One week...

One week from today and I'll be in my hometown for Easter weekend. I can't wait. I have baby cousins who are 3, 2 and one month old and I cannot wait to see them scrambling around my parents backyard for the Easter Egg Hunt. It will be so adorable!!

Procrastination...

There are a thousand ways I procrastinate but right now at the top of my list is looking around ShopBop.com for clothes I don't need. I love shop bop and have actually been fourtunate enough to visit their only store in the US called "Bop" in Madison, Wisconsin. The website is wayyy better than the store, but in the summer for one week the store has one of the most amazing sales I've ever been to. I'm talking designer jeans for less than $50, amazing. I love the label Gorjana and right now at the top of my wishlist is their Greenwich Cross Body Bag. It seems so versitile, and the perfect day bag for summer. 
Hmmm, oh well. Back to studying :(

Good Read

Today would also be the best day to start a brand new book!
I recommend Firefly Lane it made me laugh, it made me cry and most importantly it made me think about life. It was so good it makes me want to read other books by Kristin Hannah.  
Firefly Lane

Sunshine

Today is suppose to be 75 degrees and sunny here! The perfect day to eat lunch outside! 
Hope everyone else has amazing weather on hump day!

I love Bethenny

I love Bethenny Frankel from The Real Housewives of New York City. To me she is positively hysterical and I could watch her all day every day. Espeically in Season 2 when she would mock Jill Zarin, I would find myself in stiches laughing so hard. And she is not just a funny lady, her book Naturally Thin is amazing, I could only hope my body will look as good as hers does when I'm 39. She is so bold too,  even posing naked for Peta's "I'd rather go naked than wear fur" campaign.  
If you haven't heard of Bethenny Frankel I'd tune into The Real Housewives of NYC or read her book.

Greek Chicken Salad

I took a cue from La Mia Vita and tried out the recipe for the Greek Chicken Salad....it was so yummy!
I recommend it to everyone!
My attempted cooking skills in action.

Spring Break 2010!

Last week was my Spring Break! I went to Destin, FL and rented a house with 14 friends. It was so much fun, I went with a great group of people and it was so nice to get away... here are a few of the highlights my the trip:


The Boathouse 
If you are ever in Destin this Oyster Bar is so much fun! Packed with crazy locals and live music you are guarenteed a good time- we all went to the Boathouse 3 nights of the week!

The Boathouse's amazing Oysters
(If you don't like Oyster's their menu also includes other Seafood, 
Burgers, Grilled Cheeses, etc.- it's all good!)

Me and the BF
(Still pale because this was the first night of the trip)

Hula Hooping
Need I say more?


Legends of the Hidden Pool
Leave it to a group of boys to find a ball and make up a game to play in our cool secluded pool 24/7.
All the girls layed out during "game time".

St. Patrick's Day
It was so funny and amusing that our friend fell asleep in this position at the end of the night. 


Our Own Crawfish Boil
 This pic was self described as "fratty". 
And the crawfish were soo delicious.

In case you couldn't tell I loveee Seafood and the beach was the perfect place to enjoy so much of it. I had such a great week, but now it's back to the grind- of midterms, reports, and exams. :(
