i'm not the only one out there who non-ironically...
there are other twenty-somethings out there with delilah on the radio as they putter around the kitchen? not just me? because it’s pretty much become an every night habit around these parts. get home from work, head in the kitchen to work on dinner, and the radio plays from when we start cooking til the last dish is washed. true story: the other night during dinner rob shushed me so he...

i just tried my first larabar
I know I’m late in the game here, but you guys were right! They are so good! I’m sorry for ever doubting, but I have to be honest — I was not expecting something that only contained dates, nuts and fruit to taste too great. Like, maybe it might be edible, but don’t even try to tell me that it tastes like what it’s called on the package. Cookie dough? Okay, sure,...

on registering
Steph’s post just reminded me that Rob and I have yet to register for anything. I know it is a normal, expected thing to do but it just seems so WEIRD to me. Like…okay, we’ve decided to make a commitment to one another, so now here is a list of all the things we want you to buy for us! I think I just get weirdly self conscious about things that I shouldn’t be self conscious...

In a moment of reckless abandon/overenthusiastic zucchini slicing last night, I filleted my thumb on our mandoline. Which, aside from bleeding like crazy (actually…it’s still bleeding a little? am I dying?) and hurting like a bitch, it isn’t that big of a deal I guess. Stick a bandaid on it and move on. J/K IT’S ACTUALLY A BIG PAIN IN THE ASS! Here’s a growing list...

An 84-Year-Old Sends Her First Text Message | The... →
She held it above her lap. It quivered in her knotty, wrinkled hands. Is there anything more alien to a young person than an old person’s hand? Its veins and joints are all visible. Its thin skin droops, scuffed by burns, pets, diapers, steering wheels, doorknobs, and whatever else has brushed by in 80-plus years. Its muscles have withered, wizened down to their most essential bits. Bracelets —...

even years > odd years
I’ve vaguely referenced it here and there on ye olde blog, but times have been really tough lately financially. One of my wishes/goals for 2012 was to find a way to generate more income. When I made that goal, I assumed it would come in the form of a higher full-time salary, or more loftily, a windfall from some unknown deceased relative.  The weird thing is, we are only 9 days into the...

i'm gonna need more caffeine today
Last night as we were laying in bed about to fall asleep, I turned and said something to Rob, and he said “Wow, your pupils are HUGE right now. You look weird.” As a joke I asked if my pupils were taking over my whole eyeballs. And then I immediately remembered the Black Eyed Kids. And then I pretty much laid awake all night.

paleo(ish) blueberry muffins
Another day, another excuse to use the KitchenAid! :) These were yummy right out of the oven, with a little butter slathered on top. Mmmm.

Coconut Flour Blueberry Muffins (adapted from Wholesome Home) 3 eggs 3 tbsp melted virgin coconut oil 3 tbsp raw honey 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 tsp sea salt 1/4 cup sifted...

paleo(ish) chocolate chip cookies
Rob and I are easing back into the paleo diet/lifestyle. We did it for 5 or 6 weeks a few months ago and had great results (felt better, lost weight, more energy, etc.) but then the holidays snuck up on us and it all went to crap. So anyway, new year, new commitment to being healthy, yada yada yada. This is our first week back on the wagon and although I am eager to start reaping the benefits of...

I just referred to 2013 in an email
And just typing it out, it’s like, whooooooa buddy, no way, that is too far in the future to be real.  2013! I could grasp 2000, no problem with 2010 or 2011, coming to terms with 2012, but COME ON, 2013 just doesn’t seem like it can be a real thing. Maybe that’s why the Mayans stopped counting in 2012.  “Sorry dude, but I am quitting this calendar business in 2012....

big and little things i would like to do in 2012
Travel somewhere new with Rob (we’ve never taken a “real” trip together). Run 1 mile without dying/throwing up. Get married…or, more specifically, actually put some effort into wedding planning. Learn at least one survival skill that will make me useful in a post-apocalyptic world JUST IN CASE. Go 30 consecutive days without drinking Diet Coke (starting today?) Get...
