Not Leaving the House

Mmmm- I love weekends!  Mike and I only left the house once today to go to the gym, and we had plans to go shopping but decided instead just to stay inside in the warmth.  LOVE it.
My Friday afternoon was relatively uneventful, and included the last bit of plain yogurt from a container and an apple [...]

Thank GOD

I am so glad it’s Friday!  I am in such a Friday mood!  Sorry I didn’t post last night, but there was a really good movie on the Family Channel the other night.  Mike read scholarly books on the couch next to me while I basked in teenybopper glory.
Yeah.  So for a snack yesterday afternoon, I [...]

Learning About Satiety

Hello gorgeous girls (and hunky gents?).  Aren’t you so glad the weekend is almost here?  I love this feeling of knowing I just have one day of work left until sleeping late, being silly with Mike, and having quality girlfriend time!  Thanks so much for all of your supportive comments yesterday.  It feels really good [...]

Thank You, Caitlin

Hi everyone- I just read Caitlin’s post Caitlin’s post about Jessica Simpson and really felt the need to discuss this on my blog.  First of all, thank you Caitlin!
I have been really disturbed by the images I have been seeing in the media recently (especially the SAGS) now that I am accepting that I was not [...]

Why the Hell am I at Work?

That is what I want to know!  I certainly couldn’t walk today because all of DC is covered in a blanket of ice, and yet, I took the bus and made it here.  Nevermind that NO ONE should be outside today.  Grr. 
Let’s move on to pleasantries like beauty and food.  First, check out how fabulous [...]

Being a Good Italian Housewife

Hey there bloggies!  I have the warmest most content tummy right now.  I left work a few minutes early due to the snow and rushed home to spend over 2 hours preparing an amazing meal.  Because of the weather, I knew I needed to make us some comforting soup.  I used a recipe for Minestrone [...]

If Only I Were a Child…

Eye candy of the day:  Taraji Henson 

Sleek, sleek, sleek!  Good gracious woman, your glowy skin, breathtaking dress perfectly fitted to your ridiculous figure, sleek and stylish hair, and intelligent minimalist approach to accessories makes you the goddess of the SAGs.  Perhaps you could od Hollywood a favor and counsel some of the hot messes that [...]

I’m Backkkkk

Hello!  How I have missed you all.  Luckily, my camera problems are solved (it did involve purchasing a new one- oh well) and I am back to blogging!  Unfortunately, I’ve lost all my pictures from the weekend- but you didn’t miss anything too out of the ordinary- omelettes, Starbursts, salad, veggie burgers.  You know the [...]

Technical Difficulties

Hi friendss- so sorry I haven’t written in so long.  I am having technical difficulties in camera form.  I will be back hopefully tonight, if not, tomorrow!  In the meantime, please enjoy Kate Winslet’s stunning Narcisco Rodriguez dress from last night.  Sadly, she was one of the only ones that did the SAG awards justice.

The End of a Week

Hi beauties- happy Friday!  Sorry I didn’t post yesterday.  I was feeling pretty under the weather on Wednesday night and fell asleep quite early.  Just beforehand, I had a dinner whose pictures seem to be lost!  Anyway, it was a salad with 1/4c. bleu cheese, a small whole grain roll that I dipped in leftover [...]
