A composition of chaos

Before my posts really get far and few between and before everyone has this big idea in their head that I live such a glamorous life, I've decided to share some details of the past few weeks, days, hours, minutes...

A usual lunch I bring. Not picture all are my cucumbers and carrots.

I found this delicious falafel place in west village called Taim. Definitely going again!

My sabich sandwich: sliced eggplant, fried to order, with an organic egg, parsley, hummus, israeli salad, marinated cabbage, tahini and amba sauces. It was serious so delicious, fresh and light.

It had an Austin-like vibe and super cute and small

Clockwise from top: Crab benedict, croque madame, BBQ pulled pork sandwich, skirt steak breakfast casserole

Roommates...

L made a carrot cake. We had a slice right away.

24 hrs later...this is why we wake up at 6:30am to work out

Sea of Shoes...I finally unpacked another box. All my other shoes are strewn haphazardly all over the apt. The kicker: I don't even wear my heels as much anymore.

Mattie got me the wonderful Molskine recipe journal. I love love love it and looking at recipes. Cannot wait to fill it with my most delicious finds!

Chris brought this back for me from Korea. His name is Sunshine. 

This past Wednesday I went to a screening of Going the Distance. It was a nice night and fun movie to watch...though I wouldn't see it again or pay to see it, and came with a swag bag from which I love the vampire perfume item the most. NOT.

It was filled with random stuff though but my favorite is the nail polish. Or maybe the fake Spanx by Dr. 90210, lol. And yes, that is KY Yours+Mine personal lubricant...maybe I can sell it on the street?

My multicultural team is going to Hill Country BBQ for a taste of Texas. They have stuff like Longhorn Cheddar Mac and Cheese. I am excited!!! And hungry...

Roommate hang out this week. And definitely more baking. I ordered a food processor from Amazon (side note: I am obsessed with shopping on Amazon. I've place 10 orders in the last month. I am on an Amazon budget. No more for August. And then only one order a week starting in Sept.) that has not yet arrived. It better not be lost. I've been looking forward to this for the whole week! So many things to make.

The weather has been great, if not phenomenal. We had a cold front and I got to wear a scarf. Last night I actually wanted to wear my sweater while walking home. And this morning was absolutely beautiful! Loves it.

Also, I cannot wait for my friends to come visit. HINT HINT

It's my party...

Though I've been feeling sad about spending yet another birthday away from my loved ones, things are starting to look up. Today I came home to this:

Okay, so it didn't really look like that. It was actually in a USPS box with just my address on it. Gabby, don't think you can just not put your address on something and think that I would not recognize your handwriting.

Anyways, I decided I would be good and not open it until my actual birthday.

JUST KIDDING. I just wanted to pretend I had the patience. HAH!

I know you're dying to know what's inside, just as I was.

I'll add a lot of break so you have to scroll down all the way.

Keep scrolling...

Glitter gold TOMS!

Only a best friend would remember that one time you mentioned that you wanted these shoes when talking about her baby brother buying a pair for own best friend. I now declare TOMS shoes best friends shoes.

Now, if only I were going to work tomorrow. I want to wear them out!!!
