We'll call it: "A Leave of Absence"

Oh man.

This "blogging venture" of mine has been QUITE the failure so far.

You know you haven't blogged in forever and a day when your last post explained the "new job" I "just got", when your following post talks about your "NEW new job" that I actually...just got.

That's right folks, Melissa got a Big Girl Job! FINALLY. #praisejesus. I never thought I would see the day, but it finally happened people. It happened so randomly, and fast! Every so often, I get in these "job search kicks" and spend hours looking through the emails I get from all of those "I need a big kid job" sites. During these sporadic job hunts, I find a few that I could see myself doing, even if it is a little stretched as far as what I received my degree in. So I did just that, and whata ya know?! I found a job! Someone actually wanted to hire ME?! Cray. I know.

Also, I apologize for the excessive use of quotations in this post...already. Warning: there will probably be more.

So yes, that is my most recent, exciting news! However, since it literally has been about 6 months since my last post, let us go over what has occurred over that long ass period of time...shall we?:

Lets start at the month I left off on....
Wowie.
That would be March:

Okay. So March brought on my new position at my "not so big girl job", I told you all about this in my last post. And for the record, I still have said job, I just work that on the weekends now. I will probably end up working an evening once a week as well...Okay, I'm already getting side tracked. But yeah, that's pretty much it for March...started that job....the end.

Oh and St. Patricks Day, one of my favorite holidays! I got my drink on, like everyone else does on the day of the parade (the 16th), then on actual St. Patricks day, I ventured with Kelan and Becca to the Outlets and Niagra Falls for the day!
I tend to get festive on favorite holidays.....

Great day.
I love living near one of the 7 wonders of the world...
April:

(side note: once again I am referencing pictures and Facebook to remind me about my life, so that I can tell you all about it....."all" aka the 2 people who actually read this.)

AH APRIL, OKAY: I need to stop with the side notes.

April was actually pretty un eventful....according to Facebook.. so we'll skip this month.

May:

The best month out of the whole year! Aka, my birthday month, as well as everyone else's birthday month! This included 2 of my roommates and a good friend of mine! So this meant we were celebrating our birthdays every weekend out of the month! While my birthday ended up being a very fun time, I must say celebrating Kelan's birthday was the highlight out of all of the celebrations. This is because my friend Caitlin and myself came up with the best birthday scavenger hunt ever! We had Kelan and our friend Emily competing against one another on their birthday weekend, having them complete the most ridiculous tasks while we were out on the town. I highly recommend participating in a scavenger hunt for your next major celebration!

May was also a pivotal moment in my life...My dog fever ended up taking over, and I caved. I used my birthday as justification that I wasn't insane for getting a puppy when I only had a part time job, student loans, and other bills to pay...... But hey, I made it work, and put all of my savings towards:

This Guy.
I would like to formally introduce you all to Buster Rhymes. I rescued him from a rescue organization that retrieved him, his siblings and [biological] mother from a high kill shelter. The minute I saw that face online, I was in love, and had to get him. He came with the name Buster, so naturally I made Rhymes his middle name.

The picture above is from the second day I had him (4 months), so let me show you all what he's looking like at 8 months:
Big Ears McGee
Also: I have no clue what mix of breeds he is, but my closest guess has to be Pug-Shepard mix. 

I will do a more in depth Buster post some other time, seeing is that I am still in the process of catching this blog up on the past several months. (For the record, Buster is the main reason I haven't had time to blog.)

Another crazy happening that occurred in may was this:

My apologies....
Yes, that would be a key...lodged into my hand. I did this in the most ridiculous way: by slipping down my wet porch steps, holding my keys, on my way to work. Couldn't do it again if I tried. So yeah, that was a fun time.........


June:

June had a pretty sad beginning to it. My family doggies got put down right in the beginning of the month. This was one of the hardest situations I have had to encounter in a long time. I had gotten to know these pups for the past 14 years, so it was definitely a rough time. But it was really for the best,  I know, everyone says that, but it's true. My dogs, Buddy and Dooley had no more quality of life any more, and it got to the point where we knew they needed to move on to a better place, together. I still miss them terribly. It has been the hardest on my mom though, she treated those boys like they were her children.

My boys. <3


Sorry for the damper on this post all of the sudden...that is just a major part of these past few months that can't be ignored or overlooked.

July:

Nothing exciting....

August:
Started off with a bunch of birthdays, including my mothers, and best friend's son, Harrison's 1st birthday! It was crazy to realize a year had flown by so quickly!

At a year he is finally starting to like Aunt Melissa! YAY!
August is also when I got the new big girl job that I mentioned earlier! And my first few days on the job was spent in New York City!!  Where I got to witness this:

Batman Forever.
And this:



So that was a pretty stellar way to kick off the new gig! 

And then we come to September, aka month in progress:

This month has had me basically getting in the new routine of juggling a full time job, part time job, dog, and social life (< to keep me sane). However, what I am dreading about this month is now less than a week away. I happen to be getting my tonsils out on the 18th...and I am absolutely terrified. I've had surgeries before, and have never really had a problem with them..because it didn't involve anything having to be done near or via my face. I keep having small realizations about things I won't be able to do after my surgery that keep adding to my terror...my main fear being that I will mainly be on a liquid/soft diet...meaning I can't eat what I want to for 2-3 weeks! And lets get one thing straight people, I love my food. Today I specifically had this realization: I won't be able to consume any food after midnight the night before my surgery...Yes, I have been through this before, and it sucks. I find myself absolutely starving going into surgery, but something that had always eased my mind in the past, had been the comforting thought that I'd get to binge eat my food of choice directly after my surgery, and all would be good! But the realization I had today: I am having TONSIL surgery....so I am going to be starving going into surgery, and coming out of surgery, I won't want anything near my throat....so I'm declaring my involuntary-anorexia now people. 

Can you tell I am not looking forward to this?

The one good thing about my surgery is that I'll hopefully be able to blog more...yet no one will want to read it because I will just be a whiney baby the whole time.

So I will end this ridiculously obnoxious long post...in hopes that I never take a "leave of absence" this long ever again. 

Until next time.

Proud Meowments

So I find myself in the mood to blog right now. Yet, I don't have much to write about.

However, I did leave one thing out of my last post that is a pretty major update with me. Like I have mentioned before, I work in a coffee shop with in a grocery store, which happens to be Wegmans Food Markets (aka the god of all grocery stores). I have worked there for the past 8 years, making my way around the store from cashiering, to working in the Deli, then Prepared foods, then the Coffee Shop. And most recently, I decided I would like to keep moving up with in Wegmans, because it really is such a great company to work for (in fact, it has been a Fortune 500 company for the past 16 years as of 2013). But with the job market being so dumb lately, I figured, why not shoot for Corporate Wegmans? So this became my goal as of a few months ago, and I started looking for opportunities to grow with in the company, and sort of start the stepping stones towards my ultimate goal.

Luckily, a few weeks ago, a posting went up for a Front End Coordinator position at my store. This basically puts you a step below the Service Team Leaders (aka managers), and a step above cashiers. You help coordinate the cashiers to what ever registers they have to go to, you send them on breaks, and you help them out when ever they need assistance with a customer or their register. I had been hoping for an opening in this position to come up, so when it did, I was ON it. I applied right away, and through out that same week, I had the store manager, assistant store manager, front end manager, and HR Director all approach me making sure I had applied for the position because "my name was being thrown around" for the job. Following that week, I had the chance to interview for the position, and two days later (Valentines Day), I found out I got the job!

Now, I don't have many moments where I am genuinely proud of myself, but this was definitely one of those moments where I really commended my efforts to land this position, and I did not hide my excitement about it.

I haven't started yet, but Tuesday, March 5th, is my first day! I am a little nervous, since everyone is saying "I've got this"... It's putting some pressure on me to make sure, well, that I really do "got this". Hopefully all goes well, and I can continue on to become a Service Team Leader next!

So that's my mini update, I thought I'd keep you all in the loop.  So wish me luck!

PS. Sorry for the lack of pictures...I've been cat sitting for the past week, so I guess I can show you how that's going:
Meow.
This cat likes to just look longingly into my eyes...

a little nuzzle action after feeding him some tuna.
Oh yes, that's the spot.

 I wish I could include some of my snap chat videos that I took with this guy, because he was just running across my lap, back and forth, whacking his tail in my face every time. Such a ridiculous cat, but he's great.

Also, if you haven't figured out by the title, I enjoy cat puns.

That's all for *meow.

Procrastination at its best.

I suck.

It has been weeks since my last post, and really, I don't have much of an excuse for my hiatus. The last I posted was right before the Super Bowl, and I even had the intentions of writing a post-super bowl post! So I guess I can start there and try to fill you all in on my life these past few weeks.

Luckily I am addicted to documenting basically everything I do on a daily basis via instagram, so let's reference my pictures to help jog my memory, shall we?

Oy, there's a lot to put in this post I am realizing, lets see if I can finish this before work at 2:30....eek.

Starting with Superbowl weekend:

Saturday I made a long overdue trek to the land of Oz. Aka my alma mater, Oswego. Through a series of many failed attempts to hang out with my girl Lindsey, I made sure my ass made it to that small college town to pay her a visit. Lindsey is one of my past roommates and besties from my college days, and she also lives with one of my other former roomies, Paige. So I got to spend an ultimate girls night out with those two and a few other girls. Linds and I made dinner together (I know, so romantic right?) and spent a great deal of time trying to figure out how to make a continuous chain of paper hearts for her valentines day card to her boyfriend.
many failed attempts. #valentinesdayprobz

SUCCESS. And yes, we googled tutorials...
We had so much fun at the bars, and I ran into a lot of old friends. One of the highlights of the night (and I wish I had a picture), was when I overflowed the toilet in one of the bars and had to book it out of there. Mind you, I only had to pee, and the thing was on the verge of overflowing anyways, I just didn't really realize that until I was pulling up my pants and reaching to flush. And I kid you not, this toilet WATERFALLED on the floor of the minuscule bathroom in a matter of 2 seconds and water came GUSHING out right along with me when I opened the door. I seriously felt like I was in a movie/worst nightmare.....At that point Lindsey was waiting at the door for me, ready for the next bar, and I grabbed her and yanked her outside with me in full on panic and embarrassment. Oops. Makes for a funny story though. But all and all, it was a successful visit to see my girl Lindsey :).
Top left: Lindsey and I, bottom left: Melissa squared,
and to the Right, Paige, myself and Lindsey.
Roomies for life ;)


And Kate N. if you're reading this, I am sorry I didn't get to see you! My next visit will be for you my dear! <3
On to Super Bowl Sunday:

I was invited to a party that my sister's friends, Tina and Drew were throwing. I was excited to get invited to this since most of my roommates had to work or had alternate Super Bowl plans. We all had to bring a dish to pass, so I decided to make my lovely little apple crescent rolls that I mentioned in one of my previous posts. Those were definitely a hit, and they even looked like mini footballs!....which I TOTALLY planned.........ahem. But oh my goodness, the food at this party. Let us take a moment to go over that, (because really, who cares about football on Super Bowl Sunday, I'm all about the commercials, food, and drinking).


Those "egg rolls" are actually, RUBEN ROLLS, with thousand island dipping sauce..yeah.

Why I love my sister so much:
She made these
French Toast mini cuppies, with maple syrup frosting and topped with BACON.
Brownie. Batter. Dip.
Like a never ending Dunkaroo!
And those are only a few of the delicious and addicting dishes available at this party. So once again, this is why I love the Super Bowl.

I actually was pretty proud of myself on SB Sunday, I watched the entire first half of the game in the living room with all of the boys and my sister, and one other girl. The rest of the women were in the kitchen...(where all the delicious food was, so really, who can blame them?). But I brought a nice full plate of nom nom's into the living room with me and sat my butt down and watched the game. So be proud all of you football watchers, be proud. 

Then came the half time show.... aka, the #1 thing I was looking forward to that entire day: Destiny's Child, Reunited.
Destiny's Child Pandora Radio...
a wonderful thing.
I wasn't lying when I said I was looking forward to
this ALL. DAY.

And oh my goodness, was I right to anticipate that half time show to be one of the best ones yet...BECAUSE IT WAS. Okay, deep breath Melissa. But really, I think everyone can agree with me when I say, Beyonce killed it. 14 minutes of straight singing and dancing... insanity. It was hilarious to realize that the entire room fell silent, with their mouths open, (a few droolers if I'm not mistaken...possibly myself being one of them..) by the end of those 14 minutes. So, those are my thoughts on the half time show. High five, Beyonce.

Onto the second half of the game...I was all ready to go, had my momentum up from the first half and that amazing half time show...AND the Ravens were in the lead, 49ers can suck it.

And then the black out happened.

This is bad for when Melissa is watching football, or any girl who is half interested in the sport, because the A.D.D and need for more food and drinks kick in while waiting for the darn lights to come back on in the "Super Dome". And once those lights did come back on, there was no hope anymore, I had joined the rest of the ladies in the kitchen, with the food, watching Jenna Marbles videos on YouTube via our iPhones:
The women's huddle.
But hey, all I cared about was the Raven's winning and the 49er's losing...Let's just say I had some personal satisfaction when the Niner's had to run home crying to their mommies. Simply because I knew a certain fan of theirs was doing exactly the same thing. :)

Lets see, what else has happened since I abandoned this blog temporarily....Let me refer to my pictures again....

Oh! Nemo. I hate snow, I hate storms. Therefore, I hated snow storm: Nemo. I feel like my main issue with snow is driving in it. Brushing pounds of snow off my car, while getting snow down my boots and soaking through my clothes, then the process of scraping ice off one half of your window for a good 10 minutes. And the actual driving part...streets not being plowed in the city...aka I think I am going to spin out and die every 3 seconds...people being idiots and not turning their lights on in white out conditions, again, I feel like I am going to die every 3 seconds.
my emotions after brushing off my car and before driving.
Stupid Nemo.
HOWEVER. If I didn't have to drive in the scary snow, I think I would really not mind the fluffy white stuff because the morning after Nemo was absolutely breath taking. It was the true definition of a "Winter Wonderland", and it genuinely made me smile. :)

My neighborhood the morning after Nemo.
more of my street:)

Me the night after nemo,
thoroughly enjoying walking in a winter wonderland!
Kelan, not so much.
I think that is all I will include in this post...I'll try to continue to catch you all up on what I haven't updated on in future posts! And I am making sure I don't go that long with out posting again!

Ps. this post took me 3 days to write....again, I suck.

Good food, good tunes.

Okay. So I guess I had you all waiting a while to hear about the results of my first crockpot experience...I know you were all chomping at the bit to hear how it went...right? Sure. So, for who ever cares, it went swimmingly. :)
Moment of truth, Crock Pot.


Like I said I made that Cheese Burger Joe recipe, which has the same idea as sloppy joe's but cheesier and yummier. I believe even if you are opposed to sloppy joes, you'd like this (Darcy).

Unfortunately this is the only pic I have of my creation..I took this "before" pic with intentions of taking and "after" pic, by the time we finally got the opportunity to eat this, it was gone way too quickly. There fore, I had no chance to grab the "after" shot.
 It was definitely a hit with the roomies! I made sure to make it on a night where I knew we'd all be home for dinner. We also had our friend Ashley join us! The more the merrier! So there was a total of 5 of us (6 if you count Tom's garbage disposal appetite), most of us had seconds, and there were still some left over! So in other words, it makes a ton. In the end, I highly recommend this recipe to you all.
Becca, soon after eating, fell into a food coma.
Now, can I just get into what I made for dessert real quick? Because it's quite possibly the easiest yet tastiest "recipe" ever. I say recipe in quotations because it's not elaborate enough to even consider it a recipe. Here is what you do.

1. Buy a tube of pillsbury crescent roll dough. (I bought 2)
2. Buy 2 apples (I got 2 empires)
3. If you don't have cinnamon sugar...get that.
4. cut your apples into 8 slices each
5. sprinkle each triangle of dough with that cinn. sug.
6. roll 1 slice of apple up in a triangle-o-dough
7. sprinkle apple crescent roll with more cinnamon sugar
8. Repeat the last two steps until you have 16 apple crescents
9. Place on a cookie sheet with parchment paper on it (easier clean up..if you don't have it though, just grease the cookie sheet instead)
10. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes depending on your oven.

Steps 5-6
aren't they cute?
Topped with more cinnamon sugar and ready to go in the oven
Finished product- Nom.
So they are basically mini apple turn overs and they are delicious. All 16 of them were gone with in 5 minutes between the 5 of us. So, give them a go! And let me know what you think! I believe I will be making these again for Super Bowl Sunday. The food is the only thing that really motivates me to attend Super Bowl Parties really.... I am not big on football to be quite honest, but hey, Go Ravens! (That is for you, Alyssa). 



So living in a duplex apartment, we have our neighbors living below us. And can I just say we really got lucky with who those neighbors are. When we first moved in, the only thing we really knew about them was that there were 2 guys and a girl living there, and the guys had a band that practiced on the reg. down in the basement. We were a little nervous, wondering if that'd end up being a disturbance to our apartment, but we soon learned that wasn't going to be a problem. I say this not because we couldn't hear the band playing from the basement, because we could, clear as day, through our vents..but I say this because they play awesome music!! I tell everyone who comes to visit our apartment that its like having iTunes play through our vents. 

(Left to Right) Vadim, Ruben and Aleks rehearsing in the basement (they played us a mini set back in November)
We also befriended our neighbors, Ruben, Lindsay (who are dating) and Vadim, right away, so like I said we got pretty lucky. Aleks is the 3rd band member and we consider him and his girlfriend, Ashley, our neighbors as well since they are over so often! hah. 
"The Neighbs" as I like to call em.
Lindsay, Ruben, Ashley, Vadim and Aleks on New Years.
We still aren't sure why Ash was frowning here..lol.
So this past Wednesday the band, known as FOWLS, played a show at a local bar here in Rochester, and even though we had heard their songs through our vents a number of times, to actually watch them play was awesome. Kelan and I went to the show with the girlfriends, and we all had a great time! 

Some pictures I got of FOWLS at their show on Wednesday.

So those are the recent happenings from this past week. This post really made me realize how much I love food and music. hah. So feel free to keep those recipe suggestions coming, as well as any music recommendations! I am always up for discovering new bands/artists.

Thanks for those of you who threw some crockpot recipes my way! I definitely want to try some of those out asap. I feel like my next crockpot quest will be apple sauce though, the way my grandma used to make it. Stay tuned for that ;)

Pouring out of my face

Last night was a very emotional night in my apartment. When I say this, I'm not trying to sound all emo and get you all to feel bad for me. I strictly cried my eyes out last night due to two of what I vote to be some of the saddest movies ever. In other words, "Good Cry Movies".



It started with Becca browsing our movie selection and asking what Seven Pounds was about.

I am perfectly fine with the fact that I love checking out Will Smith when he's shirtless, despite his age.


[Now before I go any further, I am going to highly recommend you watch both movies I am about to discuss, but only when you are completely willing to cry your eyes out, because YOU WILL CRY, don't even think you won't....and if you don't...you have no soul.]


Anyways, Seven Pounds basically cannot be explained more than, it is a movie with Will Smith (one of my favorite actors) and it is very good but incredibly sad. So the easiest way to understand what it is about, is to watch it. Which is what I told Becca. So that was movie number one, and I'll leave you with Becca's reaction after it ended:

"At first, I didn't think I was going to cry, and I thought I had no soul...but then it all hit me and tears just started POURING out of my face!"

So after we finished watching Good Cry Movie #1, we got into a discussion about what other incredibly sad movies we had seen...which eventually led to Becca , Tom and myself bonding over our mutual love for Moulin Rouge.

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love,  and be loved in return."


This turned into a "If you give a mouse a cookie" situation, because if you get the three of us talking about Moulin Rouge, we're going to want to eventually watch the movie.  So despite the fact that we were already emotionally drained, and that it was 10:30 at night, we started up Good Cry Movie #2.

What's perfect is that Kelan returned home as soon as GCM#2 was nearing the end...aka when the water works really kick in for me. Which had him genuinely concerned asking, "Oh honey, are you going to make it?!" And no, no I wasn't, to be quite honest.

So I hope you all can relate with me on how sad both of these movies are. Like I said, if you haven't seen them, get on that. I will end this subject with one more movie suggestion for you all: The Impossible, which is still in theaters. We will name this Good Cry Movie #3. It is about the Tsunami of 2004...need I say more? And yes, as you might have guessed by this point, I love Ewan McGregor.

On another note, I am currently awaiting the results of my first crockpot venture! I received a crockpot for Christmas (thanks mom and dad!), and have been wanting to make a crockpot recipe ever since. I was just waiting to stumble across the perfect recipe. I think I might have found it, Cheeseburger Joe Sandwiches. Like sloppy joes but cheesier and better! (Hopefully...) So stay tuned to see how the loss of my crockpot virginity went...and for my review of said recipe in my next post. I'll try not to keep you all waiting in anticipation for too long!

Don't let me down.


Any Good Cry Movie suggestions/experiences to share?
Feel free to share a yummy crockpot recipe with this newbie over here. (please and thank you).

Laser Tag, Kleptos, and Butterballs.

So I know it's been a few days since my first post, but I decided to wait until I had adequate content to share in this second post of mine. I do have to live up to my claims in my introduction post to you all.

We'll begin with Friday: I had the day off, and thought I'd get some work done on a wedding invitation I am currently working on, as well design a header for this lovely new blog of mine. So it's safe to say I got into one of my design zones. However, I snapped out of this zone to my roommate Becca charging up the stairs to our apartment shouting, "ROOMMATE MEETING!! MELISSA GET OUT HERE!" At this point panic takes over me and I dart to the dining room where Becca had already gathered Tom. I try to think of what this could be about...did I do something wrong? Were we robbed? I had no clue what to expect as I waited in anticipation while Becca caught her breath. Once she finally gathered her self, she presented a genius plan to us: Trek to Buffalo, to play laser tag...us (the Rochester team) against her girlfriend's team (the Buffalo team). After I recovered from the slight heart attack she gave me before presenting this plan to us, I quickly agreed that it was a great idea! Unfortunately Tom could not attend, which was sad since laser tag is right up his ally and he'd most likely be our MVP on the team. ( I gather this theory from his excessive video game playing, regular attendance to Yoga class, and his ninja Ultimate Frisbee moves.) But we didn't let his absence stop us. So after Becca was prepped and ready in her black spandex on underneath her street clothes), her, Kelan and I made the trip to Buffalo, in hopes to dominate the Buffalo team and send em home crying to their mamas.
goofs.

something you all should learn quickly, I'm obsessed with skies.

 But first, we ate dinner with them. Okay okay, I know we shouldn't dine with the enemy before such a treacherous battle, but I guess we were doing the "keeping the enemies closer" deal. So after scarfing down a delicious burger and seasoned waffle fries, I was ready to do this. However, being the poor person that I am, I decide to ask how much this laser tag session was going to be. To which I learn, it is SIXTEEN DOLLARS for a half an hour of laser tag. I know right?! I hope everyone reading this realizes that that is a ridiculous price to pay to shoot lasers at each other and possibly some annoying kids for only 30 minutes. So as you can imagine, everyone besides 2 people (Becca and her girlfriend, Alison) had to awkwardly back out. Making our trip to Buffalo not nearly as epic as we expected. However, when I find myself making more money someday, I do want to play laser tag in Buffalo, because after backing out we learned that there is a bar at the place, which I find to be pretty genius. Playing laser tag with a buzz...officially on my Bucket List.

And we move on to Saturday: This was a very exciting day that I had been anticipating since Thursday, because one of my besties from my Oswego years, Kate, was coming to visit me for the night! I hadn't seen this girl since....September? Sure. Either way, it had been forever and a day since I had last seen this girl and I was ecstatic that she was visiting. Upon her arrival, we immediately got to catching each other up on our lives, you know, typical girl talk. We then had a few drinks with the roomies, and headed out to a bar for a friend's "new job/goodbye to old job" party in legit...the middle of no where. This detail soon contributed to our growing urge to take random shit from this place. It all started with a "Happy Birthday Casey" sign. Becca and I had our eyes set on it, and Kate, our star kleptomaniac of the night, finished the deed and took down the banner in three stealthy moves. Now as you can probably imagine, we did not stop there. To make a long story short, our total inventory from this nowhere bar was: The "Happy Birthday Casey Banner", a 1/2 price appetizer sign, a sign that read "No unauthorized popping of the kernels of the corn" [great wording, eh?], Malt Vinegar, a set of Salt and Pepper shakers, A1 sauce, Hot Sauce, 3 ping pong balls, and here's the best one....a giant stick of butter that we dipped in the popcorn maker...in other words, a buttered popcorn ball. So I believe it's safe to say, we had a very successful, hilarious, Klepto night. My roommates and I soon learned that Kate fit in with us PERFECTLY! I had a blast having her visit me in Rochester, and can't wait until she returns!
great signage.

Becca, Kate, and Kelan posing with our buttered popcorn ball.

Casual pic with a giant stick of butter.

Pro Kleptomaniacs.

we may or may not have made this mess....


So I hope this gives you all a glimpse of what is to come in my future blog posts. Basically expect complete randomness.

Any proud klepto accomplishments you wanna share with me??
