Riot and Frolic

a mostly ballroom dance, but also a bunch of other stuff, blog

– a full week with my posts on the scheduled days and subjects.  Score.

– Whaaaa?  Have you forgotten?  I'm totally on a schedule

  • Monday- what you're reading.  I like to refer it as the LLLL post.  
  • Tuesday– foooooooood.  Nom.  Let's go eat.  Hopefully a recipe.  Or a disater.  Or a success. 
  • Wednesday– Crafty Crafterton.  I even have this week's post in the chute.  So excited.  
  • Thursday– The Pinterest Project.  Often mixing my mediocre crafting and mediocre kitchening skills.
  • Friday– my ballroom dance posts.  Let's call them "dance rants."  

– realization that my properly labeling an image "fushcia" has directed a lot of people to my website.  Hi, new peeps!  For fun, go to here.  See that first image?  Yeah, that's me. 

– a chilly, but exhilarating ride on my scooter.  Um, how awesome is it?  Real Awesome.  That's right, capital "A."  Can.  Not.  Wait.  For.  Spring.  

Only.  Six.  Months.  Away.

Love you, Minnesota!

– my first Thanksgiving.  This picture does not accurately depict the amount of food we had.  There was tons.

    Thanksgiving dinner

It was good.  My turkey rocked.  The sweet potatoes were cake [easy].  There was a prevalence of bacon.  However, the pie, my pie (the easiest thing, in my mind, to make) took me four tries.  But it was a winner in the end.  Let's talk about that tomorrow.  I'm still a little upset.  

– a family trip to the Minnesota Zoo.  We finally cashed in the gift certificate we had gotten last Christmas and bought a family membership.  EEEEEEEEE!  CAN I TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I AM?

I'm excited.  

A) The girls freaking love the zoo.

B) There is a little play area for ONE TO THREE YEAR OLDS!

C) I freaking love the zoo.

What else do I need?  Well, there are lots of benefits.  I'm p-syched.  (Does anyone else have to say that while they're typing the word "psyched"?  Clearly, I do.)

    Peppermint mocha. I mean, is that really coffee? And he scoffed at ME when I ordered MY Princess drink (vanilla soy latte with an extra shot).

    Your princess drink is delicous. I drank it today. And felt pretty. I had a grande coffee yesterday with a depth charge at 4pm… I had some WEIRD dreams last night.
    Did he enjoy the girly, I mean, manly mocha? I am 50% excited for Vegas and 50% excited for the Starbucks within arms reach…
