BEAT L.A…AGAIN!

October 20, 2009 by Leave a Comment

It was a late night at the Curly Fry house last night. It was Game 4 of the NLCS – Phillies vs Dodgers. WHAT A GAME! The Phillies didn’t play such a hot game, but they pulled out at win in the 9th inning with 2 outs! Jimmy Rollins was the hero of the game, driving in 2 RBIs to win the game.

It was great. I’m still a bit peeved about how Friday night’s game ended, but I’m trying to get over it. The Phillies should’ve won the series last night, but we’ll go ahead and do that tomorrow night here in Philly! Then we’ll be WORLD SERIES BOUND! AGAIN!!!!

Let's talk Donuts!

So I recently received a few donut pans and some King Arthur Flour donut mixes as a gift! I’m looking forward to baking my own donuts and making some yummy icing to go on top! How fun!

First off let me say that I don’t like when donut is spelled “Doughnut” – total pet peeve! :) Now that I have that out of the way…

To kick off the donut party, I will be making King Arthur Flour’s Ultimate Chocolate Donut! It will be topped with the Chocolate Glaze they have listed on their web site.

My other half is a choc-o-holic, so that’s why we’re starting out with the chocolate.

I’ll take some pics and let y’all know how they turn out. We’ll compare them to that pic up there that King Arthur posted, lol!

What is your favorite donut flavor?

NLCS, here we come!

Less than a week ago I predicted that the Phillies would win the National League Division Series in PHOUR games.

And I was RIGHT!

Phillies took the series 3 – 1, but it sure was a nail biter last night! There was no napping in the curly fry house – because there was lots of yelling at the TV!

Living room pics

October 9, 2009 by Leave a Comment

So in honor of being in our house for a year, I figured I should post some pics since we’ve updated the joint. Today the spotlight is on the living room!

We got it painted (check out the new colors!), got new shades (my FAVE! They are the top down/bottom up), new lighting fixtures, etc. We still need to put up more pictures/wall decor. That will be coming soon!

First up: Shades. I ordered these online from Blinds Chalet. LOVE! They’ve got great prices. And let me tell you their customer service is superb. I had a bit of an issue with a few of the blinds…and they went above and beyond to fix it. I’d recommend them to anyone, and I’ll definitely be making a future purchase. Let’s take a peek…

These are just opened with the bottom up:

These are top down! I love having this option.

This is our sofa. Besides my bed, this is my favorite piece of furniture!

To the left:

To the right (sorry about the bad glare!)

TV, and other technology, lol!

My WINE CABINET! (That desperately needs to be filled!)

I’ll put the picture of the Foyer here, since it opens up to the living room. I love the way the color of the foyer and the color of the living room look next to each other.

Let's Go Phils!

October 5, 2009 by Leave a Comment

We went to our last Phillies game of the regular season on Friday night. Even though we lost, it was still fun. Below is a picture of the view from our seats!

They were okay seats – we much prefer the seats in section 102 in the outfield. That is where we plan on sitting next year for our season tix.

But we’re totally pumped for the POST SEASON! I’m bummed that the games start at 2:37pm on Wednesday and Thursday. I guess they don’t care about us folks that WORK during the day! :(

I know I still owe y’all a trip review from Disney – I haven’t forgotten about it. I’ve just been busy with other things. It will be coming soon!

Are you a baseball fan? Who do you root for?
