I am officially on spring break kids! LCCMom arrived in town on Friday and we have been living it up at Tavern ever since. On Saturday I brought her to a wild, wild spring break party at Kaitlin’s house.

What? Your idea of a hot spring break party doesn’t involve Rebecca Black with Harry Potter on in the background? Whatever. I’m pretty sure LCCMom thinks we’re all insane. It’s fine. After last night “Friday” is totally the new “Club Can’t Handle Me”.

Back to the main point: Kaitlin graciously hosted a bunch of bloggers friends at her apartment for a pizza making party last night. In attendance was Amanda & Andy, Kelly, Melissa, and myself. Baby Brick Beauty was woefully missed and we left her a drunken sweet voice mail. For the pizza party Kaitlin provided the basics (dough, sauce and cheese) and the attendees brought appetizers, toppings and dessert.

LCCMom and I were all over the appetizer situation. “It’s gonna be a situation” when we’re in charge of appetizers!

We brought a baguette, olive spread, and a white bean eggplant spread…

and while we were buying the spreads we tried a cheese sample (a soft Gorgonzola) and clearly we had to buy that too. I told you… it’s going to be a situation.

We ended up with some great topping options for the pizzas. In total we made 6 mini pizzas which we split.

Vegan pizza with butternut squash, onion, artichoke hearts, and arugula flowers and cheese pizza with a herb crust (!). Obviously, I ate the cheese.

Mediterranean pizza with artichoke hearts and black olives.

1/2 vegan, butternut squash, onion and broccoli pizza.

Broccoli, olive, and onion pizza.

And finally,

Pesto and garlic gold! This was probably my favorite pizza of the night!

In addition to the pizza, there was salad.

Simple, but delicious.

Melissa provided the dessert and it was amazing!

I forget what kind of cookies these were but they were soft and fantastic! Check Melissa’s blog, I’m sure she’ll have more deets about them. She also made a chocolate chip and peanut butter coffee cake. This was my and LCCMom’s favorite dessert.

Yum!

We mostly drank wine, chatted and did blogger things. Like take pictures of bloggers taking pictures of bloggers setting up lighting.

What can I say? It’s what we do.

Overall, it was another great night with my friends! LCCMom had a great time and enjoyed getting to meet the LA blogger community. She also provided motherly guidance… she may or may not have cleaned out Kaitlin’s toaster at one point. Stay tuned… more spring break related posts upcoming!

Monday night Kelly and I decided to beat the week before spring break blues with a trip to Geisha House in Hollywood. We’ve both wanted to go for a while and their entrees are 1/2 price on Mondays! You might remember Geisha House as a bit of a celeb hot spot in like 2008. As an avid reader of US Weekly for most of my life, I can’t say I wasn’t a little curious.

The location is in Hollywood and the exterior is very LA with street art on the side of the building. We had a short wait at the bar for a table. The bar itself was pretty cool.

The bar was tall and, again, very LA. There were also plenty of loungey type places to sit while you wait. Luckily, probably because it was Monday night, we didn’t have to wait long before we were seated. The dining room was smaller than I expected but it was two stories!

Kelly and I decided immediately that the last week before spring break demanded cocktails. I ordered a Geisha’s Kiss which had sake, champagne and lychee fruit.

Tasty! I love me some sake.

Kelly and I consulted with other people and our waiter before ordering entrees. We split everything and all the entrees were half off. We went a little bit wild.

Our first dish was by far my favorite.

Two words: Lobster. Tempera. Do I even need to describe this?  Generous serving of crispy lobster. Is that good? My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

We also ordered beef robata yaki.

It came with three sauces: chili, teriyaki, and curry-ish sauce. The meat was a very nice filet (!) with asparagus and a teriyaki glaze on the meat. The meat was tender and delicious.

Then we turned our attention to the rolls. We all know that I am a sushi fiend so I was excited about this part of the meal.

Confession: I started eating before I had a chance to take a picture. Also, it was blurry. Regardless, this is the Sunset Roll which had crispy shrimp, spicy crab & tuna, cucumber, topped with torched lobster, avocado, and diced red onion. This was my favorite of the two rolls that we ordered. It was good however, it wasn’t Akira level.

Finally, we ordered the Red Samurai Roll which had spicy tuna & cucumber topped with avocado, tuna, grape tomatoes, serrano peppers, & vinaigrette.

Much more photogenic! This roll was also pretty tasty. Kelly liked the Sunset roll better but this one was also tasty. I liked the tomato and the pepper, it made it a little bit different.

Overall, we really liked Geisha House. I probably wouldn’t go on full price days though. I liked the sushi but full price each roll is almost $20. They were good but I’m not sure they were that good. The one thing I will say is that the bathroom was totally sketch. It was downstairs and kind of barren. Who checks bathrooms to see how nice they are? This girl. I would definitely recommend it on a Monday night or for the bar, because the specialty cocktails were pretty good.

In other news: After tomorrow my stress level will be somewhat reduced. Thank. God. After tomorrow I will be on spring break (during which I will be writing a paper). My non academic to do list has been over flowing this week. Luckily I ran into my hair stylist in Coffee Bean Monday am and he immediately offered to fit me in an hour later. You don’t need to know what my hair looked like before. Suffice to say, it wasn’t pretty. But less than an hour later, it was pretty again!

Hopefully the next time you see me I’ll be on break!

Last weekend I was cleaning my kitchen in anticipation of my Mom’s arrival in LA next Friday. Don’t think too hard about the fact that it’s going to take a week for me to clean my apartment. In the process of cleaning I stumbled upon a massive pile of old recipes. Some of the recipes were sent to me by my Mom almost two years ago and I haven’t made them since the summer of 2009 when I was living in Boston. For some reason after my LA move they just disappeared into the abyss of recipes in my kitchen. One in particular caught my eye because I have a ton of left over tortillas.

I made baked tostadas literally three times a week in the summer of 2009. When I found the recipe I knew I had to have it. There were four suggestions as to toppings for the tostadas but I decided to do my own thang. I made this on Saturday after my 8 miler. Here are the troops:

• Roasted Garlic Hummus
• Sea Salt
• Ground pepper
• EVO
• Pine nuts
• Whole wheat tortilla (10 inch)
• Sundried tomato in olive oil <—- from the Fresh and Easy swag bag!

I spread hummus on the tortilla and then topped with sundried tomatoes, pine nuts, salt and pepper.

Then I drizzled EVO over the tortilla and baked at 400 degrees for 10 mins. In a matter of mins I had a crispy tostada!

I was worried that after my 8 mile run this wouldn’t be filling or help me recover but I was happily surprised! This tostada was very filling (the hummus? I think so!) I loved how crispy it was and I love love love sundried tomatoes. I was so happy when I saw them in the swag bag because, even thought I love them, I rarely actually buy them.

I would love to try the gouda and roasted red pepper variation that Everyday Food suggests. Literally, this takes about 15 min total to make and I think it’s ideal because it’s a “kitchen sink” kind of meal. By “kitchen sink” I mean that you could probably throw anything on a tortilla and have a fantastic tostada.

Phew, it has been a busy week. I have a lot of deadlines coming up in the next three weeks. I’ve become accustom to just having one thing due at the end of the semester and so having things due mid semester is a weird adjustment for this law student. My spring break starts on Friday and my Mom is coming into town. We’re just going to hanging out in LA and I’ll be relaxing writing a paper and preparing for finals.

What is your ideal spring break activity? Mine is definitely NOT paper writing but we should be able to do plenty of shopping and eating… both ideal activities for me J

What an awesome blogger filled weekend it has been! Not only did I get to attend an awesome party with Amanda, Andy and Kaitlin, but I also got to chill with new and old blog friends on Friday night. Amanda and Andy organized an awesome meet up at Lady Face in Agoara Hills. This is in Amanda and Andy’s hood. They come into LA all the time, so it was nice to get out of the city and see where they like to chill. Their venue choice did not disappoint.

Lady Face is an Alehouse and Brasserie. I am not a huge beer person, although I do like a beer from time to time. Amanda, Andy, and Becki are major beer experts. Maybe their ways will rub off on me? We all know that I was excited about the “Brasserie” portion of the title. Hello, cheese.

It was fun hanging out with some old blogger friends like Amanda, Andy, Kaitlin and Monica. I also got to meet some new blogger friends like Becki, Kelly, Danielle, and Jessie.We got a nice large table on the outdoor patio. It was a clear night and the patio had heat lamps. It was a good thing we were outside. We all know how out of hand bloggers can get. This night was no different 😉

I decided to start the night with a Blonde. I tried a sample of a hoppey barley brew. I thought I would love hops (hoppey sounds like happy… clearly I am the logic master) but I think hops are going to take some getting used to. I was safe and stuck with the Blonde.

It was tasty, not too heavy and pretty refreshing. This is an easy amateur to go. I have to say that I did have some beer envy when I saw Amanda’s choice.

While I am not a huge fan of dark beers, this one had coffee on top!

I perused the menu with Amanda and we decided the best thing (read: cheesiest thing) to do would be to split three small plates. Amanda had a lactose intolerance scare last week and we decided to celebrate her NOT being lactose intolerant by eating a ton of cheese. It took approximately no convincing to get me on board.

We had…

Brie and Jam Tarts

Jam and Brie is always good. We ignored the salad on the side, obviously.

Mac and Cheese

There were salt and vinegar chips on top. Holy moly was it good! I know the idea of crushed chips sounds weird, but believe me when I saw it was amazing. My favorite thing I ate all night.

Pop Overs with Gruyere

Soft and fluffy, it was very tasty!

I was pretty full from all the cheese and my liver was recovering from Thursday so I stuck to one beer. After the cheese was consumed the bloggers hung out, chatted blogs, hung out with our waiter who looked like Mr. Channing Tatum, and engaged in all out silliness.

Kaitlin being awesome, Andy being serious.

At a certain point there were tiger poses, yoga poses and the married girls whose husband were present  flirting with the waiter. All and all it was a typical blogger night out. You should check out Amanda’s post. Her pics are pretty killer.

Group shot! Special thanks to Jessie for the picture!

Overall, I had a fantastic time eating cheese, drinking beer and hanging out with bloggers! Hopefully there are more good times with bloggers to come in the future.

Are you a beer person? If so, what is your favorite type? I’m pretty ignorant when it comes to beer, but I want to learn!

When Kaitlin first mentioned the Fresh and Easy cocktail party to me last week I had other plans and couldn’t make it. But, my plans ended up getting pushed and I was able to attend as Kaitlin’s +1!

Hot Date!

The event was held at an event space in Culver City called Smog Shoppe. Smog Shoppe is an event space that, unlike the name would suggest, is super green. The space was outside but covered and very LA. Apparently it’s a hot wedding spot! Here is an idea of what the space looked like:

The event was hosted by Fresh and Easy to promote a new line of California wine’s that they are rolling out. I’ve been to Fresh and Easy several times and love how affordable it is. The event also featured food from Fresh and Easy and we participated into a wine tasting for four of the new wines. All the ingredients for a great event! Another great ingredient? Amanda and Andy!

Why do I have no pictures of Amanda and Andy together?

Even though I was late to the event (blame it on the LA traffic) I didn’t miss too much. Kaitlin and I were able to hit the bar for our first glass before the tasting got underway.

I tried a glass of “I heart CA” because, as we all know, I heart CA!

I forget what kind of wine this was… but I can tell you I liked it 😉

Shortly after getting our wine they began the presentation. The resident wine expert at Fresh and Easy, Richard, filled us in on the creation of the wines.

Please note Amanda and I taking creeper pictures of each other.

And then the tasting began! We tried 4 wines: Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet.

First up: Open Field Pinot Gris

I liked the Pinot Gris. I don’t normally order white wine, but the pinot gris was my favorite of the white wines.

Wine 2: Cloud Valley Chardonnay

Confession: no picture of the glass, but I do have a picture of me drinking it! Another confession? Chardonnay has never been my fav but clearly that didn’t stop me from enjoying it.

At this point I realize that I had been drinking on a post 4 mile run empty stomach (bad girl) and I made a bee line for the cheese and meat spread. I immediately isolated the location of the prosciutto and filled up my napkins.

Third wine: Open Field Pinot Noir

This was hands down my favorite and the favorite of the group.

Pinot Noir is my favorite type of wine. This one was jam-ey and delicious. As Kaitlin pointed out, it would pair well with breakfast and peanut butter! Not that I would ever have wine with breakfast….

Fourth and Final: Barrel Ranch Cabernet

The cab was pretty tasty too. What can I say? I’m a red wine kind of girl!

We also got to play a fun game where we guessed the prices of the wines.

There was a lot of debate at our table when it came to our guesses. Andy and Kaitlin we’re all about the cents. These kinds of event always bring out my competitive nature. Lucky for all of us, we guessed the correct price of the Cab down to the penny! What did we win?

Winning! Wine! Duh.

After the tasting portion of the night was over they brought on the food. Thank goodness! I needed some substance in my stomach.

Pear and Brie Crostini with Balsamic reduction

We all know how I feel about brie.

We didn’t actually get any beef, but Chef Cindy (above) made it up to us by bringing over a plate of cookies later!

Shrimp Ceviche

So tasty! Not to mention that it had giant chunks of avocado!

Goat cheese and artichoke tartlets

Goat cheese ravioli

At some point, in the middle of all the food eating, Amanda, Andy, Kaitlin and I decided we needed more Pinot Noir. Kaitlin went for more and came back with an entire bottle!

And this is when the party really got started…

Typical blogger shenanigans ensued including tweeting

Please note that I’m in Kaitlin’s auto correct. That is a sign of true friendship.

We also got nutty with pictures.

I swear, I am NOT the Lindsay Lohan of the blog world.

Taking silly photos of cat portraits in the bathroom?

Check! BTW- Don’t you think Iz needs a portrait like this? Totes.

While the blogger silliness was going down there was also a giveaway. Kaitlin almost won. Almost.

sad faces

But Amanda actually did win! She got a bottle of wine AND a gift card. All told, the boos left with 5 bottles of booze.

And we finished eating dessert. Chef Cindy hooked us up with cookies!

and chocolate cupcakes! I only had one bite because it was my third cake of the day (we have support equal marriage cake at school and I had a cake pop earlier in the day).

It was very, very chocolatey!

After dessert the party wound down. The swag bags were handed out as we left, and I must say, amazing swag bag! There was another bottle of wine, coffee, power bars, candy, chocolate, EVO, crackers and a bottle opener! Overall, this was probably one of my favorite events I’ve been to. The people at Fresh and Easy know how to keep bloggers happy (simple formula: alcohol + cheese + dessert + swag bag = blogger happiness).

Big thanks to Fresh and Easy and RL Public Relations (Allison is with us, above) for throwing an amazing event!

What is your favorite type of wine? As discussed, I am a Pinot Noir girl but I am also partial to Malbec.

Who is a blogger falling behind? This girl! I have a good excuse though. I went to lots of fab parties and events this week! I had a Simmons alumnae event at The Bazaar, the marti gras party, a Fresh and Easy cocktail event (probably the best night ever, recap coming up shortly), and a blogger meet up! Whew. Plus I have a ton of work for school due in the next few weeks. But I cannot complain. It’s been super fun.

The Fresh and Easy event on Thursday was a “less fancy” cocktail party. It was warm out and I didn’t want to wear jeans. After a little thought I came up with this outfit:

Top: Navy Blue Anthropology top – on sale for $9 (!!!!!!!!!!)

Skirt: J Crew gold skirt (on sale)

Bracelet:Gold Cuff Bracelet, Fairfax Flea Market in LA

Jacket (not pictured): Ann Taylor Loft denim jacket

I cannot tell you how much I love this skirt and this top. The skirt was purchased at J Crew last May and doesn’t totally fit anymore (it sits low on my hips but I love it and wear it all the time. The bracelet is also a favorite. I got it for almost no money at the Fairfax flea market. It operates on Sundays and has some great finds! Because the skirt is loose I like to wear a fitted top with it. I got the top off the sale rack at Antro for $9. It was quite the coup. The top is fitted, navy, and has folding details on the top and side. I love this top and wear it all the time… like to Marti Gras and a networking event on Tuesday:

Top:Same Antro Top

Jacket: White eyelet cropped Milly jacket, Consignment

Pants: Dark denim Matchstick jeans J Crew

Same top, another way. For the events on Tuesday I had to move from a networking event to a party and I wanted to be comfortable. These jeans never do me wrong and it should be noted that jeans are acceptable almost everywhere in LA (so long as they’re dark). This jacket is one of my favorites too! I wear it all the time. The jacket is definitely preppy but with jeans it’s not too preppy. I’m in LA now, I need to tone down my prepsterness.

What is your go-to item? I love skinny jeans with flats, that Navy top, obvi, and cute jackets. Can’t go wrong!

How did you celebrate Fat Tuesday this year? I celebrated by having a Cajun food baby thanks to my fantastic friend David and his authentic cooking.

My friend David spent a year of college going to Tulane and thus is the resident expert when it comes to NoLa flavor. David also enjoys fancy hotels, fried chicken and theme parties. No wonder we’re friends! This year he invited people over to celebrate Fat Tuesday with some tradition eats!

Corn bread. David used a simple recipe but improved upon it by adding melted cheese and jalapenos on top! We all know how I feel about adding cheese to anything/everything. The bread was warm and delicious.

While corn bread is an essential to any delicious southern meal, the star of this show was the jambalaya:

I believe this recipe came from the New Orleans School of Cooking but I might be wrong about it. It had all my favorite ingredients: Shrimp, sausage, rice, and seasonings. David made sure to apply a liberal sprinkling of authentic Cajun seasoning, Tony Chachere’s. It was like a lightly spicy salt. I loved this dish and I definitely want to steal the recipe from him. It would be a great thing to cook and then freeze and eat throughout finals season when I’m too lazy to cook. I had two large servings, it was that good!

David also had plenty of authentic entertainment at the party. As you can tell we had fun with masks. He also had some New Orleans jazz playing in the background and our friend Vivi was handing out beads, although you could get them for calling her pretty. I’m not sure it that part jibes with Marti Gras, but hey, what ever works, right? Overall, it was a really nice party and the food was the star of the show.

I had a major Protestant fail yesterday as I didn’t go to church to get ashes. Oh well, can’t win them all. Being that I am a Protestant, we’re pretty chill about lent and what lent entails. No fasting or not eating meat for me! Also, in lieu of “giving something up” I like to “take something on”. This year I’ve decided to spend the next 39 days being more self loving and self supporting. I am definitely my own worst critic. I tend to set very high standard for myself and when I fall short I beat myself up about it. That is a habit I have aimed at curtailing with my New Year Goals but I really want to take the next 40 days to focus in on self support and self love.

Do you participate in lent? If so, do you follow the traditions? I feel like most of my friends aren’t Catholic/practicing Christians and don’t participate in lent, which is actually kinda cool! Not that there is anything wrong with it, I just love having an eclectic group of friends from different backgrounds.

How’s the week going? Mine’s been busy but good! My meals have been dull (with the exception of last night, which I will get to in my next post) but there are three “little” things that have been exciting this week. Let’s get to it!

1. Monday: Van’s Belgium Waffles, and what I’ve been doing when not blogging

Spoiler alert: They aren’t as good as the regular waffles. WF was out of my normal waffles and I didn’t want to eat flax. I know, revoke my healthy living blogger card. I will say that it was nice to mix up my mornings a bit but I can’t wait to get my normal waffles back! Also note the legal book and the lap top. No more nice, quiet mornings for me. Instead I’m focusing on school work. How much longer until May 12th?

2) Tuesday Afternoon: Starbucks

My favorite coffee house drink of all time is a Venti Black Iced Tea with no sweetener. This is well documented as I’ve had a twice a day habit since high school. Yes. I was that girl, running into advisory with Starbucks. It’s ok because I’m not the only person in my family with a twice a day Starbucks habit. The employees at “my Starbucks” in my parent’s town still know my name, and I haven’t lived there for 6 years. Yesterday was they debuted the new Starbucks logo. What do you think of it? I kinda like it. Plus, now Starbucks has cake pops. That’s a winning moment for everybody, right? Fun fact: the first Starbucks in Chicago opened the same week I was born. Coincidence? I think not.

3) Wednesday Afternoon: Red Mango

Can I take a moment to shout out the Cali weather today? It was 80 and sunny! It felt like August. I went on a 4 mile run in the mid morning. I am so not a morning runner. My legs hated me the entire time and it was super hot, especially in the sun. I even ran with a water bottle and the heat was still almost too much for me. On the plus side, after wards I felt like I’d covered 8 miles instead of 4. On the way home from school I decided to treat myself with a little red mango… Key Lime Pie and Dark Chocolate (random, I know, just roll with it) and various toppings. It was so nice as an after school treat!

That’s just a quick taste of what I’ve been up to the past few days. I have a special update coming about Fat Tuesday later. Let’s just say it involved some dellllicous Cajun treats!

What is your go to coffee house drink?

Are you scratching your head wondering what’s for dinner? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered!

Last night I was finishing up homework and doing laundry when I realized I had less than 45 mins to make and eat dinner before I had to leave for yoga. I whipped up this puppy in under 10 mins and ate it in less than 5. Yes, it was that good. I even had enough time to fold my laundry before yoga class.

This recipe comes from Cooking Light (2 wedges are 182 calories- just when you thought this recipe couldn’t get any better it DOES!) and was sent to me by my Mother who clearly knows me too well.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp. Dijon mustard

1 10-inch tortilla (I used whole wheat from TJ’s because it was lower in calories, organic, and relatively cheap)

6 oz. Brie cheese, rind removed, cut into long slices

1/4 of a Fuji apple, thinly sliced

1 small hand full fresh arugula

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Makes a single serving

Instructions:

Spread the mustard all over your tortilla. Place in a large, non stick pan and heat the pan over medium heat.

After the pan heats up, place the stripes of cheese on one half of the tortilla. Let sit for 1 min., or until the cheese starts to melt.

Why hello gooey, melted cheese. Place the slices of apple on top on the melting cheese.

At this time, place your small hand full of arugula over the apples and fold the tortilla over.

Cook for 2 mins on each side and then take off the heat, slice and enjoy!

Clearly, this was a delicious dinner. If melted brie cheese is wrong then I don’t want to be right. The Dijon really made a taste difference and stood out well against the apple and the cheese. My only complaint is that this wasn’t that filling. I had to supplement dinner with an orange and a lara bar (it should be noted that it was my first lara bar in two days).

Then I went off to yoga. I actually ran into Yellow Brick Beauty outside my yoga studio and spent a few mins catching up with her and her husband. It was so nice to see her. It put me in a great mood for my class. There was a substitute teacher for yoga last night which threw me off a little bit at first. I love my Sunday night class because it’s super mellow, candlelit, and involves tons of leg stretches. The sub taught more of a “power yoga” class than a relaxing flow. At first I was annoyed but I started to sweat and I actually ended up enjoying class. I did a rocken’ headstand and left feeling great. I love love love love yoga.

Once I got home I decided to unwind after a very busy (but undeniably awesome) weekend with Desperate Housewives, Brother’s and Sister’s and a little bit of this….

Perfect dessert! Totally hit the spot after a long weekend.

What was the highlight of your weekend? I had a great weekend, but yoga was pretty awesome. Hope you have a happy Monday!

Greetings and happy Sunday! How has your weekend been? Mine’s been busy. I realize that I’ve been a lazy blogger recently. I even got called out on it on Friday night. What can I say? It’s been a busy week. Sometimes law school can feel a little life and death and I like that blogging isn’t. I missed blogging during my mini break but I feel way better than I did a week ago so let’s count this as my return to blogging! I think after my favorite Sunday yoga class tonight I will be back at it and totally WINNING!

Today had been errand filled. I had a law journal meeting at Loyola Law School. Unlike most law journals, the public interest journal is a collaboration between several LA area law schools which is totally awesome. The meetings often take place on Sundays on the East Side. In order to get excited about going I normally treat myself to breakfast on my way east.

Like remember when I went to Kings Road Cafe? That was before a law journal meeting. Today I decided to check out Paper or Plastik which I’ve wanted to check out since Lynn first blogged about it.

Source

What an awesome cafe/coffee shop! I got there around 9:30 and there were plenty of places to sit. The baristas were really nice. Sometimes in good coffee places you expect the baristas to be pretentious but that is not the case at Paper and Plastik!

I ordered a large low fat iced latte (my “I need energy and iced tea isn’t going to cut it” drink) and a croissant. They have three special sandwiches for the day (goat cheese and preserves, um yes!) and they also had assorted pastries for another cafe. I decided to splurge on a ham and cheese croissant (I have had one in over a year). How was it? Tasty, flaky, buttery and delicious.

The food was up quick and I had no problem finding a place to camp out with my reading.

I spent about 45 mins eating and reading and the cafe was busy but not overcrowded. I wonder if it’s like this on weekdays because I can see it being an awesome finals studying place.

I also wrote a cramped outline for my paper. It looks like something someone would be clutching while getting admitted to an asylum but it’s some serious progress. I haven’t written a paper that isn’t a legal memo in almost two years. It’s nice to see I’ve still “got it”.

Also, Kaitlin posted earlier today about handwriting. This isn’t a cute list of questions but now you can see how terrible my handwriting actually is!

I’m actually pretty terrible at spelling but I also like to think that I’m living proof that you don’t have a be good at spelling to be a successful person!

Now I have to take care of laundry, homework, dinner and yoga! Cannot wait to go back to my Sunday yoga class! It’s been three weeks since I’ve been able to make it to Sunday yoga and man do I need it!

Are you good at spelling? Spelling was always my least favorite subject in elementary school. I blame it on dyslexia.
