10 Amazing Life Lessons You Can Learn From Albert Einstein

1. Follow Your Curiosity. "I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious."
2. Perseverance is Priceless. "It's not that I'm so smart; it's just that I stay with problems longer."
3. Focus on the Present. "Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves."

Hello good people of the blogosphere...

It's Friday night (well, Saturday morning really) and I'm laying in bed thinking to myself, "Self, you really should post a blog," and I replied to myself, "but I'm so warm and cozy, I can't get out of bed."

After several minutes of intense, slightly schizophrenic arguing with myself, we were able to come to a compromise. I can post some silly pics from my phone while staying warm and cozy in bed. Here you go world.


Oh man, this just makes me giggle.


Sometimes people just need to be high fived in the face...


My dad is 6"8. My "little" sister is 5"10. My mom is 5"9. I am five feet four inches tall. I am the fun size candy bar.


I may be short but I'm still bad-ass. (that's me on Halloween '09)

Sleepy Time

If I were to ask you, "You, what are some of the best inventions ever?" I already know what you'd say.

1. Chocolate

2. The Internet (Duh!)

3. Body Pillows

Yes, that's right. Body Pillows. Big, soft, cuddly, Body pillows. Best thing ever.

Body pillows are great for so many reasons...

If you're single and love to cuddle you can just cuddle up next to it.

If you're pregnant you can use it in about a million different ways to get comfortable in bed or on the couch.

If you aren't single, and love to cuddle, but your boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband are busy our out of town, you can cuddle up.

Not to mention all the great covers you can get for them to go with any decor or theme. They are just plain dandy!

Target has some great covers and great deals on pillows. I highly recomend purchasing one if you don't already have one of these babies. They are fan-freaking-tastic!

Ah, to be young and in love...

First off, I didn't take any of the photos.  Second, I also didn't pay enough attention to who did take them and where I found them.  I just have a folder I stick cool photos in.  If you, or you know who, took these, please let me know and I'd be more than happy to give credit where credit is due.

Blogs that make you go "HAHAHAHAHA"

I don't read many blogs on a regular basis but there are a few that I keep myself updated with.  Some are informative, and some are...well just plain entertaining.  Mostly, their both.  I love to laugh and these always make me giggle no matter what.  If you have the time, take a look, send 'em a message, have a giggle.

Wendi Aarons -   I have absolutly nothing in common with this woman but OMG this gal is F-U-N-N-Y funny! Everytime I get an email telling me she's updated I smile immidiately becasue I know I'll be in for some giggles.

Our Best Bites -  Not only are the gals who run this site funny, they come up with some super tastey treats as well! I've made a ton of different recipes. Check 'em out!

Lolly Chops -  This chic is so adorable! I love DogChops lol! She runs a great craft site and of course she's silly and funny and makes me laugh constantly!

I hope you guys enjoy these blogs as much as I do! :-D

Who you callin' white trash?

Well you can call me anything you want if you make me some of these!  I don't know who came up with these but I do know that whenever I make them I become more popular then I've ever been.  I'd like to think that these make my personality shine but it's more likely the chocolate that keeps them coming back.  If you've never made these or never eaten them then DO IT!  They are fan-freaking-tastic!

White Trash Truffles 

• 1 package of Oreo cookies
• 1 package of cream cheese
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

In a heavy duty ziploc bag, crush Oreo cookies until there are no chunks left. A rolling pin is helpful for this, just be careful that the ziploc bag doesn't tear. If you're fancy and have a food processor I highly recommend using it to crush these, makes things much easier.
Add cream cheese to the Oreo mixture and seal the bag. Mix the ingredients together until fully incorporated.This will give you a VERY sticky dough.
Use a cookie dough scoop to scoop mixture and use hands to roll into truffle-sized balls. Place onto foil lined cookie sheets. Chill for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt chocolate chips in a small saucepan on the lowest heat. stirring often.  I recommend using a double boiler or making one. Remove truffles from the fridge and drop two at a time into the melted chocolate. When coated, carefully remove from pan and set on foil lined cookie sheet. Chill until chocolate has hardened.
Makes 2 1/2 dozen truffles.

Personally I think they are the best once their chilled and served cold.  When they are served at room temp they are a bit sticky .

Enjoy!

Something is better than nothing right?

And for the ladies...
