Things I Love Thursday...

One of the things I love is winning... and not the Charlie Sheen kind... :)

But I do love to win... if I play at something, then I am super competitive and probably not fun to play with... seriously, dont play Trivial Pursuit with Daniel and I (what? was that a challenge I heard? bring it on!).... If I actually do something (you know, when Im not being lazy), then I go for it - all the way!

And because I love all of yall! And yall made one of my big dreams come true.... I got 100 likes on my facebook page - woot woot - doing the happy dance! Im giving away this gorgeous set of earrings that I promised.... they are so, so cute and if I could wear anything but studs in my own ears, then I would probably keep them for myself.... but I know how cute they would look on someone who could actually wear them as opposed to my dresser table... ha ha.

I have no idea what they are made of, so dont bother asking, but they are these mosaic-y, opalescent looking things... lots of purples and greens.... really fun, but could look nice with something more serious as well.... dont you love when jewelry is mult-functional...

Anyway... so here is the deal... there is a post on my facebook fan page about the earrings - go leave a comment on that... and then for an extra entry, come back here and post on this post as well.... you have to comment on the fan page first though.... Ill come back and draw a winner next Thursday.

.

And guys, I know you are thinking this prize doesnt apply to you... but seriously, a great gift for your sweetie that you dont have to shop for, pick out or pay for? Who are you kidding?

.

And Ive decided that for every 25 new likes that I get on my fan page, Im going to give away another prize... and Im already at 106 now... so only 19 more to go.... and I promise, its going to be different every time so you never know what I might throw at you... :)

.

Yall are awesome... truly!

Something else that I love on this Thursday is cake.... mmmmmm.... yummmmm! I also love to cook... and every once in awhile, I experiment. Now, Ill be honest - most of my experiments are super-failures. Dont get me wrong, Im good at cooking things I know how to cook, but every once in awhile, I will get it in my head that I need to try something new...

.

Which I did tonight....

.

And it actually turned out not too bad.

.

I mixed up a cake mix (yellow, if you were curious) and then I poured it in a hot skillet and made pancakes.... :) They were actually pretty good... not nearly as sweet as I thought they were going to be - they were really good... and yes, this is what we ate for dinner, Im such a bad mom... even worse though - if I would have had time, I would have melted some icing and drizzled it over the top.... oh my my... can you even imagine!

.

I will tell you though... each pancake is like eating a cupcake, so you can only eat a few and you are full! And Im not even going to go into how much sugar is in these things... but again - they were good... woo hoo - experiment success!
