Big and Life-changing!
About to start a closet makeover!!!!!
Picture soft grey walls. A white-shaded, silver light fixture. White/natural storage items. MATCHING HANGERS!!!!!! Basically, The Container Store (and some Home Depot) in my closet. Minus Elfa. I can't afford that great lady. Yet.

Black beans and rice
My go-to, made-it-up-off-the-top-of-my-head-one-lonely-boring-night recipe. Watch for my secret ingredient. This is proof that reading cookbooks pays off.
The sad part? I forgot my caramelized pineapple! Take canned pineapple rings and brown in skillet.
Delicious!

Nothing feels better than pretty
...except things like charity and humility and the like, of course. :)

Lentil spaghetti
Whole wheat spaghetti with tomato sauce, onions, green peppers, jalapeños, carrots, garlic, and lentils. A little red wine and seasonings to round it out. Yum!
Signs of the Apocalypse 1-27
In my end-of-the-semester boredom, I've been emailing back-and-forth with an email friend (the kind of friend you only convo with through email and whose physical appearance you've long forgotten), creating a random list of signs of the impending 12/21/12 apocalypse. In no particular order (and I'm not promising they are all funny or genius...I only created half the list :):
1. Casey Anthony is still on the news. And there are still more theories.
2. No more Dublin Dr. Pepper.
3. Walgreen's is opening a flagship store that will sell sushi.
4. Inheritance is sucking.
5. 24 is being made into a movie. It just won't die.
6. Jersey Shore
7. Twilight
8. the Chelsea Handler sitcom
9. rumored remake of Big Lebowski
10. Tim Tebow. Because being a Christian and an athlete is somehow a miracle? Has no one else seen all the rosary bling on ESPN?
11. Three shelves in Barnes and Noble for "Teen Paranormal Romance"
12. Rosaries as bling.
13. The death of Borders.
14. Katy Perry's divorce. You know, because she's such a good evangelical Christian like her parents.
15. Nancy Grace showing good judgement when kicking Joran Van der Sloot's friend off her show.
16. John Stamos reuniting with the Beach Boys. God I miss Full House.
17. Yoga being a $6 billion dollar industry. Yoga. The simplistic, back to nature, good and wholesome, in touch with our bodies, lifestyle and exercise. $6 billion a year. I blame it on the $110 sweat-wicking yoga pants... that women wear to the grocery store and the mall. And to school (no joke, our math teacher).
18. Teachers still wearing Christmas sweaters even though "tacky sweater" parties are all the rage.
19. Kardashians (why has this one not been mentioned yet? Too obvious?)
20. Comments. Have you ever read the comments section of any article or blog? A lesson in futility for people with anything of value to say. 90% of them are horrific! I like to think there is just 1 person out there spending all his time writing the comments because there can't possible be that many racist/ignorant/bigots/potty-mouths (literally) out there.
21. TLC still being called The Learning Channel. What are we learning? How to clone our dogs? Have octuplets? It's trashier than Bravo.
22. Bravo.
23. The end of 30 Rock. :(
24. Shows built around people doing their jobs. Oh wow, it's totally interesting watching people fish, cut down logs, look for gold, work at a pawn shop, buy old stuff. Is it because so many people don't have jobs, they're just interested in watching someone that does? Also, why are we still surprised when someone sings well on talent shows anymore?
25. Auto-tune
26. Frozen PB&J. How lazy can mamas get?
27. Haley Barbour (outgoing Louisiana governor) pardoning a bunch of murderers and letting them out of prison at his last minute in office. I think he's going to use them to form a mafia. They definitely owe him big-time.
to be continued, I'm sure.....

Curried egg salad
Very yum! A few tweaks for next time: 4 eggs, more yogurt, more apples, add grapes and raisins and fewer onions/chives. I like it sweeter.

Super chaise and a book!
My living room set unfortunately did not come with an ottoman. So, when company isn't around, I invented the Super Chaise!
