I WON, I WON, I WON… Well, It’s LIKE I WON…

I WON, I WON, I WON… Well, It’s LIKE I WON…

Hey there friends! Recently I was invited by CSN stores to do a promotional review on my blog of some of their products. Well, being an adventurous kind of girl and knowing my love of the EASE of online shopping and comfort of doing it from home in my crazy snowman pajamas, of course I accepted the offer!  I feel like I’ve won some major contest… HOLEE MOLEEE… have you visited CSN stores lately?  It’s like having the Mall of…

You Said Twinchie, But Did You Mean Twinkie?

{ACK! THis was suppposed to have posted while I was away at C.U…. I opened up Live Writer this morning and there it was still in my drafts. Ooops!  Anyway..

Next week we hope to do a fun/fancy dinner. I am mostly ready for CU.. most of my goodies are packed and I am tying up…

Paninis – PuertoCuban style! (or Almosta Cubans)… An International Culinary Adventure… or something…

So I may be buried under piles of paper and jewelry supplies but occasionally I pull myself out of the mess and make dinner for the Brent-man and myself.
