House and Music

So here are some pics. There are not too many because you have to come and visit me to see the rest. I put the kitchen because I painted that wall red and you know how I love red. I did just paint another room but again I don't want to give away the surprise.

I am also posting some music on here but it is mostly for my sister. She wanted to have some Sia albums and I can't remember if you liked her or not. So I thought I would put them up here so you can share in the goodness. She is really mellow and good.

I hope that you get a job soon.

COOKIES!

Kim, so sorry it's taken me this long to give you the Oreo cookie recipe. So here you go...


(This picture is from some girl's blog because I haven't even taken a picture of mine... I think these look pretty close to how mine look, but you should take a picture and post it to compare.)

Oreo cookies: (recipe originally given to me by Robyn Bragger, who is coming to my house tonight for dinner!)
2 devils cake mixes
3/4 cups shortening
4 eggs
Mix these all together in a big bowl. I usually have to use my hands to mash it together good enough. I've burnt out pleanty of hand mixers trying to get it mixed. Then roll them into balls and place on a cookie sheet. Push them flat with a fork. Bake at 350 for 8-10 mins.

Frosting:
8 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup butter
1 lb powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
milk if needed
Sandwich these between two cool cookies. Enjoy!!!

p.s. I AM listening to Vampire Weekend as I write this. Oh, how I love them!!!!

The little things

It really is the little things that can make me so happy. Like having blinds up in my bedroom window when we have had towels hanging as blinds since we moved in. This is not a picture of my window but you get the idea.

I decided to share some music while I wait for the cookie recipe from you. What is taking so long? These are some bands I have been enjoying lately.

Broken Bells : If this sounds like the Shins it is because it is the lead singers side project

Republic Tigers : just really liking some of these songs

So you can listen to those while you post something onto our blog. I can't be the only one supporting this here. Pics of my house to come shortly.
