Starting Monday, my friend and I will both be following a detox-diet, made up almost wholly of vegetables, fruits, water, and well, that’s pretty much it. We will do this for seven days to rid our bodies of whatever excess, um, stuff it needs to rid itself of. I decided to join the detox party because I’ve been wanting to to something like that, and hell, isn’t anything more fun...
And yes, I realize that with my sequined slipper socks in the foreground of assorted build-a-bear stuffed animals, I seem a bit young. Nope. Those were all gifts from the boyfriend, actually. Except the socks. I love the socks.
This morning, I planned to wake up at 6am to do laundry before work - how ridiculously optimistic of me. Instead, when my alarm went off, I took one look at the snow flurrying down out my window and stayed cuddled in my down comforter for two more hours. Actually, who am I kidding? I doubt I would have waken up for laundry even if it were sunny and beautiful out. But the intention was totally...
Friend Introductions
My deep thought of the month:
I find it interesting that whenever I am introduced to someone’s friend, their friend title always is like, “friend from high school” or “college friend” or “friend from work.” Why is this? Why can’t the person being introduced just be their friend? Is it so that the everybody meeting the friend can adjust their...
Suburbia
Tomorrow afternoon I’m leaving the city behind and heading to Connecticut to visit a friend for a few nights and am very excited to:
Do silly girl things like drink fancy champagne raspberry cocktails while dancing to hyper-inducing music;
Go to Target and Michael’s;
Make homemade guacamole and a delicious chocolate cake from scratch while wearing adorable aprons our respective...
It’s really. damn. cold. today. I just went to Bloomie’s and -gasp- resisted all purchases and instead paid my bill. Recessionista’s my new mantra.
Weeknights aren’t usually fun nights filled with delicious food and conversations about the future that make me grin with excitement.
However, last night was an exception. I whipped up a delicious recipe recommended to me by a friend. It was quite the scene as I ran around with both a twisty towel drying my hair and an apron over my pajamas, looking quite foolish but attempting to have the...
Conversation with boyfriend:
Me: OMG! I forgot!!! I want you to hear my new favorite song!!!!
Him: What is it?
Me: Wait for it! [fumbles with iTunes] Okay, just listen!
[2 seconds later]
Him: Is this that Taylor Swift girl you keep talking about?
Me: HOW DID YOU KNOW?
Him: What else could that country-bumpkin beat be?
Hrmph. Fine then.
Yesterday was a bad day for football. BOTH my boyfriend and I had teams that just couldn’t pull off a win. Sadness.
In other news, I think the boyfriend and I are finally getting over the bump in the road we’ve been experiencing lately. So football? There’s always next season.
“There’s only two types of guys out there,
Ones that can hang with me, and...”
– Miss Britney Spears. I totally love this song. It’s addicting!
A Surprise
After barely keeping my eyes open during work yesterday, all I wanted to do was get home and rest for a little while before seeing my boyfriend. The stress of unpacking and cleaning beckoned, and I was just not in the mood to socialize. I had a mission to accomplish. I was beyond surprised by my boyfriend when I arrived home to my apartment. He had let himself in with a key I had left for him and...
My flight from San Diego landed at 4:30am. I was in my bed within an hour and a half, attempting shut-eye to no avail. I used to think that red eye flights back to the east coast were a genius way to maximize my time. Now as I sit at my desk bleary-eyed, I’m regretting that decision. HOWEVER, I have no doubt that it was worth it for the extra hours with my wonderful family who I missed SO so...
