Winter Hang Over!!!!

      Ugh!!! Where is the sun today!? I need it!!! Seriously feeling like I have a winter hang over, and I'm sick of it!! I need to see green grass and pretty flowers!! (is this my sign I'm living in the wrong state!? haha)
      I've had a busy weekend! So glad I got some girl time in.... shopping, pedicures, hanging out and catching up. In attempt to kill off my "winter hang over" decided to go on a <pretty much> all day shopping spree Saturday! I just KEPT finding all these good deals! I'm a sucker for good deals! And I don't mean the ones that appear as good deals and really aren't. I.E. b/c I spent so much (oops) I got the higher discount off of 2 pairs of heels (one Guess (aweeesome brand btw), one Jessica Simpson) originally priced at at least $100ea and I bought them both together for about $40! For anyone that doesn't know me, I love my shoes, and I love heels! Actually, not too long ago, my mother saw me with a new pair of "nonheel" boots on about about fell over! haha. mom: "WHAT?! You don't have heels on!?"....me: "I know mom... I'm depressed". Haha. But anyway, back to my good deals!! I got a new Jessica Simpson purse... a Guess jacket.... the list goes on... lets just say I had a great time +shopping and I'm sad the weekend is over!!! But here's to a great week of working out and getting homework done!!!

Spring Fever!

     Whoa, it's been awhile since I posted. I haven't kept to my word about posting 3 times a week! But I haven't thrown in the towel! I love writing; I've just been soo busy! Livin life and lovin it! 
     It's all rainy and cloudy out today. Blah! It's so hard to want to get out of bed when it's dark and gloomy and you have a good movie to watch! Not to mention a tv in your room so you don't even have to get out of bed!! I've got Spring Fever bad! I can't wait for the flowers to start blooming and the sun to start rising earlier! Excited to be able to take my dog to the park and play! Can't wait to wear cute shirts and skirts!!! Ahh!!! For now it's just a day dream! Looks like we could still get some more snow before this is all over with!
     Here I am, made it work! Barely! On my way to work, after getting coffee, I was dropping Wynsten off and I'm not sure if the rain on my sunroof scared him or what, but he decided he needed to be in my lap, so he took a leap! All but his back foot made it!!!! Yup!!! Right in the coffee!! Awesome!!! ALL over him, me and my car!! Thank God I think ahead and I grabbed a towel before leaving this morning thinking he might get my car dirty! Just didn't know it was going to be coffee not because of the rain!!! Grr!!
     Speaking of Wynsten, this weekend he decided to EAT one of his new chew toys! It made him really sick! I felt so bad for him. He was up in the middle of the night getting sick all over the place. He was shaking. His eyes were all blood shot. Poor baby! He seems to be just fine now, thank God!!! I don't know what I would if anything happened to him. 
     I'm getting back on track with a lot of things, including school! I only have ONE semester left! I really need to punch this out! I got my next class books in the mail yesterday! I'm really excited to push past this part of my life. I think that I will continue to go to school after this because I really want to get my masters! Feel free to harass me and push me along!!!

Tofu!!

     Goood Morning America!!! I always wondered what it would be like to have your own talk show! Wouldn't that be cool!? Not sure what I would talk about or accomplish, but I would LOVE being able to film whenever I wanted and NOT have to wake up early or be to work "on time". I hate that! If there is one thing that I would like to do with  my life, it would be to own my own business (not just because that's what my heart is after) so I can do my own thing and be more laid back!
     I have been so busy lately! I don't think I have blogged in a week! I have thought about it many times and just haven't had the time or wasn't in the right state of mind to write. But it's a blog, right? It's all about being random and writing whatever is on your mind!
     So last night, I had a really relaxing night! I got off work and went to the store, dropped off a movie I had rented ("Let Me In"). Umm, dumb movie by the way. I really like scary/horror movies, but I was not in the least impressed with this one. Some one had told me it was supposed to be really scary, fail! Then on to home to let Wynsten out, work out and then begin to make this new Tofu Recipe I found! 
     This was a new thing for me! Luckily I'm smart enough to figure out where you would find Tofu in a store so I didn't have to ask! I have never bought it or cooked it at home. And actually I have only had it maybe 2 or 3 times ever. I remember the first time I tried it, I almost gagged. I think there was one other time, but I can't remember it. The last time I remember, because it was at my current job. I work with a lot of Asians. We go out to eat a lot together. We trade off going to an American restaurant and then an Asian one. So it was Asian day, ha, so we went to this small little nook in the wall right off campus. It was really good! I got a seafood type soup. I ate all of it, it was so good. After I finished, I was told I had eaten Tofu! Haha! Well glad to know that my taste buds changed and I like it! 
     So I found this recipe on Hungry Girl called "Oodle of Noddles" (cheesecake factory swap) (click here for recipe) It was a hit! I really like Tofu! It was really easy to make and really healthy! You don't have that heavy gloomy feeling after eating. That's a big deal to me. I hate that feeling and will avoid eating to avoid that feeling afterwards at times. But anyways, it was great! Anyone that likes Tofu should try it! Heck, even if you don't like it or aren't sure, you should try it! You never know, you may love it, like me! 
     After I got done with that yummy food, I showered and took my dog outside to run around for awhile. We both needed it! It was FREEZING!!!! I think my eye balls froze a little because it was so cold out! I wish I could have taken a picture of Wynsten! Hahaa, when it gets really cold out he will walk with one foot in the air because it's too cold on his feet. It's funny! Poor Baby!!
     I watched "Life as we Know It" with Katherine Heigl & Josh Duhamel. It was a cute movie. It's hard after watching "No Strings Attached" (Natalie Portman & Ashton Kutcher) to really say it was awesome. "No Strings Attached" was just a great movie! I really really liked it! Not to mention my infatuation with Ashton! He's such a good actor and he has a charm about him that makes him perfect for his role in this movie. I really have a new love for Natalie Portman after this movie as well.  It's a must see!
