I DO Have Taste

Lately, some of my friends have been making fun and/or rolling their eyes when I say what colors I'm using in my place. I dusky blue accent wall, hot pink accents and some yellow.

Um, hi. Is this a lovely inspiration board from an interiors store where people design for a living? Oh it is? Oh did they use a dusky blue, hot pink and yellow color combo? Oh, they did?

SEE.

I'm not weird.

I Have No Patience

I bought my first big girl couch about a month ago and I'm awaiting it's arrival as we speak. It's very exciting really.

I also leave at 7pm tonight to go to Texas for a week. Very exciting as well.

Last night, John helped me throw out my old couch. It was time for him to be retired to dumpster land and live out his days.

That leaves only my bed to sit on right now. Well, the only cushioned thing to sit on. My bed is also in my bay window giving me a perfect view of my street. So naturally I am constantly looking outside for a Roy's Furniture truck to come gliding down the street.

It's killing me.

They are delivering between 11am-3pm. But of course, every minute that goes by that I don't see the truck, I panic.

- What if they inputted the date wrong and think it's tomorrow?

- What if they already tried to buzz me but I was in the bathroom?

- What if it wasn't really Roy's who I spoke to on the phone but a kidnapper and I am unknowingly waiting to be blindfolded, gagged, and thrown in the back of a small private jet that will take me to Russia where I am questioned on my knowledge of the entire Real Housewives series?

Valid fears.

Alright, back to more waiting.

If you don't hear from me soon, please don't send help. No one needs to get messed up with Russian spies. It's risky business. Tell my mom I love her.

(Yep. Your eyes aren't deceiving you. My walls are two different colors. I haven't finished painting yet. Sue me. I'm BUSY. Gees.)

I Am A Horrible Person

I wrote a sketch once about a family who's daughter had gone missing. They were eating dinner at the dinner table and in the chair where the daughter would normally have sat, they had put a portrait of her to "represent" her being there.

The sketch originally took place on the set of a Dateline type show where the family was being interviewed about the daughter's disappearance. Sitting next to the son was a portrait of the daughter to "represent" her in the interview.

It was very dark, a little sick, and (to me at least) absolutely hilarious. The family would talk to the portrait like she was really there, except for the mother who would just cry every time she spoke.

The more I describe this sketch, the more horrible I realize I am.

The real reason I'm explaining all this is because, well, look:

That's right folks. It's real. It's. Real. Oh dear. I think I feel really embarrassed and ashamed and also dumbfounded. Eeesh.

Yummy Healthy Treat

Friends, I'm trying eat healthier. I'm not talking about dieting or trying to lose weight or anything, just in general eating better so that I am actively taking care of my body and not filling it with processed foods junky junk.

One of my favorite treats (drumroll please....)


Look, I'm not a huge protein bar fan or really fan of any kind of diet or supplement bar, but these are an exception. They are so yummy.

They come in so many flavors and are made from real organic ingredients and not gross protein powder. They taste like a really chewy sweet granola bar. Nothing weird inside that looks like nougat but tastes like cardboard. The one I just finished eating was "Kettle Corn." Lots of nuts, pieces of popcorn, chocolate chips (the real kind, not Hershey's), cashews, crispy brown rice.

Ugh. I sound like one of those people, but I'm telling you. My body deserves the best (as does yours) and these are a delicious and very filling treat that isn't bad. And when I say filling I mean, seriously filling. Might be nice if you had to eat breakfast in a hurry...

Anyway. I encourage you try one. I like them. Yay!

Pro Bar did not endorse this blog. I just like sharing things I like.

Fear

Every time Caroline (Real Housewife of New Jersey) says the word "family," chills run down my spine. I mean seriously. It's not just "family" when she says "family.". It's like..."family:"




Shudder.

I would be lying if I didn't say that I absolutely love Caroline despite the spine chills. She's my favorite New Jersey Housewife.

What do YOU do when you run into your boyfriend at an audition?

In my case, I gave him a big kiss. THEN he suggested that we spontaneously BurgerQuest and try MBurger, which happened to be nearby.


It was delish. We ordered single cheeseburgers with fries and a chocolate shake to split. I mean this in a good way, it was like a glorified McDonalds burger with a glorified frosty from Wendy's. I love both of those things. To enjoy a similar flavor with quality ingredients and a slightly better flavor, I'm totes in. It wasn't greasy at all. I was really surprised and out how un-greasy it was.

The fries were AWESOME. Crispy, then, soft on the inside, just salty enough. Yum. They say "delicious" on the wrapper for a reason.


We also got to enjoy a nice view of the kitchen at Tru. The executive chef of Tru also runs MBurger. Tru is one of the first restaurants I wanted to go to when I moved to Chicago.

I STILL HAVEN'T BEEN THERE.

I heart Gale Gand who is the executive pastry chef/partner of the Tru. Someday I will go there. She also owns More Cupcakes, mmmmmmmmm-yummmmm. John thought is was weird that we were watching the chefs while they worked. I couldn't take my eyes off of them. They probably thought I was creepy.

Go to MBurger! Five Guys is still the favorite but I think MBurger might be a close second. I really want to go back and try a caramel shake (not on the menu....I smell an In N Out wannabe!) and the actual MBurger which includes bacon and their secret sauce. I love secret sauces...and secret things not on menus.

RIP

4 of my friends will get this. I said goodbye almost a month ago. I don't feel any regret.


Yes, it's the theme music from Farmville. Yes. Farmville has theme music. Bite me. Don't bite me. That was a figure of speech. Seriously. Stop biting me. Ow. Stop. Dahmer, seriously, stop. I'm not food..ahhh...AHHH, you guuyyysss.....I....AHHHHHH.
