30 Day Blog Challenge- Day 10

Where are you from?

I am from the great ol' state of Wisconsin.  It's funny.  Now that I live in California, it seems boring.  People always ask if I like cheese and if I have gone cow-tipping.  But when I lived there there was no cow-tipping, and cheese went on pizza, and sandwiches, and everything else normal.  Except maybe apple pie.  It's a mid-western thing.  I AM a Packer fan, and I do like Miller Genuine Draft, and i STILL have an accent.  And I am damn proud.


On Wisconsin!

30 Day Blog Challenge- Day 9

Favorite book and what you're currently reading.

I already miss Maurice Sendak.  We weren't friends, and I didn't know him, but knowing he is gone really gets to me.  Where the Wild Things are is the first book I remember reading to myself all the time.  My mother could probably tell you what the first actual book I read to myself was, but my memory doesn't go back that far.  After bedtime I would sneak out of bed, grab the book and read it to myself.  The thrill of being caught after bedtime combined with the thrill of Max's adventure was almost too much to handle.

Since that book I have read countless 'classics' and mandatory reading for school, and some for pleasure.  The book that has stood out to me, and that changed the way I viewed reading, is 'Good in Bed' by Jennifer Weiner.  No it is not a porno novel.  I found this book on a whim the first summer I was back from college.  Having been over stimulated by professors and papers I found down time of summer break to be rather BORING.  And to top it off, I could no longer wake up when I wanted to, thanks Mom!  So I picked up the book without knowing a thing about the author or plot.

Reading became fun again.  I didn't have to memorize a passage for a class.  I didn't need to write 10 pages on the symbols of the car in the second chapter.  10 years later and I can still remember everything about the book.  I have read it more than a handful of times- I NEVER DO THAT. 

My current read is 'Jeneration X' by Jen Lancaster.  She is hilarious.  If you like a good belly laugh and sarcasm, she is up your alley.

30 Day Blog Challenge- Day 1

What food item/meal could you eat everyday for the rest of your life?

Do I have to limit this to 1?  There are so many.

I can safely say I will never get tired of ice cream.  Ice cream can be low fat, high fat, fruity, chocolate-y, creamy, icy, you name it.  However, if I was to only eat ice cream, I would probably go into some sort of sugar induced coma.

The other ting I could eat everyday and not tire of is Chipotle.  The black bean bowls are heaven.  In fact, I want one right now!!!

And now I am hungry...

Spring has sprung...

Actually, it is 52 degrees and raining right now.  Yes, even in California the weather can be drab.  So I spent the day drooling lusting after all the fun colors that spring fashion has in stores right now.

One trend I was not 100% I could get behind one is.... colored bottoms.  I tried the red pants during xmas and they sat in my drawer, I have tried the bright skinny jeans and can't get past that 80's feel.  I found the salmon colored capris at the gap and loved them.  I had a hard time pairing tops with them, but I have some great ideas in mind.  So, because I have branched out, I have become addicted.  I bought these:

Thanks Loft for your dressing room!

I kind of love them.  I also really loved the highlighter yellow shirt with them, but I didn't buy it.  Spring and sweaters just confuses me.  So I bought a highlighter yellow tank instead.  

So now...if only the weather would cooperate!
