off to a GREAT start!
we all know that Mondays can be awful but today has gone surprisingly well.
i got out of bed at a normal human-beaning hour thus there was still hot coffee!!
killed like 8 flys (this is sick i do not know where they come from the house is CLEAN!!!)
went to spinning and it was a good class
went to the post and mailed a few letters (there is nothing like the act of sending a receiving a hand written note. i think it is one of the most valuable things you can do. and it cost all of 43 cents!)
WON the kiehl's acia twitter challenge... amaz! i am their number one fan so it does seem fitting
btw you should follow KiehlsNYC and go to the website!!!
AND found out that
JC alex's bf passed the bar!!!!!!!!!!
while this news does not include me it is most amazing and awesome and totally note worthy. JC gets to start his new job on Wednesday!!!! for any of you who are unfamiliar with this is it AMAZING and i am so happy for both of them!!!!
additional even more AMAZING THING....
kate winslet and daughter sporting room it up!!!!!
congats to alex and the gang what a awesome thing!

gimlet green
in honor of my favorite drink (which i am drinking alone, in a pint glass, while doing my "homework") the vodka gimlet, i have decided to post again, in gimlet green. the lack of postings have unfortunately not been due to an overly hectic schedule of friends and fun times. it is due to a lack of inspiration.
while many had fashion week to keep them going last week, here in eastern virginia i had school. LAME. there was much hope after tuesdays classes. both of the "friends" i have made we will call them A and L asked for my e-mail address and phone number. obvi i game them and have patiently awaited their contact. sidenote: i also have a third friend we will call E.
NOTHING.
apparently this is one of those situations where i should have also asked for their information (if i had i could possibly be drinking my gimlet at a bar not alone). making friends is super hard and i feel like the older i get (read this as my brithday is less than a month away and i will most likely spend it this same way with Veuve Clicquot and not vodka) the harder it is!
oh yes and to make myself feel better i am watching toddlers and tiaras on TLC. This show does wonders for me. minus the part where a 5 year old gets $1000 dress and a make up and hair team and false eyelashes. only because i know what i could do with $1000 and a hair and make up team and it does not involve prepubescent girls.
also, in january i am going to the Miss America Pageant to see my cousin Erin compete. watching this will de-sensitize me so my comments are at a minimum, i will also have MW to share my snarky comments. (side note they just has literally babies (0-12 months) come out carried by their mothers/fathers, they had life ambitions [go to pre-school, be a successful women, be miss america] they cannot even talk!!!!) and the humpback girl is about to have a "panic attack". GLORIOUS.
I would much rater be watching say yes to the dress, bridezillias or whose wedding is it anyway but this show will have to do. Also, on a fat day i am way thinner than all the moms, in my drunken state this makes me feel AWESOME!
I leave you with this wisdom just spoken from one of the mothers:
"REMEMBER CUPCAKE HANDS...SHOW ME CUPCAKE HANDS....THOSE ARE NOT!!!! CUPCAKE HANDS"
This should be illegal!

update
forgot my card so i could not getin to spinning. going to yoga at 1:45. AHHH. i hope i make it into the room. (and they have a mat for me to borrow!!!
yoga was awesome !!!!!!
yoga was awesome !!!!!!
to yoga or not to yoga
time has come my friends for a change. what that change is i am not certain. having made the giant leap back to school i have decided that i need to improve my life in more ways. engaging my mind everyday had made me realize that to be the best person i can bee i need to do more.
my whole life leading up to college i exercised methodically. but it was not exercise it was passion, fun, enjoyment. I have yet to find that in another sport. while i have tried to make running my passion it is nothing compared to pushing myself in the pool.
i think i am going to try yoga. while i find it extremely intimidating i think that making that jump and pushing myself into something so foreign will be a healthy exercise in expanding my horizons. my cousin MW swears it changed her life. i could use a life change!
now all i have to do is work up the courage to actually do it. BIG STEP. i don't know what it is. insecurity perhaps. i can not attend a class. i do videos at home even get Lisa to them with me; but walking into a studio paralyzes me. I can not even bring myself to attend a class at ODU.
in a step to overcome my fear i am purchasing this from lululemon! then i will go to class next week. promise!
until then its spinning for me! Happy Friday!!!

kooking with k-dawg
today k-dawg and i are making oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. yummy!!
while i do love my brother very much he is v. strange and has some odd quirks. First, he refers to lisa as "my mom" eventhough she gave birth to ajh and i and is currently mother to all 3 of us. Secondly, if he believes that something was done one way once he has to do it the same every time (pronounced EB-er-RE TIME). one might call this obsessive compulsive, and one might be correct. thus we made a new recipe for oatmeal chocolate chip raisin cookies on a metal jelly roll pan.
oatmeal cookies are a family staple. we always make the vanishing oatmeal cookies from Quaker Oats they are amazing and perfect. K-dawg is convinced that lisa makes the recipe on the back of the Toll House Chocolate Chip bag. she does not and i am sure of it. she might make the regular chocolate chip cookies from there but NOT the oatmeal ones. they are very different and the milk in the Toll House recipe plumps the oatmeal and sort of conceals it. good for the non oatmeal lovers. BAD FOR ME!
as for the metal jelly roll pan apparently lisa uses it. i think this was a lie on his part and when he goes outside to play and i am switching back to the cooking stone (better cookie bottom).
all in all my time spent with k-dawg was productive and we ended it on happy terms with cookies for lisa and thug when they return from work. I give it an A+!

tonight in honor of the downpour and the fact that will it not let up until Friday lisa and i made wedding soup. this is my favorite thing and i disregard my gluten intolerance to eat vats of it. that's what my very own super secret recipe makes!
i love fall/winter/early spring because in all of them you can enjoy this broth-y meatball-y bliss. this time we subsutited regular meatballs for the trader joe's turkey ones. they are a bit bigger but taste the same!!!
picture will be up tomorrow! recipe will not follow sorry. its for the cookbook!

lately alex maire has been super busy at her J.O.B. i decided to bring a bit of her job to the blog!
you can find them on Twitter: @RoomItUp and on Face Book.
The Room It Up products are amazing! and i have loved being able to watch the company grow and transform over our friendship! the LapDesk is the original product and is a MUST have for anyone with a laptop, in college or prone to doing work in bed!
i really like the train cases! i have a few and used them for a variety of things! as a lunch box, a make up holder, a head band case, and lastly and jewelery holder! i am tres in love with the Merci print but just palced an order for a few pieces (a new train case for mommy!!!) in the fun flower!
my other favorite part about room it up is that practically EVERYTHING is monogram-able!!!
