happy as a clam..

So, this weekend was a lazy one.
In total, i managed to watch 5 movies: I Love You Man, Adventureland, Sunshine Cleaning, 17 Again, and Too Fast Too Furious. I mean it was shitty out for most of the weekend so can you blame me?
However, Saturday i was kind of productive. Me and one of my roommates Megan found the Trader Joes we were looking for, plus a whole slew of other great treasures. In this one little shopping center there was a Farmer's Market, Urban Outfitters, Free People, Borders, Bed Bath and Beyond, and a bunch of other stores. But it was a very satisfying day overall because in the end I got my TJ humus that I've been craving plus me and Megan got ingredients to make two vegetarian dishes this week: mexican veggie burritos with guacamole and portobella mushroom burgers.
I'm super excited that im living with someone who is also a vegetarian because then we can join forces cooking and grocery shopping.
Anyways, Saturday night me, Tj and my roommate Hilary went to Manayunk for dinner at Le Bus (one of my favorites) and i had a delicious veggie burger with cheddar cheese, guacamole, and tomato on top and with sweet potato fries. It was soooo good. I never even thought to put guac on a veg burger before so i need to remember for next time.
Sunday, was rather a slow day. I mainly cleaned and watched movies. I DID however make banana nut bread (my moms recipe). Im really loving having access to a kitchen rather than just a dining hall.




But to wrap it up, I got to say I hope this week goes by fast. Theres a 3 day weekend this week and next weekend im coming home to go to a Nascar race with Tj and his cousin. It should make for an interesting experience. But until next time...

oh.finally.

So, yes i finally have decided to use this freaking thing.
And I'm back at school, so what better time than to start now so my family can get every last detail of what I'm doing with my life, as if Facebook doesn't let them know enough as it is.
Anyways, it's friday and i'm being super exciting by sitting on the computer doing nothing.

My first week back at school went soooo slow. I thought this week and the awkwardness of new classes and fresh faces was never going to end. I mean seriously how many ice breakers can you do? They put you on the spot, make you say your name and a hobby or where you live or your major. Like anyone actually remembers the shit you say or cares for that matter. Not to mention i don't have a particular hobby...is that bad? 

But other than that everything is going pretty good. The apartment is a huge step up from my dinky, hot, nasty dorm from last year. Now i can make dinner and i have AC!

Me and Tj broke in the kitchen and made two full on meals this week. We made his moms homemade mac and cheese (the best i have EVER had) and we made some delicious stir fry.
I gotta say the boy can cook.

But this weekend me and one of my roommates are going to hunt out a Trader Joes since i'm having serious withdrawals and i may or may not go to Ikea...i love that place.

Anyways, the weather is crappy which calls for a good movie and freshly baked cookies (thanks Megan). Off to watch 'I Love You, Man.' Until next time...
