Things that jabbed at me today:

1. Watching my perfectly shaped tortilla chip break in half and slowly sink to the bottom of the queso bowl.

2. "Yes, ill have the chicken chimichanga a la carte." ...and the waiter responds with, "Do you want the rice and beans?" (A. LA. CARTE.)

 

This was all fixed when he only charged me $1.18 for my queso which is normally $7.

Also, the forecast for the week is "Scattered T-Storms." Its been raining for a month and i am going to the beach. 

On a lighter note.

It is Friday.

And i am going to the beach with my bestie rain or shine.

things that are only good the first time:

1. clean sheets: downy only lasts one wear.

2. french fries: mc donalds fries for example, best things in the world. wait 2 min and they are ruined. remember- fries before burger.

3. napkins: its not rocket science. yes i do use 5 napkins at every meal.

4. fried mozzarella sticks- heres the problem, the temperature of these sticks are lethal when they are given to you, so you have to "wait for them to cool off" or risk permanently loosing important taste buds, but you always wait too long. what can we learn from this? dont order them. they are full of greasy calories and they are too complicated.

5. snow cones: once they melt you can freeze them again, however... it turns into a popsicle of sorts which was not what you initially wanted. just throw it away.

6. towels: they usually are still slightly damp the next morning, or at least mine are because i prefer leave my towels on the floor. 

7. pasta dishes: no matter where you order a pasta dish you will be given enough to feed a small whale. "Can a get a to-go box?" NO. dont ask for the box. leave it. it will never be the same.

8. driving to the beach: then you realize you have to drive back 5 hrs in a small vehicle with 3 other people with a seatbelt slicing into your over cooked body listening to what the driver wants to listen to... which in my case is mom and she wants to listen to a 1 of 3 people- daniel powder, gavin degraw, or really old john mayer.

change of plans...

So i havent really taken a liking to blogging regularly.

Everyday i think about a kind of blog i would like to have.. and i try but i fail.

I love twoellie for all of its beautiful decor/remodeling ideas and its occasional "outfit to room" posts and pics of her beautiful children, but i neither have children or an eye for coordinating decor.

i adore my roomate's blog simply because i can hear her talking as i read which makes me laugh hysterically but i probably wont ever see Wicked again (two times was enough, great show, but enough.) i dont enjoy dairy in my teas, and lack in her exquisite skills in writing.

Being that i do work for a church planting organization i tried doing the whole pastoral posts but i am not a pastor, PK, church planter  or anything of the sort, therefore this was too a failed attempt in finding my nitch. 

But ive decided what i want this whole blog thing to be like... and that is, exactly what it was designed for.

To post about ones feelings, emotions, life, pictures and silly thoughts.

WARNING:

i will post about almost everything i think about.

this could be good and bad.

i do not mean to be offensive or to be taken seriously all the time. 

these are my THOUGHTS.

Hopefully this will help my blog be more exciting. keep your fingers crossed.

Anywho... please enjoy. 

I have a 6" sandwich to devour . 

Blues, Grays, Fiestas and Pillow Fights.

So as most of you know Hannah and I recently moved into our new apartment.

It's perfect.

In fact its more than perfect.

My favorite thing about it?

Our pale blue table and the huge window that sits behind it.

The past week and a half has been rainy and overcast. 

As much as i am dying to see the sun and head to the pool, 

I must say I've enjoyed watching the dreary weather from the table.

We cook more now. 

We actually cook a lot now.

Granted, the only thing we cook is rotini with ragu and the occasional sautéed chicken breast,

but dinner is dinner

Hannah and i hosted our first party in apt 131 last week. Cinco de Mayo.

Our guests wore stick-on quito stashes while enjoying our american-made mexi cuisine and virgin margaritas.

Our second party will be this friday.

A much needed Girls Night.

Cupcakes, pillows and gossip. (all good of course.)

Anywho. 

Please forgive me for not posting sooner.

Thats all for now.
