Off Subject: Things That Made Me LOL Today

So things have been pretty hectic around here this week all in preparation of Opening Day tomorrow. It seems one of our clients will be having a stand in downtown St. Louis advertising the goods with the populated streets of baseball fans and drunk people. And with that advertising, comes designs from yours truly.

So in helping to keep the sanity, I'm posting a few things that made me giggle today:

The Bronx Zoo Cobra is missing. Very deadly. Yet very witty...ahem, twitty. Started following his tweets after watching Jon Stewart's little play with words on the daily show "He's more afraid of you than you are of him, but he shouldn't be. He can easily kill you with one bite. and what are you...a graphic designer?" hehe


Also making the list of giving me the gigglies today: Charlie Sheen remix from the guys who brought us Bedroom Intruder



But this one, to the tune of Black and Yellow, is way better! I chortle...



Man, I really needed that. haha
Can't wait to partake in the festivities that is Opening Day tomorrow.

GO CARDS! #Winning!

Currently Baking: Sweet Potato Fries

I am on a sweet potato kick and it's not ending anytime soon. They are so delicious! The best is if you have a mandolin so you can make perfect slices, but they are good anyway you slice it.

Last night was the Tennessee Lady Volunteers game vs. Notre Dame in the Elite Eight. I'm a die ard Tennessee fan (cant you tell by my uninhibited use of the color orange), and thought that the Orange of the fries would be a good treat as well as way to REPRESENT! Unfortunately they lost...

it was the first time Notre Dame has EVER beaten the Vols in the history of the organization.

Anywho, I designed these little recipe cards for things that I make over and over again and thought I would share. Definitely worth a try. They are pretty darn good :)

Also me and my husband are counting calories these days so I included that in the card as well.

Have a great day!
(Opening Day Countdown: 2 days.)

Young Professionals: March - EPC

Last night was the March meeting of Young Professionals, a group created out of the St. Charles Chamber. They meet monthly for a happy hour (or "After Hours" to sound more professional) sponsored by a business (also meeting for lunches and special presentations scattered throughout the month), aimed at getting together to not only get the sponsor's name some recognition, but also your own. This time the networking rendezvous was at EPC in St. Charles.

EPC is a company that recycles electronics, even giving away a laptop computer at the end of the night as a prize. Their slogan: Resale Recycle Relax.

Relax, we did. Relax, we did...

Currently Reading: Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Met last night for the 9th meeting of the Read Wine Book Club to discuss the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society which is about a book club created during the Nazi occupation of the Channel Islands in England. It's written in letters and is just an intriguing story of hope and good that came out of a terrible situation. Very cute ending.

At the meeting last night, we took a stab at making a Potato Peel Pie which didn't turn out too bad, I must admit. Could have used a little salt and butter, but those things were not accessible to the island of Guernsey during the Occupation so we suffered as they suffered :)

The recipe can be found on this cute website created for the book. Kind of love how interactive they made it. You can send a letter to a friend on Guernsey e-letterhead and it also has ideas for book clubs to partake.

The other part of Read Wine Book Club is for each member to bring a bottle of wine inspired by the book. Lots of farming inspired wine labels. If the Smiley face wine is sticking out to you, that was Claire's and she said she chose it because the book made her happy :)

Definitely recommend this book.
Its a quick read and sure to make you smile when you are done.

I cannot believe I have not updated this since January 3rd. I have been meaning to get around to it for awhile now. Which projects I've been working on and things I have crafted and baked. So Hopefully here is to things to come!

Especially since spring is here :)
