Lunch with Paula Deen

If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen the picture I posted of Miss Southern herself, Paula Deen. {If not, follow me at lpeters27}

That's right folks - Paula {we are on a first name basis} was in Houston for the MetroHouston cooking show this past weekend and me the momma scored some last minute tickets.

A day of sampling from food booths and 2 hours of Paula? I could feel my waistline increasing the second I bought the tickets.

"All I needed y'all was a little bit more buttah"

"Mmmm Michael, that is so good honey"

As if it couldn't get any more exciting than Paula and me - I picked up some goodies at that show that make me wish I was smart enough to have come up with them!

These two gadgets are seriously the coolest things I have ever seen - like cooler than drive through strawberry daquiri. Cooler than automatic flushing toliets. Cooler than Siri. {well she sucks but the idea was cool}

If somebody would have brought these to me in the beginning though, I would have told them to try again. {yeah good thing I am not on Shark Tank}

Speaking of Shark Tank - this first item I am obsessed with is called Rock It 3.0 and it was previous on Shark Tank - I can't really explain it other than to say you can make speakers out of ANYTHING. And by anything I mean a freaking tissue box folks!!

Just watch {and then pick your jaw up} because it is f*#$@%! amazing!

Seriously everone I know is getting one for Christmas whether they like it or not
My second obsession - spray coffee
{yes you read that correctly}

A can of spray coffee that I can carry around in my purse? What? Don't worry I didn't believe it until I watched in person and tasted it!

No joke - you spray this in the bottom of your glass, add milk and stir. See ya later Starbucks and your ridiculous prices; This girl just bought 35 cups of iced coffee for less than .30 a glass!

Yep - Inventi Coffee is only $10 for the whole can and it doesn't have to be refridgerated and they are coming out with flavored ones in January and it only has 5 calories per serving and it's not full of crazy ingredients you have never heard of and it's the 5 best coffee beans from around the world in ONE CAN.

Phew! I need a glass right now just talking about it!

Seriously I just wish I could have come up with something half as genius as these things. Props to these folks for sticking with it and making their dreams a reality!

No they did not pay me or send me free things to say this - I was completely sucked in on my own accord lol

How was your weekend? Did you find any items worth ranting over???

Thanks and Gig 'Em

Ahhh! My life has been absolutely turned upside down these last two weeks.

Everyone has this excuse when they neglect their children right? and by child, I mean blog of course - I would never neglect an actual child - unless my husband counts lol

Anywho - I wanted to spend a few minutes gushing about my school pride as it seems to be that time of year - what with all the football games and tailgates resuming.

If you do not bleed maroon or more specifically if you bleed burnt orange {ahem} - fair warning on this here Aggie post



This past weekend I made that all too familiar drive to my 2nd home - good ole College Station, TX {My Best Friend's Wedding anyone? anyone?}

It was my Aggies season opener in our brand spankin new conference, the SEC  and not considering the minor situation of losing the game - my boys and my town did not disappoint!

I know what you non-Aggies are thinking - "Wow, she was definitely brainwashed and is now part of the Texas A&M cult" - yeah, yeah, yeah I have heard it before and here is my answer...

If you attend a major university, especially in the south, especially in Texas - you get sucked into the "cult" of that school's traditions, culture, people and atmosphere.

And if you don't then you are wasting your money - that is part the college experience - be proud of your school and what it represents!

The atmosphere in College Station and Kyle Field is something you have to experience to understand - we have a saying at A&M and it describes our "cult" better than I can

Amen

{Stepping off the soap box now} Back to this weekend - here are my favorite parts of Aggie football game days

Tent Sales
 Just a few choices! Don't worry I got 4 new ones :)

Don't worry the hubby got one too - needless to say - he loved it

Check out this little nugget of an idea I found at the tent sale! Genius I tell you!

Seriously if you ever need anything with the Aggie logo enblazened on it - this is the place to get it. T-shirts, koozies, dog collars, shorts, hoodies, dominoes - you know the essentials.

All for college student prices - AKA cheap

I might have picked up new shirts and accessories for every member of my household included Murph dog. {bandana pics to come}


The Fightin' Texas Aggie Band
{history lesson: the Corp of Cadets are a staple at Texas A&M - more importantly a staple at Aggie football games - best.band.in.town}

Proof {old video, but still amazing}
Just watching this makes me smile 

me and my not so baby sister {too damn grown up}


Taking pictures in front of Kyle Field - along with 80,000 of my closest friends

 There she is - home of the 12th Man

Hey close friends! {except the hottie in the background with his hand on his hip}

Just driving through town and seeing the school spirit - especially on the munckins!
my super stinkin' cute 2nd cousins

game day flags lining University Blvd.

Another proud Aggie showing his true colors!

Representing even in his sleep - I like it!




Point is - I freaking love my school - always will! 

Thanks and Gig 'Em
Lindsey

Oh yeah and the actual football game is fun too!! 84,000 screaming fans - what's not to love right!?

Babies, houses and puppies oh my!

Oh - what have I been up to you ask?

You know - the usual - buying a house, getting pregnant, getting a new puppy and buying a new car.


HA! Seriously? None of those things - but here are few things slightly less exciting that I am not lying about doing

Role Playing:
{don't be naughty lol}

The World Trade Soiree that my job hosts every year is the place to be and be seen! This year's theme was Luck Be Houston - think Vegas and Audrey Hepburn/Frank Sinatra/Marilyn Monroe. {It's also an excuse to get all gussied up!} 

See that little lady in the 2nd picture on the 2nd row? You might recognize her as Miss Tess from A Modern Suburbanite's Life! Yep, I get to see that shining face everyday at work - here is what we do.


Napping with my baby:
there are no words folks


Eating like I don't have an inner tube on my stomach to lose:


 Houston Restaurant Weeks - if you live in Houston, look it up! Best way to try the fancy shmancy restaurants on a budget!

Seriously? Salted caramel and chocolate fudge macaroons? Kill me now


Mani/Pedis with the Sister-in-Law:
China Glaze: Dance Baby = obsessed! P.S. - I just ordered it on Amazon for $5 {including shipping} WHAT?


Retail Therapy:
I caved - they were calling me. by name. - I am now the proud owner of a bouncing baby May Book! 

I would seriously live inside this store if that wouldn't lead to my arrest and my husband's irritation


Sunbathed:
topless. NOT - gag me
Happy Labor Day Weekend!! Best friends a girl could get and an amazing weekend!

Things I did NOT do:
1. Eat healthy
2. Save money
3. Work on my blog
4. Work on my website
5. Clean my house
F.A.I.L

Point is - I am back!! And I have some exciting posts coming up! 

Good night moon. Good night stars. Good night blog.
