Do sandwiches count?

I think I may need to purchase this book!

I've been very uninspired lately in the kitchen, which leads to poor choices and an expanding waistline.

I think Chapter 3 is for me, "I Want Something Simple, Fast, and Hard to Screw Up"

What's your favorite cookbook?

Ikea!

Have you seen this chandelier from Ikea?

I just saw it on Little Green Notebook, and I'm loving it.  The shade of flowers are made from paper, so its very light and easy to hang!  Did I mention that it's only $90?!

Images from here.

Oh Christy, do chandelieres fall under your lamp fetish?!



Wanted and "Needed"

I love my Frye gray boots (best purchase ever),

but it's time for some variety!  I'm in need of a new pair of brown boots.  Specifications include little to no heel, knee height, and wide openings!

Here's my current round up (with the last one in 1st place):

These from Anthro fit the bill!  And those tights are pretty sweet as well!

The Steve Madden's that Kendi wears are pretty cute (and very affordable).

How cute are the bows?!

You can't go wrong with Frye!

Exciting!  Just spotted:  Urban Outfitters online carries the above Frye Paige Tall Riding Boot in a weathered, dark brown.  I like - a lot! 

Suggestions?  Thoughts? 

Time after time

Can you believe it?  Today is my 1 year blogging anniversary!  I posted 251 posts this year!  I'm pretty sure I only have about 7 people that actually read this blog, but that's ok!  I love it!

And just because I hate posting without pictures, here are a few of the Longhorns that took over my house this Saturday!  Although I'm not a fan of that burnt orange, they do look pretty cute!

Never Fear

Hi guys, I'm back!  Sorry I've been gone so long.  The day I got back from Paris I caught a nasty cold!  I'm feeling much better though, and now I'm getting around to my pictures!  Here's a little sneak peak!

My favorite part of the trip!

This was hours before the bomb threat...Phew!

Bonjour

I know my posting has been a bit sporadic lately, and it's just going to get worse the next week and half....why?  I'm off to Paris (on Monday)!!!!  Bonjour, my fellow readers!  I will be back next Wednesday to fill you in on all our adventures!

This weekend will be full of laundry, packing, football, dropping off Gypsy in Napa (*tear*), and babysitting Baby N!  I do hope the weekend flies by, because I can't wait to leave on a jet plane!

Happy Rosh Hashanah and Eid!

shopping fever

You know when you get that bug...that shopping bug...I have it!  Usually when I watch TV, I'm watching via the DVR.  Tonight, I was out of luck, and had to watch TV live....I know - a tragedy.  The bright side, while watching TV I saw all the commercials for H&M's new fall line with Daria Werbowy.  I'm in love!

Foodie

I have a new blog for you!  My friend Tina recently started blogging about her dining experiences!  She is always exploring new restaurants and trying unique foods!  Before she started blogging, I use to tease her for all the pictures she takes of her food - now it works out perfectly!

If you live in the Bay Area or are thinking of visiting you need to check out Food Porn Addicition for the best places to eat! 

Tina & I Texas Party in CA, May 2010

Craving

I am so craving this!  Thankfully, Martha Stewart, I don't have all those ingredients in my pantry!

Jasmine

I haven't posted a weekend recap in two weeks...that's because nothing much has been going on.  Omar has been very busy with work and college football, and I have been relaxing and getting ready for Paris!  (We leave this Monday!  Yea!)  Also, last week we took care of our friends' dog and cat.  Of course I took the opportunity to take some pictures of my new friend, Jasmine!

You can see more of Jasmine here!
