Superbowl Snack-Down

Source Hello My High Achievers! I don't normally watch football or make my own viewing party snacks but this year I'm doing both!  I'm super excited to see the Seahawks and the Broncos play at a friend's house this year.  I don't normally follow any teams but ever since my trip to Seattle, earlier this month, I've been following the Seahawks. Their fan base is impressive, super-supportive and includes members of my own family....

Hello, Can I get a show of hands?  How many of you read books?  Like, love reading, can't put them down, been reading since the first grade?  Closeted and not so closeted bibliophiles,  Hardcore ROD - Read Or Die (an awesome anime)? If you are like me, you read almost everything.  I know we all have our favorite authors, and I would like to showcase this in my first ever Authorgasm.  First off, you gotta know I do...

Dear Sexy Underwear

In preparation for Valentine’s Day or S.A.D. (Single Awareness Day) I have written a letter to my favorite pair of sexy underwear.  Don’t worry, this is suitable for work.  My sexy underwear is neither racy nor obscene but probably better suited to a mother of four, trying to come to terms with her perceived “ruined” body.   Let’s read on shall we? Ahem…. *whips on reading glasses* *imagines its James Earl Jones reading this* Mmm....yes.... Dear...

Nerd Rant #1 - Not the Catwoman we need, but the Catwoman we deserve...

I feel the need to show my nerd side today.  I am a closeted Batman nerd and have been since 1992, when Batman Returns showed in theaters. Batman is my Star Wars, Danny Elfman is my John Williams, Tim Burton my George Lucas. I was too young to watch any of the original trilogy of Star Wars in the theaters.  I came of age when the second Batman film was showing and later when Batman: The Animated Series became my Bible, my jam, my...

The Year of the (Dark) Horse

Source Hello dear readers.  According the Chinese, 2014 is the Year of the Horse.  Last year was the Year of the Snake.  Expect to see lots of horse and riding related accessories pop up this month. Horses are prized as symbol of strength in the western world but they are not quite my spirit animal.  One of my favorite songs from last year is Katy Perry's "Dark Horse".   The lyrics speak to me a lot and a dark horse...

The City

I spent a day with my dude cousin, in the city of Seattle. We toured his school, with a massive Chihuly displayed in the entrance and then hit the EMP Musuem nearby. If you find yourself in Seattle,  I definitely recommend it.  We toured Jimmi Hendrix in London exhibit, and the Fantasy exhibit next. The exhibit is a collection of manuscripts from The Lord of the Rings and A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) series. There were also...

Chihuly Fooly

I took a day trip into downtown Seattle with my grandpa, to hit up the Chihuly museum. For those just getting into art museums and whatnot,  you will come across a Chihuly piece at some point. Prized for the amazing things he can make with blowing glass, Dale Chihuly is one of Seattle's favorite sons and his pieces are displayed all over the world. My mom caught an outdoor exhibit back home and fell in love with his massively expensive pieces....

Go Tell On It On the Mountain

After spending a day of quality time, visiting and catching up with family, we went for lunch on Crystal Mountain. I had to bundle up to take the gondola up but it was worth it for the view. We got to cross an item off my grandma's bucket list and I'm so glad to be a part of it. After allowing me to take as many pictures as I wanted, we headed back down and stopped for shakes. Hahahah. Of course I didn't say no to one! Enjoy my ninjas! Marg Peach...

The Trip

The trip took all day long. Flights were delayed 3 hours all over the country due to the storms in the Northeast. Finally made my destination at 2:30 AM. Eh, it happens. I did get a bomb ass cookie on the layover in Phoenix.  Chocolate chip with french sea salt. Silver lining. Love, Marg Provisions and snacks ...
