The 84th Academy Awards

It's that time of the year again. It's the OSCARS! Way better than the Super Bowl . . . in my opinion . . . my husband on the other hand it's probably a 60/40 thing . . or maybe not. I should ask him. ☺ Anyway, I'll be watching it and I'm super excited. I'm glad they went with a classic host like Billy Crystal, rather than last years . . . hem hem . . It'll be good this year.

Here are my picks for the Oscars: 

(it's kinda who I think will win . . and others are who I want to win ☺)

Best Picture: The Artist 

Actor in a leading role: Jean Dujardin, The Artist . . . or George.

Actress in a leading role: Rooney Mara, The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo 

Actor in a supporting role: Christopher Plummer, The Beginners

Actress in a supporting role: Jessica Chastain, The Help . . . or Viola??

Directing: Michel Hazanavicius, The Artist

I'm probably wrong, seeing as how I didn't get a chance to see all of the nominated movies . . . sigh. Oh well, I'm excited to find out and I'm also excited to see all the wonderfully dressed people on the red carpet. 

There's a Party in My Tummy

 These pictures don't do this sandwich justice. It was so good.  

Here's what it is:

Asiago Cheese Bagel, slightly toasted

Fresh Spinach Leaves

Salmon Burger (from costco, it's from full fillets)

Pepper Jack Cheese (melted on top of Salmon patty)

Guacamole with Lemon Pepper (slightly chunky)

Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce, Hickory & Brown Sugar.

(if we had tomatoes, I probably would of added those as well)

Right before bed I also decided to make myself a bed time snack, or er . . drink. ☺

What it is:

2 Cups Heated Water

2 Tangerine Orange Herbal Tea Bags

1 Lemon Ginger Herbal Tea Bag

(steep tea for 6 min, then let cool off)

(fill cup full of ice and poor not so boiling hot tea into it)

1/2 Cup of POM Wonderful pomegranate juice

(poor juice into iced tea and stir, add addition sugar or honey for sweetness)

It was so refreshing and lovely on my sore throat. Perfect. 

I think if I had some mint leaves then it would of been even more lovely!

So the horrible plague continues. ☝Lennon woke up worse, hoarse throat . . silent crying . . full of sad faces, you get the picture. He's so cute! He tries to talk but seeing as his voice is gone it's this silent airy "Hi" and "Bye", he even figured out how to make this weird high pitched weezing sound. I was pleasantly surprised and woke up to a lovely breakfast made by Eric☝. It was yummy, it was like a dutch oven/skillety breakfast. He threw in potatoes, peppers, ham, egg, milk and seasonings. I topped it off with ketchup and it was perfect. It made me want to go camping. ☺ 

While we've been cooped up, I've been browsing the net, while the hubby watches t.v. and plays Dragon Age Origins II. Today I stumbled upon an amazing blog/ artist. Her name is Brittany Tingey. She grew up in my home neighborhood until her family moved. She is seriously AMAZING. These are couple of my favorites of hers. I am in awe of such talented people. Seriously. Check out her website!!

Wishing you healthiness and a good Friday! ❤

I swear we have been hit with the plague these past few days. First it was Eric, then me and now Lennon. Each a day apart. Yay . . . It's so fun. (enter sarcastic smirk) It's the exact opposite. Headaches, sore throats, fevers, grumpiness . . . . joy. I feel bad for the little one especially. It's his first time ever getting sick, so he woke up to a whole mess of confusion. I could hear it in his sad little cry. I could just imagine what was going through his mind, a sudden overwhelming feeling of . . I'm hot, no I'm cold, no wait, I'm  melting, what's this, why is my throat attacking me, is this real life! . . . . I'm pretty sure he went through all of that. We took him to the pediatrician to see if he had strep . . . he doesn't . . thank goodness. Just a flu/fever/sore throat thing that will be over supposedly in 5 ish days. So we are cuddling him and making him feel nice and cozy. It's not too bad for me (I enjoy snuggling). He's like a little radiator right now though so we've been feeding him popsicles (a first). He loves them. I feel like Lennon is like a girl on her period, where one moment he's totally fine and happy and the next it's the end of the world and nothing you do can help. Sigh. I just hope he feels better soon. Poor little buddy. Anyway, we have been quarantined. We'll see you in 5 days. 

Sock Bun

Yes, that is a sock in my bun. It is holding all my hair up. Crazy eh?

It makes the perfect bun and when slept on creates pretty curls.

Check out the tutorial above to see how to do it!
