My afternoon snack

4.30.2010



Using my new "china" .... for those that know me, I like to use paper plates so I don't have to do dishes. I know shame on me for the environment.

So, its some greek yogurt, with blackberries, walnuts, and honey drizzled.

This is my new comfort food.

Apartment Hunt Update

Epic fail.

Remember when I talked about looking at apartments yesterday? Well, they were all failures.

I'm going downtown again this morning to have bagels with my friend Caitlin and my sister. They are both pretty awesome - so its worth getting up early to hang out with them before they go to work.

Maybe I'll get lucky and see another apartment before I come home!

On my way to the T yesterday, I was walking down the street and it was so pretty. Is it so much to ask that I get to live on a street that looks like this?

This just seems silly... Square fruit?

4.29.2010

I saw this article on Huffington Post about how some farmers are selling square watermelons. That seems just a little bit off right?

If you check out the article they have some more pictures showing how they make them square.

I haven't bought a whole watermelon in awhile, but I can't imagine it costs more than $5 ... maybe $10 if its organic. These square watermelons sell for $75 - and I can't imagine wanting to pay 7x for square fruit.

Beautiful Day

I've been a naughty blogger ...

I apologize for the absence but apparently graduating from b-school takes up some time.

I'm downtown today enjoying the gorgeous weather and actually looking at a potential apartment. It will probably be a dud.... but you never know.

On my way here, I decided to get off at the Arlington and walk through the Public Gardens. It was so nice and there were so many people enjoying the nice day. Here are a few pictures I snapped on my way to Starbucks in Beacon Hill.

If I had a giant house...

4.23.2010

I'd want this for sure.


Who wouldn't want to put their books in a circle tube (essentially) and walk them around the house?

I have a big head

4.22.2010

Literally.

When I was younger and in dance recitals, it was always a little bit traumatic when the hats never fit my head. I wish I had a picture of myself in one of those rediculous getups but alas, I'm in my apartment not my parents' living room filled with photo albums.*

So... when I got an evite to my friend Will's Kentucky Derby party .... I cringed... a little bit. This would mean I would need to wear a hat. [insert significant internal gasp here]. 

But, I got to work quickly and found something that I hope works ... after all the description said "SIZE  FITS ALL -  SMALL TO LARGE !". Although I'm always a little suspicious of something that is described as one size fits all. How can that possibly work?

Not that it matters, but here is a picture of the hat I procured from eBay last night. Can't wait for it to arrive and we can see if one size really does fit all.

*One of my goals for this summer is to make a significant dent in scanning our family pictures so things like this never happen again :) I want to be able to share embarrassing family photos on a whim.

I'm a bit crazy ...

Knowing it is half the battle right?

So, it shouldn't be too big of a surprise that I noticed my sleeves of saltines were not equally filled. My diet the last few days has been pretty heavy on the Gatorade and saltines, so I'm unclear whether or not my uneven saltines is a trend or a one off occurrence.

I'm sure there are some statistics out there about how often these counts are off - and people get "cheated" out of something they've paid for - but I'm not going to look for them. I don't need another reason to be crazy.

P.S. I may or may not have counted my bobby pin package at CVS before purchase to ensure that I get the intended amount.... I know... I have a few screws loose.

The Ideal Pillow ... that I'll never buy

4.21.2010


I recently found myself on an airplane and was obviously checking out the Sky Mall catalog like I usually do. I didn't really see anything new or different since the last time I had flipped the pages. I do have a few favorites from prior flights, like the foot tanner for $200+ as you see below. I'm pretty sure the day I buy this product should also be the day someone takes away my ability to make decisions.

One product that I think falls right in the Sky Mall niche is this pillow that I actually saw on Gizmodo today. Its a pillow meant for people like myself that like to put their arm under the pillow.

Although I'm sure that I'll never drop 100 bones for this privilege.... I can't wait for Ikea to come up with their own version and I'll contemplate paying $10 for. I do feel like your average pillow case would probably ruin the functionality of this odd gap made just for your arm .... but maybe Ikea can help me with that as well.
