Bah!!! Internet AND cable TV down all night last night!!
Blasphemy!!!! Got home at 7pm, both out. Called Mediacom, they said 3-4 hours. Woke up at midnight, still out, called again. Told me 6am. Woke up, got ready for work, still out. Called at 7:50am. Told me 3 hours. uh huh. Mediacom sucks and if we had another cable company to use, we'd be using them but they have a monopoly here. We pay 250.00 a month for 4 cable boxes, one has HD and DVR, and internet. Ridiculous!!
I'm almost ready to go to Direct TV, but when we price what we have, the price is about the same for both.....so Id rather keep my cable because we have a lot of bad weather in Iowa and satellite would go down for sure during storms. Lose, lose situation. WE'RE IN A CATCH 22 DREAM!!
I'm HOOKED on Pinterest. Like I need a new website!!!

The food!!! The FOOD!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I'm in Vietnamese food heaven!! I ate homemade pho on Saturday and I'm already having another craving. Tomorrow me and Jasmine from work hit Pho 888 for lunch.

She says there is a beef salad that's scrumptious. I can't wait!
Today I wore Phantom from Vapothecary (Nocturne Alchemy) to work. It's smells so wonderful that a co-worker yells someone smells good! She blamed another co-worker but that co-worker says not it's not me , I think it's Lori. I just acted like I didn't hear anything!! I don't want people smelling like me, so my lips were sealed!!
Phantom: http://cattastroficka.blogspot.com/2013/10/phantom-by-vapothecary.html
Today though it was all candylike, more candy than the first time I reviewed it. CRAZY! Crazy!!
We had guinea grinders for supper.
1 loaf French or Italian bread
1 lb 80% ground beef
1 lb hot Italian sausage
2 tblsp tomato paste
1/4 small onion chopped
1/4 green pepper chopped
1/2 large jalapeno chopped fine
4 to 6 Mozzarella cheese slices
4 American cheese slices
Chili powder to taste--I like about 2 tablsp
Garlic Powder to taste- I like 2 tsp.
Garlic salt to taste- I like 1 tsp
and some salt
Cook the beef and sausage all the while breaking it down with a spatula. Brown it. DO NOT pour off the grease! Add the seasonings and tomato paste. Stir well. Cook on low for 5 minutes.
Slice the bread horizontally in the middle. I then dig out some of the bread with my fingers to create a well in the bottom half. Load the meat into the well. Top with the onions, peppers and then the cheeses.
Bake at 325 for 25 minutes then up the temp to 375 for 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and let rest 5-8 minutes. Cut into manageable sizes.
The fats from the meat will soak into the bottom bread and create this oily, crispy crust. I suppose if you're watching your weight or fats then you can drain the meat but I don't recommend it. No wonder my doctor hates me. LOL
A wooden roller coaster from the 70's from my past. Rode it so many times that I could feel the curves and hills in this video. Awesome!!

Eagle Cam
Every year for the past 4 years I've watched the Decorah Iowa Eagle Cam. It starts in the fall and you see the pair fix the nest then lay their eggs and brood them until they hatch about February. They hatch then the babies grow and finally fledge. It's wild watching the parents bring food to the babies.
Here's the link:
http://www.decoraheaglecamalerts.com/ie.htm
I made a peanut butter cake from scratch with homemade peanut butter frosting and the cake tastes like a pancake. But it was still warm. Everything tastes different when it's warm. I am hoping the decandent frosting will seep into the cake. It's already started actually. No shit. Jeff laughed his ass off-- about the pancake taste.. The punk. Okay, maybe I suck at baking. Ehhhhh
I'll still eat it. I am craving pho and peanut butter cake. No, I'm not preggers.
I think Melissa McCarthy is my fave actress right now. I've NEVER had a fave actress.I wasn't expecting to like 'The Heat'. But that was probably one of the funniest movies I've seen for a long time.
Still watching that eagle nest!!??
I bought $200 worth of product to make my wreaths. Stuff was 80% off so I got $1000 worth of stuff for $200. I'm stoked! <<so 80's
I think I might try to sell a few, see if I can at least make my money back.
Time for a blind pick!!
Juliet
In the vial: no color, clear. I love those, they always seem mysterious and also that they can be any kind of scent, it's fun to try to guess.
In the vial still: Lily, vibrant floral, almost ghostly, clean and in a really good way. It's a rainstorm. A windstorm! The scent is the microphone picking up the thuds and whistles of the wind. I have to get this on my skin. I chose a wrist, something new for me. Normally I schlock it on the back of my hand. Not this. It's a beautiful smell that rivals the old time colognes. All floral, strong yet breezy. God that sounds corny. Calgon, take me away! You'll only get that if you're at least 30 years old.
Fadin out here! Adios! Syanara. Kapeesh. Auv Vrwah.. That's French. Are River Detchee. That's up in Wisconsin I think. It might be Michigan. Not sure.
Chelsea Handler is the bomb. No shit. I love her dry sense of humor and also her wet sense of humor. Is there such a thing as wet humor? Well she has it. No I am not gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I get her.
That whole paragraph sounded perverted, didn't it?<<< I'm writing this sentence DAYS after writing the above sentence. <<this one too<< and this one<<< and this one<<< this one<<< yep<< yeppers<<< uh huh.......
Juliet is still uberly, effervescencley vibrant girly smell. All flowers and sun. I can't help that I MAKE UP WORDS. Why was that all caps, I didn't do that. ? I've been hinxed!
What's in Juliet?? Utter wonderfulnous<< that's coming from ME!!!.
Sweet pea with stargazer lily, calla lily, heliotrope, honeysuckle, white musk and a touch of fresh pear.
Ahhhh! Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. That sums it up.
The Mississipi Crock Pot Roast Beast was extremely good. That means a lot! Jeff said it was probably the best roast that he'd ever ate. It wasn't tender, Tim was right about that, but the flavor made up for it.

It's a fact
We're killing our world. Slowly, that's for sure, but it's inevitable. We're killing our rivers, and forests and every species of animal, insect and plant. No way our planet will be able to sustain the population nor the pollution. I'd hate to be alive at the end of the world. What a horrific catastrophe. Sad.
Do you think you 'live' on after death? Or is it just a blackness, like sleeping. Do you think there's a 'God'. Someone or something that is there when you die? The world is pretty 'fact' based. No such things as ghosts, reincarnation, channeling, psychic readings. It's all hockey puck. When you die, you die. You're just gone. I like to 'entertain' that there's something else out there. That my entity will go to another dimension. But it aint happenin. I recently read Tuesdays with Morrie. I commend him on trying to teach people to live in the moment and to love, love, love. I know he reached some. Some people look at life differently because of him. Good. That was his intent.
I'm not much of a 'people' person. I'm more nature involved. I love animals, and trees, flowers, tangible things. I DO like certain people though. Like my husband. He's tangible. Oh yeah. LOL
I'm reading The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill. I also have the DVD coming. It's a story of a guy down on his luck getting lucky to be able to stay at a place that had these wild parrots living in the vicinity. Great story. It's in San Francisco. He gets to know them by feeding them and helping them according to their individual needs. Every parrot is different in not only the way they looked, but temperament and personality.

I loved Tupelo too. sniffle
Be back later.....with some bpal reviews...
Mississippi Crock Pot Roast Beast aka Mississippi Pot Roast
I'm making this today since I am off work for an appointment and found the recipe on one of my favorite blogs. http://rouxbdoo.blogspot.com/ His blog link is also down and to the right --->
It's 3:00 now and I put it on at 11:00, to be done by the time Jeff gets home. I went to my appt and came back and you're right Tim (Rouxbdoo)--it smells really good in here!! Yum! Can't wait to eat it.
Copied from Rouxbdoo's blog:
Mississippi Pot Roast
1 beef chuck roast, 3 - 4 lbs
1 packet McCormicks powdered Au Jus mix
1 packet Hidden Valley powdered Ranch Dressing mix
1 stick of butter
6 - 8 pepperoncini peppers
Preparation
Spray your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray, place roast in the pot, cover top with ranch mix and cover that with au jus mix. Lay the stick of butter on top and scatter the pepperoncinis over the top of the powder covered roast. Replace lid and cook for 8 hrs on LOW.
Now, here's the warning. DO NOT ADD WATER.
I haven't decided the sides yet but I do have some dense soft bread. Jeff loves bread with his meals. I think he's going to devour this roast. Roast is his all time favorite meal over anything else! Maybe I'll make some red beans and rice for a side, that sounds good too.
I made a video of my kitchen, there's been several people that want to see all my suns I have decorated with.

Remember how I said I was letting my natural hair grow out?? Well, here's the stage I am at!! OMG! I've been blonde since 8th grade!!
SCE-E-E-E-E-R-E-D!!!
Here's a pic when I had red, brown and blonde in my hair. I LOVED this look but the girl that did this for me moved to South Dakota and I've never been able to find anyone as good.
I have no idea what he wants. If anyone can tell me that'd be great!! I went into the kitchen to smell the roast beast and turned around to find this.
I think he's trying to look innocent, what do you think? Like....."I carry this ball around with me wherever I go so don't be getting any big ideas that I want to play or anything. In fact, I think it's stuck to my lip and I might need a bambulance."
"Or maybe I need a ballbulance. To lance this ball off my lips. It seems to be stuck."

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww....
So I've put Loo-Cee (yes I changed the spelling) away for the winter.
She seemed sad that she's not going to be zipping along I-235 in the mornings and afternoons. Oh....that's me that's sad. Sigh. She's so much fun to drive. By far the easiest and funnest (is that a word) car I have ever driven. It's funny because I'll be zooming along the freeway thinking I am going 10 miles over the speed limit and I'll look down and I'm going the speed limit! It feels like I am traveling a lot faster than I am. Then I started driving the F150 a couple weeks ago and felt I needed to speed up and I looked down and I was going 70 in a 60. Ack!! The difference between the two is amazing. I do like being up so high in the truck though. And that it's 4 wheel drive for winter. It's a tank in the snow and I've never gotten stuck. I love my truck.
Time for another blind bpal pick.
Tin Foil Hat
Guess what!? It's yellow! Yeah, whodathunkit?
In the vial: clean, citrusy man's cologne. Soapy, like decorative soaps in a grandmother's bathroom.
On the hand: It reminds me of a clear day with laundry blowing in the wind. This is the fabric softener in the sheets. Even though my first initial thought was a man's cologne I think this is now rather feminine. Actually it's both. What a conundrum! It's strong at first. Almost too strong but I feel it's going to get really frilly and clean and girly in a couple hours. If so I think I love this. We'll see.
What's in this? Crap! No scent description. Let's see what others say:
http://www.bpal.org/topic/66897-tin-foil-hat/
Some excerpts: wet: this smells a bit like a light, sweet aquatic over a bright metallic. not jarring or sharp at all, very clean and tame. No, really, I smell like ozone. Straight metallic scents, with nothing else to ground them, usually just turn to to tart, fresh soapiness for me. There's really nothing wrong with that, and it's actually rather pretty-- bright, dewy, with a silken, mirror-like texture. It vaguely reminds me of an men's aquatic citrus cologne, like "Cool Water" with citrus. (ME: YES!!) Hello men's cologne. How you've been?This is masculine to say the least. Its nice enough for a guy, but this thing is strong so wear at your own risk. What a weird combination! I'm guessing lime and lavender, with something VERY ozone/aquatic that's creating the metallic edge. This is kinda irritating my nose - not in a sneezy way, just in an irritating way - it's not a smell I'm enjoying.Very clean and fresh, maybe even slightly fizzy, but for me.. it smells like walking through the men's perfume area at the department store. You know how that smells.. the mix of all those Calvin Klein and Hugo Boss and Armani type colognes.
Seems like I get what they get. I like this. For myself. Will see how it smells when I wake up in the morning.

Good Judy Pickled Punk and Mint Patch!
Time for a review of another etailer besides BPAL. So I grabbed my ammo case with other etailers and perused thru them and grabbed this one because of the name. I have in this box BPTP (Black Phoenix Trading Post), Good Judy, Conjure Oils, Nocturne Alchemy, Alkemia Perfumes, Lou Lou's, ZOMG, The Poisoned Apple Apothecary, Arcana, Blooddrop, Lux Vixen, Violette Market, blah blah blah.....to lazy to continue the names..........
Click here to see a pic of the ammo box and a full listing
Pickled Punk
Adorable name!! Yellow in color, would I have expected anything different? Hell no!!
Fruity in the vial. Lemony. Pretty difficult to even smell it so I have to put some on my hand immediately. The first initial impression I have is Yuck. LOL There's something in this I don't like. Something weird smelling and it's hard to put a word to it. The top note is a bright and fruity but the base is that weird smell. This has an oddly candyish tickle. Not sure I like this though. Even as it dries it's not getting much better. Like spoiled candy. meh
I actually found a scent description: When two become one, what once was is now forever...only never to be. Ghastly to some. Fascinating to others. A medical marvel to all. This bicephalic form floats, peaceful, in a man-made womb with a view...perfectly preserved for your curiosity and pleasure.
Tangerine, pink pepper, talc
I think it's the talc that's making this nauseous to me, because I like tangerine and pink pepper in oils. I won't be keeping this. Blech.
Well since that was a bust --gonna do another one....Should I give Good Judy a chance to redeem herself? of course!!
How about Mint Patch!?
I'm wringing my hands with this one because I KNOW I WILL LOVE IT!!!!! hehe
Dark in color. YES!!! It's a good sign!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO! That's some mint!! And a mint I haven't smelled yet in an oil. A different flavor of mint for sure. Spearmint, it's gotta be! Wrigley's Doublemint Gum in the green wrapper. And that's all I am getting from the vial.
On the hand: WOW! this cleans out the nose. Stuffed up? Gotta cold? No more! Yeeeeowwwsaaa!!
Crazy ass mint even as it's drying. I'd expected the patch to come out. Nope. Nada. Denied. I am lovin me some Mint Patch! I'm freaking going to have to wear this to work and freak people out. I am getting the barest glimpse of my buddy patch in this. Hopefully as it dries the mint will subside and patch will bloom.
10 minutes: Patch is here! Still faint but he's coming!!!
Oh! Here's the scent desc: In the wild, unadulterated lands of the free, grows the mint patchouli tree. Earthy, cool, and refreshing. Patchouli, spearmint, peppermint and pennyroyal.
I got it right! I got it right! Doublemint!! Hahaha.
OMG when I go from smelling Mint Patch to smelling Pickled Punk...I kinda like Pickled Punk now! That odd smell is gone now after 25 minutes. Or my nose is broke from the mint it's been inhaling. LOL
Patch is peeking around the corner!! He's 10% here!!
1 1/2 hours later: Patch is here!!! No more mint, just incredible edible patchouli!!!!
