"Hello Cribs, this is where the magic doesn't happen!"

OK I know I promised a blog like a week ago, but I haven't been my upbeat self.  I have been really depressed because I hate where we live.  I have already had my melodramatic moment on Facebook about that (smh), cried some...OK alot, and went on a search.  The search is for a trailer or double-wide to move back behind my in-laws house.  The search has been derailed due to snow....CURSES THE WHITE STUFF....but we have looked online to see our options.  Some of these places are ridiculous!  By that I mean, when I think of a modular home I just think of a cozy modern place to call home.  Talk about modern, you can live like a celebrity in some of the ones we saw!  The one Steven is in love with has a theater.  That's right a THEATER!  Complete with recliners that have cup holders and a snack area.  I always assumed if I had a home theater, then I was 1 step away from starring on MTV Cribs but this is 2011.  I can have a factory fresh one delivered with a 3 bedroom house attached, for a fraction of the price celebs pay!  The one I am in love with has an outdoor kitchen.  Picture a deck with a built in mini fridge and grill, plus plenty of counter space.  This place is awesome!  We saw all kinds of things from wet bars, to hidden retreats, and even a mini sports bar! 





 I know I got you all excited, but don't plan any parties at my house yet.  Though they are not as expensive as I would have thought, I do work retail asset protection.  I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for a garden tub and walk in closet and will be happy.  The goal is just to be in a relaxing place where we feel safe, and can start a family.

I've been known to be a positive Polly, and can't stand to be in this funk.  In order to get out of it, I have thrown myself into my hobbies:

1. Jewelry Making- I have 2 more classes scheduled with Kelly.  A charm workshop, and basic bracelet class.  Plus she is making a bracelet for me that I hope to eventually learn

2. Cooking- I am more a baker and our oven is DOA.  To soothe my nerves I have been scouring the net and bookstores for recipes.  I also bought my first recipe book to organize them all.  Normally I have about a million little pieces of paper with recipes on them.  I can never find them when I am ready to try.

3. Annoying the Hubby- I almost have this one down to an art form!  My favorite prank to date: I took several little plastic cups, the kind you use for the bathroom, and waited until he took a bath.  After he was good and relaxed, I went into the bathroom and flung the cups in the tub.  He was so confused that he got out of the tub a few minutes later (sure you're loving these mental images) and asked why I did it.  LOL sorry I know this is pointless, and it really was.  I had no reason, the cups were available and I couldn't think of anything else.  But the confused look on his face was priceless!  I couldn't very well tell him the reason was simply to make me happy!!



"Maybe I'll get some snow cream!"



Well enjoy the snow and if you are bored check out http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/  it's good clean laughs that foodies will love.  <3

"Yes, I chew whipped cream...."

So I have been thinking a lot about addictions.  Not the completely serious sort like drugs etc.  More of the addictions that seem completely unique to me.  I tried the red velvet blast from Sonics (good by the way) and started right in on the topping.  I realized Steven was staring at me, and instantly knew why.  "Yes, I chew whipped cream...." I said all defensively.  *smiles*  I am addicted to chewing things!  That includes the normal pen caps, and bottom lip.  It gets a little odd because I also chew ice cream, soup broth, my tongue, necklaces, it goes on and on.  Maybe this is why I am chunky....*writes that down to chew on later* 

One good addiction I have noticed, is wire ring making.  I love to craft and create.  I take requests so send me a ring size and color scheme.  No charge, I create these daily and only have the standard 10 fingers.  Actually 9 because the one finger is always occupied. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!  2011 is going to be fabulous.  I won't have it any other way.  Great time with the friends last night.  My bestie even discovered a new addiction of mine, covering up my double chin in pictures!! HAHAHA

That includes taking half face shots HEHE

Mama! Kiki got hold of the Blogger!!

     So they don't do background check for these blogs huh....SWEET!  So I guess the question is why start this?  Well it's Cleatus' fault.  Yes the hubby so blame him.  Steven (Cleatus) has been in the bathtub for 2 hours now.  YES 2 HOURS!  I know he is alive because I hear the snore and occasional bubbles rising.  Left alone for too long I get these ideas in my head, add some sparkles, a couple of bats and HAZZAH a blog is born!   So was a pic of Cleatus' face superimposed on horrible sweater guy!

     This first post is rather generic, but in the future expect whatever is in my head at the moment.  You might know me, so you know that's a wide range of random.  I use cute words, I invent my own points of punctuation, I use way to many (!!!!!), but that's just me.  I make no apologies for this, as I learned long ago "Me" is pretty awesome!  Not conceited, just living life as Kiki a pinch at a time <3

     By the way Late Merry Christmas and lets do this New Year up right!!!
