There have been many HIGH-LARIOUS moments in my internet life, but I can now unplug the wifi because finally, FINALLY, after 13 or so years of searching, I have found the funniest thing ever. 
NAILED IT!
NAILED IT!Funny bone, tickled!

BawbwaWawa-Factor
Anybody else crushing on these two older gentlemen?
Because I am! Despite today's rumors that LA Reid is going to sabotage Simon's girls and give them bad advice, I'm sticking with his nice guy act. So dreamy, these two.
I had decided long ago to avoid 'X-Factor' after they fired my true love, Cheryl Cole.
I tried to go without this show, but the heart wants what the heart wants. And it wanted X-Factor, badly. With the live shows starting tomorrow, I just wanted to put it out there that my money is on Drew.
This 14 year old angel is more mature than I could ever hope to be and her voice causes me to seizure. Seriously, she's amazing. And she's got Beiber Fever! I am assuming Beiber is going to make an appearance at some point and they'll sing a duet, as I silently cry, pretending there is something in my eye. Mom--I'm going to need you to stop slacking around because you're "retired" and vote for her since I can't do it here. I know you're getting older, but do not get confused and vote for these little hussies.
Tiah and Simone CANNOT win X-Factor! I'll have lost all faith in humanity should one of these girls win. Tiah is beyond pitchy and Simone is SO full of herself. Do not like.

A Treat. For You. It's Better Than Candy.
Suuup?! As suggested by the title, I have quite the treat for you. It's a look into something very personal to me, a place few dare to go. My purse!
This is the crap I have hanging from my shoulder day in and day out, and is now beginning to give me shoulder pain. It's totally worth it though. Who knows when I may need an empty bottle of Ibuprofin? What if not one, but two toothbrushes fail me? Well, I've got three just in case. What if Diego gets bored and he wants his favorite tiny blue plastic toy you see laying there. Well, I've got it! Dog owner of the year, I win.
I can't remember which magazine does this, maybe US Weekly, but you know how they take a look into what celebrities carry in their purses? We're also going to do that here! My purse is WAY better than a celebrity's though! If I remember correctly, one of the blogs to the right here did this awhile back, but she carried around a journal and nice things. Not here, you will not find that here! If at some point during this blog you have gotten the impression that I have my life pulled together, my apologies. I'm a hot mess.
(Even the table looks disgusting. Hold your judgement, that was a plastic patio table at the hotel we had been living in.)
This bacteria laden bag and brush are probably the reason my face is so busted and suffering from adult acne. You can't really see, but I only use the finest makeups such as, Cover Girl concealer, blush, and bronzer, Maybelline eye shadow and mascara, and Rimmel eye liner. Nothing but the best for me! This combination of makeup gives the perfect "caked on, face is more tan than your neck" look and I highly recommend it. I've rocked that look for years.
Example I. My makeup bag.

I promise to keep them out of the dogs reach, washed on gentle, and hung dry so that they are wearable for at least four years.

I Love Feta Cheese, It's My Best Thing
"I love Florence. It's my best thing."
-Deena Cortese, The Jersey Shore
-Deena Cortese, The Jersey Shore
I can't stop grubbing on feta cheese! This stuff is so delicious, it has taken top spot in my cheese repertoire, knocking goat cheese down to a measly number two. This specific brand comes straight to my mouth from Greece and won a cheese award in London, in 2005. All for $3 (euro). That is top notch cheese people!

Bolzan-o-Rama
It's official. I'm in love. My heart now belongs to Bolzano.
We've been here for 3 1/2 weeks now and I guess I'm starting to get the hang of it again. If you call eating bruschetta and two scoops of gelato every day, "getting the hang of it." We've been living in a hotel this whole time and it really hasn't been that bad, other than the lack of the world wide web. And they translated 16 & Pregnant into Italian, rather than leaving it in English and having Italian subtitles. *Side note: I didn't even know a girl was pregnant with twins the other day, that's how much I don't understand Italian! While not horrible, this hotel situation has kind of messed everything up. We're living out of our bags still and don't really feel at home, so I'm psyched to get moving into our real apartment. Once there, I'm just positive Derek will ask me to make our new house feel like a home. "Decorate, please. Here is my money, don't be shy," he'll say.
Bolzano is beautiful and looks like your quintessential European town! The downtown is the perfect little walking area with cobblestone streets and tons of cafes/bars with sidewalk seating. Pictures to come! There are some awesome grocery stores here, a really nice pet store, and even Mexican food! Although, I think they took the Mexican menu from Chili's. There are ribs and hamburgers with onion rings on top.......
We live amongst vineyards and apple orchards, which are currently all being harvested. The lady next door picks me dead flowers from random gardens. The neighbor man likes to put on his knee brace and climb onto his roof to pick berries and nuts, which he collects in his blue apron and then carries inside. When Derek and I go for coffee at 10:00 in the morning, the "more elderly" have already moved onto wine. When a German man has had a bit too much to drink and needs to go number one, he heads under the grape vines for a little privacy. If my server needs a smoke break, he takes a smoke break. Right next to my table. There are roosters and chickens walking amongst the vineyards and random cats everywhere. This is the life, you can have Chicago!

Our Second Home Sweet Home....
Tis the eve of our return to Italy and it couldn't have come at a better time. It seems like it was just yesterday that I weighed five pounds less and was packing to come back to Chicago. Without fail, the United States equals weight gain and sadly this morning, I found myself doing the ole yank and squat to get my jeans on. This didn't end so well. My jeans split. Very, very sad. Nothing says lose weight like torn pants!

It's My Mom's Birthday, And She'll Cry If She Wants To, Cry If She Wants To, You Would Cry To If It Happened To You
My poor mother has been telling anybody that would listen her "retirement countdown" for the past three years and it was suppose to be TODAY! It's about the most annoying thing I've ever had to hear and I personally couldn't wait for August 5, 2011 to arrive. Short story short, things got a little messed up at work and Marianne doesn't get to retire today. She has to wait until September 1. Sadly for me and probably every other person she comes in contact with for the the next month, we have to continue on listening to a "retirement countdown." However, this doesn't mean it's not still her birthday and she can't partaaaaaaaayyy!
Happy Birthday Marianne "No Middle Name" Carter!!!!
Oh Happy Day, Sister Act 2 Style
Oh Happy Day, my little lovers! It's been awhile, but I'm back. I thought since I was on vacation I would be back to my ole blogging self, but alas, that was not how it played out. Vacation went a little something like this......
I bet you can guess what else I failed at! Farmers' Market Week! (Remember that? No? You've never read my blog before and don't plan on coming back?) Well, I wasn't a complete failure, but I sure wasn't a success. I started off strong with a deep dish cherry pie! I've never made cherry pie and to be totally honest, I don't usually enjoy the texture of a cherry. But this baby was apparently baked in heaven and turned out perfect (other than being a bit runny). The crust was probably the best part. The directions have you fold it so that it is similar to a very large crostada. The second and last item prepared in honor of Farmers' Market Week was an also never attempted, blueberry pie! This pie was quite tasty despite being runny. (I am living with my in laws this summer and I'm beginning to think that Tina, my roommate/mother in law is sabotaging me with bad cornstarch! What else could the problem be?) Soooo, yeah, in my two weeks of baking, I made two pies.
- 7:00 is wake up time. I like mornings and I like coffee, plus I just don't like to sleep in anymore. What a waste of life!
- 7:15 rolls around and I think, "Gosh, I have the entire day to do whatever I want. The world is mine! What should I do? Let's make this a good one, Stacy."
- 9:00 Wouldn't want to miss Regis and Kelly.
- 10:00 Wouldn't want to miss The View.
- 11:00 Shower. The days not totally wasted.
- 12:30 I'm ready to leave and do things, but it's so sunny outside, I'm afraid my life is wasting away if I spend the day running errands or doing anything that's not getting a tan.
- 2:00 I haven't left the house yet because I can't make up my mind whether I should lay our or not.
- 4:00 I haven't left the house to do errands and I haven't laid out. But I am watching Weeds OnDemand and thinking, "This season seems dirtier."
- 4:28 Weeds is over and I think I may give it up. Not only is it dirtier, the storyline is whack and HIGHLY unbelievable.
- 4:30 I think, "But if I give up Weeds, I won't get to see Silas anymore."
- 7:00 The sun is slowly setting and my hair is getting greasy. Guess I can't go anywhere now.
- 9:15 I make a root beer float. Preferably with Diet A&W.
- 10:00 Tucked in and ready for Chelsea Lately.

Turning that frown upside down!
I started an Etsy shop! Remember how I "think" I take "cool" pictures at the markets? Well, I did some editing and had those suckers printed! You can now purchase up to 20 different 5x7 fruit and vegetable photos from Farmers' Market Delight! Please buy! I'll never live this down if nobody buys anything! Talk to you later!

Dude, that is like, so, Nautical!
Summer has got me feeling awfully nautical! Not nautical in the sense that I'm hanging out at pools and beaches, but clothig nautical. Blue, white, and gold - so Nautical! This look to me says, I'm a little preppy, but I'm also a little French. Although I don't think the French ever actually go for a nautical theme, the French do have a very distinct look and I'm working hard to make this look mine. (No, I will never stop talking about being French. How can I? It's who I am, it's who I was born to be.)
Let's see here...... I started off the summer with a pair of gold earrings. Bada bing, bada boom. You don't get much fancier than fake gold. Next, there was a shirt I badly wanted at a German Zara, but wasn't able to buy because I guess I hadn't done enough chores or something for the week. Instead I went with my second favorite look, a cardigan! (I bought a red cardigan on clearance and it's long enough to cover up underwear lines. Win, win.) Anyways, the nautical shirt I didn't get to buy really put my wheels into motion and before I knew it, it's all I could think about! I've gone on to buy a blue and white striped cardigan, blue plaid Sperry's, another fake gold piece of jewelry (I obviously only buy the finest things in life), a super cute little blue and white striped "dress" that is not a dress at all, but a long top, and I received a blue and white striped bag for my birthday! I am looking gooooood this summer!
The nautical theme has now consumed my whole life and I have begun to vision a home in which a little boys room is decorated with this look and/or a bathroom!

Sky Rockets In Flight, Farmers' Market Delight
Two weeks off + one chubby girl = baking!
The family I nanny for is on vacation for the next two weeks, so I have designated this time to be Farmers' Market Desserts week(s). This is based "loosely" on the cookbook, Farmers' Market Desserts by Jennie Schacht. (I say "loosely" because it obviously totally copies the name. Did you pick up on that? You don't care? Okay.)
This cookbook couldn't be more perfect and helpful! She tells how to deal with different fruits and vegetables, what fruits and veggies are in season at certain times, and of course, has many recipes that look amazing. I've tried to get to as many farmers' markets as I could this summer so I can eat 'locally' and 'seasonally,' but mostly just so I can take 'cool' pictures. Also, this is what French woman do, so you know I'm on top of that. If French women love fresh markets, so does this girl!
I don't end up buying all that much food when I'm there because I think to myself, "Now Stacy, are you really going to end up making Gwynth Paltrow's kale chips from that $12 bunch of kale you just bought? Do you even like kale?" I think we all know the answer to both of those. However, I really do enjoy myself at the farmers' markets and it's nice to see that not all the food we eat is super manufactured and mass produced! DEATH TO CORPORATE FARMING! (Fyi, most of your USDA approved 'organic' food is not even slightly organic and you'd be better off buying 'non-organic, but local.') I highly recommend getting out to a farmers' market if one is near you! Berry season is almost over, but peach season has only just begun! And don't even get me started on the tomatoes, don't even get me started. If nothing else, there's usually a coffee stand and muffin/donut/pastry stand set up!
Now I will bless you with visions from the markets! Is there anything more beautiful than fresh fruits or veggies? Heavens no, as Mother Marianne would say. ***Pictures had to be edited because I now sell them on Etsy! If you would like to see these little gems, you can visit my Etsy shop, Farmers' Market Delight! Hope you like!***
And if you're totally against all of the other pictures, there's always this guy.......
I'll let you know what I've cooked up at the end of the two weeks. I just spent $20 on blueberries, so my fingers are crossed this isn't a total flop!

Big Spendaaaa/Mo' Money, Mo' Problems
Derek and I were recently talking about how I'm not exactly the smartest girl in the world. You know, I'm okay with that. Because I like to laugh and talk loudly however, and have blond hair, I think people sometimes assume I'm not smart at all. *Newsflash* I'm highly intelligent! I have come up with a genius plan to make it look as though, at 29 years of age, I am fiscally responsible!
**GENIUS ALERT**GENIUS ALERT**
I surround myself with those who are also in high amounts of debt, such as myself, and then we all just act like it's normal and EVERYONE buys EVERYTHING with credit cards! I think that's why I've always enjoyed working at restaurants. Every single person there is a hot mess, but in our little restaurant world, it's okay. Accepted even! It's probably also why I like to think I'm "in" with the "artistic" crowd (even though I'm most definitely not) because they usually have nothing going for them, other than their newest midcentury oil and watercolor painting on cork that resembles VanGogh during the Renaissance. Like ANYBODY in the ENTIRE WORLD wants to hang that in their living room!
I share this information with you only to tell you that I truly have done something responsible! I saved a good chunk of cash from our wedding money and plan on buying a lovely little set of dinnerware with it. I'm not talking china that will be displayed in a china cabinet along with porcelain figures, but never ever used (Mom, I'm talking to you). I'm talking china-esque dinnerware that makes you feel fancy and definitely makes the food taste better, but is for everyday use. I've had a hard time really finding anything because dinnerware isn't exactly my forte (that 'e' is to be pronounced) and of course I have a very specific picture in my head.
Now who here likes Anthropologie? Silly question! We ALL love Anthropologie! As I mosied through the store a few weeks back, I came across two dinnerware gems and let me tell you, it was love at first sight. One is this:

Goo goo, gaa gaa!! I'm not usually the biggest fan of the 'fleur de lis' because it often times screams, "Look, I'm French, but not really, but am because I have a fleur de lis." The 'fleur de lis' however is extremely subtle when you see this collection in person. And it has a similar look to distressed wood that's been painted white.
Okay, second off is this collection: (I can only copy the pics that use the 'mint' color, but I would actually go with the 'grey'.)
Since you have an idea of what I like now, if you know of any places that have dinnerware similar to this, please let me know! And as always, I thank you for your time. It's been a ruuulllll pleasure!

Happy 4th of July Americans!!

Schmina Tey
Lately, it seems as though people have been coming out of the woodwork, OUT OF THE WOODWORK!, asking what is on my summer reading list. You know what I say to those people? What's NOT on my summer reading list? Am I right or am I right? Chuckle, chuckle. If the Morton Grove Public Library has it, this girl is reading it.
I normally prefer to read non-fiction, specifically history, because I like to learn. Knowledge is power! Am I right or am I right? However, I chose at the beginning of the summer to make this a 'Fiction Summer' and I've been sticking to my word (until this past week when a World War II book crept in there). Thankfully, Tina Fey's 'Bossypants' doesn't seem to fall into any category whatsoever. Even biography! It's nothing but a bunch of words that make up so much funny-ness, you won't be able to stop lol'ing! Not the lol that you write in a text or email just because, but a real LOL that leaves you in good spirits the rest of the day. (And I suppose it is a biography.)
Tina Fey is FU-UU-NNY! Like, this book, is so good you may even reread it. I can't help but notice that Tina and I have quite a bit in common. These common traits range from physical ailments to the fact that she must have lived right by where I lived in Rogers Park last summer. I highly, highly recommend reading this, I was done in one day!
*Side note* I was so happy to be reminded, by Tina, about the 30 Rock episode where Jenna is starring in a movie called 'The Rural Juror.' Pure comedy!!

Awards Season
Very Good Husband Award goes to: Derek Edwardson!
Very Good Sister-In-Law Award goes to: Kim Edwardson!
They both ordered me one of the burlap bags, from White Apple Threads on Etsy, I talked about a few posts ago for my birthday! So thoughtful! I love them both, but am going to have to send one back because I don't really need two of almost the same exact bag. I choose to keep...... Kim's bag. Thanks sister!
