I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! I made crepes with our new de Buyer Crepe kit [which is awesome btw!] and some super yummy braised garlic chicken. Nom nom! Then Chris made me take a picture. The end.

Ahh! I keep getting caught up in the crazy whirlwind of life. Please forgive me once again for my flaky posting. Lemme catch you up on some things with a little picture show.


out and about in D.C


Chris' mother sent us some macarons when she went to NYC. Before Chris devoured them all I snuck myself 3.




Spring flowers




I actually went to NYC myself for the IBS hair show. I'm not sure why I only took pictures of the city and not any of cool hairstyles. Silly me.






Watching Iron Chef has got me more into cooking lately. It's resulted in me spending a chunk of my tax return on new tools [like my new Staub dutch oven!!!] for my little kitchen. One of my new toys is a digital kitchen scale. I bought this specifically for making macarons of course! We [thanks Chris for all that sifting you did!] made these vanilla ones on Friday. They turned out pretty good especially for us first timers. We are going to make more tonight!


After slaving away in the kitchen Chris thought it would be a good idea to make me take a picture.


aaaand that's about it.

meet panda-chan!

Say "Hello!" to my newest addiction to Land of Cuteseas *drumroll please*...Panda-Chan! Panda-Chan was ordered for a friend of mine for Valentines Day so I hope she loves it! Speaking of Valentines Day...does anyone have any special plans? Tonight we are doing our special Valentines Day dinner and the one and only L'Auberge Chez Francois. I can't wait to stuff my face with authentic delicious French cuisine. Yum!





Oh, I also wanted to share some tunes for your listening pleasure. Bon appetit!

My new work in progress!

to sum it all up

My weekend consisted of:


picking out new fabric for a new plush



snuggling and taking naps with my boops





going to class



making cookies and eating yummy food





traveling to enchanted snowy parks to take pictures with the boyfriend






and etc. etc.

outside

Here are 2 new pics from the boyfriend. We tried to take pictures out at this bridge, but I just couldn't do it in 20 degrees freezing ice cold weather wearing ONLY a dress, tights and shoes. So in the car it was!







Oh! Last night we had a snow storm come and visit us and this is what I woke up too! Beautiful right?! I love it! I even had fun digging out our cars from all the snow. I'm also deciding that it's too dangerous for me to drive to school! It's not playing hookie if it's not safe to drive right???

I've been busy with school, work, taking care of the pets & slaving away for the boyfriend. Oh, I've also been busy making this little fella too. What do you think?

How was everyone's night? Mine was pretty awesome. Happy New Year everyone!

happy new year

Chris & I decided to take our last pictures of the year today. I finally was able to wear my winter shorts since the weather was decent today [thank goodness!]. I can't believe it's been a whole year already! I've been thinking about my resolutions for 2011 and I haven't came up with many. So far I have :

1. Work out. My tiny little self isn't going to stay this way forever ya know?! I got to start thinking ahead for the future.

2. Go the extra mile in school. I already work hard studying and what not, but I want to be the best!

3. Try to make more time for creative endeavors.

Anyone else have any resolutions they want to share?

p.s. I hope everyone has a wonderful time tonight! Happy New Year!
