10. I have two cats that are both sixteen years old – and they STILL try to climb up my tree and knock it over. We have to anchor it to the wall now.
9. Book alert! Not releasing until next summer, but a book all the Smexy girls want! The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang. Blurb:
Stella Lane thinks math is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases–a job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with, and way less experience in the dating department than the average thirty-year-old.
It doesn’t help that Stella has Asperger’s and French kissing reminds her of a shark getting its teeth cleaned by pilot fish. Her conclusion: she needs lots of practice–with a professional. Which is why she hires escort Michael Phan. The Vietnamese and Swedish stunner can’t afford to turn down Stella’s offer, and agrees to help her check off all the boxes on her lesson plan–from foreplay to more-than-missionary position…
Before long, Stella not only learns to appreciate his kisses, but crave all of the other things he’s making her feel. Their no-nonsense partnership starts making a strange kind of sense. And the pattern that emerges will convince Stella that love is the best kind of logic…
Oooooh. Amazon. Head to Bustle for an excerpt. Thanks Tori for the heads up!

8. This has made the rounds of the internet this week. It makes me giggle every time I see it. And a lot of people have responded with their own awkward single pics.
7. This gives me anxiety. I love a giraffe. But maybe not when I’m having my english muffin and coffee? I don’t know guys. They have slimy tongues.
6. Two animals I have enjoyed this week are Beatrix and Midge – I first saw a compliation of their antics on Reddit, but then I found their Instagram page and they are so cute!! The dog and cat love each other – and also play together! The cat in the video above makes me giggle so much. My dogs and cats do not have this relationship. LOL

5. This bearded Captain America is keeping me warm and cozy during these cold winter days. You wear that beard reeeeeeeaallll well sir.
4. Guys. I’m ALL about the royals. I can’t even deal with how happy this makes me. Kate and Wills are due in April??? A May wedding??? I must cancel all spring plans. My husband and two sons have had to sit at the dinner table for the past three nights and listen to me talk about this. LOL.
3. Guys – I don’t know. Do we need upside down trees? Is there a point?? Can’t we just stay with the tradition of having a tree standing upright? Am I an old fuddy-duddy????
2. I am a chocolate martini snob. I like my chocolate martinis rich and dark and verrrry chocolaty. This is the best and it will be made for Christmas eve festivities. It’s called the Chocolate Blitzen and I found it from the Tipsy Bartender in 2014. Recipe:
CHOCOLATE BLITZEN
1/2 oz. (15ml) Vodka
1/2 oz. (15ml) Dark Creme de Cacao
1 oz. (30ml) Baileys Irish Cream
1 1/2 Cup Chocolate Ice Cream
Chocolate Sprinkles
2 oz. (60ml) Melting Chocolate
1. Rim glass with hot melted chocolate and dip in chocolate sprinkles.
2. Blend vodka, creme de cacao, baileys and ice cream. Do not blend the ice cream completely to a liquid. Let it maintain some of it’s thickness.
3. Pour into chocolate rimmed glass and add sprinkles on top.
The ice cream is an important part of this. Omg it’s so good. And you must put the melted chocolate on the rim. I make my husband make them because they are a lot of work. LOLOLOL. I’m a nice wife like that.
1.This weekend we go to our annual Breakfast with Santa at our local fire station. I make my boys (13 and 11) sit NEXT to santa on the couch for a picture (he is a reallllly good santa) and they are already complaining about it. LOL. Then we go get our tree and decorate it! And have egg nog! Happiness!! Hope you all have a great weekend!!!
Tori says
I kind of want to try the upside down tree. :)
Mandi says
In the Upside Down World?? ;)
Imzadi says
Yes to Chris Evans, Captain America and the beard. Love each of them and together they are perfection.
Imzadi says
It’s no wonder that the beard is the single most talked thing in the most viewed trailer of all time .
Imzadi says
Damn, I always forget something:
http://www.darkhorizons.com/infinity-war-the-most-watched-trailer-ever/
Additionally social media research firm Fizziology has revealed that it wasn’t the final slow mo running shot, the appearance of the Guardians of the Galaxy, or even the arm hair Spidey-sense that was the most talked about element of the trailer.
That honor went to Captain America’s beard which scored nearly four times as many mentions as other scenes in the trailer. The verdict also seems to be that the beard is hot.
Mandi says
Wow – that is crazy about his beard. LOLOL. It’s like when Thor cut his hair, but this is way better
Mandi says
We all need that beard right now.
Helyce says
I’m not even going to say what that upside down tree made me think…
Kini says
You should tell us Helyce what the upside down tree makes you think of. :) This is a safe space. lol
Mandi says
Yes, Helyce – I would like to know in detail what you are thinking ;)
Kareni says
I’d happily take the Blitzen sans the vodka, creme de cacao, and Baileys. Just give me a spoon!
Mandi says
Agree!
Jennifer Estep says
Infinity War looks sooo good. I’m not usually a big fan of beards, but I’ll make an exception for Chris Evans. LOL.
