Cute or annoying?

When does not being able to do something stop being cute and start being annoying?

I wasn't able to cook until this year when I started to worry that my inability to cook anything might lead to me not being able to find a husband.  I can cook a few dishes now, but I am still nowhere near my mom or grandma's cooking level.

I literally can NOT bowl.  It's really embarrassing. I went bowling with my family yesterday and my total for two games was 102.  I feel like if a guy ever took me bowling as a date he would break up with me because I can't bowl, but my whole family thinks it's really funny that I can't do something!

I feel like grown ups can do SO many different things, and when you can't it is either kinda adorable or really annoying. I hope that my inability to cook and bowl hasn't passed over to annoying from adorable!

Things I Love Thursday: The Pioneer Woman

You might remember my tweet "True Life: I'm Obsessed with The Pioneer Woman". I stand by that tweet wholeheartedly. But really you guys, have you checked out her blog? Or her Food Network show? Or her twitter? Or her books?

Ree Drummond (THE Pioneer Woman) lives on a ranch in Oklahoma with her husband who she calls "Marlboro Man", their four ADORABLE children, and their herd of animals. Literally. I mean, they have pets and stuff but they live on a ranch you guys. THEY HAVE REAL ANIMALS!

I have to hand it to my Grandma, she is the first person who I heard talk about Ree's blog. When I visited her over the summer she asked me if I had ever heard of the blogger "The Pioneer Woman".  She probably had Ree's cookbook already... I'm not positive. I actually HAD heard of her blog before, but never visited it until my mom forced me to sit down with her and watch an episode of the Food Network TV show.

All of her recipes look DELICIOUS. Ree fixed these Duchess Potatoes on her Christmas Special, which re-airs for the last time today (12/22) at noon EST (so if you haven't watched it already make sure you set your DVR this morning!).  I'm making these for Christmas... mashed potatoes and egg yolks, what could be better?

I mean really, look at this. How can you not want to make these?????

Anyway, big ups to my Mom and Grandma for introducing me to The Pioneer Woman! If you haven't watched her show or bought her cookbook or read her blog or followed her on twitter yet, WHY NOT??
