I'm just sitting up in the dark watching "Man vs. Food" and I thought I would chime in on this little bell of a blog. It was a breakfast edition. I just want to have my own kitchen and spend my time making giant cinnamon buns and skillets with killer pan fries. That's my teenage dream.
Also, I've decided that it's time to expand my craftiness. I'd really like to conquer sewing, or at least become acquainted with it. I was at the mall today and being the broke-as-a-joke that I am, I was only really there to peruse. So I was in American Eagle, which I've typically found to be a reasonably priced store, and I noticed that a little see-through shoulder shawl sweater was $40 on sale! Since when does that constitute as a sale? Does this sweater have magical powers? Can it make me speak fluent Portuguese? It didn't even look like it would keep me an ounce warmer than my bare shoulders could. Goodness. I can't keep up with these prices. I decided right there, in the middle of that store, that I could sew my own summer sundresses and cutesy little tops. I'm not sure if I'll ever actually do it, but I'd like to. I'd also like to start fixing up items found at second-hand stores and garage sales. Lanterns turned into chandeliers, re-upholstered furniture, etc, etc, the world is mine, etc. So basically I want to be every woman. Well, I don't really care if I'm that good at cleaning. Wait, yes I do. Dang it. Oooh, I don't really care about having my own garden... although fresh herbs would be nice. Whatever. One step at a time.
I'd also like to say that I've had probably the most relaxing vacation of my life this weekend. I'm (still) at my friend's house a few hours away from home and loving every minute. I came with her sister and we've just been ch-ch-ch-chilling the entire time. Honestly. We went out to get Quizno's for lunch yesterday. And then went out for dinner (I ordered steak for the first time! woah! peach bbq sauce with crispy cajun onions! yes please!!!!) and then to Metro to buy junk food because we're such gremlins. And then we just housed ourselves up in here and lazed about the couch, laughing at anything and everything. Today we went to the mall and I bought a Nike shirt that said "It's good to be king" on it. Haha. I'm a complete sucker for inspiration sports culture. Movies, attire, commercials-I'm all over it. In my head, I'm the world's biggest sports fan.
Then we picked up some Dairy Queen Hot Eats in the middle of an almost literal blizzard and came back to the homestead to hibernate once again. Even though we didn't do much of anything, it still has been an absolute blast. It feels so good to be away from the small town, the house, the job. I have definitely found an oasis in a dessert. I'll be back. I love a good road trip.
I'm going to go raid the fridge for the last lemon tart/slice of pecan cheesecake/hot wings/Activia yogurt.
Have a killer night,
Honey Bee
