RIP Winnie Pooh Girl

Amy Schumer

Thank you Ellen for having her on your show the other day. I'd never heard of her before and after seeing her on the show and she was SO FUNNY! I decided to DVR Amy's show Inside Amy Schumer. Oh. My. God. The show is crazy good. I also stumbled over one of her stand up acts that was on TV. So now I am obsessed with her and am youtubing all of her stuff!!

She's cute, raunchy and the funniest comedienne I have ever seen. I told Jeff if she comes to Des Moines, we're going! I'd even travel a few hours to see her. I checked her tour dates and it looks like it's gonna be a while before she is any where near us. Bah!

I am making stuffed green peppers today. I used hot sausage, ground beef, ground pork, minute rice, shredded mozzarella cheese with some of my homemade spaghetti sauce. I didn't add an egg this time. I found that the meat sticks together with or without the egg so why use it? My mom taught me to use soda crackersas a binder, but over the years I decided I liked minute rice (uncooked) in them better. She never made stuffed peppers, it was her meatball recipe. Which is basically what you stuff the peppers with.  I will try to remember to take some pics.

They are messy!! The sauce shoots plumes all over my stovetop and backsplash. Bah!! 

They think they're lap dogs. Stark especially. He's 'The Leaner'.

The spaghetti sauce with the stuffed peppers. I am making rotini noodles to go with this. I like the way the sauce sticks to the rotini, and it's toothsome. Plus I can scoop a big spoonful and get a big bite! That's why I'm fat! Okay, not the main reason I'm fat....but one of'em! :)

Time for a Nocturne Alchemy review.

Shadow Amber Venom

Knowing I LOVE NA's Cobra Venom I knew I had to have this. In the bottle it is mostly patchouli. It reminds me of New Orleans too. Deep and dark and holding a lot of secrets. It smells like the voodoo shops I browse in New Orleans. Pungent, hippy, and incense. I am loving this already.

On the wrist it's the same. Green, sharp, and unrelenting. Jeff with absolutely hate this. But I....I love it!!
What's in this?  Shadow Amber, Black Amber Resin, Nokturne: Hessonite (Egyptian Patchouli), Black Sandalwood, Black Temple NA Incense, Black Vanilla & Black Myrrh Resin.

OMG, everything I love...myrrh, sandalwood, amber, vanilla...the only thing it's missing is frankincense.
 NA knocked it out of the ballpark again!

More on Lou Lou's

When I received my Lou Lou's order she gave me a lot of samples of her products. One of the items was a small plastic container with flip lid of a solid perfume called Princesses and Playtime. I put some on earlier and it's morphed into this feminine, wispy fragrance.

It started out lemony. Which I love and she didn't even know I love lemon scents. As it melts into my skin it's become sugary, sweet, vanilly happiness! I love it! So far I've loved every single thing I've bought and all the freebies she gave me. Let me see what's in this....

This is a fruity, feminine blend of fresh raspberry, blackberry, strawberry, pomegranate, mandarin, grapefruit, lime, and fresh cut green grass with a touch of bamboo over a base of vanilla musk.

Lime! I was close and I nailed the vanilla....well kinda....LOL The musk smooths out the tartness of the citrus, this is perfect. Very springy, fresh and bright. The musk continues to get stronger, even though the fruit does not take the back stage. This solid perfume is going to be awesome after a bath because it's kind of like a massage bar. Creamy and adding moisture to the skin.

Evelyn's got me addicted to her products. Shame on her, doing that to an innocent bystander. Pffft

I smell so good!! :)
You can buy her stuff here.             Lou Lou's

She always has coupons too and she is generous with her samples. She says she is going to start making the solid perfume so I am going to have to get a bunch. This Princesses and Playtime solid smells as strong now as it did an hour ago when I put it on. Me's likin' some solids!

My husband

read my post the other day before I published it. The one about him being 185 lbs when I moved in with him. hehe
He says, "Why are you writing about me?" LOL

I told him I write about him all the time and normally I call him Wimpy Chicken Shit because he doesn't eat hot food. That shut him up. Hahahahaha
He actually didn't care. Which surprises me. He's a strong opinionated man but he knows he can't hold me down. I made sure of that years ago. I told him he can read my blog anytime he wants. He just doesn't want to. The only thing he reads is the newspaper, and the occasional magazine.

Blind pick from my bag of oils.

The Morbid The Merrier-Agatha

I got 9 from vials from this particular perfumer-The Morbid the Merrier. I know already by just smelling the vials that she's my kind of perfumer. Her oils are deep, unique and imaginative. I guess she's out of business now. I hope she comes back I'd like to have more of her oils.
Back to Agatha. It is in a dark brown vial so I don't know what color it is.
In the vial: pungent and earthy. Musky and musty. It also has an air of clean clothing floating in the breeze. Isn't that wild?! How can a perfume be clean breezy at the same time as deep and musky? I don't know but she's done it.
On the hand it's still the same, slightly sharp and smooth at the same time. This would be heavenly on a man. I doubt I can find the scent description anywhere. I tried goggling and nada. So sad.

Damn Pinterest is making me fatter and now I'm into mini gardening. OMG I don't need another addiction. I've bought all kinds of things for my mini gardens, fairies, elves, houses, bridges, animals, little bikes, wheelbarrows, gardening tools.....the list is crazy! It's not even warm enough to start making them yet! Someone ban me from Pinterest!!

The first things I do when I get home from work are to pull out the contacts, yank off the bra and PIN. No wonder my blog's being neglected! No I don't sit here in the nude and PIN, I do put sweats and a tshirt on. I'm beginning to think Maxine is my twin! She sums up exactly what I think on all subjects! That's scary!

I went to get Loo-Cee out tonight and she won't start! She's just clickin! We even started her a couple times this winter with no problem. Jeff's out there now charging the battery so we will have to take her out for 10-15 minutes tonight. Yippee!!


We're back now. I keep saying this but it's so true---THAT CAR'S A BLAST TO DRIVE!!! I'm putting our cat Winnie to sleep on Tuesday. I'm done with her pooping and peeing all over the house. She's in stage 4 renal failure and she's not happy. I haven't put a cat to sleep since 2003. I'm sad but can't wait to have a 'clean' house again. I'm going to have to scrub with boiling water after she's gone, I feel like. I know we've gone through a lot of 409 and Clorox in the last year or so. I should have bought stock in that company!

That's three cats we've lost in less than a year. Now we will only have Mojo. No more cats for us. When they get old they decide they can potty anywhere. Yuck. We had 13 at one time once. Eight adults and five kittens. I love cats but am just done with them.

Lush!

We're getting a Lush store in West Des Moines!!! My husband called me at work to tell me. Now isn't that a great guy!?? I must say he deserves a reward for that.

I had ONE

mini Reeses peanut butter cup left and as I was unwrapping it my dawgs were staring at me.



I yelled, "It's mine! It's mine!", as I ran between their bodies to get to the computer chair.



Freaking spoiled dawgs.

True story.

pffffft
