The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever!

Did that title make you think...not another chocolate chip cookie recipe? Yup, that's what I thought. But Cheryl over at the Tidy Mom blog said you just have to try these! So I did. They truly are the BEST chocolate chip cookies ever! She said not to change a thing on the directions and instructions so I didn't but I did use dark chocolate chips. Jerry ate two right out of the oven and I had to basically hide the rest so he wouldn't keep going!
Tell me you're going to give them a try. And yes, I'll share some more with Jerry.

Self-Portrait

I am still working on Project 52--taking a themed photo each week for a year and posting here and on the Life with My 3 Boybarians blog. This week's theme was a self-portrait. Yuck, I thought. Who wants to take pictures of themselves? Not me! But then I remembered that I did take some pictures of myself last summer. I was just fooling around with my new camera trying out the self-timer feature. I had intended to delete them off my computer and of course, forgot. So here is my entry for this week. (Funny how we can be complimentary to others, but not ourselves.)

Hey Girl

I'm a little late getting in on the Ryan Gosling "Hey Girl" craze.  I decided to have some fun with Gathered From the Garden and Ryan anyway.

(I had so much fun with the pictures using Picnik. I am so very sorry to see that they are leaving us in April! )

For a great selection of Hey Girl pics and incredibly witty remarks check out Sasha's website.

Love, love this romantic card. (sigh)

I think I need to run to Michael's for more cardstock and frames!! Which one is your favorite? Got a special idea how you are going to use them?

Wordless Wednesday

Two more buds opened today. This plant is now three years old and still blooms for me!

I'll Drink To That

Sometimes don't you just get a little weighed down by life? I know I do. So I was tickled to come across this website that matches the music you are listening to with a drink suggestion. Just what the doctor ordered! A little relaxation and libation. Type in a musician or band, and you'll get a cocktail recipe from Drinkify to pair it with. What'll it be?

Life is a Bowl of Cherries With My iphone

I just got a new iphone 4S and I LOVE it! I haven't figured everything out on it yet but it sure is fun learning. (My 4-year-old grandson has even helped me--how about that?!?) However, one of the things I was just a teensy weensy disappointed in is how hard it is to get a very loud sound with it using my docking station.


So imagine my delight when I read this post! Liz over at Design & Lifestyle has a great solution. You can put your iphone in a bowl and it somehow uses the acoustics in the bowl to amplify the sound. She even takes it in the bathroom and listens to her music while she showers.

So now I can have my music and cherries too! Well, actually I'll just take the music. Not such a big fan of cherries. Try it and see what you think...
