you topless mermaid bitch.

hope you all had a good weekend. 

i wish i could give you all a great big hug for putting up with my 'videos' recently. 

thanks for indulging me.

i promise you this: 

future vlogs will have a purpose. 

at least, a purpose deeper than introducing 

you to my shirt. 

which i returned, btw. 

hilarious, but not really wearable. 

turns out i just don't have the pleated, acid-washed jeans the shirt demanded to be worn with. sads.

thanks, old navy, i'll take my sixteen bucks back.

yeeeah.

anywho. i have some goodies to share today, 

in lieu of hugs.

its hot as hades here in the atl, and if i'm having my coffee out of the house (read: out of the a/c)

then i find myself ordering iced or frozen bevvies more and more often. 

i also find that i want to slap myself in the face for paying so much for a coffee. 

if it had booze in it, (or came with a hot dog) sure...

you topless mermaid bitch! 

i lovehate you! i hatelove you!

so i figured i'd whip up some frappuccinos at home. 

i found a sweet tutorial that gives great 
step-by-step instrucciones.

yay!

go to money saving mom here to check it out!

she uses a magic bullet, and i don't have one of those (well, not the kind you'd find in your kitchen anyway)

so i just used my trusty blender. 

yum.

i always seem to enjoy things more when they're set to a killer soundtrack.

take garden state, for example. 

one of my favorite soundtracks.

or pretty in pink, the sound of music, out of africa; what would these incredible films be without their soundtracks?

perhaps they would look something like this:

ok, maybe there are a few discrepancies: london/africa, austria/germany, whatever.

she does look pretty in pink, though.

regardless, you get the idea.

today, my marenting duties are being done to the sounds of the new coldplay.

you can download it on itunes for $1.29.

or, be a smartie pants (like moi)

and get it on amazon for $0.69! 

sock it to the man, monday.

check back later for a new feature i'm calling

wwyd

(what would YOU do). 

i have some things that need your attention.
