Oops I did it again...

Hi.

My name is Grace and I have a problem.

I'm a binge shopper.

I have a compulsive shopping disorder. It's not your run of the mill shopping addiction, I get my highs on 2nd hand stores, vintage shops and half off sales. Since I've lost a little bit of weight and because I was feeling the urge I treated myself to under two hundred dollars worth of clothes, shoes and bling bling.

And because I'm so vain I decided to post pictures of my awesome finds. Please ignore my messy bathroom and my even messier hair OH AND ignore (or admire) the fact that I'm wearing my super awesome sunglasses in the house. I'm saving you from seeing my "not enough sleep" look.

Monday: My Photography

Sunday: Things I hate

I hate the following:

#1 - Peeing and then noticing there is a bug or spider in the toilet. You know what I'm thinking when I see that..... What if? What if it came from me!!?!?!? Gasp!!! I can't even think about it.

#2 - Seeing people walking around with those super sized big gulps for soda. Who needs that much pop? Seriously? It's just wrong

#3 - Parents who don't watch their kids. I'm totally fine with screaming at stranger kids, but I shouldn't have to.

#4 - Those little hairs that grow on the base of my feet. I HATE them.

#5 - Personal fans. They are totally retarded.

I want to try something new...

Since I love consistency and I love blogging, I figured I'd do a short blog a day based on what week day it is.

This is in addition to my other ones, it's just something I want to try out.

Here is the outline I'd like to accomplish. Of course it's subject to change.

Friday - "Caption This"
Saturday - Easy Fun Recipes
Sunday - Things I Hate
Monday - My photography
Tuesday - Read it, watch it, hear it
Weds - Things I'm really into right now
Thurs - Tales from customer service

Best snack EVER!!!!

These are to die for!!!!

Bacon Wrapped Lil' Smokies in Brown Sugar:

Lil Smokies

Bacon

Brown Sugar

Wrap the lil' smokies with bacon. I cut my bacon strips into three sections. Secure with a toothpick. Sprinkle them GENEROUSLY with brown sugar. Place them in a single layer in a glass baking dish and let them sit for a while. I like to refrigerate them overnight.

Bake at 375 for 45 minutes, unless your oven runs hot then do 350.

Just like my favorite Fine Young Cannibals album, here is a picture of the raw and the cooked:

Caption This!

A fabulous prize will be awarded to the person who creates

the best caption for this photo....

Last weeks winner was the Amazing Lore! Congratulations!

I've done all the hard work for you

Most people know I have a serious Stumble addiction (www.stumbleupon.com) ...

Since I enjoyed these so much I figured might as well share some of my "finds" with you all.

Enjoy!
