Here's to a crazy weekend!

I can't believe tomorrow is already Friday! I love how the days are just flying by! We have a busy weekend and I had to make cookies tonight!

Tomorrow night we have Mike's holiday party for work and I know it will be a late night. On Saturday morning, I have a baby shower to attend. My first baby shower ever and I am so excited!!! Saturday night I am going to go to a cookie exchange and then we are off to our friends' holiday party! Woo! I will try to relax and catch up on sleep on Sunday but then I have my cheerleading holiday party that night. I am tired thinking about it but it is going to be a fun weekend!

SOOO...tonight I made my "Oreo Balls" for the exchange. I know they are called "Oreo Truffles" but I like "Balls" better. They are so easy! Just mix a box of crushed Oreos with a box of cream cheese. Roll them into balls, dip them into melted chocolate, and put them in the fridge to set. Wa La...People love these things!!! I actually bought mint Oreos this time. Can't wait to see if people like the new flavor!

OH...I forgot to post the update on the new, basement bathroom! No more purple "poop bathroom"...YAY! (Sorry Les!)

Remember what it looked like before? Before (Ew)...After...Before with pipes...Now they are hiding!More after pics...It looks so so so much better! We used the grey (blue) from our guest bedroom and I think it looks great. I like it so much more than that light purple. Bleck....

OK...I am going to get ready to get in bed (and read Breaking Dawn of course...it is finally getting really good). My hubby is still at work (it is 10 PM!) and I guess I will have to fall asleep alone tonight.

Have a great night! Good luck tomorrow, Ali! I love you!!!

We had a crazy weekend last weekend--I'm looking forward to relaxing, but I'm sure you'll have a blast!

I love making the oreo truffles. I never thought of using the mint oreos though, I'll have to try that. And I love the new bathroom color.

I always make those oreo balls, they're amazing! And I agree with kari, your bathroom looks kick ass! Isn't it so nice to have a new pretty bathroom???

We also have a purple bathroom in our basement. What were the previous owners thinking?! Your remodel is an inspiration.

(And I sent mint oreo balls to work with my husband last week - they were a huge hit! Hope you enjoy your batch!)

wow, the bathroom turned out awesome. the light blue/gray works so well!

and thanks so much for posting the oreo balls... i was going to try a cake ball recipe for my office holiday party, but your recipe looks so much easier (and delicious), so i'm gonna try them!

have fun this weekend!

the gals at work call those cookies "better than sex cookies." we heart them!!

i've had a friend make them with lemon cookies then dipped in pink color almond bark. they were awesome.
enjoy your weekend!

Wow, I the pipe cover-up makes for a pretty amazing transformation! I mean, you'd never know they were there. Congrats on the renovation!
