Hey everyone! It’s Friday again! And now it’s July. ??!!

Did you all have a good week? I feel really weird writing this, as it feels like it should be Saturday. Having a holiday in the middle of a week is a good way to confuse a girl.

Pssst…I’m guest posting today over at My Happy Place. Want to hear more about these cookies?

Then go say hi to Sophie…and give her a hug for me!

1. This week I…

Made you kinda uncomfortable.

Made you liquid gold.

And made you real gold.

Thanks to everyone for looking at all my fun treats this week!

2. When I broke my baby fondue pot, I was outside with the fam and the dog. My dog is so addicted to people food she immediately went for the dip. She wanted it so bad it didn’t even matter that there was glass attached to it. I then had to wrestle and bribe her to “drop the damn fondue pot!” Oy. What is it with my pets?

3. Speaking of pets, did you see the instagram photo I posted about when I brushed my cat? Oh my God how does that much hair come off of them? SO nasty. Next time I’m getting a Grandma Wrinkles.

4. Speaking of Real Housewives…I was so mad the RHOC reunion wasn’t on this week. Come on Bravo, us addicts need our fix.

5. Jordan got her first two baby teeth pulled this week, which starts us on our loooooong orthodontic journey. She’s got two more to go, then we start with all the fun stuff, like braces, rubber bands, and a palate expander. She’s being a total trouper…because I promised her pierced ears if she cooperates. {Hey, if the bribe works…}

6. It’s Flashback Friday! It is HOT here…is it hot where you are? Maybe you need some ice cream? Or maybe some rockin’ good ice cream sandwiches?

7. In real life I’m not very good at inviting myself to things. Obviously in blog life, I don’t have a problem with it. I’m joining in on the Red Faced Runner’s Challenge, and signing up to do a 5k during the weekend of September 9th. Any locals want to run the Run to Remember with me on September 9th? We can get some cute socks and tweet our red-faced running photos along with all the other cool ladies. 🙂


8. And hey, because I’m a total copycat and joiner, I joined BlogFrog. I have no clue how to use it yet, but come be my friend!!

For a short week it was sure super busy! And now it’s the weekend! Do you have any fun plans?

Kisses!

  1. I joined the blogfrog thing, too, via Something Swanky. I have no idea what to do, either…Ice cream cookies sandwiches are just what’s in order this week for us locals with over 100 temps all week…Argh. The mini fondue pot is soooo cute. I really need to visit Goodwill. Stay cool!

    Also, I’m passing on the Versatile Blogger award to you, my blogger friend! For being so darn amazing and inspirational to me! Here’s the post that explains it to everyone, http://www.bakeitwithbooze.com/2012/07/versatile-blogger-award.html

  2. Happy July, Dorothy! I admit to giggling a little when I saw the “fifty shades of dessert”, heh! The brownie batter gold metal pies are amazing. I so have to make those with the impending Olympics! Ugh, sorry to hear about your daughter having to have some teeth pulled ready for braces. I can sort of relate as all 3 of my children will be having braces (I had them as a child and so did my ex partner, the father so my poor kids have the ‘we need braces’ genes!)

    Have a wonderful remainder of your weekend. It’s Monday morning here now, boo!

  3. I just joined BlogFrog too and I’m clueless!! If you learn any tips or tricks, send them my way 😉 Just joined your community. On another note, GO YOU!!! Congrats on competing in a 5K. That is a personal goal for me. I recently started running, immediately hurt myself cause I felt so great doing that I overdid it. Boo! So now I’m better and lost motivation. Need to get my rear in gear and get back out there. Thanks for the inspiration! I don’t know where you are but if you were near New Jersey I would totally run with you! Have fun!

  4. Your poor kid! I’ve never had any dental work done (my teeth are just average enough that I slid by) and when my students have to get teeth pulled I feel so awful for them. That’s the norm now; pull the teeth before you put in the expander.
    My husband thinks I’m going to run a 5K in the fall. We’ll see! I wish I could sign up for yours!
