Here's the buzz, I'll tell ya what's a happenin' (name the mediocre broadway song/show that I just butchered for a catchy blog title)

1.  Today when Devin got up and moved around for work, I channeled my inner Postal Service because I was in fact sleeping in.  Please, please have some grace with my Gong-show worthy humor.  I slept in today for the first time in who knows how long.  Dig it.

2.  She is coming this summer.  I am going.

3.  They are also coming.  I have my tickets already.

4.  And sweet moses the biggest one is him.  I will sell my kidney for that show.

5.  Moving on.  I miss you guys and reading my favorite bliggity blogs.  Guys, I finally have a steadier schedule and time and I will be back with lots of fun stuff.

6.  I have been catching up on Glee.  We don't have TV, so I have missed so much.  Hulu, you are the apple of my eye.  The cream in my coffee.  Glee inspires me to go for my dreams: back up dancer for Britney.

7.  We are getting a puppy by this summer.  So there's that!  Probably not one as cool as this one, but we'll work on it.

8.  I bought this jacket and lost it within 2 days.  I am thinking of putting up signs in my neighborhood.  Devastated.  And I looked better than the model.

9.  Speaking of, our lululemon is rockin at the Galleria and I am LOVING my job.  I learn so much every day about owning a business and it's incredible how much I didn't know I knew how to do.  So blessed.  Come see us June 2 from 7-10 for our grand opening party!  Mechanical bull, BBQ, beer and margs...should be a good time.  Oh and come see us before then too.

10.  The ironman is this weekend in The Woodlands.  Doing an Ironman is one of Devin's BHAGs (big hairy audacious goal), so we're going to watch with lululemon Woodlands at their inspiration station so he can get inspired and make me a nervous wreck someday when he does it.  Good luck to anyone doing it!!!

11.  I need a big fat massage.  Anyone know anyone good in H-town?  And I mean seriously unbelievably good.  Massages are a gamble with me.  I once had a migraine and went in for one only to be put with a blind therapist who could only use one hand.  This is typical of my life.

12.  Artie in a wheelchair could sing a song about a baby to me any day.  Kid has a voice!  Yes, still watching Glee.

13.  Can I ask a question?  Where do you shop?  I have been to every store in America and can't seem to walk out with anything.  This is a problem for me.  I purged my closet of all of my frumpy businessy clothes the other night and am desperate for new clothes

14.  Tell me about Paleo anyone who knows.  Tell me!  And how do you live without CHEESE?!

15.  Did you like your prom?  Sometimes I think I have dimentia.  I don't think it was anything great for me, but I kind of don't remember.  Oh but I do know that I have never been asked to a dance in my life.  This makes Devin so sad.  But really if you think about it, it was a huge advantage because I didn't have to say yes to someone and not really want to go with them; I got to pick.  Ok by now Devin is really sad reading this.  We'll move on.

15.  I went in for new running shoes the other day and was informed that my shoes were the culprit for my knee pain and it was in fact my shoes that kept me from running my marathon.  So, I plan to run my next one barefoot.

So how are you?!?!

Some people don't like mint and chocolate together. I am not one of those people.

Chocolate Mint Thumbprint cookies!

From Baked.  Duh.

So easy, so delicious...

they sort of look like poop at one point in the process, but they don't look like poop when they're done.  

I digress.

I ran out of white chocolate and had to put on my Betty Crocker hat and THINK FAST!  

So I made more filling out of milk chocolate (the brown ones).

Pretty sure I could skip a grade in culinary school.

My mom came over to help and she thought white filling was boring.  So we made it blue. 

They're different, but so good...especially with milk says Devin.

A garden update; because you care about my plants. Right?

Dev had to build some lattice work-ish thing to hold our cucumbers this weekend.  They are shooting all over the place and I'm pretty sure I can blame them for taking over the other window box and killing the strawbs.
Don't mind the breath-taking parking garage in the background.
Vom.

Basil = weed.  We can't use it enough.  I love that.

We bought a new cherry tomato plant that is already fruiting.  We're probably most excited for this one.

 I lied.  Peppers.  I am PUMPED FOR ALL OF OUR PEPPERS!!

We picked our first hot banana pepper this week and fed it to Grammy (D's grandma).  She approved.  Garden success.  Clear picture fail.

Fantastic News

The scones are amazing.

They are coconut carrot

So good with coffee

and for lunch.  Not that I know.

From the Baked cookbook, of course.

I will say, the scones were so sticky.  

I would love to watch someone make scones to copy their fight against sticky dough.

So good.

Do you have that cookbook yet? 

If not, get it.

Or find an awesome friend to give it to you completely unexpectedly.

I feel like a blog mom.
I am in my pajamas
with my coffee
and our place is a disaster
and I am blogging.
blog mom I am.
sans the children.

This is my first full day off in about 2 months and I finally have time to do things I need to do.  Like spend some time with God.  Like pick up the dry cleaning that has been there for at least a month.  Like clean said disastrous apartment.  Like bake scones for the first time.  Anyone have any advice?  I don't know the first thing about making scones.  Should make for a good "fail" blog post!!

What have you been up to?

We will be opening our new store this Friday and I will finally have some sort of normal schedule.  I am loving my new job.  I AM LOVING MY NEW JOB!!!

And I think today I will re-visit my list of 28 things to do before I'm 28 and cross a few off.  Like new job.

We went to DC and this is all I got??

We had a stellar time hanging with the fam.

Devin watched his man crush before we went

and then we HAD to go to Ben's chili bowl.

I'm glad we did, best half smoked all the way ever.

If you go to DC, go eat some chilay
