It's a Gray day without "Grey's"

Oh Grey’s, when oh when will you return?
Okay, I have many guilty pleasures, but this one is my biggest one! I love, love, love, LURVE ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy! The last episode was amazing, so right now I am just pining for the return of my favorite time waster. 
I can quote, quip and promptly analyze all the episodes, because I have seen EVERY SINGLE ONE! 
Oh, when, oh, when, will Grey’s return?? Sorry guys, this is just something I have to complain about, because maybe if I complain loud enough, (especially via internet!), then Shonda Rimes might read my blog and speed up the mid season break!  
If only, if only . . . 

Chris has a NEW GIRL!


Anyone wondering about how our young little friend Chris has been faring since his heartbreak?
Well, the other day he set eyes on beautiful little three year old Peyton. This is a beautiful little girl with charisma, and personality like a firecracker! She’s smart, blonde, and boys hold your breath . . .  she’s a future cheerleader!
Well, it started out with Chris looking at little Peyton and getting that glazed over look on his face. Then, he started hanging out with her and her friend Grace. 
At first, Chris was just as excited as he could be that two girls would him put his arms around them and walk around while he announced to the entire center that they were his “friends who are girls.”
Then, once Grace left, I noticed Peyton and Chris were holding hands.
He promptly announced to everyone, “We’re just friends! She’s a girl! We’re just friends!” He said all of this with a HUGE  goofy smile on his face.
Next thing ya’ know,  he is coming up to every adult that has the ability to hear in the center and telling them “Peyton’s my girlfriend! She’s going to come over to my house!”
He was sooo ecstatic! 
When Peyton’s mom came to pick her up, Chris immediately marched up to her and said with gusto, “Peyton’s my girlfriend! I want her to come over to my house!”
This poor mother was just a little taken aback that she was already dealing with the fact a boy was oogling over her gorgeous baby girl! “So soon!”
Peyton’s mother responded with a comment somewhere along the lines of, “you can come over when she turns twenty!”
It was very sad to see the two little lovebirds torn apart! They parted ways with a long embrace, Peyton begging her mother to let her stay, asking her to let him come over and play. Chris watched her go and stood on his tippy toes as Peyton walked away from the exit gate saying “I want you to come over to my house! I will ask my mom! YOUR MY GIRLFRIEND!” 
Translation: “I’ll see you soon! I will make sure of it! I love you!”
Ah, young love! To be three again!

Happy Bday Big Bro!


(Big Bro 1989-2008)
It was my Big Bro’s birthday a while ago, the problem? He wasn’t here to celebrate turning twenty two. He died four years ago, but I still wanted his birthday to be a special day. I really wanted it to be a day of celebration, not a day of mourning, so I wanted to do something in his honor. 
I was looking around one of my favorite blogs on his birthday for a recipe he might have liked, when I stumbled upon something he would have LOVED!

Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pie!
Courtesy of saucysprinkles.com, I read the post and felt like it was there just for Big Bro. 
The reason this was so perfect is because Big Bro absolutely HATED birthday cake!
Every single year we would have to be creative about how to serve something sweet and blow out his candles on. One year, we were at a loss about what to serve, so we just opened a carton of ice cream and stuck fourteen candles on it!
I decided to make this PB ice cream pie for him and give it to a family I really love. I wanted to share it, share the joy of Big Bro’s special day and his wonderful memory. I feel like that’s what he would have wanted.
So happy birthday to my amazing Big Brother, and the memories that will never leave the ones he loved. We were so lucky to have had him for the short time he was with us!
