thank you

thank you for 45,000 page hits!  [as of ...a few weeks ago]  thank you for bearing with me through this ridiculous journey through my ever derailing train of thought.  thank you for the few comments i get that remind me people actually read this thing.  thank you to other bloggers that inspire me to try new outfits, foods, sewing projects.

roasty toasty veges

i was feeling hungry and lazy.  which is different than hungry and angry = hangry.

i halved some baby potatoes, trimmed some beans, and halved and cored red peppers; dumped them on a pan under the broiler for 10 minutes, turned off the oven, and watched an episode of my newest favorite cop show life.  previous favorite cop shows include the good guys and the unusuals.  theyre all on netflix but unfortunately in their entirety.  2 seasons of life but 1 season of the other two.  pretty sure netflix categorization will come up with "quirky cancelled cop shows" for me to accompany my "violent supernatural action & adventure" "campy sci-fi & fantasy" and "critically acclaimed foreign gangster movies"

but i digress.

 perfectly roasted and just slightly steamed

salvation army

some things are inevitable.  like my car will need hundreds or thousands of dollars of work every year.  whether it be brakes, tires, rotors, or ahem.  a new windshield.  whatever.  thats what budgeting is for right?  what was not inevitable...but more fate perhaps is that the car place was less than 3 blocks from both salvation army and goodwill.  [un]fortunately my car took less than the 2 hours schedule for new brakes and rotors [and $600 less than it cost me the last 2x in ny] so i only went to the sa. 

tacky turquoise silk shirt, tacky paisley polyester shirt, oversized furry vest, reversible [!!!] rain jacket, brown sweater that i have been searching for ... for months.

birthday weekend!

thursday was my 27th birthday!  late 20's have begun with... an early snowfall, walking to work in a mini-hail storm, and ridiculous deluge of 33 degree rain.  oh weather.

regardless, close friends braved the flooding to celebrate tacos and margaritas with me!

random snacks

 

since my trainer [i have a personal drill sergeant..] told me to eat more protein and drink more water... ive been quasi-successfully accomplishing one of those tasks.  one night i made a ground pork spinach curry with israeli couscous. 

fun.

halloween night was spent at the state theater for the fun. concert.  amazing live band and in true guy fashion...they all dressed like women.  more specifically, the cast of friends.  complete with a couch and the central perk sign mounted on the drum set. 

opening band was miniature tigers.  now because i apparently have ADD at concerts and i tend to ignore when the singer says actual words... i was confused by the band name.  at first i heard "imagine dragons" who was in concert a few months ago.  then i heard "bitchin tires".  the third time they said their name [..at the end of the set] i finally figured out it was tiny feral felines.
