Sunday Night Scoop

Has anyone ever seen that show “Hoarders” on A&E? It’s really just sad. I think for some people it has to do with being lazy as well. I mean come on. There’s a different between keeping stuff and just not cleaning your damn house. Well I’m watching that right now lol. Multi-tasking you see!

I decided to kind of keep the same style blog but the theme’s just a little lighter and allows for more space for pics and font. Before everything was so squished to be honest I had to use Windows Live Writer then Blogger to space it out. So now it looks like things should work. Fingers crossed!!

I went through over 500+ blog posts last night on Google Reader. Thank GOD for that thing or I think we’d all be a little “cookoo” lol. I’ve had a lot going on this past week so here’s what I’ve been up to…

Last weekend at my parents’ was great. I always feel good reconnecting with them :) I grabbed Maia, books, magazines, my laptop, and my GM and hit the road!

I love Saturday and Sunday morning ESPN-HD with my father. I can always sleep in the spare bedroom but I purposefully sleep on the comfy couch so that when my dad wakes up early and makes coffee, he brings me a cup and I scoot over so that we can watch ESPN. Oh, I love those times!! As you can see, so did Maia. She sat in my mom’s lap while we munched on snacks and watched ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’… that’s a whole other topic!!

Then she decided she’d like to flirt with Boomer! That’s my girl ;) But wait, Boomer’s her cousin haha. So they played tug of war with a sock.

 

After our night over the parents’ house, I dropped her off then met M and the extended future fam at the movies. We saw Inglorious Basterds. Brad Pitt was hilarious! Classic Tarantino movie. I was starved because I didn’t eat all day, so on the way home I stopped and got Green Curry with chicken, peas, bamboo chutes, egg plant, green pepper, red pepper, and white rice. My absolute favorite. Chili Duck is the best place though, on Boylston in Boston. BUT this had to do for the time being :)

I had a bunch of great food at work this past week. I always bring Clif bars and my own healthy snacks (Oikos of course!), but the cafe really has some great lunches.

Monday I had shrimp stir fry. Instead of the usual white rice I had orzo. So much better!

I played Scrabble (this one is dated 1948, ANCIENT), and didn’t win. My friend Keri won. She had 199 and I had like 58 or something so I was no competition.

 

I did however, play Monopoly – Here and Now version. It’s the one where you can buy Fenway, the Golden Gate Bridge, all that good stuff. Very modern. I had the Starbucks coffee cup piece, and M had the laptop, I need not say more. Lol. See all the properties I had. I had one of everything so basically I held the ball in the palm of my hands. I ended up making deals so the game was more fun and we actually made progress. No one would budge! But I did :D Wow, I’m such a team player! Haha.

LOADDDDSSSS of cash!!!! I was on a roll. Until It was down to me and Karol and he KILLED me. I landed on Hollywood Blvd owned by him and he had a hotel on it and so I owed him $12million. Then I landed on another one of his with a hotel and I was finished. Whatever. Next time I got him!!

I finally got the chance to meet up with Keri. This was before our Scrabble game. We went to Bamboo and had amazing drinks.

This drink is called Zombie. I wonder if they call it that because after you have two sips you’re drunk?!? lol.

I love the feng-shui in this place. It’s so serene and the staff is so calm and nice. None of that uptight hurry up and get out business. Plus well they know me by now and they know how I roll ;)

We had the Philadelphia Maki (as usual), look at that cream cheese! Wow wow woowee!

We also ordered the Shrimp Tempura Maki, but I think we forgot to say “Maki”, and we got this. But it was soooooooooo good. I’m glad we screwed this one up. See those long shrimp sticks? Those things were about as long as my forearm!! There was a slice of fried squash, fried broccoli, and fried sweet potato. One of each. So we split and were surprisingly surprised. Very good.

Sorry I forget what this one’s called but it was scallops, shrimp, basil, peas, and chicken in a creamy sauce. There were thin noodles underneath. Keri ate too much basil and got a queesy feeling so I went to work but had to slow down myself. Very rich in flavor.

They give free deserts in small portions just to get the buzz going. I told Keri I felt like I was eating blood because the raspberry sauce was very rich, yet fresh. It was on top of a round jelly thing and there was cream sauce and fruit in the middle I think it was a slice of banana in the middle, I don’t remember.

 

Saturday morning I decided it was finally time to get some hair supplies. This stuff has been RUFF! I don’t know what’s going on. It’s definitely growing but its like not in the best mood. I grabbed all my goods and headed home to read my new mag.

I grabbed an Olive Oil relaxer (it was time lol), a couple Clif bars, Organix White Tea Grapeseed shampoo (I deserve it), a new shower sponge with the thing to stick to the wall on it, and a new Soleil razor. This was $8 for the new razor that included 2 4-blade attachments, then there was an extra 4 on that. Now you guys KNOW how expensive those can be!! I was psyched!

This issue was a trip. I stil haven’t finished but I must say, Brit does look good, Bradley Cooper is quite the catch, Renee and the Gosselins are annoying as you know what. Oh and P.S. I’m sick of the whole image they try to portray Jen as. She’s hot, getting older and embracing her strength as a female actor. What now? What? What?! Lol. I love her!

 

Today I grabbed some things at the mall. I got a long sweater (Express) from Second Time Around. It was $16. I’m pleased. Victoria’s secret was before that and you know how that is… :) I grabbed some sweats finally. Fall is here and I need to stay warm people! These were $40 a couple weeks ago when I went to get some so I said “no girl don’t do it!” Now they were half off so I got 2 pairs!!

 

 

This shirt I got from Anthropologie. Sylwia said in Poland they call it a “bat” shirt, because there’s holes for your arms but it has the bat effect. I agree. and this fabric is the softest and the lightest. Let’s just pray that I can A.) keep it white, B.) not shrink it, and C.) not rip it. I have the worst luck with things that ARE NOT COTTON! Ugh. Before we left I grabbed more Vitamin E serum from the Both Shop (I swear by this stuff), and an intense moisture cream for those dry days that I’ll be going to work make-upless :)

I’m all shopped out. So I’ve had a glass of wine and now M and I are patiently awaiting Mad Men and Entourage. We watch Mad Men then go back to watch Entourage from DVR. Addicts I tell you, addicts!

I’m hoping to have more time to blog this week so that I’m not going on and on like today but I know you guys like it :P I’m glad to know that you guys don’t forget me even when I can’t be here daily. Xo Love you ladies!!!
