Bragging Wife

Just thought I'd share this photo of Michael in FLMX Mag this month! Pretty sick!

New Obession

I'm loving the Axxium nails from OPI. Went with my girlfriend yesterday and tried it out. For the first time ever, I've come home with a manicure and color on my nails and it hasn't chipped or smudged! Amazing. Officially addicted.

Because we're going to France next week, and its supposed to last for 2 weeks, I choose the "Louvre Me, Louvre Me Not" color hehehe

Another way I manage to spend money...

I am super excited to be blogging about my recent Barnes & Nobles purchase!

As I mentioned a little bit ago, Michael and I get to go to France really soon. And if you've ever been there before you know not all French are that keen on English speaking tourists so I humored myself my buying the Level 1 of French Rosetta Stone. I know I'm not going to learn the language in the whole 10 or so days before we leave but I still want to give it a try. I had been meaning to buy it for awhile considering my mom's whole family speaks French plus the fact I took classes in high school and have all but forgotten "Hi my name is Danielle." Sheesh. These things aren't cheap either! I was planning on buying 1, 2, and 3 together but wasn't willing to pay $550 so I bought level 1 and told myself if I actually really get through it I'll consider paying an arm and a leg for the rest.

And because I probably won't even learn past "Hi my name is Danielle" before we leave I bought a handy dandy little French phrase book to keep in my purse at all times. When we went to Milan last year I had the Italian version and I was pretty impressed with myself at how many times I actually used it and how often it really helped! Especially when we were asking for directions or trying to read dinner menus! So, if you're traveling out of the country I highly suggest you invest in a Frommer's PhraseFinder & Dictionary book!

But MOST importantly!!! I finally got Stephenie Meyers lastest book/novella (whatevs)!!!! I'm hoping The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner is just the Twilight fix I need right about now. I know, I know... where have I been? It's been out for forever... well, I was moving, planning a wedding, getting married etc etc and barely had time to sleep let alone read a book. So I will for sure be packing this along with me to France. This and another book because it's probably only going to get me through the plane ride there. Any suggestions for my 10 hours home?

K, gotta get back to cleaning! Angel, the rottie we've been watching, sheds like a mofo!

changing it up

doing a little nip and tucks to my blog. so sorry if you notice my extreme wishy-washyness.

Birds in a nest

One of the many reason I love my Husband (gosh I just love saying that!) is because every morning he gets out of bed (usually before me), turns on the kettle for my morning tea and he cooks me breakfast. Unless I'm at a buffet where I can sample one of everything, which is the perfect setup for me because I suffer from food envy, I usually always prefer a "birds in a nest" breakfast. What is that you ask? Why it's this...

A simple hole cut out of the middle of a piece of bread with an egg cooked in the middle. Add a cup of English Breakfast... one tsp of sugar and a splash of milk... and I'm set!

Yep, so there's my random post for the day. Happy Wednesday everyone!

Oh!

And Happy November!

Nous allons à la France!

Translation: We're going to France!

It was confirmed today that Michael will be racing in the Paris Supercross race November 19-21st! I am SO excited for him and for me because I get to tag along :-). And if you don't know me very well... I LOVE to travel! It's probably among my top 5 favorite things along with food and shopping so that's a pretty BIG. I've been to France a few times already but Michael and I have never been there together so I'm really excited to drag him to the Louvre so I can stop complaining about how I've tried numerous times to see the Mona Lisa and it's always a failed mission.

More details later... I gotta go cook some dinner! Tonight's menu... Perogies!
