Guess what's returning

Your favorite blog is back. I'll be back to posting as soon as we return from here: And I promise I won't post any more surveys/questionaires about me. Is that the only thing I ever blogged about?

Finally Made These, And Loved Them

Recipe from my favorite: www.annieseats.wordpress.com.

There's nothing like a Sonic Cherry Limeade...

But these yummy cupcakes come close! I got this recipe from a site I found called Annie's Eats. I was really excited to make them. These are Annies: And these are mine!
Well, mine aren't as professional looking but I bet they tasted better:). So how did I solve my dilema of wanting to eat all of them? I took the whole batch (minus the 2 that snuck into my mouth) to Carrabbas for Jesse and his pals. I dropped them off and text him as soon as I got home and he said they were gone in 5 seconds. I told you they were good! Be sure to check out the recipe HeRe. This girl's website rocks and I want to make everything she makes.

I wanted to die

When I saw these. They are so so so cute! I'm planning on making them... maybe this weekend. We'll see. The problem is there is when I make things, there is way too much for just Jesse and myself. So I'm left with the dilemma. I have 2 choices- either gorge and eat all of them myself (regretting it later, but loving it when I'm shoving all the frosting and lemonade and strawberry goodness in my face) or take them to a neighbor... I bet you can guess which one I usually chose. And that is why I have a love/hate relationship with cooking and baking.

Hello Kitty

Believe it or not, there is a kitty out there cuter than ours. It's this one. I have always loved Hello Kitty.

MAC cosmetics has teamed up with Hello Kitty and it's the cutest line of make up ever. Just thought you should know.

MAC, you can thank me later for the free advertising.

No News is Good News

There hasn't been too much going on in our lives the past couple of weeks, but here's a few things I've been thinking about.

• I am completely, 100% ready for spring. I'm sick of wearing longsleeve shirts under short sleeved shirts under long sleeve shirts. No more layering! I love that Utah has 4 distinct seasons, I just wish this particular season didn't last so long.
• Will I ever finish Harry Potter? I don't know. Instead of reading I just play Mario on my DS- I'm a gameboy junkie.
• Our kitten is so cute still- what's not cute is the scratches he has put all over my hands and feet. He's obsessed with fingers and toes so he's just playing with them, but his little claws leave their marks. I feel bad getting him declawed because there is so much he does with his claws- I would feel like we had cut off his fingers.
• My sister has talked me into a marathon in June. I thought I would do one last year, but that didn't happen. We'll see how my training goes this time around.
• I started Piano Lessons last week from Jesse's G-ma! I took them when I was a tot for 5 years, didn't practice ever and so I have nothing to show for it. This time will def be different.
• Fresca is my drink of choice now. Someday I'll be off soda completely, but atleast this doesn't have caffeine in it!
• Jesse won free filet dinners from Carrabbas, so last Saturday after our cute little cousin's b-day party, we claimed our prize. It was for sure THE best steak I have had in my entire life. So so so tender. It was perfect. Need a good steak? Get the filet marsala at Carrabbas, it was seriously amazing. I've been thinking about it ever since.

See's

I should have thrown away that box of See's chocolates sitting on our counter a week ago. Now I have eaten almost the whole thing by myself. Even though I don't even like any of them. They are all crazy flavors inside like raspberry creme, but I never know the flava flave until i bite in and then I have no choice but to finish it off, along with 4 more gross chocolates.

Leanderings Meanderings

• I like the snow just fine, but if it snows another half inch, I swear I won't be able to drive anywhere. My car was about stuck three times on the lane to my job today. I think I need to hook one of those scrapers to the front bumper of my car, and I'll just clear my own way where ever I go.
• I forgot how much I love string cheese until I ate 5 last night. The best brand is the Chuck-e-Cheese ones. I'm serious, you've never seen peeling action like this before.
• We have DVR now!!! It's been the best 2 days of our lives. Basically it has been Jon and Kate Marathon and I have never been happier. I can't wait to record LOST and watch it over and over and make my own theories for what's going to happen next.
• I want to learn how to snowboard. I think I would enjoy the winter a lot more if I had some sort of activity. Well, I do modge podge a lot in the winter... so I guess that's a good activity.
• I think I'm going to start taking Piano lessons from Jesse's g-ma. I just need to call and set it up because I seriously regret wasting my 5 years with Mary Hanberg and having nothing to show from all those lessons.
• Jesse started school today and guess who didn't.... wwwwaaaahaaahaaa.
• Reeses Puff Cereal is for sure the best thing ever invented. So yummy and part of a balance breakfast. Okay, not so balanced when you're eating 6 bowls in one sitting but it's so hard to stop.
• Still haven't found that camera.
• We got some free ticks to the Jazz game on Monday night, but alas the snow once again ruined my life. No way were we going to drive up to SL in that mess, but I was really sad. I love the Jazz.

New Addiction

If you own a Wii and need a new game, this is THE one to get. The other night Jesse and I decided since we have been so good this year that we could each open one present early. And this is the one I MADE him open. I knew he'd love it, what I didn't know was that I would love it so so so much. We opened it on Thursday and have been up past 1 a.m. everday since then. Getting up for work this morning was rough, but I think it was worth it because I am starting to beat Jesse more and more. My arm is so sore from all that pitching and batting, so it's a work out too. Anyway, really if you are looking for a new game.... get this baby!

HAPPY NATIONAL CUPCAKE DAY!!!

Things on my mind as of late...

• I'm thinking about deleting this blog... I don't have enough things to fill it with so that it can continually please my fans. Thoughts?
• What are in my presents under the tree? I love surprises so so so much. But really can I just open them right now? It's so hard for me to wait.
• Last night Jesse and I were going to go to Temple square because we both had the night off, then we opted to stay at home instead. At first I was wondering why we're so boring? Then I realized we are never home together and it's so nice to just be home and relax together and watch re-runs. It's such a fun activity.
• Why are people still talking about the election? Please stop. It won't change.
• Why can't i just make up my own mind of what I will do after graduation? I just want someone to tell me what to do, but then when people tell me what to do I just want them to stop... how will this vicious cycle end?
• I miss Deedra living closer.
• Why won't my parents just move to Orem?
• I love Amazon.com. My package just came, and it was on time, and I could track it the whole time it was in shipping. I love it when you can see exactly where your package is at.
• Who will send me on What Not to Wear? I could buy so many awesome clothes with $5,000. Somebody out there, let's make a pact, I'll nominate you and you nominate me. And we won't be offended that we got nominated and our friends think we have ugly clothes.
• Last night, Jesse and I had our own What Not to Wear, kind of. He made me go through my clothes and it was just like on the show when the girl is crying for Clinton and Staci to not throw the things away! Those clothes have sentimental meanings, no ,no, no! But alas, I gave in and have a laundry basket full of clothes for my lucky nieces and sisters and anyone else who wants to dive in.
• Should I just give in and drink Diet Mt. Dew everyday? Jessica, your thoughts? Wait, I think i'll know your thoughts. Also, I think I deserve the treat.
• Why can I not wake up in the mornings anymore. And that also means I haven't worked out since my last post that says I LOVE exercising. ha ha well not that long ago, but it's almost been that long since I last worked out.

Tag-a-ma-lag.

1. Jesse
2. Oh, I was just doing my thing working at Buckle and he couldn't take my eyes off me. He wouldn't even leave the store! Oh wait- that's because he worked there too. We didn't date or really even talk when we both worked there, but after I stopped working there he asked me on a date.
3. Well, not very long. Our first date was in April, and we dated throughout the summer, but didn't really get serious until the end of the summer. Then we were engaged in December. So, usually we'll say we dated for 7 months. I don't even know.
4. We were engaged for 4 months.
5. We have been married for almost 7 months and we have hated every moment of it. Just kidding. It's been really good.

You might have already done this, so don't worry about it if you have, but I love hearing other people's stories because even if I've heard them before, I always forget.

Nothing says Thanksgiving like cupcakes

I wish everyday that there was a Sprinkles Cupcakes Store in Utah. But until then, I'll just look at their website and be mad that I can't get this little turkey cupcake in pumpkin flavor.

And, when will someone teach me how to frost my cupcakes as smooth as these ones?

Hopelessly Devoted to You

These are 5-10 things (not people or places) you require everyday in your life. If you have to go without it your day just isn't as good. It might break my heart if I don't have these, I might even cry. So here we go!

1. Chi Flat Iron- I wasn't blessed with Straight, soft, shiny, or very managable hair. So thank you so much Flat Iron Inventor. You really have saved my life!

2. Bio Silk Silk Therapy- Like I said, shiny hair for me? No. Just a little bit from this bottle helps so much and it lasts forever!

3. Gum- It doesn't really matter the flavor or the kind but my favorites are Orbit, Five, and your good old Extra gum. I like it minty, fruity, or spicy. Whatever the flavor, my day just can't go on without gum. Oh and I LOVE those big balls of bubblegum. I'll get them whenever we go to the mall.

4. MAC Make Up- I'm not a crazy, I won't go anywhere without make-up on person... But when I'm getting ready for the day, I'll always put make-up on. It's just how I roll. And now that I've tried MAC, I just can't go back!

5. Toast with spray butter- Jesse will be the first person to tell you that if we are out of bread, it's because I ate the whole loaf. I don't know why I love it so much but I do. Right now I only like the Prarie Grain brand- it just makes the best toast. And with zero cals in the spray butter, you can't go wrong.

6. Gold's gym- Well, I'm not hopelessly devoted per say, but I try to go everyday and the days that I don't make it, I feel like a blob. So it's just better if I go and keep myself happy.

7. My Computer- My blogging/facebook addiction would have never developed to it's full potential if it wasn't for my beloved computer.

TAG- If you read this, you're it! Tell us your favorite things that you can not live without!

I will love you oh so much if you will take 5 minutes and do this survey for me. I get extra credit in my strategic management class and I need atleast 10 people to do it for me. So PALEEZE! It really will only take 5-10 minutes. It's about Blogging, which I know you all love!

6th Picture Tag

I was tagged by Chelsy, and I've seen this on other people's blogs and wondered what my picture would be. So anyway here it is-

Go to your 6th folder and post the 6th picture in that folder. Explain the picture that is posted.

This is my niece Kamrie and nephew Tayson. I can't really remember much about this picture, I think we were all just hanging out at Merri's and this awesome photo happened. Wish I had a better story...

I tag EVERYONE who took the time to read this. Just do it, it's a good surprise to see what the picture is.

Just F.Y.I.

I'm one of those people that gets scared to take tests. It's just nerve racking for me and I don't really know why. I can study until I know it by heart, but I still get so nervous when I walk into the testing center. I have a test tonight and I've been studying a little but I needed a break for blogging to calm my nerves:)

What would I have to talk about if there were no tags?

I've Been Tagged.....

A) The rules are posted at the beginning.

B) Each person answers questions about their sweethearts.

C) At the end of the post, the person then tags people and posts their names; then goes to their blog and leaves them a comment, letting them know they have been tagged.

1.What is your husbands name? Jesse Ellis Call

2.How long have you guys been married? 6 months, next week. Can you believe it's been that long? I know 6 months is nothing, but it just seems like our wedding was a week ago.

.

3.How long did you date? Like 8 and engaged for 3 1/2 months. It's hard to say how long we really dated because we were off and on for the first, and then a little in the middle and who even knows. We're married now and that's what matters.

.

4.How old is he? The big 23! So proud of my hubby for turning 23.

.

5.Who is taller? He is, but guess who will never be able to wear heels again in her life? Me. Because if I do, I tower over him like the jolly green giant.

.

6.Who can sing best? Jesse for sure. He was in his high school choir, mind you.

.

7.Who is smarter? Depends on the subject. Football, science, random facts, remembering things from movies: Jesse. Math, Jon and Kate plus 8, crafts, what treats are best: Leandra

.

8.Who does laundry? Usually me, Except the last few weeks Jesse has been really really good about doing the laundry. AND we're also conducting an experiment to figure out why our towels always smell like mold...like 2 days after we wash them. We make sure they are completely dry... any help?

.

9.Who pays the bills? Me.

.

10.Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? If you are laying in it then there is Jesse on the right side hogging all the blankets.

.

11.Who mows the lawn? Jesse, but seriously it looks like a professional has done it when he is done.

.

12.Who cooks dinner? uh, neither! jk. We take turns pretty evenly. But honestly, it's hard for either of us to make dinner because on weeknights we're getting home at the lovely hour of 9 p.m. Mostly Wendy's cooks us dinner, or we eat rice chex.

.

13.Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? I think me. I just feel bad and even if I'm not wrong I'll say I am because I hate fighting. But Jesse is really good to say if he is wrong. We've been lucky so far because neither of us have been too stuborn to get over it. Maybe that's because we're still newlyweds and soon we'll learn how to use the silent treatment better:).jk.

.

14.Who kissed who first? Jesse, Jesse bo besse kissed me first.

.

15.Who wears the pants? I think we split it pretty good.
