It’s time to prep your DVR, chill the wine and warm up those fingers to tweet!! Award show season kicks off on Wednesday! Wednesday, Jan. 8 – 8 p.m. People’s Choice Awards – CBS. I’m a big fan of this one. I do like to vote every year. Here’s a look at the nominees. But…
I’m not really a ‘selfie’ person. Especially when it comes to full-body selfie’s. But today I couldn’t resist. Try dressing for 30 degree weather when you live in Florida. It’s not fun. I spent an hour last night searching for my serious winter jacket. I only get to wear it twice a year. So where…
It’s almost time for my favorite thing, the Olympics! Did you know that 20 years ago today this happened? It makes me feel so old! I remember it like it was yesterday. I was very much on Team Kerrigan. My sister was very much on Team Harding. How did that work out for you sis?…
My oldest son, Danger Cook, has been asking to redecorate his room for awhile. I kept putting it off since we’re never around saying, “wait until winter break when we’re home.” Well, that was stupid. I didn’t think about how tired we would be from holiday fun, or how messy our house would already be…
So much to say about the holidays and the year that is quickly wrapping up. But here in the Cook home, there is only one thing on our minds. The Rose Bowl. We started the school year in Michigan with a visit/reunion to our alma mater, Michigan State. We even got to peek at football…
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 36,000 times in 2013. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 13 sold-out performances for that many…
I’ve had four cats in my lifetime. Three of them could care less about the Christmas tree. They all loved the Christmas tree shirt. What’s up with that? The instant I take them out to decorate, they were on them. They would never sleep in their cat beds we bought, but those Christmas tree shirts…
You may or may not have been following the story of my friends, Amanda and Joe. They blog over at Cocktails and Chemo about some really serious stuff. But it’s funny, and sad and will make you really be thankful. They are amazing people and I’m lucky to call them friends. They recently had to…
You know much much I love talking about food, so I honored to be part of the Yelp Elite Squad. We get invited to Yelp events all around town, many times before others can even try new places. It’s a great perk. And those Yelp folks know how to throw a party! This year, they…
I like to pretend I’m some sort of expert cake pop maker. I’m not, but I pretend well. Here are some examples of past work: I’m kind of mastered the circle. But I was given a new challenge, make “dice-shaped” cake pops for a Casino night birthday party! Challenge accepted! But my brain couldn’t figure…
