{foodie} duck confit

I love me a good duck confit & I've been craving it ever since Saturday when we were getting day wasted & talking about the duck tacos from Sammy's {Mmm. Yum}. Went to this quaint little French cafe for lunch today with Thida & they had a duck confit entree with truffle fries. I would have to say, it was preeetty good.

{foodie} milkshakes

I'm not a milkshake connoisseur, but I do like me a good Oreo banana shake {best ones are from which wich} or a chocolate banana shake. But, I'm pretty sure when you make a milkshake you're suppose to blend the banana...not just drop it in there... bangin' burgers, you have officially failed {sigh} what a disappointment.

Memorial day weekend! Ahh, the first signs of summer. Hooray! But, really thank you to the men & women who have died serving our country & for those still serving our country. {as i'm typing this, I am realizing I had one too many mules + maybe should not have eaten that brownie.} but, here's a recap of my wonderful weekend. 

urge gastropub. not really a fan of their food, but i'd have to say their kahlaua pork sliders are pretty darn yummy & flavorful + their anjou salad. {yum yum yum} + beer tasters + awesome company. 

Hong Kong. {mmm, mmm, mmm} great hole in the wall chinese place after a long day{& night} of drinking.

Basic white mashed potato pizza + sausage + mushroom + pepperoni + bacon + basil. {um, yum!}

{quotes} my all time favorite


I would have to say this is my all time favorite quote. Regardless of terrible my day went, I know I gave it everything I got {even when I am extremely tired & unmotivated}, so if it does not work out, tomorrow is a new day & I get a fresh start & can start over.

{oh, baby baby... baby baby!}

...ah. push it! {Hah kidding not reminiscing about salt-n-peppa.} but really in like a few months someone will be pushin' it & it sure won't be me. {I love you, Carolcakes!}

I'm happy & thrilled for my dear friends to be having a baby. & I'm excited I get to be planning their shower. {& I'm sure I'm in way over my head} But, I do know one thing & I know it is going to be spectacular! I'm definiltey loving the idea of the "shower" theme with clouds, umbrellas, sunshine & raindrops. {oh boy this gets me excited!} I just hope the vision I have in my head can be brought to life. {errr.}

{random texts} from terrible people


So, I'm sitting there last night watching American Idol, still have about an hour to go, {& I'm sure I could have googled it to see who won, but I really wanted to actually watch the whole thing} when I received this text message from some random person in West Virginia...



What the hell!? Seriously!? Ugh. Thank you, whoever you are for ruining it. Much appreciated.

{here we go...} I'm gonna start blogging...


I'm gonna do it... I have been pondering this for quite sometime since I read a gazillion blogs a day, but I'm making the leap & decided I'm going to start blogging my life away & maybe just look back on this one day & think to myself, what the hell was I thinking. So, get excited {yay!} 

So, here I go...
