Bullseye!

Well hello lovely followers and welcome to my 100th post!

Yup, you read that right... 100!!!

I had started this blog as a way to express myself after over a year of reading them. Not once have I felt any regret about starting 90 Percent Blonde. I have met some wonderful people along the way and sometimes I can't even imagine my life without this little blog of mine. So here we go, number 100...


"Hi, my name is Sarah and I'm addicted to shopping at Target"
*in unison* "Hi Sarah"

Yes, that is right. I am addicted to shopping at Target. I go there about 2-3 times a week and buy something almost every time. The one time when I didn't go for a full week - and my dad knew - he told me Target called wanting to make sure I was ok. He also busts my chops and asks when they are giving me my own parking space (which I wish they did that way I wouldn't lose my car... that's a whole 'nother story though)


There was the time this happened... January 6th to be exact...



A normal person's first thought would have been "Oh my gosh, I hope the driver's ok"

My first thought? "Oh my gosh, A TARGET TRUCK!!! What if it was on its way here?!? What sales will I miss out on???" Then I thought about the guy.

Priorities = wrong!

I've even gotten stuff I won't need for a long time!

Don't you love that face I made. Not only was a super tired, in pain,
and without any make up at all but can you say botox!
Here, let me zoom in for you...


Ummm, a maternity shirt?!?

I thought it was a normal shirt - which I found in the womans section, not maternity - until I wore it and it didn't fit right. Whoops.

Occassionally, I play around while there...

Luckily, I've never been kicked out yet.
Yet.

And I have gotten phone calls before from family members asking what the cost of something would be at Target and where it would be found in the store. Target needs to start paying me!

Pretty confident this was written about me

Who else will I be seeing at Shoppers Annonymous? And don't lie!

XLVI's best commercials, and men...

(note: page may run slow due to embedded Youtube videos, sorry)

I am not a NFL person, I prefer college football - as you all probably know.

Since I live in NJ, a LOT of people around here are NY Giants fans and while I was debating on rooting for them, I decided to stay neutral and root for hotties instead since lets be real, I watch for the commercials and 'tight ends'

Well folks, it turns out I'm mainly a Patriots fan because of these two sexy men...


Tom Brady


Aaron Hernandez

Who knew the Pats had these men on the field?!? I'm sorry Mrs. Manning wannabes, but the Gmen don't touch these guys!


But there was another man who stole the show...


Hello, David Beckham!

If you missed the commercial...



Dear Beau,
Sorry I'm not sorry...

Yes, I HAD to make it my lock screen. I mean, who wouldn't
want to look at that every time they grab their phone?

Some of my other favorites?







Because I love the song and haven't heard it in forever...



And since I'm an EMT, I had to share this one...



Which commercials were your favorites?

P.S. - Congrats New York Giants on a Super Bowl 2012 win!

Really McDonalds??? Really?????

Today I have a ton to do around the house and with the back/hip/leg pain, every task takes me a LOT longer to complete.

I, of course, have time to go on Facebook though and was outraged as to what I saw...




How horrible is this?!? At first I didn't want to believe it but then I discovered this:

Good job, McDonald's, you've lost my business... even though I shouldn't be eating it anyway!


But I can't leave you guys on an unhappy note so here's a little funny - but true - advice for the weekend...

Just make sure this doesn't happen...

Have a great weekend and enjoy the Super Bowl
(or the Puppy Bowl, whichever is your cup of tea)
((I think you know which one I'll be watching))

Root beer pulled pork, it's better then it sounds...

I'm pretty sure I've mentioned before how much I suck at cooking. I'm just not good at it - especially if it involves a lot of ingredients. I succeeded in dinner last night though by making crock pot pulled pork and yes, I did pat myself on the back!

I had gotten the idea a few days ago on someone's blog but when I went to look up the ingredients, couldn't find what blog it was (ugh!) so I ended up getting the recipe my co-worker uses. It was thebombdotcom!


These were ALL of the ingredients! 4 things...

1 Pork loin (I think the one I got was 3ish pounds but I honestly didn't look)
1 can of beef broth
1 bottle of BBQ sauce
1 can of A&W Root Beer -- Since it wasn't on sale, I didn't feel like buying a whole pack just for one can so I bought a bottle and dumped about half in.

Directions:
Put the pork loin into the crock pot with broth and approx. 1/4 of the bottle of BBQ sauce. Cook on low for 5 hours

Take loin out of crock pot and shred with a fork. Before putting shredded pork back in the crock pot, dump the remaining broth. You don't need it any more.

In a bowl, combine the root beer and the rest of the BBQ sauce. Pour over the shredded pork and mix to make sure it's well covered. Cook on low for another 1-2 hours.

That's it! Easy, right?



Beau even said that it was good and wouldn't mind if I made it again. Score!


Speaking of Beau, he saw this video online last night, shared it with me, and I knew I had to share it with all of you. Enjoy...



He also decided that we are getting new bedding.


I'll admit, it's pretty cool but I think he's lost his mind. Not only do I not want to wake up on blood splatter every morning but how am I suppose to decorate a bedroom around this?!


Have a wonderful day!

Wedding Wednesday


Welcome to my first ever Wedding Wednesday link up, which will run the first Wednesday of each month!


Wedding Wednesday


There are so many pieces to a wedding, I couldn't decide what to put on here first. Should I begin with the most important part? Besides from the man though, that would be the dress. Although I do have my dress, I'm not sharing those details until the wedding comes so you'll have to wait. Maybe I'll do a post on the dresses that failed but I'll save that for another Wednesday. Another important part of the wedding... the cake, duh!

(I am a fatty at heart)

My favorite out of all of them!

No cake-cutting fee, right?

And our topper?

Story behind it... Beau always has such a fake smile in pictures. To make it a real smile, he started to grab my butt. It now happens every time we take a picture! So as you can imagine, I was beyond excited when I saw this online. It totally fits us!


Come link up!
