Date Night (Sushi&Fondue)

Date Night Outfit

(Recognize that Shirt & Blazer? Thanks, Target!)

Now this is how you order sushi!

Boyfriend always picks really good rolls...

my faves are the dynamite & spicy octopus rolls

Public Service Announcement:

there are directions listed on recipes for a reason!

Rather than following them, Boyfriend put all of the ingredients into a pot

(much earlier than they were needed)

and they boiled over the edge, and burned to death all over the stove.

needless to say, I had to go back to the grocery store for more ingredients

and had an awkward conversation with the checkout guy that looked a little like this:

Checkout Guy: Weren't you just here?

Me: Yea, my boyfriend and I were going to make fondue, but he didn't read the directions and the ingredients boiled out of the pot & burned all over the stove

Checkout Guy: Oh, I guess that makes sense. I saw the whipping cream

and strawberries and was like, "Hmmm."

*Awkward Pause*

Me: Yea, not so much.

distracting myself with a mini-photo shoot of yours truly.

in my mind I'm thinking:

"Is my boyfriend really that stupid eager?! We should break up.

How did he not read any of the directions before starting to cook?!"

Crushed Raspberries for our Homemade Fondue

White Chocolate

(and how amazing is my turquoise nail polish?)

It's my favorite!

If there is a heaven,

I hope they serve this every night for dessert.

Bulls-Eye...Pow!

Dear readers,

If there's one thing my friends know about me, it's that I love Target! I repeat, I love Target! In fact, on my days off from work over the summer I almost always went there, despite my total and complete lack of need for anything - I just like browsing the new clothing and checking out the on-sale movies. and buying eyeliner. and nail polish. and knock-off Frye Harness boots. Ooohh, and rhinestone studded snake rings...which is quite possibly the best purchase I made in 2009. and it was only $10! but I'm obsessed with it and get compliments all the time! (If you don't know which ring I'm referring to, it can be seen in my previous blog entitled "Fave Rave" - swingset at the beach picture...ch-ch-ch-check it!)

Anyways, I made a random trip to Target tonight in the attempt to delay going home and ugh! I would be mad at myself if I didn't love my new stuff so darn much. You see, I have a problem. It's seems as though I cannot NOT spend money when I go to Target. I walk in the store and fall in love with everything. So anyways, despite wanting to save my money, my random & spontaneous trip to Target cost me $60.99.

But look what I got(!):

Black Boyfriend Blazer, Fitted V-Neck Tshirt, Knit Hat,

Picture Frames (Set of 10 for $6.25!), & Soup (for dinner)

How cute is this shirt?! Love the tiger!

I've been looking for a cute hat forever...it fits really well, is an interesting color, and has pom-poms! woo!

Love, S

Fave Rave

FACT: No one likes taking pictures of themself more than me. It's true. Which begs the question - What the hell would I do without 10 second timers?!

You see, while visiting my mom for Christmas Break, I stumbled upon a new favorite outfit. Obviously, photographic documentation was necessary so I went on down to the beach and proceeded to stage my very own makeshift photoshoot. (Insert wandering eyes scanning the sand for any approaching humans...all clear? POSE.)

Though quite a basic outfit, I've never really worn a short skirt with tights & boots in the winter (though winter in SC isn't much of a winter at all)...readers, I loved it. Wearing skirts with tights is going to be my new "thing" this year. In fact, I've since bought a fun pair of black patterened tights and even some purple ones.

Also, you may sleep well @ night that if I ever become President, my first act as leader of the country will be to propose a new law making swingsets overlooking the beach m a n d a t o r y. Yes Please and Thank You! Oh what a world it would be...

Love, S
