Holy Cow. I Submitted it... and Now I'm Nervous.

Hey. So. I did it.
I submitted a short sample article to be critiqued and with any luck published.
I know I can write, but for some reason this was different.
I had such a hard time with getting this article banged out.
It wasn't writers block so much as nervousness.
The whole time I was writing I kept thinking what if people think what I'm writing about is fromage?
The first draft absolutely was ...
I changed it dramatically the second time around. I'm sure it's better, but is it good?
I am not prepared to post it here as of yet.
I want to know what changes I need to make to it before I share it here, and better yet I'd like to know what I can do better and post a link to the published article ... if it makes it.
If it doesn't then... You guys are stuck with the draft sans edits, and with out me being an actual published author.
sigh.
Well wish me luck.

I wonder when I will hear from them?

Night for now.

HMMMM Published on a REAL BLOG....

I might have the opportunity to write for an already successful blog! (I know, I know... they've obviously never seen this one -.- cuz they wouldn't want me LMAO)
... but seriously, it's true!
I will be covering all things iPhone including but not limited to special offers, devices, releases, and apps.
I would say that I am excited and a touch nervous.
The gig isn't for sure. I will have to send in a couple of sample articles and see if the editor is willing to put up with my inability to use good grammar. ^_^

Wish me luck folks, and better yet if you know how to edit... HELP!!!!

Have an awesome day.

Fraise a la Grand Marnier.

Ok that title is a touch pretentious.
I really wanted something fresh and fun for desert the other day and couldn't think of what to make.
So ... as anyone would do; I opened the refrigerator and quickly noticed that I didn't have much in there.
Refrigerator inventory: cold cuts, condiments, wholegrain bread, milk, a can of pop, and some other mundane items (pre-grocery shopping day) and strawberries.
That's it!!!! Strawberries!!!

This will take 24 hours to complete, and it's really hard to make... (only the 24hour part of that is true.)



Here's what you'll need:
1 small box of strawberries (usually around 20-25)
2 Tablespoons of sugar
2 Tablespoons of Grand Marnier (not necessary could also use rum/vodka or nothing at all)

Now on to the hard stuff:
Clean and quarter the berries into a bowl.
Add sugar
Add Grand Marnier
Mix together, and throw it into the fridge.

Then every so often stir the berries.
(um ya... so that's the end of the recipe)
Take your mixture out of fridge the next day, and serve with Ice Cream or Fresh Whipped Cream. Enjoy!
MMMMMM...

Tassimo just sent me 2 coupons for FREE t-disks...

TASSIMO! IS AWESSIMO!

I'm such a nerd.
I'm not even gonna try to lie, I AM ADDICTED to Starbucks coffee. Between the Bob and I, we spend nearly $450.00 per month at the above noted coffee shop... I know right... WHAT?
It's true.

We figured it would be best to just find a machine that could make espresso, and cappuccinos so we could save some money.
Then the thought of waking up at 5:30 am and making espresso made me shutter, the decision was made to find a machine that is automatic and could make specialty coffees.

In comes this Tassimo thingy.

I asked my mom about it and she said she'd heard alot of good things about it.
So off Bob and I went to find one.
Low and behold Home Outfitters had a crap load of them. I called my mom once more to see if she had heard of a better price. (Home Outfitters was selling them from 122-189 or something like that) My mom said Zellers was selling them for 99.99! Guess where Bob and I ended up?
That's right, and frankly I'm soo happy for it....
I purchased some t discs from H.O., and then some caramel from Metro and woooooooooie, I've something close to caramel macchiatos.
I'm quite satisfied.

I've already used it like 4 times between yesterday and today.
lol
Coffee is going to cost closer to $2.00 than $5.20.
(that's if I always purchase the Starbucks cappuccino packages of t discs and caramel) Still better than 5.20...

Love it. I say if you're thinking about it Buy it. You won't regret it.
