Things I love right now

Things I love right now: Mr. Pie being home - picked him up from the airport last night :) My dogs - this is Peanut at the park yesterday This show! It's brilliant - I rented the dvds this past weekend and I'm currently downloading Season 2 on iTunes. The song Just Dance by Lady Gaga (wished I paid more attention to her at the NKOTB concert - I was a little distracted!) Valentine Day decorations in my home My new Canon is on the way to my house as I speak (type)! What are some of your favorite things so far in 2009? Please comment - I love reading them!

Cuties of 2009, Part 1

I had to share these cute pictures of BabyChip and Chip I found on their family site!

Protective big brother Chip!

BabyChip loves her sweet potatoes :)

Sammich Throw Down!

I'm always up for a cooking challenge so when Fish mentioned an Ad Ops sandwich making contest, I was all over it. Here's mine: Italian white bread Boar's Head roasted chicken MommaInLawPie's homemade pesto Fireroasted sweet red pepper Boar's Head provolone cheese Mayo A side of Boar's Head delish dill pickle Oh it was so on. I even brought in my sandwich maker to make it a hot sandwich!

Here were the contenders: Mazzy's Manwich Steak, onions, mayo, cheddar cheese with wasabi sauce on sour dough bread - very mannish and delish.

Little B's Simple Pimple

Turkey, muenster cheese, lettuce, honey mustard - very simple but the cleanest looking sandwich of all.

She even kicked it old school style and threw in spicy Funyuns in small snack bags for us. Extra points! Fish's Phamtastic Pesto Chicken, pesto, arugula, tomato - Phamtastic indeed! She provided an Ad Ops guacamole dip :) The winner? Or should I say winners? Fish brought in the prize - sandwich containers! A fabulous time was had by all and we washed it all down with RobinGirl's blueberry swirl cheesecake! Bonus: Here are pics of me -preSnuggie and postSnuggie :)

And after :)

My stomach is having a great New Year so far!

Mr. Pie has been cooking up a storm! This past weekend, he made the following:

Spaghetti Carbonara (bacon, white sauce FROM SCRATCH, linguine - you can't go wrong at all)

Chicken Marsala with Steamed Veggies and Wild Rice (we took out the pasta to make it a bit more health friendly)

So it's been 3 trips to the gym this year so far for me! I guess I will keep going as long as he keeps cooking :)

Nutter Butter is tired!

Ahhh the joys of working from home :)

Snuggie in Green

Last night Mr. Pie came home and gave me this!

It is exactly what I need on these cold California nights :) It also came with a super cool booklight. The color wasn't green as stated in my post title - Mr. Pie had included a cash bonus so now I can buy this:

[cue in the oooohs and aaaaaaahs]

This way, my blog pictures will come out perfect. Plus, I'm also getting a flash card reader so bloggers, be prepared for better and faster posts in 2009!

We also took down our Christmas decorations :( but it looks like I have presents galore to come :)

Happy New Year's Day!

Hoping the best for everyone this year :)
