Since I posted one recipe, I'll post another. The Lorenzo copyrighted to Christina King This drink is sooooo good. Ingredients! 1 Cup you're gonna enjoy the drink out of 1 Bottle of Sprite (or club soda if you prefer though the sprite adds the right sweetness) 1 oz of Vanilla syrup (found in supermarket in the coffee or tea aisle) 2-3 oz of Blackberry syrup (or blackberry puree) Ice (if desired) Directions 1. Add syrups to cup 2. Pour in some sprite, stir 3. Pour rest of sprite 4. Add ice if desired 5. ENJOY!!! REALLY simple!! But delicious! This drink was inspired by Larry's (my friend) taste. Unfortunately no where in New Jersey makes it for him. I say if you can make it in New Jersey give me a holla, and I'll tell him. Ingredients from Amazon:    

Thats right, I was sooooo craving a caramel apple turtle that i created one into a drink, ok here's your recipe. (you can find syrups in places like a world market, or hopefully down the coffee and tea aisle of a respectable supermarket. if no apple flavor syrup available replace with apple cider) For Chocolate I was using Ghirardelli sauce. Caramel Apple Turtle  copyrighted to Christina King (I feel funny using the turtle word though) Ingredients 1 Pot 2 Cups of any size.

YEP! instead me and my father are going car shopping. So in hopes of taming the masses (the whole 2 of you) I give you pics of my new wig ^^ I have to admit, I feel a little Jack White'ish in this.

Have you ever played dress up as a kid? I tried to use my mom's lipstick and be The Joker. But I always did it in the middle of dinner. I'd excuse myself, use the restroom, then dive bomb my mom's lipstick. Also when Evita came out, I'd pretend I was her. Mom's lipstick and all, and try to sing 'Don't cry for me Argentina.' needless to say it was ALWAYS a total disaster. (secretly, I thought I nailed it...I still do) SO! in light of hearing I might be attending an Art Walk with my boyfriend and her mother this Saturday, I ran to my room to figure out a nice outfit for a slightly chilly day. Well is suppose to be anyway. So I present you with this! (Please excuse no makeup or even a hairdo for that matter) I must say i LOVE LOVE LOVE long haori's. now to copy the pattern, get plain fabric and paint on books
