This is the car parked "next to me" in the parking lot at my office.
There had to have been some sort of grand mal seizure involved in this operation. Unreal. This has got to be the worst I've ever seen.

Ice Cream Sundays - Chocolate Peppermint Crunch
Ben and Jerry's just came out with 2 new flavors and I finally got to try them recently. I say "finally" because they've been out for a couple of months but I wasn't in a position ass-wise to go buying 2 pints of ice cream. Luckily my mom saved the day and bought both pints at her house so I was able to try both without being held hostage to them in my own house. This is just a frightening glance into my complex mind when it involves ice cream.
Anywho...This flavor is AMAZING. My new favorite as a matter of fact. It has Chocolate Ice Cream with Peppermint and Fudge Swirls, with Mint Chocolate Cookie Balls.
So basically, everything that is right with the world.
Ok first of all, the peppermint and fudge swirls are to die for. They are so gooey and tasty and so everything. Then there's the mint chocolate cookie balls. Do you like Girl Scout Cookie Thin Mints? I'm assuming the answer to that was an astounding HELL YES. In which case, go to the grocery store now and buy this flavor. Because you are basically getting amazing chocolate/mint/fudge ice cream with a bonus of Thin Mints in it.
Ahh hell yea.
If that isn't enough to justify a new favorite flavor, I don't know what is. Try it this weekend. The mint gives this ice cream the perfect refreshing flavor for a hot summer's day.

Frozen Strawberry Margaritas
I have the perfect weekend cocktail recipe for you. It's cold, it's refreshing, and it's actually "healthy". Healthy as in there is no added sugar or syrup or anything. Not healthy as in it contains alcohol. But hey, it's Friday, so who gives a crap?
Here's the recipe - Frozen Strawberry Margaritas
They are oh so good, and oh so guilt free because there are no artificial ingredients or added sugar.
I made a few batches last weekend and I couldn't get enough! The recipe is almost exactly as I found it on ValSoCal.com, with a few exceptions.
6 ounces of tequila
2 ounces grand marnier or Triple Sec
1 quart of fresh strawberries,
2 ounces grand marnier or Triple Sec
1 quart of fresh strawberries,
*I used strawberries I froze last weekend from Lewis Farms and they were amazing
3 limes, juiced
3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons agave nectar, I omitted
3 to 4 cups of ice
3 limes, juiced
3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons agave nectar, I omitted
3 to 4 cups of ice
The flavor and texture after being blended really did taste like a restaurant style margarita/daiquiri. You could easily make this a true daiquiri by using rum instead of tequila. Or a virgin daiquiri by omitting alcohol altogether. Ole!! to another weekend!
Craigs List - One Man Needs Date to a Wedding
In case you are looking for something to do this weekend, I have a possibility for you!
The only requirements to apply for the position are:
Looking for a well-rounded young lady that is educated, can dance, and is at least 21.
if interested you should please provide:
- a selfie
- brief resume
- your favorite color
if interested you should please provide:
- a selfie
- brief resume
- your favorite color
The selfie alone would be a deal breaker for me because, well, selfies are heinous abuses of social media. But he looks like a catch nonetheless. At least for the weekend!
And as a bonus I bet he is asking for your favorite color for a corsage purchase! Oh la la!
Wedding Market Brilliance

Here's the business premise in a nutshell:
"Over 250,000 weddings are called off every year.
Bridal Brokerage finds new couples to take over canceled wedding contracts, saving money for buyers, sellers, and wedding vendors alike.
As thousands have registered to purchase beautiful weddings at a fraction of the price, we’ve found another way to make weddings even more affordable.
Wedding vendors are looking to fill their availability over the next 6 months.
If you’re happy with one of our dates, we’re happy to discount the price.
Welcome to Bridal Brokerage. A New Market for Weddings."
I saw this on the Today show this morning and I kind of can't believe no one has already thought of it. People are always looking to make money off of tragedies. I guess this is kind of like the cremation services of broken engagements. But everybody technically "wins".
At least in this case the broken couple gets a little money back and the new couple gets a fly wedding on the cheap.
I really can't imagine how low that would feel when you have your engagement called off and then you subsequently have to go to BridalBrokerage.com and click on the link to "Sell Your Wedding." But still, a little money back might help buy a little happy back!
Speaking of broken engagements, I know of several couples in the last few years who have either had a broken engagement or a marriage that lasted less than a year. I know it is extremely sad and surprising for the couples involved, but why does everyone have to pretend like it never happened?
If you were engaged or married the last time I saw you and now you're not, feel free to offer up an explanation, because you know I'm going to be curious!

Cookie Monster
Happy National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day!
Fun fact:
"Ever wonder how the chocolate chip cookie came to be? Legend has it that it was created in the 1930s by Ruth Wakefield at the Toll House Inn in Whitman, Mass. Wakefield apparently decided to add a few bits of chopped chocolate to a batch of butter cookie dough, expecting the chocolate to melt into the cookies as they baked. To her surprise, the chocolate held its shape and America's favorite cookie was born." (Source)
In case you are ever one Baked-Goods Jeopardy you might need to know that. Now go get a cookie and celebrate!
