At Long Last, I Blog Again: Favorite Polish of the Moment and Almond Cookies

Holy Moly it's been a long while since I last posted.  I've had a few issues to iron out but I am now doing very well (so far).

First off, happy Friday to everyone!  Did anyone else buy a Mega Millions ticket in hopes of scoring lots of monies?  Well, I don't play often, but I had to purchase a ticket for my boyfriend just in case.

After seeing the numbers tonight I can't believe how close my ticket numbers were.  But isn't that always the case?

Winning numbers:

02, 04, 23, 38, 46 mega 23

My numbers:

03, 06, 22, 39, 46 mega 22

What do I get for matching one number?

On to nail polish!  My collection hasn't grown quite as much.  I do not know if this is because there isn't much I want that I don't already have or if it's because I'm frankening now and am using the money for supplies.

Here's a color that I'm just crazy for:

I call it Pi Dan.  It's a gorgeous black with green sheen and on top of that it has tiny fuchsia flecks and it's holo!  

I'm currently selling a few bottles on my Etsy shop but that's not really the point.  I just love this color is all.

One of a few emotional occurrence for me is that this week was the 4 year anniversary of my mom's passing.  It also happens to coincide close with Qing Ming so I would be the worst daughter in the world had I not gone for a visit.

My mom used to make these cookies all the time.  They're super easy to make but they're also a bit tricky since they tend to burn on the edges.  I decided to make these after not having tasted them for nearly 4 years.  I must say that the memories really come flooding in of Saturday mornings waking up to the smell of almond cookies.



Those were much more pleasant than waking up to the sound of moon cakes being pounded out of wooden molds....... so not cool.

Hope everyone has a great weekend and I will try and post more often.  Just seems like I'm not really that exciting of a person eh?
