COOKIE EXPLOSION!

The Start of the Madness....  I felt like baking.. and when I do I turn into my mother. I make enough to feed the city of New York. -haha-

Today's Special:

Chocolate - Chocolate Chip Mint and Chocolate - White Chocolate Chip Mint

1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 10 ounce bag of mint or mint+chocolate chips (about 1 1/2 cups)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla.
3. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Stir into butter mixture until well blended.
4. Mix in the chips. Drop by a rounded tablespoon onto an ungreased baking sheet. [I like to use a small cookie scoop and a half sheet pan lined with a silpat or parchment paper]
5. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or just until set. Cool on pan for about 2 minutes then cool completely on a wire rack.

Leading A Second Life - Dedicated My Ass

I have always found it funny that a lot of people live a second life. For Instance you have a person who claims they are Buddhist and run Positive websites and community service programs but on the other end of the stick I've seen that person do Coke lines off of Pool tables, bang out "crew" dudes, and to have them backing their positive websites when they are the most insensitive, uncharismatic, bullies, rip off artist, and Ass Clowns.  On top of that the person is truly insensitive,  and rude themselves.  I honestly don't believe they have a Center.

 I thought Buddhist were suppose to be positive people, happy, one with earth and life.. Doing away with negativity and not surrounding themselves with that.... I dunno.. People suck!


I just needed to vent!

Friends.

Friends  always give me a chuckle here and there. Especially when I can catch them doing this strange and odd. Other times when it seems like their good / sweet side is showing through. So I figured I'd show case a couple of shots of them... Love em all!

horrible 4th of July turns into one hell of a week.

  So everyone had asked what I had done for the holiday...I can tell you I did nothing. I was so warn out from working at the new store that I was like there is no way that I am going out. 

 Monday comes..... and I walk out to my car having a huge Dent in the side.. I had been, Side Swiped.. Yea you heard me right... SIDESWIPED!!! and all I gotta say to that is jkjgsodgjlsdgjgslkgjd 

But the best part of the week thus far was seeing the below guy,, Fear and Loathing on an imitation Vespa! hunter S. Whatthe.... -haha- 

12 hour days on Concrete left to clean up after the union!

So for the past couple of weeks I have been Merchandising my new store and training new associates.  I have 300 new babies in training.. Oh my God. Some of the people I question as to what upper management was thinking when hiring them and there are a couple I thank with every last breath that I have to have them..  It's a weird area where my store opened up..one area is just plan ghetto and the other half is 9 million dollar homes..  I just really can't wait to see what demographic they will bring into my store. 

I spent 2 hours doing  hand written schedules with my manage because staff works isn't up. To lead too people complaining that they are on 6 day work weeks to get the store up and ready before opening day.  really People GET OVER IT! It's work and it's OVERTIME the once and only time you are allowed to have it. 

So to bring you to the picture above.. After working the last two weeks 12 hour days on my feet for almost 99% of the time on hard concrete.. They asked if I would clean up after the Electricians (Local 3) union's Crap... REALLY! Did they for get their contract that at the end of the day they are suppose to clean up their stuff put all their equipment away and put all material away. So I start cleaning up and one of the Foremen come in and go, "don't touch my stuff!"  I looked at him and nicely stated, " Ask me in correct English with out the union talk/ attitude and maybe then we will talk"  He continued to get lippy with me and I went back right at it with him letting him know that I am a union-man's wife and I can talk the talk just as much as he can. He stomped off and I cleaned-up.  Need mind you this was my 13th hour of work. ahhhhhhh. 

all this walking around is making me need new sneakers. mine are officially on life support! Nike Shox 8.5's I need you!!!!!!! all black!!!!!!! Come to me...
