crunchy lunch

So here I was enjoying my delicious lunch (as seen below) of french onion soup and a club sandwich from Jason’s Deli when I bit into what felt like a rock. It didn’t hurt, per se, it was just super hard and obviously weird. So I fish out the foreign object….and find half [...]

perfectly peppermint

I started to feel extra blah after talking to Will this morning. My mood quite somber, melancholy, just plain ick. And the period hasn’t even arrived yet, which is totally annoying. Like just get here already so i can be done with you! But no.
So I decided I needed a pick-me-up [...]

monday morning

Gym bag is packed and in the car. Ready to go. I’m not going to be overly ambitious with this starting out or I know I will fail. So the goal is 30 minutes a day of cardio, every day this week. Simple. Easy. Anxiety-killing.
Breakfast today is [...]

photo shoot

I love pics of me. When Will and I lived together our camera whoredness resulted in many, many photo shoots. Thousands of pics of me are on my blackberry – yes, thousands. Imagine how many are on the wine-killed laptop!
For your viewing pleasure I now bring you some pics Allison took at [...]

such a porker

I am not sure I’ve sufficiently expressed my love of HoneyBaked Ham for lunch. It’s one of my latest addictions – specifically the Tavern Club, which consists of half a pig in the form of ham, the smoked breast of a whole turkey, bacon, 2 slices of swiss cheese, lettuce and mayo on marble [...]

today was a good day

And now the song is stuck in me head.
I sent AA a text this morning to tell him good luck with his interview for a job with a big accounting firm this afternoon. This was something we’d talked about Saturday night and I could tell he was touched I remembered. I gave him advice – [...]

going greek

The end of the bagels has finally come!  As much as I love them I just can’t do it anymore.
I had to go to 2 different grocery stores to find my new favorite thing – Chobani greek yogurt.  This stuff is INCREDIBLE.  I love yogurt, but Chobani is beyond my greatest expectations.  I love this [...]

homemade granola

I love granola in the morning with yogurt and bananas. Lately I’ve been killing myself by eating bagels with loads of cream cheese and I’ve been missing my granola.  So this morning when I was looking in my cupboard and noticed all my sunflower, pumpkin and flax seeds I decided it was time to try [...]

pizza pizza

In MI we always got pizza from Little Caesar’s. Not because the pizza was good, but because we loooved the crazy bread…with the specialty crazy cheese. I’ve found LC’s around here and in other places around the country, but they never have that delicious white or orange (I prefer white, for once!) cheese spread that [...]

heaven

Today I visited my own personal heaven.  And I don’t mean the event Babs attended last night, although that could very well be considered to be my own personal heaven in its own right.
Actually I visited 2 places that could be considered secondary and terciary heavens (Babs’ heaven being my numero uno)…and here we go [...]

eating

I’m not too American for fish with heads. 

 
It was quite delicious.

i could get used to this

Turk had been asking me to come to his restaurant since I met him.  Since he works all weekends we can never have premium night dates, which sucks, but I’m coming to accept his schedule.  So when he called me Saturday afternoon I told him that Allison and I might stop by for a drink.  [...]

cooking, creating, writing

Three things I love.
Oh, and big penises. My bad.
Oh, and wine!
But in an effort to keep myself from getting entirely too bored tonight I decided to cook. I love to cook, as we all know, but it’s just not the same when there’s nobody here to eat it. But, we work with what we have, [...]

damn expensive cereal

My MojaMix arrived yesterday….and it’s good, for sure, but I’m not sure it’s $12 good.  Especially since there’s so little in that huge bag.  I’ll be eating it this morning with 1/2 a banana and yogurt, and I’m sure I’ll like it, but I think I’ll probably stick with the Bear Naked Fruit and Nut [...]

my delicious date

I love food.  I love wine.  I love good dates with cute guys.
And I looked a-freaking-dorable yesterday, to the point that I could tell he was a little awe-struck when he saw me.  Yeah, I said it.  But it was that good and I cannot believe I didn’t get a picture of myself!  I’m slippin.
I [...]

margarita cupcakes

Vanilla-lime cake, soaked in tequila (meaning like a tiny bit of tequila poured over the cake), topped with tequila lime frosting.  Aren’t they cute?!  I think the office peeps will like them. 
 

repeated mistakes

I can’t lie and say I was excited about my second date with Brad.  Yeah, I had a great time Wednesday night when we had drinks and dinner at Goldfish.  Yeah, at that point a second date seemed like a grand idea.  And then Barista neuroticism took over.
First problem – when we decided on Saturday [...]

yum

Carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.
They seemed to be enjoyed by Allison and Will when we got back from the pool, but as per uj I still haven’t tried them.  I’m totally pleased with how cute they are, though!
 

unplanned

This likely isn’t in the healthy eating plan OR the budget plan, but shiiiiiiit….this bacon, swiss and mushroom omelet I just picked up at J Christopher’s is making me smile like a 60 year old security guard who thinks he might get a 26 year old piece of ass!

bilnding

I’ve done the internet dating thing enough to be pretty cool with not knowing what to expect.  I always met for coffee, figuring I could have coffee with anyone and there was little that could go wrong.  Well, those things, but also the fact that I’m always down with having more coffee.  So it just [...]
