Apparently we have SOMETHING in common ’cause I’m dancin’ too!
And it is time to post my Friday Favorites!
Favorite # ONE
This has been a stressful week with all the drama caused by Hurricane Irma on Sunday and Monday. Luckily the generator kept the news up and running during the entire event. The channels were limited, but my favorite weatherman made it bearable.
Thank you Richard Nunn!

Hurricane Irma Cookies
On the subject of Hurricane Irma… this week’s meteorological conditions brought about some irrational behavior [as it is unlike me to binge on carbs]. However, unlike me as it was, for our mini-evacuation, I packed mostly malevolent processed products.
Reason being? Mostly due to the ease with which these items travel and stay edible over several hours/days. Although I’m now paying the price for it, we enjoyed little sandwiches, pretzels, kettle chips, turkey jerky, and my very own homemade Hurricane Irma Chocolate Chip Cookies.
This is how I made those cookies…
Cream together:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
Add into mix, one at a time:
2 large eggs
Add:
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Combine together:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
Then add to wet ingredients.
Stir in:
1/2 (12-ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 (12-ounce) bag milk chocolate chips
Bake at 375°F on a parchment lined pan for 12 minutes
And voilà… a new addition to my menu’s “Recipe” page
Favorite # THREE
Smock off the Shoulder Top
It was ordered last month, and just received a few days ago…
My new Smock off the Shoulder top from Venus comes in sizes XS – XL and is adorable!
This bohemian style blouse has alternating floral and animal prints and includes a faux tassel drawstring at the waist.
The top is smocked at the bust and shoulders and finished with trendy bell sleeves.
Just in time for fall… which is happening next week!
Favorite # FOUR
My sense of humor is more bizarre than any other I know… with the exception of my sister. Looking through some of the memes in Pinterest, l came across a new one that I had to add to my “Very Funny” board
Maybe it was because I was so tired I couldn’t think straight, but this one made me LoL!
Favorite # FIVE
I Want My 80s
on MTV
Since LB had to work late, Elvis and I sat down in front of the tv and ended up watching classic music videos from the 80s. When LB came home, he was happy to join in.
I remember the first time I experienced MTV. It was 1983 and we had one of those cable TV controllers that slide from channel to channel.
The first music video I ever saw was Michael Jackson’s Thriller. What an inauguration, right?
Tonight we have watched performances by Billy Joel, ACDC, Madonna, Debarge, Cheap Trick, Huey Lewis and the News, Aerosmith, Will Smith, Bad English and Guns & Roses.
Take me Back!
…or Down
to Paradise City!
