P.S.S.

We went to a matinee on Saturday to see the new Pirates movie. It's good, but not the best one so if you were debating whether or not to wait for it to come out on video...you can wait (now keep in mind this is strictly my opinion so don't come crying to me later because you decided to wait for it to come out on DVD and it ended up being your favorite of the 4...it won't, but I'm just sayin...)    :-)

Foo Fighters!

Last week my love and I got to see the Foo Fighters perform at the lovely BOK Center. This little last minute surprise made this girl very happy :-)

The FF's have been on my list of band's to see live for quite some time and I'm glad that I finally got to mark them off of my list.

They did not disappoint! Dave Grohl wailed on the guitar & vocals (of course) and Taylor Hawkins was a drum phenom. At one point Dave did a little accoustic set on a separate stage in the middle of the arena that rose up in the air & then segueyed into a guitar battle against his guitarist on a separate stage...sweet!



This is during the acoustic set

We were in a lovely little section to the left of the stage right by the speakers. It was really loud during some points so I reluctantly put in my ear plugs a few times towards the end (you're welcome mom and dad).




Me and the boy



Dave, Jo, me & Chad

They actually chose Tulsa as their kick-off point for the start of this tour promoting their new album (weird, but I'll take it). It was completely sold out. Who knew Oklahoma had so many FF fans?! Motorhead opened for them, but we weren't too gung-ho to see them so took our time enjoying the Mexican fare of Casa Laredo nearby. It's a perfect dinner spot for satisfying any pre-show munchies.

LOVED seeing all the people rockin' out!



Their stage was like a giant TV screen...lit up & showed video footage

On another note, SafetSuit (the band my brother plays drums in) is on a short tour with The Script! They met on the VH1 music cruise and decided that hitting the road together was a must in the near future. So glad it all worked out! Word on the street is the tour is already sold out, but if they happen to be coming near you check into it anyway! It will totally be worth the $ :-) I can't wait until the new SS album is out and they play somewhere near Tulsa (hopefully that will happen soon).

Love,

CHOCOLATE!

Seriously...do I need to give you any more explanation than that? ;-) I'm a big fan of chocolate, especially when it's paired with other things like caramel and coconut and other fun flavors. I REALLY love truffles!! Sometimes I happen to stumble on one or two or four and think to myself that they're too pretty to eat and I just want to sit and look at them...then I blink and pop them in my mouth one by one and become satisfied with the fact that I've made the right choice in the end. HA!

Well anyway, we (Chad & I and Jo & Dave) stumbled upon this GLORIOUS chocolate shop in the Brady District of downtown Tulsa called Glacier Confection. You HAVE to go! I'm not kidding, if you are a lover of chocolate, The Glacier will satifsy your little tastebuds :-)

This is a peanut butter cup. I know the picture is a bit deceiving, but this thing was MASSIVE! Chad & I halfed it and I still couldn't finish all of mine because it was so rich and yummy.

This is my coconut & milk chocolate truffle. Definitely larger in size than the truffles I make, but that coconut flavor is AMAZING!

Obviously I took this photo a little too late ;-) It WAS filled with beautiful, colorful, and D to the LICIOUS multi-flavored chocolates (most of them being Chad's as a matter of fact!).
The top left one is a chocolate filled caramel with sea salt.
I believe the one with yellow speckles was a mango habanero (you know that has Chad's name all over it!) AND he actually thought it had a bit of a kick to it! He NEVER thinks anything is hot enough and this delightful little thing left his lips tingling he said :-)
That beautiful orange colored one belonged to me and was a peach champagne flavor - yummmmmmm!

Those empty spaces were homes to: another, but different caramel, banana caramel (see, we LOVE caramel), key lime, a special chocolate made in Hawaii, another one with some kind of pepper (yes, it was Chad's) & then I can't remember!

They were AMAZING! Seriously it was like I was actually eating a banana dipped in chocolate & caramel. The flavors were so on point and the insides were so creamy that I could have eaten one of everything in the store & not even felt bad about it! Hahaha!

I cannot wait to go back and try more flavors. It will take me awhile, but I'm determined to try one of everything ;-) Oh, and the store owner is super nice (originally from the northeast) and has a vast amount of knowledge for all of you chocolate connoisseurs out there.

Here's a pic of the front of the box with logo & website info:

Happy eating!

D-

Ok so I was being a bit generous in giving myself a rating of a D- instead of a big fat F for totally slacking on the blog front! I'm BUSY people!! :-) I spend lots and lots of time updating our business and attorney social media sites instead of my own, therefore, when I go home, I avoid my computer like the plague.

I can't believe it's been 10 days, T-E-N DAYS! Since my last post. I'm so sorry :-( I know you've been crying buckets and buckets of tears. Will you ever forgive me? How can I make it up to you?

I hope you took my advice from my last post and downloaded 'Get Around This' by SafetySuit. They are getting TONS of great buzz about the newest single and I'm excited it's hit the airwaves. I'm trying not to be too jealous, but SS is currently on the VH1 music cruise jammin' with some great musicians. I REALLY need a tan, or even a sunburn, I would LOVE a sunburn right now. Sunburn = tan = happy Kelsey.

Chad and I were running yesterday after work and I was REALLY hoping to get some sun in the 40 minutes we were outside. Apparently that's not long enough for a sunburn, but when I squint my eyes at just the right angle I can ALMOST make out a tan line from my running tank. I even might have maybe held out my arms while running while uttering the words, 'Dear Jesus, please just give me a sunburn, thank you.'

Last Friday we went to our family circle group and celebrated Easter by having a seder meal. It was really cool (even though I didn't partake in any food - I was not feeling well AT ALL). I was however in charge of dessert and I made these little lovelies:

Chocolate cupcakes with homemade frosting that almost turns out to be kind of like the cream filling stuff (it's sooooo yummy) and then dipped in chocolate.

I meant to take pics of the whole process, but like I said, I wasn't feeling so good and the best I could do was a pic of the finished product sitting on my lap while we were driving to the Spencers :-)

For Easter lunch we met my family and Chad's parents at Macaroni Grill.

I snapped this pic of Everleigh not long after they arrived. She was NOT HAPPY! It was definitely past her normal napping time and she was finally calmed down after being given her milk. I'm not really sure why she thinks laying all the way back in her high chair was comfortable, but she stopped crying so I wasn't going to suggest to her otherwise :-)

E was wearing a lot of tulle, but it was pretty cute!

Grandma helps make everything better:

look, it's a 'small bow'! :-) She is such a cutie!!

Here's a pic that Afton's friend took of E in her Easter dress:

And she is actually one kid who LOVES the Easter Bunny!!

Might as well show you this one too...one of my FAVES!!

No she doesn't actually take baths with a bow in her hair, it just hadn't been taken off yet :-) How SWEET is that little face???!!

Hope you still love me even when I'm a slacker :-)

Fun Fact of the Day

There is a lot of TRANSITION happening in my life lately and I haven't had much time to devote to my beloved blog :-)

So as to not leave you feeling as though I've neglected you, my dear readers, completely, I am posting a fun fact for you to enjoy today.

The face of Uncle Sam, the fictional personification of the United States, was modeled after a door-to-door salesman from Canada.

Love ya! Happy Thursday!
