Some random Friday fun

September 16, 2011

Yes baby it is finally Friday. I was just thinking to myself I would like there to be a day that I don’t wake up on a Monday counting down the hours till the weekend.

Last night I went for drinks & tapas with the girls and it was delicious and a good time.We tried this new place Meze, unfortunately online it said they had these great Happy Hour deals but once we got there that was not the case.  Bellydancer and I decided to venture to the Adult shop not too far from the restaurant. I got a few fun new things to add to the treasure box. She and I sat in the car and talked about our lives and relationships for about an hour. I love it when you just end up sitting there talking and don’t realize when an hour has gone by. 

This past weekend I went to a wedding for a friend I met right after Highschool. I met him at the same time I met the bestie G we are not nearly as close, shit I didn’t even know he had a girlfriend all that time. Anyway, it was a beautiful wedding. I wore a grown up girl dress and I like to think I looked fabulous. I had been to an Indian wedding only once before but it was great then and great this time as well. I am now convinced I should buy a Sari just to have! They had a photobooth at the reception too! I absolutely love weddings, always have.

My parents have been in Hawaii for a week now and for 1. I am extremely jealous and B. My mom is missing us like crazy and ready to come home so that is what happens when you leave the kiddies at home!
I baked the hell out of some Oat meal Chocolate Chip cookies and some brownies this week. I will post the recipes in a separate post sometime this weekend but my younger brother helped me with the brownies so that was a lot of fun.

Day Nine: Nine Loves

September 14, 2011

Love #1: My Family & The Boy
  My family is seriously amazing. I don’t know how better to put it. They drive me crazy and make me so happy all in a matter of seconds. The Boy is well…my love 🙂

Love #2: My Friends
  I have some pretty fantastic friends. They are such a diverse group of people and they make me very happy 🙂
I can’t seem to find a picture with all of them but you get the idea…

Love #3: Reading
  I use reading as my escape from the world. If I am stressed or just need a break I bury my nose in a book and don’t come up until I am done. One day I hope to have a home big enough for a room full of books.

Love #4: Music/Concerts
  This always seems like a generic answer but really I love music I can find a song for any mood. If I am having a bad day a good song can change that fast. I love concerts. LOVE them.

Love #5: Food
   Ooh man I swear inside this chunky girl lives a 300 pound kid that can eat. I think about food all the damn time and that is why I will probably never be thin again. I workout so I can eat, I skip things sometimes just because I know that I would rather go eat. If we are going to hang out there had better be some food involved.

Love #6: The Internet
   I would really like to know what I did with my life before the internet. I know I must have occupied my time somehow.

Love #7: My fave TV Shows
  I love Grey’s Anatomy, Dexter, Jersey Shore, True Blood, Shameless…the list goes on.

Love #8: Travel
  I mean this pretty obvious from previous posts. There is still so much traveling I want to do.

Love #9: Baking
  I don’t really know if this falls under the food category but the actual baking process is something I really love. I love finding new recipes and trying them out. I love when I can quickly throw something together and it comes out better than the recipe I try so hard to get right another day.

Ooh the horror!

September 14, 2011

I’ve been a bad bad bloggy girl. I have had the most intensely packed last few weeks. I amazed myself at my ability to drink so much and still make it to work and out and about the last few weeks.

I went to a bbq for some coworkers, I made some sangria. Well this sangria I made along with X amount of vodka shots led to me actually passing out at the party. One minute rambling on in spanish about who knows what and the next I am sleeping sitting upright. The Boy had to fireman carry me out of the party and home where I unfortunately puked all over the house, him and myself. I woke up around 4am covered in puke and wondering how the hell I got home. That was the first blackout I have had since 21 so I am thinking it had to be a bad one. Of course it took me almost a week to recover and before I could even smell liquor without gagging. I think for almost 4 days I smelled vomit on everything and was convinced there was still some in my hair even after about 10 showers. I swore never to drink again…..

This is the only picture I have from the BBQ and I don’t even remember taking it.
