Ducks!

I found a funny website today!

http://www.thispeanutlookslikeaduck.com

Now we all know I love little duckies. If you've ever been in my bathroom (that I so lovingly share with my roommate) you understand. The collection started with one tiny yellow duck wearing a lei. She sat beside my sink for a while until one day I was given an adorable collection of 4 valentines day ducks (including one with a top hat and roses for his lady). I can't remember which duck came next but it turned into a funny gift for every occasion and thus, I have ended up with a number of little yellow duckies in funny outfits (one applying lipstick, one going on a hike ... you get the idea) and a poster of ducks to hang on the wall. Needless to say I currently have quite the collection (including all 7 of the Disney themed ducks I bought in the parks during my time there). So when I found this website today I couldn't help but laugh! My favorite is the tomato that looks like a duck.

Party time!

How funny are these party cups?

"Sandwich Search"

So we have officially entered our lyrics to the best song ever - "Sandwich Search" - into the Subway and NC State Fair Footlong Song Challenge. If our lyrics are chosen we will audition to sing them at the fair for a chance to win a $500 Subway gift card (aka Subway for life). Here are the lyrics:

Well I walked around the corner just to see what I could find,

Cause the rumble in my tummy's all that occupied my mind.

And as my eyes looked down the street just to see what they could see

They fell upon the Subway store an' it made me a whole lotta happy!

A whole, a whole, a whole lotta happy with the five dollar foot longs.

A whole, a whole, a whole lotta happy with the five dollar foot longs.

Well I went out to the fair in town, I was lookin' for a tasty treat

Cause there ain't no better place to find me summin' very good to eat.

But I looked up and down and all around - deepfried was all I could see

Until I saw that bright yellow sign an' it made me a whole lotta happy!

A whole, a whole, a whole lotta happy with the five dollar foot longs.

A whole, a whole, a whole lotta happy with the five dollar foot longs.

A whole, a whole, a whole lotta happy with the five dollar foot longs.

NC State Fair Contest

Today, I mailed in my submissions for the North Carolina State Fair contests. I am going to submit a piece of jewelry and 2 scrapbooking pages (travel/vacation and pets). I'm almost sure that a scrapbook page with Lenny's adorable self on it will win me a blue ribbon. We'll see! If you want to submit something, you have to mail the form in by Friday. Good luck!

recipe: The First Day of Fall chili

It's the first day of fall and it's raining outside - this weather calls for the perfect pot of chili. Delich! Here's what I put in mine (sort of a southwestern, chunky style): onions, garlic, keilbasa sausage, corn, black beans, diced chili tomatoes, diced regular tomatoes, medium salsa, green peppers, and lots of spices. It was served over rice and fantastic (plus I had enough to share with friends and have leftovers)! Happy first day of fall!
