A taste of the Irish for my St. Patty's party

Guest post written by Mitchell Byers

When I decided to host a St. Patrick's Day party, I didn't want to just decorate my place in green and then serve beer. I wanted to still decorate my place, but do the refreshments and drinks right by serving some actual Irish stuff besides just green beer.

I'm no expert on Irish cuisine though, so I spent a little time looking up what I could serve within reason. While I was doing that I came across some info aboundTEXASELECTRICITYPROVIDERS and after I looked through it a little bit, I decided to sign up for a new energy provider.

I did find some really good ideas for refreshments and drinks. I'm going to be serving Guinness beer,! along with drinks made from Jameson Irish whiskey and Bailey's Irish cream. I thought about doing green beer too, but I thought that would be too cheesy. I'm also going to make little corned beef finger sandwiches. I think theyÕll be really good. But then of course weÕll be serving some green cupcakes too, just because I use really any excuse to make and eat some cupcakes.

Favorite Fashion Show

Brought to you by our friend, Isiah Williams

I finally caught the flu that has been going around work and have been out of commission for several days now. Luckily this gave me ample time to catch up on all the TV shows that I have been neglecting lately. I started with day time soap operas but quickly grew bored of those. Luckily I have direct star tv so I have so many channels to choose from and eventually came across a What Not To Wear marathon. This was a total jackpot moment for me because I love this show! Suddenly a sick day was not looking so bad.

There are so many reasons I love this show that I do not know if I can even name them but I can try. First off I love the hosts. I think Stacy and Clinton are not only hilarious but they play off each other so well. They have a chemistry that is hard to fake and they it does not help that they are always dressed impeccably. I do not really care about men's clothes but even I know that Clinton looks good and Stacy's outfits are to die for. I also love that they always include a haircut, color and makeup application. Without all the added bonuses the final result just would not be as dramatic. Everyone on this show always comes out looking so great.

Holy Smoke

Holy Smoke! It's been over a year since I have updated this blog but let me say that I have been super busy with life. In the past year I have grown up and grown in many things like I have become more independent and I have officially been through a divorce. I can say that it's nothing to be proud of but I am so happy that I am single. yes I might be a single mom but it feels good to not be under any man right now and their controlling ways. I am free to do what I please when I please. :) I never knew that I would be able to have this much fun but I do and I'm very blessed that I have a family and a daughter who look up to me and who I can go to for support when needed.

Another thing that I have been into is I've gone back to school and while its not easy it's definitely worth it. I know that I will be able to say that in two years I will have my Associates Degree in Medical Office Administration. :) yes! Something to be very proud of and something to show my child that it can be done. No matter what is happening in your life.

Now onto the other subject of men, I have met a few but it never felt right to be with them. I still have a life but sometimes I wish that I did have a man who was in my life right now to help me through some things. But that's a different story right now and probably TMI!!! Anyways, I hope that you all have a great day and have fun!

Once In A Blue Moon Book

I was very lucky to receive an advance copy of "Once In A Blue Moon" by Eileen Goudge who is the author of "The Diary" and "Domestic Affairs". This book is an awesome book to read. I couldn't put it down once I picked it up. The book is about two sisters who have had a tough life as it is because one of the girls is left to raise her younger sister. Something that honestly you don't want to have the chance to do since she herself was just a child too. The girls were adopted and have grown up and needless to say they are reunited with each other after 30 years of being seperated. The girls are very different from each other and they then embark on a little journey through time and life. So sit back and enjoy the ride with reading this very emotional yet invigorating book. I really enjoyed reading this book and I am going to go to the local library and read more of Eileen's books that she has written. I really like her writing style for sure! Thank you to One2One Network for allowing me to review this advance copy of the book.

The book "Once In A Blue Moon" is out in all bookstore on October 6th. You can also preorder the book as well through Amazon. You should also check out Eileen's Facebook page and she's even on twitter! I'm following her are you?

Rock of Ages CD Review

A couple weeks ago I received a CD in the mail and had to listen to it right away. I love getting new cds to review I guess because I love music, singing and dancing to it. Well the cd that I got to review was called Rock of Ages. It's a new broadway show that is showing up in New York City that I'd love to go see. I love broadway shows I admit but this one is awesome. It has a lot of the good 80's songs that I love listening to. Like one of the songs is We're Not going to take it by Twisted Sister. The only thing its not sung by the original artist and the songs are well done. I have to say that thanks to my ex I actually enjoy listening to 80's hairbands (but don't tell him that. LOL) I highly suggest this cd and even to go see the show. If the cd is this good I can only imagine how good the show is. Here is what songs are on the CD:

Just Like Paradise / Nothin' But A Good Time
Sister Christian
We Built This City / Too Much Time On My Hands
I Wanna Rock
We're Not Gonna Take It
Heaven/More Than Words / To Be With You
Waiting For A Girl Like You
Wanted Dead Or Alive
I Want To Know What Love Is
Cum On Feel The Noize / We're Not Gonna Take It (Reprise)
Harden My Heart / Shadows Of The Night
Here I Go Again
The Final Countdown
Any Way You Want It / I Wanna Rock (Reprise)
High Enough
I Hate Myself For Loving You / Heat Of The Moment
Hit Me With Your Best Shot
Can't Fight This Feeling
Every Rose Has Its Thorn
Oh Sherrie
The Search Is Over
Don't Stop Believin
You can purchase this cd here!

Yanni Voices Album Review

Well I was recently sent a copy of the Yanni Voice Album to review. When I first received the album I went ahead and popped it into the CD player of my computer. I was a little surprised that at first my reaction was good and then when it started getting further into the CD I really didn’t care for some of the songs on there. They were either way too slow or they put me to sleep. I do like the cd but it’s not my favorite. I know that my favorite singers on this album happen to be Leslie Mills and Ender Thomas. Along with the CD came a bonus DVD. I played that and actually enjoyed it. It turned out to be much better than I thought it would be. Plus it did show Yanni who is a great man in all. I like his songs and enjoy listening to them when I am trying to go to sleep. They are peaceful sounding which in all I sometimes need to settle down before going to sleep. Overall the Yanni Voices CD is not so bad if you like classical, relaxing music, but I would not suggest listening to this in the car, at least for me that is.

Life

I can't believe how much my life has changed in the past year. I went from really not knowing who I was to knowing and believing in myself. It's kind of crazy but I am happy where I am right now except for a few things. Today I applied for a part time job and am kind of praying that I will get it. Now onto find a good tanning salon so that I can tan this year. I have some extra money from my birthday that I'd like to use that on tanning.

I hope you all will continue to visit this blog. :) Stay tuned...
