Indescribable

Amazing. Lucky. Fantastic. I don't have a voice left. One of the best nights ever. I'll finish posting more later. But for now?

We were on a BREAK!

5 bonus points if you know where that is from.

BTW, does this count towards my no Target pledge. It doesn't, right? RIGHT?

Mr. Pie's New Girlfriend

She's smokin' hot!

Last Saturday, Mr. Pie left in the morning to go get his hairs cut. He was gone for a while. Now, I know his head is not that big but I also know that he likes to run all of his errands on Saturday while he's up in his old hood, check on his other office, etc. So I didn't really think anything of it. Plus I knew he'd be home soon because we had later afternoon lunch plans with Jimmissa. A few hours later, Mr. Pie comes through the door, with a handsome haircut on his head and a smile on his face.

Mr. Pie: "I have to show you what I bought."

Mrs. Pie: "Oh really?" I'm not paying that much attention.

Mr. Pie: "It's in the garage, you have to see it. I went to 2 different Lowe's!"

Mrs. Pie: "Ok, make it quick, we're gonna be late for our lunch."

2 different Lowe's huh? Mr. Pie loves Lowes. Once, he went 3 times in one day, "forgetting" to buy a thing or two from the previous trip.

And what was it? Well, it's his new girlfriend!

He spent most of Sunday night paying attention to her!

But boy...can she cook a mean steak.

One of the best steaks I've ever had!

I don't know what Mr. Pie does with the wood chips he buys or the 1000 lb bag of charcoal sitting in our garage but whatever it is, he can keep this girlfriend!

And tonight? He made carne freakin' asada! That he's been marinating for the past 2 days!

Look how much he loves her ;)Yummy carne asada

He also whipped up a spicy guacomole dip! Oh joy oh joy! Welcome to the family, Mrs. Charcoal!

Hi, my name is Mrs. Pie and I have an addiction

Dear Target, We've been together, what, 16 years? I remember the first time I laid eyes on you - your strong symbol outside, the shelves glistening with product after product, your attractive selection of health & beauty products. Oh, and let's not even get into how I drooled over your $1 bins and your clearance sections - your clearance makes my heart skip a beat. We've been together for a long long time - longer than I've been with my husband. And I know, over the years, I have been to other stores. I have! But I've always come back to you. Even when I got married and my husband didn't understand why I had to be with you for hours during 1 shopping trip to get toothpaste, I still knew, we had something special. But Target, I am sad to say that I finally come to the conclusion that we have a co-dependency relationship and that I am addicted to you. What was the straw that broke the camel's back? The Monday after Easter, I risked being late to work to peruse the aisle for Easter candy and other discounted items. I shoved my way in there with the other housewives, hoping for that deal. It also could be that we are now stocked with 20 bars of soap, 150 trash bags, an endless supply of ziploc bags and kleenex and also a ton of disinfectant wipes. Where is this going, you ask? Target, I am so sorry but I pledge to not visit you for meaningless items (only necessary groceries and household items). I am so very sorry but I need a break. I will try this for 30 days to give us the time that we so desperately need. I hope you understand. However, still feel free to send a store coupon my way so that I can hold on to it after the break. I will always hold a special place for you in my heart. Sincerely, Mrs. Pie

"The only bro who can cook marries the only sister who can also cook. that's not what I call check and balance....."

Ha! My older sister made that comment on my FB status. Mr. Pie cooked last night! He's the best.

He hadn't cooked in a while so he came back in a big way (that's what she said).

Italian meatballs made with ground turkey, and spinach, mushroom, onions and asiago cream sauce over thin spaghetti! So goooooooooood. I scarfed it down. It's amazing there was a picture for you to see.

Peanut was the recipient of leftover spaghetti.

Then we tried to recreate the Lady & the Tramp scene.

Everyone had some!

Um, Mr. Pie...you have a little something on your left...um, no still there.

Funny Pies

Hoppy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! The Pies went to Mass this morning and had a wonderful Scott's Seafood brunch. The food was underwhelming but it was still nice to enjoy :)

Bear with me for this photos - Easter is at the top of my list of fave holidays next to Christmas!
