I like to move it, move it…..except when nothing is ready

Take a minute and think about where you live: everything you own, all the furniture, all the things hung on the walls.  Now let me ask you this: Could you move everything out of your house today, right now? You have the whole day, but nothing is packed, no moving truck has been booked, no storage unit rented, and no preparation whatsoever.  Well before you underestimate yourself, let me tell you that it is possible and pretty much describes how the weekend went when I decided to move out.

They are so easy and quick to make.  Not to mention, I always get so many compliments whenever I make them.  I originally found the recipe on Pinterest and the page can be found here. I have added a few of my own findings to the recipe below.

My New Year’s Eve Disappointment

cassiebaldoLeave a comment

I had such high expectations for my New Year’s Eve in 2016.  My friends and I went to a big masquerade party complete with food, a live band, dancing, and all of your typical party horns and party props.  It was a formal party that we got to dress up for. I was so excited! My first single New Year’s eve! The possibilities were endless.  I had the typical New Years fantasy that every single girl has at one time or another.  Go to this party, meet a special someone, and at the stroke of midnight, have a new year’s kiss that rocked my world! Anyone else? Just me who had this fantasy?Jan

We get to the party and start to eat and dance.  To my extreme disappointment, I’m pretty sure there were only 4 single people there that night at the party.  Me and my two friends and this other guy we met, who for the life of me, I cannot remember his name.  Everyone there was coupled up, not to mention it seemed to be an older crowd.  Adding on to that extreme disappointment, the only kiss I had at midnight, was the kiss goodbye to my fantasy that completely did not happen.  The night winds down, party is ending and we are leaving.  On the way out we met a girl who was waiting on her boyfriend to come out of the bathroom.  When he came out, they annoyingly started kissing and being all in love and what not. I say annoyingly because I was hatin’, mad hard, and for the first time the realization of being single set in.
