Strange Addiction


Oh my holy hannah I am addicted...to Friday Night Lights. For those of you who don't know of the phenomenon, it is (well was...no longer on the air) a show about a ficitional small town in Texas and their football obsession. I don't like football and I have never been to Texas (trying to make it to Austin one of these days to visit Shaina), but I am OBSESSED.

I don't think this addiction is very healthy, but what addiction is? I am currently on Episode 19 of the first season and I am itching to get home to feed my unhealthy habit. This same thing happened with One Tree Hill and it wasn't pretty. Just picture me and Brian glued to the computer screen whilst we down Thai food...mmm!

I will leave you all with a video of Coach Taylor (ugh love!) who happened to attend UGA...like me! Enjoy!

laziness

Since moving to NYC, I am finding that I am a little lazier than I used to be. I think it has to do with the fact that NYC is all about convenience. You want take out - why not get delivery? Grocery shopping is a pain - order it online. Laundry is just plain annoying - send it out. I used to love doing laundry, really I did. But now I find it to be a serious process. I have the hardest time deciding whether or not to suck it up and go down to the basement to clean my clothes or walk down the street to get it done. When I send it out, it comes back so perfectly folded, yet my wallet is a wee bit lighter. Sadly, sending my clothes out is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me.

I think I might spoil myself this week and send it out - eek!

bringing home the bacon...

Since meeting a guy at my friend's wedding who has a pet pig, I haven't really gotten the idea of owning one out of my head. Honestly, I would never be able to have a pig and one smushed face is enough for me at the moment, but a girl can dream right?

I am particularly obsessed with micro mini pigs.

They are the cutest things ever and, you know me, I am fond of the "ugly but cute" look. Hopefully that excludes my taste in guys, but doesn't mean it hasn't happened.

Anywho, long story short...when I one day have a farm with lots of acres, I am getting me a micro mini pig!

Happy Tuesday!

out with the old...

in with the new!

This weekend, I dedicated a lot of time to repurposing an old desk. The desk was a dark wood with oriental-like handles. It was pretty, but does not match my decor. I decided to paint the desk a neutral color (white) with some leftover paint. I also replaced the handles with pulls that are a brushed nickel finish. They were about 5 bucks from Home Depot (my fave!). So all together, this little project took 10 bucks, a sore arm and paint I already had - whoop whoop! I'd love to know what you guys think. Oh and I am going to hang the poster up - just can't do it on the weekends (apt rule...)



Hope you all had a fun and productive weekend like I did!
