Penguin Awareness Day, International Fetish Day
Even though International Fetish Day is meant to celebrate BDSM, I chose a more gentle approach to today's holidays. In honor of Penguin Awareness Day, I would like to share some of my favorite blacks and whites in recipes, art, style, photos and decor.
Kristi at 30 Pounds of Apples shared this awesome DIY for Hot Chocolate Sticks. I'm afraid Justin would end up just eating the chocolate off the ends before I could actually make hot cocoa out of them, but, hey, they're cute! | I am unintentionally celebrating a more accurate International Fetish Day. This week we had to take our little Odie to the vet hospital and found out he has a herniated disc. A lifetime of living in the penthouse suites (2nd floor and above) has left with confined to a small area, no running and no walks for the foreseeable future. I can tell you Odie is not a fan of bondage. We took him for a walk yesterday, wrapped in a blanket, but it just wasn't the same. Poor little dude.

I've added this to my list of things to put on my wall about 100 times. I swear, it's going to happen. Probably not until our next residence (November 2012 - ten months WooHoo!), but it's going to happen! | My mom introduced me to this cake and I brought it (in cupcake form) to a Thanksgiving dinner. People were literally dying and going to heaven after taking one bite. It made for an interesting party, but at least they died happy! No, but seriously, the Chocolate Guinness (cup)Cake(s) were a major hit and it only takes like a cup of Guinness so you get about 5 bottles leftover to enjoy!

ModCloth has this beautiful dress called "When the Night Comes" . . . I want a fancy occasion to wear this dress to. Any weddings coming up?? |
Here are some fun penguin facts thanks to penguinfacts.net.
- Penguins are birds (Justin seems to think this is like saying "Dogs are dogs." Not true.)
- They don't fly, they use their wings for swimming at a pace of about 15mph.
- Are you a member of the United States Libertarian Party? Better think about getting this unofficial symbol tattooed on your bicep. Or better yet, your tail-feather! I crack myself up!
- Penguin = "pen" meaning head and "gwyn" meaning white.
- Penguins are ancient species that appeared 40 million years ago in the Eocene Epoch!
- They usually move in huge groups called colonies or rookery.
- There are at least 18 difference species of penguins.
- There may be as many as 100 millions penguins in the world, but they can be endangered by oil spills, water pollution and over harvesting of fish, squid or krill.
- They mate for life. . . how adorable!
