As long as I'm jumping on the bandwagon of bloggering (Note: I do understand that I'm about, oh, 5-6 years late on the blogging bandwagon) I might as well do it wholeheartedly, right? So, as all good little bloggers do (or so I'm told as I don't personally know any actual bloggers) I am posting a list of things I'm really digging right now:
1)This book:
I have adored the movie for years now and imagine my utter and absolute delight to find the ENTIRE series in one book on the bookshelf of my heartbreakingly cute new roommate.
So far it's smart and funny and unlike so many books to movies, the movie really did an astonishingly good job of following along with the original text. Usually the people they get to play the movie versions of who I have forged in my head don't usually match up. Even if I see the movie first and then read the book, I still get a different vision. Not so in this case. Martin Freeman IS Arthur Dent and Mos Def is brilliant as Ford Prefect.
If you like smart, funny, sci-fi then this book(s) is the way to go. If not, then I might as well be speaking Vogonian to you.
2)This website:
The people who do this website are utter geniuses. Would I like to simply and easily compile all of the online things that I find interesting and cool? Don't mind if I do.
3)This movie:
Have I seen it yet? Um, no. Am I going to beg and plead my oh so handsome and smart boyfriend (can you tell I might be working the flattery card?) It looks so funny that I might pee my pants a little. PLUS, Jon Hamm will be shirtless in at least one scene and you really can't beat the hell outta that.
4)This album:
Once again, late the music scene on this one. But, having a bad day? Listen to Ambling Alp. You'll feel better by then end of it.
5)This product:
Am I a sell out? Perhaps. Is it more expensive than what I would normally spend on something like this? Definitely.
But, I gotta say, I never knew that my skin could feel this nice or look this glowing. I use it every night before I go to bed.
That's all I got for now.
We're moving into a new apartment next weekend.
It's actually just downstairs but we are totally trading up.
More baking posts to come with the BRAND NEW KITCHEN!!!!!

Procrastination Station
How can you tell that you're genuinely busy?
-Google reader tally has now reached the point of only showing 1000+
-The only pictures I have taken in the past 2 months have been the 24 that I took at Coachella on my point and shoot and the 6 of the cactus blooming in our yard with my cell phone and those were taken strictly because I knew that if I didn't I would literally cry real tears.
-I make dinner almost every single night and not a single one has been documented. Except for this.
But that's just because K received the pepper rack for his birthday and we totally needed to document it's usage. Which on a side note, if you like jalapeno poppers, go to the store immediately and buy this bad boy. The little tool that comes along with it to core the inside of the peppers is bloody brilliant!
-The last thing you want to do when you get home is even look at a computer, ipad, smart phone or the pile of laundry that has been mounting and possibly growing arms in the corner of the bedroom.
-The work out regiment has fallen sadly to the wayside. And if you'll refer back to point number 3 this does not bode well for the waistline.
-Anything even remotely related to popular culture has gone abundantly by the wayside, so much so that when pop culture references are made on SNL it goes completely over my head. This is embarrassing.
-Sewing and craft projects are now stacked 2 and 3 high in my closet and currently encroaching upon my shoe space. What are my priorities. Seriously!
How can you tell that you're honestly not that busy but just claim to be?
-You are able to attend a 3 day music festival with your boyfriend and not think about anything else except the fabulous bands and friends who surround you for said 3 days.
-You can spend an entire Sunday at the beach and think about nothing else other than how low your drink is getting and if you've put enough sunscreen on. (Drink: Patron Silver, Squirt soda and a twist of fresh lime. Get on the bus. It's the way to go) and there was definitely not enough sunscreen applied if you were wondering.
-You can make a nice little dinner every single night. And maybe sneak in a chocolate cake roll and batch of cookies too.
-You're still able to go on a run with your man friend every couple of nights and you get to spot this guy along the way!
-You are able to almost finish the first season of Mad Men. (Please refer to point #6 of the first list above. That will explain why we're only on the first season of a series that ended almost a year ago.
-You have no one else to take care of other than yourself (and one little silver cat). Unless you have a child, large farm animals, or an adult human who depend completely upon you for their survival you have absolutely not excuse to ever say you're too busy for anything. (guilty)
This all being said I apologize to anyone who has not received a call or an email as of late.
I probably miss you more than you realize and I think about you a lot and will now try to rectify my horrible faux pas.
Also, more documented cooking/baking and finished projects to be posted.
If not, I hold you, dear reader, solely responsible for keeping me honest.
