The Roddy Bride Recipes

That's right, I created a new blog. Don't worry, the Roddy Bride blog is definitely not going away. The new blog, The Roddy Bride Recipes, is a great new addition.

What is The Roddy Bride Recipes blog?

The mister and I are pretty much self taught cooks. We both love to cook together but I LOVE to bake too.  Because of our mutual interest in food, I decided to create a blog with some of our favorite recipes that we have tried and liked from family members, friends, cookbooks, magazines or the internet. We are even looking for some of my fabulous followers to submit some of their favorite recipes for us to try. Just think of this as an online recipe book.

So if you are interested in cooking or baking or just want to try a new recipe, come check the blog out. Please note as this is a new blog, it will constantly be growing so be sure to check back for the latest and greatest recipes.

Much Love,

The Joys of a Monday...

Gotta LOVE Mondays...OK, maybe not. It is probably my least favorite day of the entire week. Just the idea that the weekend is over and it is back to the grind is hard to like. Don't get me wrong, I am truly thankful to have a job during this rough time in our economy but I truly prefer Fridays better :)

Anyway, my hubby and I woke up to a loud noise around 4:45am only to find out a few transformers on our block had exploded. GREAT!! Now that means I will have no hot water and no electric to get ready for work and unfortunately since I get ready at the crack of dawn it is completely dark. With flashlight in hand, I gathered all my clothes, styling products and breakfast so that I can rush to my parents house to take a shower. Ah, it is so great to have family less then 5 mins away!!

On top of that, last night my car didn't start. So for the first time I had to take my hubby's car for my hour commute. Not too thrilled as his car has had troubles in the past but there was no way I was taking his pop's car (or at least not today).

So there was my Monday morning rant... Thanks for reading :)

Share with me some of your Monday troubles...

What is your least favorite day of the week and why? Favorite day?

♥ 4 Years Ago Today ♥

I met the love of my life, Mister Roddy!

I can't believe it is 4 years, it really seems like I have known him much longer than that. The Mister joked around and said 20 years, lol... What a jokesta :)

As you all know, I LOVE him very much. These have been the best 4 years of my life and I cannot wait to see what is in store for us in the future!

Te Quiero Mucho, Senor Roddy!!

♥ MUAH ♥



PS: Once you get married, will you be celebrating the day you first met or started dating or will you only celebrate your wedding anniversary?

I'm a Fabulous Sugar Doll Blogger :)

I cannot believe I received another blogger award from one of my FABULOUS followers. I was scanning through my comments on my latest post to find a comment from my fellow blogger, Born To Be Mrs Beaver, and to my surprise she left me a little goodie on her blog... How exciting!!

So for this one, the directions are simple:

Post the award on your site, write 10 interesting things about yourself, and then pass it on to 10 other bloggers.

10 Fun Facts:

1. In college, my bed set was Scooby Doo. I had the glow-in-the-dark comforter, pillow cases and even a Scooby Doo doll.

2. I am a Step-Pawrent to lovable, slobbering, Chocolate Lab named Buddy.

3. I was a cheerleader in high school (Yes, I was a rah-rah).

4. My hubby and I met through Yahoo! Personals. Maybe we should be in a commercial :)

5. Like Born To Be Mrs. Beaver, I LOVE the Food Network and am a self taught cook and baker.

6. I am a shoe-a-holic. At one time I owned approx. 72 pairs of shoes.

7. My Mom and I planned my sister's 200 person wedding in 2 months. Quite the accomplishment and it came out GREAT!

8. My family is so big that we find a new cousin or two almost every year. We are a BIG fat Puerto Rican family.

9. I am very competitive and most of the time people don't see it coming. When I play a sport or a game, I feel like I got to win or at least try my hardest.

10. I am a perfectionist. I am the type of person that who can type out a whole sentence and if a word is incorrect or misspelled, I delete the entire sentence to re-type it. I know, I can be anal. It's not always a bad thing!!


And the fellow Bloggers I would like to pass this award onto:

Fell Off The Wagon...

The 30 Day Shred wagon that is.

Unfortunately, I have to admit that I have fallen off the wagon. I apologize, Encore Bride, but with the move I seemed to have hurt my back and it just hasn't been the same. It is getting better though, I just have to put that kind of activity on hold. I have been suffering from random flair ups so I have been icing, heating and taking Tylenol to ease the pain and soreness when needed.

To all the shredders, please don't let my excuse be your excuse. You can do this! It is a great workout and I cannot wait to jump back on the wagon!

So good luck my fellow shredders. I can't wait to hear about your progress!
