Who needs Starbucks anyway?!

Well, OK, I do; BUT I have been making these fabulous Lattes and Iced-Lattes that I got from Hungry Girl. If you don't know about her website, go check it out. She does a daily e-mail-it is AWESOME!

This is my morning wake- me up

Hungry Girl's Mintylicious Hot Chocolate Surprise
Mix up a packet of your favorite 25-calorie sugar free, fat free hot chocolate (Nestle, Swiss Miss, etc.), then add a shot of Sugar Free Torani Peppermint syrup, a squirt of Fat Free Reddi-Wip. Sometimes I use Vanilla syrup instead. So yummy and cheap!


This is my afternoon pick-me up.

Bad Cat!

Nic surprised me with a gorgeous rose bouquet for Valentines Day.






They were looking so nice for a few days. Then I started noticing little bits and pieces of petals on the table. Yesterday I walked into the house to find this:


"I'm just smelling the roses mom"



Let me tell you that Yoda is a very sneaky kitty-he will be sitting on the table (Yes, he gets on my table) and just "hang-out" whenever I have flowers. Usually he never tries anything daring unless he knows he won't get caught. But for whatever reason(I think he was possessed yesterday) he just had to have the flowers!

"Oh, these actually taste pretty good!"



Don't mind if I do.......



"Alrightalright you caught me, I'm done anyways"







Now my beautiful roses have kitty chunks missing from them.
