I Like what I Like

This afternoon, as I stood at near my kitchen table and feverishly opened the container of my latest obsession, I thought of you . . . my dear blog friends.  It's been a while since I've shared my latest obsessions with you, don't you think? It seems there is no time like the present!

So, here are the Top 5 things I am totally so in love with these days . . . in no particular order:


1. Archer Farms ZEN TRAIL MIX! I picked some up at the local Target store a few months ago, and I can't get enough of it now. A small 8 oz. bag is about $2.49 in our area . . . and so very worth every penny! Perfect little mid afternoon snack that gives me the push that I need. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

2. ADELE!!!! I've been a fan for quite some time, and am sure you have all heard her amazing voice by now. But in case you haven't, consider picking up this DVD . . . PG bought it for me at Christmas, and it can be heard playing in my home at least once a day. I haven't been moved by music this much is a long time, and I am OBSESSED! She is really like no other.

3. SIMPLIFYING LIFE . . . and DELETING . . . I am trying to purge lately . . . organize, throw away, deleting all those things I've been holding on to for no reason at all. Even in the cyber world. I went onto my gmail account this afternoon and spent almost twenty minutes looking for a specific email that I wanted, while weeding through hundreds that I didn't need. How is your "INBOX" lately? Mine was atrocious. I have a bad habit of reading emails, and just keeping them in my "inbox" . . . and not deleting them. I had over 2,400 emails in my inbox. Each has been read, but do I really need to KEEP them? I have NEVER gone back and looked through them . . . what am I hold on to them for? Do I really need to know that on October 3rd, 2011,  Joe Shmo repinned a pin of mine on Pinterest? I mean, it's lovely to know that someone else likes something I like, but do I need to keep the email telling me so? Nope . . . I don't. So, I'm getting ride of the garbage. SIMPLIFYING LIFE.

4. THE VOICE!!! Ok, I don't know where I was last time around, but I was not at all into "The Voice" during it's first season. This year, however, is a different story. I AM OBSESSED!!! Can't get enough! Want to watch it . . . all of the time.

5. Cube Crasher on Facebook . . . yes, I'm obsessed. Have you played this game? Oh, you really must! It's funny, but this game is honestly good for my health. I am sure of it. It brings the blood pressure down. Have I tested it? No . . . of course not . . . but I feel calmer when I am playing it. I forget my worries. I de-stress. I escape. I lose any sense of anxiety or pressure that day to day issues may present. It's my little bit of quite R&R time at the end of a long day. And, truth be told, I often changed my facebook status to "offline" just so I am not interrupted with messages from people while I am playing. LOVE IT!

Thanks for letting me share my most recent passions with you.
This is a pretty honest look at me . . . trail snack and all!

Any obsessions in your life right now?
Leave me a comment and share . . . I'd LOVE to know!

    If you love Adele then you will love Florence + The Machine. LOVE.
    Gorgeous voice that is perfect background noise to create or to simply infuse your soul.
    She's always on when I scrapbook ;)

My Dream Home Smash Book

Have you ever heard of a Smash Book? If you are a scrapbooker or art journal person, you may have. If you are not one of those types, you may not have. I am a scrapbooker . . . but had no idea what a Smash Book was. That is, until my dear friend Peggy brought hers to our Scrapbook Cellar gathering last month. She introduced us all to her cool little composition journal, and the conversation went something like this: PK :  Here is my Smash book. Me : Your what? PK : My Smash Book. Me : Like, smash, what? PK : Smash . . . things. You know. Like, stuff. Me : What? PK : See . . . I will put stuff in here. Junk. Things I don't want to lose, but don't know what to do with. Me : Huh? PK : Smash. Me : I don't get it. PK : Google it. CE (our friend, Cindi, who just entered the conversation and saw was PK was holding): Oh, a Smash Book! Cool! Me : Huh? CE : Google it. LT (my sister, Laura, who is right there with me): I don't get it. So, I googled it.

Any Day Now . . .

Any day now . . . Any day now . . . we will see you in all your glory, and the memory of past Springs will become our reality once again.  Any day now . . . I will walk passed you and be reminded of that scene in "Willie Wonka" . . . Gene Wilder as "Willie Wonka" image obtained from Google Image Search. Original site unknown. . . . when Gene Wilder drinks something (that I like to imagine is the sweetest, butteriest, most amazing thing) from a buttercup, and I'll wish just once I could do the same with you. Any day now . . . I will turn the corner of our block and find you waiting for me with your petals wide open, as if wanting to give me a Spring hug, and your scent will make me feel as if the heavens have opened up and sprinkled sweet smells over us all. Any day now . . . can't come soon enough.

Howdy Friends!!! Hope this post finds you all doing well! As part of my blog series "100 Things to Do with Grapes"  (STOP - wait a minute .... are you kidding me??? I don't have a blog series about grapes!!! Oh - but just imagine if I did!!!), I just had to share with you one of my very all time favorite summer treats . . .  Ok, are you even slightly interested? Hang in there with me, ok? Because this easy, summer "yum" is bound to be a favorite of YOURS!!!! That is . . . unless you have a peanut allergy. If you have a peanut allergy, I would STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST making this treat. (Come back Monday for another more appropriate post for you.) If you DON'T have peanut allergy . . . run to the store RIGHT NOW and pick up these three things . . . Seriously . . . it only takes these three things; green grapes, lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, and a bag of white chips. Seriously . . . that is all! So, how do you make these awesome snackies? Fir
