Right this moment...

I'm on a computer that's not mine, anxiously awaiting the mailman to bring my new charger for my dead, misbehaving laptop.

I'm retiring my beloved pineapple print planner and writing important dates, birthdays, events, and school schedules into my new mod-birdie print time.mine planner.

Without a trusty planner by my side, I would be far more disorganized. Scary thought.

I'm also wanting to sink my sweet tooth into these chewy bar cookies dreamt up by Nicole of Baking Bites. Salty pecans and chocolate? Hello, chewy melty goodness!

I'm head-over-heels in love with IKEA.

It's a put-it-together-yourself furniture wonderland.

Yesterday, Silly and I made the trek out to the Swedish mecca so I could convince him of it's overall addictiveness. A couple steps through the doorway and he was hooked.

Did you know that there's a little sit-down restaurant inside of IKEA?

...And that every dish is wallet-friendly to match their inedible products?

...And surprisingly, freakishly, crack-a-licious?

No joke. It's addictive and delicious... hence, "crack-a-licious".

Those are Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes and a side of lingonberry jam.

This Princess Cake - aka sponge cake with raspberry filling topped with marzipan frosting and a chocolate crown - was so light and tasty that Silly couldn't keep his fork out of it.

Oh, this? It's called a Daim Torte, and for less than two dollars I experienced some serious crack-a-licious flavor. Two layers of almond cake sandwiched between layers of caramel cream, topped with crushed Daim candies (almond toffee) and milk chocolate. Yum!

A few hours later, we walked out with a couple packs of magazine holders, a big glass for succulents, a toothbrush-shaped pot scrubber, and two salad spinners.

Awesome.

I'm fondly remembering the tastes from my adventure at the state fair yesterday.

Oh, that? That's a whipped cream and soft-serve covered funnel cake.

Silly and I also tried a deep-fried snickers bar and a reindeer corndog.

Yeah, I'm probably on the naughty list for that one, but it was freakin' delicious.

Thank goodness for the calorie-burning heat and carnival rides, arm fulls of baby piglets, and narrowly escaping the aim of a spinning kid with a seriously upset stomach. It was a close one.

♥ I'm still swooning over this spicy grilled tuna melt I made last Saturday. Creamy cheese + crunchy bread = YUM.

♥ I'm dreaming up wacky treats to bake up using my quickly multiplying Amish Friendship Bread starter.

♥ I'm loving these ruffled zipper sandals on sale at Pac Sun.

♥ I'm stoked for this Friday's adventure to the State Fair. Ferris wheel, here I come!
