Bed-In for Peace Day, Atheist Pride Day, First Day of Spring, Kiss Your Fiancee Day, Won't You Be My Neighbor Day,
Extraterrestrial Abductions Day
It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
It's a neighborly day in this beautywood,
A neighborly day for a beauty,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
| |
I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you,
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.
So let's make the most of this beautiful day,
Since we're together, we might as well say,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?
Won't you please,
Won't you please,
Please won't you be my neighbor?
Hi, blog neighbor, I'm glad we're together again!
Mr. Rogers was the best. . . and I love that there's a picture of him flipping the camera off floating around. It makes me love him more. What a great dude!
(P. S. U-F-O = Unexpected Flipping Off!)
Here's a few things to help you bed-in for peace! And I CANNOT believe it's spring already!
Happy Abduction Day!

National Chocolate Caramel Day, Poultry Day
. . . plus . . .
a) Heaven.
b) The reason I'm a fat bum lately.
c) My next recipe to try.
d) All of the above.
Obviously, all of the above. I mean seriously. How can I resist this? Here are the recipes.
I hope you get a good jog in before/after consuming all 24+ brownies!
Brownie Recipe
by Annie's Eats Ingredients:1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter 12 oz. bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped 1½ cups sugar 4 large eggs 1 tbsp. vanilla extract 1¼ cups all-purpose flour ½ tsp. salt 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips Directions:- Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with foil and grease the foil well with butter or cooking spray.
- Combine the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
- Heat, stirring occasionally, until completely melted and smooth. (Alternatively, microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted.)
- Remove the bowl from the heat.
- Whisk in the sugar, eggs and vanilla until incorporated.
- Stir in the flour and salt just until combined. Spread about half of the brownie batter in the bottom of the prepared pan in an even layer.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, maintaining the oven temperature, and let cool for 20 minutes.
- Immediately spread the dulce de leche mixture over the bottom brownie layer. Pour the remaining brownie batter over the dulce de leche layer, taking care to pour and spread it evenly otherwise it will be difficult to spread evenly over the dulce de leche layer.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips and the remaining pecans on top of the final brownie layer. Bake for 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing and serving.
- (To speed cooling, chill in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.)
- Lift the brownies from the pan using the edges of the foil. Remove the foil and cut the brownies into individual squares. Store in an airtight container.
| Dulce de Leche Recipe
by Smells Like Home Ingredients:1 can sweetened condensed milk, label removed Directions:- If the can has a pull tab, lift the tab very carefully and slowly, just until the seal of the can pops with a tiny hole – you don’t want to open the can more than this much. If your can doesn’t have a pull tab, pop the seal with a tiny pinch of a can opener.
- Place the can in a medium stainless steel sauce pot (do not use non-stick or enamel-coated) and pour water about 3/4 the way up the can.
- Bring water to a simmer over medium-low to medium heat and simmer for 3 to 3 1/2 hours, replenishing the water level every 30 minutes or so. Don’t worry if the milk bubbles out of the can – only a few tablespoons will be lost.
- Let the can cool completely. Open the can stir and dulce de leche to achieve a consistent thickness. Either use immediately or store the dulce de leche to an airtight container (keep refrigerated).
Holy crap.
Count me in.
Happy indulging!

March 18: Awkward Moments Day, Forgive Mom and Dad Day, Goddess of Fertility Day
This picture is kind of an awkward moment in and of itself.
My parents are no longer married, but this picture is from
December 6, 1977, the day they said "I do."
Today, March 18, 2012 is the day I say "I forgive you."
I would not be who I am today if not for things playing out exactly as they were
supposed to, not only in my life, but in everyone's lives around me.
And for that, I say, THANK YOU!
P. S. I also have to say - LOL! My dad looks like a baby! I love you, Padre.
And I love my mom's face in this picture!! I love you, Madre.
Happy forgiving!

March 17: Corn Dog Day, National Quilting Day, St. Patrick's Day
Awww. . . Look at me with my red hair! Happy St. Patrick's Day all you Irish out there, as well as everyone else (ahem, me!) that will be pretending their Irish. My hair confuses people, but alas, I am Irish-less. Except for my boyfriend, Mr. McHenry. *sigh* If we get married, people will REALLY be thrown off!
Anyway, I wanted to share some sweet quilts that I'll probably never have the patience to make myself. Maybe I'll print pictures of them, tape them together, then sleep under them. Probably not!
My mom is making Justin and I this kick-ass quilt by V & Co. in teal and grey. I can't wait! | Sherri Lynn Wood inspires us to express ourselves with this Mod-Mood Quilt. On her site, you'll find a DIY tutorial complete with a listing of the colors and the moods they represent! |
In honor of St. Patrick:
GOLD: nervous, mixed emotions, unsettled, warm, rich
LIME GREEN: excited, anticipation, new growth, perceptive, motivated
GREEN: average reading, active, not under great stress, growth, abundance, prosperity, gratitude, hope, satisfaction, contentment, fertile, envy, greed, jealous, heart chakra
BLUE-GREEN: charged but relaxed, calm, dynamic, refreshed, tranquil, patience, cool, motivated, fussy, egocentric Binding a quilt is my absolute least favorite thing to do in the whole wide world of quilting and Red Pepper Quilts teaches us how to make a binding-free quilt! Yes!! | I would love to get this quilt with a love letter or words of wisdom quilted on it! What a cool idea from Cornflower Blue Studio! They make them in minis on their etsy site, but I want mine bed-sized! |
| | This quilt in shades of green would be an awesome piece to throw on your couch during the St. Patty's Day festivities! Thanks, Purl Soho! |
Happy quilting and top of the morning to ya!

March 15: Companies that Care Day, Ides of March, True Confessions Day
Alright, peeps. It's been a pretty rough week over on my side of town. Consequently, working out has fallen to the wayside. Here's my confession. I've been a fat bum lately. That changes today. I have a few motivational tidbits to help keep me on track and maybe it'll help you, too!
| | I am going to be posting one (totally unflattering) picture each month to track my progress. If it's online, I'm hoping it will keep me on fire. Ugh. Well, people - No day but today!
|
Self Magazine's 14 Days to a Happier, Healthier You! is going to be awesome! Also, Women's Health Magazine has a really great Running for Beginners program! Day 1: Enjoy Frequent, Tiny Hits of Pleasure Treat yourself to mini-pockets of fun throughout your day. Eat dessert after lunch and dinner, savoring only a few bites each time. Curl up with a novel every few hours, but read only a page or two. Or, when you've got the blahs, visit CuteOverload.com, but limit browsing to two minutes. Day 2: Move It Carve out time for 21 minutes of moderate-intensity (or 11 minutes of rock-your-socks-off) cardio today. Repeat for a week. Why such an oddly specific number? That's what experts say it takes to be considered moderately fit, and moderately fit women are 44 percent less apt to have depressive symptoms than nonexercisers, the Journal of Psychiatric Research reports. (Super fit women are 54 percent less likely to be blue.) Day 3: Quit Comparing It's tough to resist seeing how you measure up against others, but give it a try: At yoga, focus on your poses, not other'. At a party, pay attention to the talk, not the size of the host's kitchen. If you must compare, gauge how you're doing now against who you were last year. "Do a better deed today than you did yesterday," says Dan Baker, Ph.D., author of What Happy People Know.Day 4: Give Up That Grudge Forgive someone—that maniac who cut you off on the freeway or a pal who stood you up. Breathe in, exhale, and imagine all hostility leaving you; replace it with compassion and love.Day 5: Linger in the Break Room Get up from your desk, drop by your pal's cube, and ask about her weekend. The next time you send an email to a coworker, add a personal sign-off, wishing her luck in her upcoming race. No office confidante? Find someone you think you might have something in common with, and schedule a lunch.Day 6: Tap Into Your Innate Strengths Discover your dominant character strengths by taking a free, fun, 30- to 40-minute quiz at ViaMe.org. The test asks questions along the lines of whether you try to tease pals out of a bad mood, for example, to ID your best traits. Once you get the results, use a key strength in a new way each day this week. Creative? Pen a haiku—bet you haven't done that since grade school. Highly spiritual? Read about Buddhism, or meditate. Day 7: Change Your Thinking in 4 Minutes Imagine an event that makes you anxious, like an upcoming trip. Horribilize it for two minutes, exploring your worst fears. (You'll get in an accident on the way to the airport and miss your plane.) Now take two minutes to possibilize it, picturing the best outcome (80-degree days, discovering a new passion). Ask yourself, Which life do I want to lead?Day 8: Vary Your Thanks Tonight, before bed, jot down a few things you love about your family. One morning next week, right when you wake up, do it again, this time focusing on what you adore about your pals. Then, the next afternoon, write down the reasons you're grateful for your job. Give thanks twice a week tops, focusing on whatever feels wonderful in your life.Day 9: Just Do It...Yes, That!Drop the remote, shut your laptop, turn on some Arcade Fire, and give your sweetie a little love, even if—shocker—you're not that into it at this very moment. Getting it on reduces anxiety and depression and elevates mood. Day 10: Be a Faker Put on a smile, whether you feel like it or not. Feigning joy can induce joy. People who accurately made happy, angry or surprised expressions experienced those feelings two out of three times, a study in Psychophysiology shows. The facial movements trigger physiological changes: I'm smiling; that must mean I'm happy. Day 11: Grab Some Girlfriend Time Get your BFF and head to a museum, take a hike or spend an evening with takeout and Downton Abbey. (See more fab girlfriend get-together ideas.) If your pal isn't local, call or Skype her for a heart-to-heart. Having one truly great friend affects your joy more than having a few dozen sort-of-close friends. A solid relationship with your nearest and dearest can improve your happiness by up to 10 percent, according to research in the Journal of Happiness Studies. Day 12: Help the Local Economy Whatever you need—a bottle of wine, new tires—don't drive miles out of your way to get it at a better price. Today, go to your local store and ask for the shopkeeper's recommendation. Then snag it, even if it isn't the exact thing you had in mind or the least expensive. People who search for only the best, even if they find it, are less happy than those who opt for something that's good enough, research suggests. "It might seem counterintuitive, but learning that good enough often is good enough buys you time to devote to more meaningful things, like family," says Barry Schwartz, Ph.D., author of The Paradox of Choice. When you buy locally, you also bond with a merchant, and relationships are a primary source of joy. That makes it a twofer, happinesswise.Day 13: Plan Fun On your first free day, pencil in something you'd love to do. (A massage!) Then download the TimeAndDate.com Countdown app on Facebook. Every time you log on, you'll see how long you have until the pampering. Looking forward to a future perk can give you a lift right now. People who book a vacation feel elation long before they board a plane, research finds—that is, you don't have to go anywhere to reap the benefits of a holiday. Maximize the high by reminding yourself of the upcoming event as often as possible. (Photo of a beach on your mirror? That works!)Day 14: Put a Cherry on Top When you have something unpleasant to do, like a horrible commute or an appointment at the dentist, give yourself a positive finish to look forward to. When you reach the end of a long car ride, crank up your radio and groove out to "Mr. Roboto." After the cavity filling, treat yourself to a walk in the park. Life as we live it and life as we remember it are two different things. When people look back on their day, it's the very best and the very worst moments that tend to have the greatest effect on how they remember it, a study in Emotion reports. What's more, people tend to recall feeling angrier, sadder and more tense during the worst moments than they actually reported experiencing during the event itself. "If you engineer a positive outcome, you'll help offset a negative one," says study author Talya Miron-Shatz, Ph.D., founding director of the Center for Medical Decision Making at Ono Academic College. Not only will you recall a tough week at work, but you'll also recall that luxe mani-pedi on Friday evening. So go live happily for these two weeks—and ever after! Happy living!

Happy March, all! Finally, Spring is coming! Yee-haw! Yippee! Yes! March is going to be AWESOME! I have lots of fun things planned this month and all fun plannings to be done for my time-off in April. . . What to do, what to do. . . Any ideas, shoot them my way!
March 1: Pig Day, Witch Hysteria Day, Plan a Solo Vacation Day, Peanut Butter Lovers' Day
I got a phone call from my Dad a few weeks ago, letting me know that my Papa (ie. grandpa, Dad's dad) was having a surprise 75th birthday party thrown for him. He said "Now, I know you probably can't make it, but I just wanted to let you know" and I said "Let me see what I can do" I had a plane ticket purchased within thirty minutes! The plan was to surprise my Papa TWICE at his surprise party! Well, the initial surprise (the party itself) fell through, but he had NO idea that I was in town. I had flown in the night before (February 23rd - Justin's Mom's birthday!) and called him the morning of his party, asking what he had planned for his birthday, how the weather was in Michigan, etc. etc. Little did he know, I called him when I was on the way to his house! My Dad walked in the back door while I waited (hid) a few minutes in the car, then I went to the front door. When my Papa opened the door, I was expecting major tears, but I could definitely see the love in his dry eyes. I said "Papa, just one tear?" And he said "You know I can't" with a slight quiver in his voice. Oh, I love him! So, this was my Solo Vacation! Not as relaxing or beautiful as a beach vacation, but unforgettable none-the-less.
| | March 2: Dress in Blue Day, Dr. Seuss' Birthday, Employee Appreciation Day, Old Stuff Day
Here's a sneak peek into Justin's Birthday Party 2012! Gold and elegant, royal blue is the color scheme! Yay!
For some reason I am addicted to gold and blue lately. Check out these other wearable blues for March 2nd!

March 3: I Want You to Be Happy Day, National Anthem Day, Peach Blossom Day
It's been a pretty rough week. Justin started his new job and his schedule totally does NOT mesh with our "old" schedule. I am SO excited for him and his new position, but I have been afraid of its effects on our relationship. After seeing today's holiday, I Want You to be Happy Day, I realized that some things just have to work themselves out. On top of that awesome holiday, it's Peach Blossom Day and you know what peach blossoms mean? Long life, generosity and bridal hope. Not that I'm a bride (yet), but it gives me hope that everything will be as awesome as it has been the last thirty months! We will prevail. This job is not the end, it's a new beginning put before us to test and strengthen our relationship.

March 6: US Snowshoe Day, Dentists' Day, National Frozen Food DayThe Denver Post's article "Best Places to Snowshoe in Colorado" includes several trails around Colorado to try out as well as tips to make your next snowshoeing trip the best ever! What to Wear:Snowshoes, of course! They come in three types: trail, backcountry, and racing ranging from $100 to $350. Warm, waterproof boots that are comfortable to hike it. Wool or synthetic hat, gloves and windproof jacket which retains heat even when wet. Dress in layers! Poles, while not crucial, help maintain balance especially when breaking trail or going downhill. What to Pack:Daypack include water (1 liter for every hour on the trail), high-energy snacks and the rest of the "10 essentials" — a first-aid kit, flashlight or headlamp, map and compass, waterproof matches or other fire starter, pocket knife, emergency whistle, sunscreen and sunglasses. Don't bother with goggles - they tend to fog up under such heavy exercise! Also duct tape, piece of wire/cord and a pair of Leatherman-style pliers for on-the-trail repairs. Safety:The major risks in snowshoeing involve hypothermia or frostbite (because of the cold), dehydration (the exercise and altitude) and avalanches (the terrain). To stave off hypothermia, a dangerous and potentially deadly drop in the body's core temperature, take pains to stay warm and dry. Use chemical hand warmers and foot warmers if necessary to protect your extremities. Take along an extra pair of gloves for your return trip, when the circulation in your fingers may be shortchanged by the blood flow to your legs. To prevent dehydration, which can impair your judgment and sap your energy, take plenty of water — and drink it, every time you stop for a breather. If you carry a Camelbak, make sure it's insulated, and keep the drinking tube from freezing by blowing the water back into the reservoir after each use. Carry water bottles inside your pack rather than in mesh pockets on the outside. To keep from getting buried in an avalanche, pay close attention to the forecasts, watch for evidence of slides and, in general, avoid slopes with angles of 30 degrees or more. | | Rocky Mountain National Park Suggested for beginners, Rocky Mountain National Park also hosts free, ranger-led snowshoe ecology tours at 12:30 p.m. every Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Wednesday through March. Reservations required, at 970-586-1223. Wild Basin AreaWell-marked routes, most popular 2.8-mile trail to Calypso Cascades, with more challenging options available! West of Boulder The Brainard Lake area near Ward offers excellent snowshoeing when the weather isn't too windy, including snowshoe-only trails created by the Colorado Mountain Club. If the snow has been blown free in open areas, the Jenny Creek trail at the Eldora Mountain Resort or Lost Lake trail west of Nederland can be good alternatives.St. Mary's Glacier The trail to St. Mary's Glacier, northwest of Idaho Springs, usually has good snow and you get off I-70 before you hit the ski traffic. Berthoud Pass The old Squaw Pass road east of Echo Lake, off the Mount Evans road south of Idaho Springs. Or try Butler Gulch, reachable via a good gravel road that heads west from the first switchback on U.S. 40 at the eastern foot of Berthoud Pass. Silver Dollar Lake trail The Silver Dollar Lake trail off the Guanella Pass road south of Georgetown is highly recommended, although once you've reached the lake, don't go beyond or around it or you'll be in avalanche territory. Grizzly Gulch Grizzly Gulch, west of Georgetown off the Bakerville exit is another option, although it can be risky if you go too far up the valley. Kenosha Pass Southwest of Denver, Kenosha Pass offers easy access to sections of the Colorado Trail via U.S. 285. Abyss Lake trail For something different, try the Abyss Lake trail on the south side of Guanella Pass (also reachable off U.S. 285). It's a little less used, and you don't have to get on I-70! |
March 7: Cereal Day, National Be Heard Day
What's YOUR favorite cereal?
Happy munching!
