"candy corn cookie bark"

I had good intentions of making this yummy treat for Halloween. But that is already done and over. And I never got it done. So I have all of the stuff and am going to make it for Thanksgiving. I was printing off the recipe that I found on Recipe Girl and thought I would share with everyone. I will let you know how it is. How can you go wrong with these ingredients. Candy corn is my weekness. But I am back on my "healthy eating" today, so no candy corn until Thanksgiving.
Candy Corn Cookie Bark

14 to 16 whole Oreos, broken up
1½ cups mini pretzels, broken into pieces
1 lb white chocolate (chocolate wafers work best... try Wiltons or Guittard brand)
1 cup candy corn
brown and orange colored sprinkles
1. Place waxed paper on large cookie sheet. Spread cookies, pretzels and about 3/4 cup of the candy corn into a 13x9-inch rectangle on the waxed paper.
2. Place chocolate in glass measuring cup and heat in microwave for about 1½ minutes. Stir and then microwave for about another 30 seconds until melted and smooth.
3. Drizzle melted chocolate immediately over cookie mixture, spreading with spatula (if needed) to coat evenly. Top with reserved candy corn and colored sprinkles. Work quickly before chocolate hardens.
4. Place into refrigerator until firm. Remove and gently break apart into small pieces for serving. Store in airtight container.
Yield: About 2 dozen pieces

" i die "

I have heard some of the funniest quotes today.

*I hate fake-ass girls

*Obama won- now we need to move to South America

*Go with the flow (and hope it's not aunt flo)

*I hate your granny panties *I know but I can't afford to buy new ones

*Our reputations are being tainted by Tommy Lee

LMAO. Probably not funny to most, but I am laughing my real ass off right now. These quotes are all from people I dearly love.

"rock the vote"

Hope everyone voted today! Monumental day in history!!!

"metallica madness"

Ok. I know this is suprising to some, but I went to a Metallica concert for the 2nd time in my life. Yes, I did say second. My hubs is a metal-head. I wasn't really thrilled about going, but it ended up being fun. We went with some friends, Mark and Becky. We made the most of it. The concert was AWESOME. They really do put on a great show. The people watching was great too.

We had GREAT seats. Very close to the stage.
When we were standing in line to get in, it started RAINING hard. Becky and I found some cover, but the die-hard rockers (aka. dumb husbands) stood out in the rain and got DRENCHED! They didn't care. They were going to see Metallica. YEAH!!!!!

We got in early because Mark is cool. Something about a fan club, tickets??? Not sure, but was nice to get there before the crazies. It was a PACKED house. Lazer light show, LOUD, wine, beer, ROCK-N-ROLL. What else could a girl ask for???????????????????????????????

Took pics on our cell phone. They actually turned out pretty good.

So after the concert we met up with some people Becky knows from WOW. We went out to a bar in downtown Portland at about midnight. Rode the Max for the 1st time. I only had one glass of wine. Everyone else (except LeRoy and I) got pretty lit. The conversation was about gaming on-line and politics. At one point I wanted to go join the cute gay couple in the next booth over. They were pretty entertaining. So when the bar closed at 2:30 we called a cab. Everyone else wanted to walk back to the hotel. Not me. (I had no idea where we were and how far back it really was, seemed like a long ways on the Max). So at about 3:15 am LeRoy and I were standing outside the closed bar. In downtown portland. Freezing in the rain. With drunk Hobo's and hoodlums. Waiting for a cab. Nothin'. Not even knowing how to get back to the hotel. One of the waitress's from the bar was still there and called another cab for us. It was the best $10.00 i spent all weekend. Safe and sound back to the hotel. The party got moved to our room. By 4:00 am I was tired and sober and done. Ready to go to bed. Enough WOW talk. I was very quiet and tolerable. Got about 4 hours sleep. Over all the weekend was great. (motel was questionable). On the way back on Sunday we stopped at IKEA. Shopping with my husband is about as fun as going to the dentist. Spent $2.32 at IKEA. Oh, and ate lunch. And had a $1 frozen yogurt. Glad to get home and see my kids.

"happy halloween"

Halloween is already a blur. I went to the pumpkin patch with Tyler's class in the afternoon. Fun and the weather was great. Even went on a hayride with BFF's hubby. (he happens to be the priciple of Tyler's school, ha ha). We came home and frosted sugar cookies. Tyler thought they were for the beaver game on Sat since they were black and orange. I told him "yep" they are. No reason to burst his bubble and tell him they are halloween colors. The Three Muskateers.........ummmmm.............I mean 3 M & M's. They looked awesome in their costumes. They wore them to school and everyone loved them. The girls went to a halloween/birthday party on Halloween but had to come home early because the had basketball tryouts early on Sat. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASSANDRA!!!

Tyler didn't want to trick-or-treat, he decided to stay home and hand out candy. After about 10 trick-or-treater, he just wanted to go to a few houses and get some candy. After a few houses, he wanted to go a little further down the street. So I stood out on the sidewalk while he went (it was still light out side). I was laughing so hard. He didn't really have an official costume (just beaver stuff) and he was wearing shorts and flip flops. His hat is a santa hat with a white ball on the end. He was running from house to house and his little white ball was bouncing up and down. SO funny. Then he begged me to take him around our entire block. So I put on my shoes and off we went. We had so much fun. I would have been a little sad if we hadn't trick or treated just a little.

Yummy cookies. Didn't last very long.

"soggy saturday"

Had to get one more rockin' blue mascara pic on here. I have halloween pics from last night, but don't have time to post them right now. Will do it later. Peace out, cubscout!
