Shake It Like a Polaroid Picture

Oh man! This weekend has just been crrazzzyy! I feel like I have pretty much gone non-stop. But I kept getting invites to do things, and if you know me you know I am always up for a fun time and when one of my friends wants to go out, I rarely say no.

Last night my friend Tina wanted to go out on the town, so of course she didn't have to twist my arm. Do I feel some pics about to go down?! I do think so.

We met up with some friends at a local bar downtown.

We laughed sooo hard at this picture because Josh failed at every attempt to take a decent picture. This was his worst shot. haha he is actually pretty cute, but he looks like a creep-o in this picture. Here are several more attempts.

Then I had to show him just how a great picture is taken:

As the night went on several more people showed up to hang out and I saw a lot of old friends. I tend to put the camera away after a few drinks though, because things tend to get a little difficult to keep up with after that. haha.

P.S. Aren't the little Polaroid cool? My friends told me about this program that you can find and download here. I just love it! Its so cool, this little camera pops up and all you do is drag and drop your pictures into the camera and out pops your Polaroid from your camera. Of course, you have to wait for the picture to develop. No shaking!

Today is a catch up day for sure, after that wild weekend. I woke up and fixed up some blueberry waffles with sliced banana and strawberries and maple syrup.

Then for lunch I was craving something just warm and good and comforting. What did I come up with?!

Grilled Peanut Butter and Banana DUH!

And just to show the ooey gooey goodness of the sandwich I present to you evidence #1

mmmmm

Also, this morning I was surfing the web for some owl tattoo ideas and check out what I found!

Its the tattoo that I described! An owl with the text "carpe diem", except I want "carpe noctem" and I want it a little smaller...and def somewhere less noticeable than smack dab on my arm. But other than that, thats it! I kinda thought it was an original idea, but guess not. haha. I still like it though...what do you guys think?

Ok Now its time for cleaning, running, tanning, and shopping with the sis. Then I gotta get up early to substitute teach for a Kindergarten class. AHH!!!

Hope everyone is having an awesome, relaxing Sunday.

Lots of Love, <3 Ems.

Boo-Tay-Licious

Per request of Miss Mica...BAM!

ta ta ta ta tasty tasty. And we also take note of Tanya's hottness too. I mean I gotta give credit where credit is due :)

So today was the interview in Charlotte and I was tossing and turning all night long. I literally got NO sleep. I had my alarm set for 330, but at 3 I just got up and started getting ready. But oh my gosh I LOVE Charlotte! It is the coolest city! After my interview I drove around and explored a little. And of course stopped in the super target and forever21. Look at the goodies:

Fage 0% and multiple flavor of archer farms yogurt....STOCKED!

I have NEVER been able to find the mighty maple until now...thank you super target!

Yet another feather shirt...check!

Cute vintage-y necklace

Feather earring...are you catching a theme?

So, today was pretty hectic and about 7 hours of it was spent in the car so im soooo sorry, but I didnt get pictures of the eats. I did however do a flat out wrap montage, reminiscent of a previous post, about how I have to put things in a certain order in my wraps/sandwiches. Here goes:

First I spread on the hummus to act as the "glue" when I roll it up.

Then add the turkey, just cause I feel like its the next logical step.

Then top the turkey with some salsa...I know this looks a little gross, but I got the idea to add salsa because it has everything you need in one easy step...tomatoes, green peppers, onions, etc. PLUS its good, I promise! :)

Then the spinach goes on top because it holds everything together.

Roll it all up...and VOILA! I still have not mastered the roll as well as Jenny or Jaime! GIRLS TEACH ME!!

All right bootilicious babes, Im exhausted so it is off to bed. I dont even think i will be staying up for the city tonight.

Hope everyone had a great Monday <33

P.S. Amanda and Jen I have interview questions for you girls but I couldnt find a e-mail address!! hook me up!

In the Hot Seat!

So I told the lovely and always oh-so entertaining Miss Mica to interview me. Little did I know she would come up with such HARD questions. haha. So, Im in the hot seat now...here goes nothin'

1. If you could be stuck on a deserted island with one person, who would it be and why?

Ok, my thought on this question would be to say my mom. But then I started thinking how much my mom worries about EVERYTHING. Now, I know if we were stranded on a deserted island she would be worrying about every little thing. I quickly ruled her out. Then, I thought that I would probably want someone a little bit more practical...and the question didnt say that you actually have to know this person. So, my answer would be...

Yes, the terminator. I mean he did a pretty good job of protecting that little boy right?! And I'm pretty sure he could probably rustle us up some grub, and might even have the skills to build some sort of rescue device to get us of the island.

2. What is your best physical attribute?

This one is gonna sound really strange but the thing that I am most proud of on my body is my boo-tay. I know i know, coincided much? But, you must know that before my ED I had a pretty nice butt. And then when I started losing weight it just went away. No one believed them when I told them that I used to have a pretty good sized butt. Now that I have gotten back up to healthy weight, it is back!! All of my friends that knew me when I was in the middle of my ED all comment on it now, and it is just sort of a symbol to me that I am healthy now like I used to be before I was sick.

3. What is one thing that really grosses you out?

The one thing that really grosses me out is public restrooms. Everything about them! Not just the toilets. The sinks gross me out, the walls gross me out, the crazy florescent lighting that most of them have gross me out, and that crazy little "sign off" sheet where the employees initial that they have cleaned the bathroom, but you KNOW that they just walked in, maybe emptied the trash and then initialed...yeah, that grosses me out.

4. Have you ever made a wish that came true?

I make wishes too often, and it is my firm belief that you hold the power to make your wishes come true. I always try to achieve things that I wish for. Sometime it works, sometimes it doesnt. Currently my biggest wish involves a certain someone being here for my birthday and valentines day. But I dont think there is anything I can do to make that happen :(

5. What is something that most people don't know about you?

Most people do not know that I am a "food blogger" haha.

Ok! whew, I feel much better now! Anyone else wanna play along?! Heres what you gotta do:

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by emailing you five questions. (I get to pick the questions).
3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview others
in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them
five questions.

OK on to the eats!

Breakfast: Two slices of whole wheat toast, one with strawberry preserves and one with apricot preserves. A handful of blackberries, and 1/2 cup cottage cheese (not picture, because for some reason the picture I took was WAY blurry)

Lunch: Flatout wrap with hummus, turkey, salsa, and spinach with some pickles on the side. And a pear:

I just finished up the lunch and now I am sitting here debating. I have a dilemma gals, Im supposed to go to Charlotte tomorrow for my second interview. The drive is about 3 and half hours, and I have to be there at 9. Last time I did this I woke up at 330 A.M. to go! I am NOT looking forward to doing this again at all! So, I am debating on weather or not to just leave now and get a hotel down there, or go in the morning again. decisions decisions...what would you do?!s

Anyway, it has been a really difficult day because I have been worried about what to do about the interview...so please keep me in your thoughts and prayers about tomorrow! :)

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and are ready to get back to the grind tomorrow! Love you girls! <333
