It's about time, Top Model

There are so many amazing African models. Top model has been going on what, 10 years? And they only now start a Africa's Top Model. Well, it is about time.

So excited that it is in English so I can watch! (If only they would subtitle in English the ones from non-English speaking countries...)

Cheesecake Cookies

So recently I decided to try a box mix of cookies for sugar cookies with some extra ingedients...I made the cookie mix according to the package. But I also had leftover cream cheese for cheesecake I did not make. I decided to add 1 of the packages of cream cheese which is 8 ounces, 1 egg, and a little bit of extra sugar. I mixed that with the sugar cookie mix then I baked the sugar cookies according to the sugar cookie package. The cookies came out very good - fluffy sugar cookies, very tasty, I recommend trying. I'm looking forward to trying this with other cookie mixes. No pics this time because they went so quick!

american football

I have never been much of a football fan, maybe because I didn't grow up with a good team. But it is fun that my local team is doing well and people around here are happy. I'm mainly enjoying the little traditions we're making....

Before the Ravens' first playoff game this year, my husband got an Avengers Nick Fury mini muggs figure. He liked the little guy so much, he talked about getting more. So I got him Hawkeye. He put them both as protection in front of a bobble head figure of the quarterback, Joe Flacco right before that first playoff game.

When the Ravens won, we decided we needed another Avenger for the next playoff game. My husband really wanted Thor next.

And they won! Guess what that meant...Avengers Assemble - almost. The hubbs doesn't care much for the Hulk figure, so we just got Captain America and Iron Man. Guess that makes the quarterback the Hulk.

So no the Ravens are headed for the superbowl, with protection ;)

Cute Holiday Surprise

I got a cute gift that I had to share. This little guy is incognito....

 What could it be? Would a friend send me coffee from across the globe?

It has a packing date... Hmmm, check out those silly instructions!

 I'm thinking there's a notebook hidden in this. Time to open it up!

 How cute! World Domination, very fitting. ;)

 All unwrapped and ready  - even has a hidden back pocket. Looks like I need some plans to write.

For now, maybe a few doodles (no lines - I can do what I want).

Thanks, Jelita!!
