a couple years ago i went to orlando to see an exhibit featuring the street artists tes one, bask and parskid. what an amazing show! i wanted to take everything home with me!

my favorite was bask

"chicken hawk" painted on a dining room table... the weird thing about this one is that when i saw it at the show in orlando it reminded me of this girl i had meet a couple times... turns out it is the girl i was thinking of! weird! love this one... its by far my favorite

an installation called "99 bottles of beer on the wall"

exciting stuff!!

the ohh so lovely brandi over at a mainland streel passed on the beautiful blogger award to me!

receiving this award requires that i list seven interesting things about myself, then pass it on to five other bloggers

first thing first... seven randoms about me...

1) i cant seem to type properly. i hate using capital letters and rarely use proper punctuation. not sure why but its only on the computer! i right perfect (well i try) english when im at work or writing letters! weird

2) i went to the renaissance festival a couple weeks ago and the guy selling pickles called me a hippie goth... i liked it!

3) one of my bestest friends, jenn, lives in VA and i just booked my trip to go see her in july. ill be gone for 7 days! 7 days of relaxing and hanging out with my girl! is it july yet?

4) my sister and i run the front office of a physical therapy company. i see her at the minimum 5 days a week and we usually end up hanging out on the weekends. i dont know what id do if we didnt live near each other!

5) im sure people would like to know why in the hell the word twat is in the title of my blog... the truth... i love the word! thats pretty much it. i like the fact that people dont judge me for it either. well not yet, not to my face. i like that people still venture over to my blog even though im sure some dont like the word. i dont find it offensive and i guess in that way im trying to get people to embrace the word! hehe

6) im a food snob. i love good food with minimal chemicals... i try to buy only organic... and i dont mind spending money on it. i spend most of my paycheck at the grocery store haha. if your going to put something in your body it might as well be the best quality and organic, no? i guess i can say i spend more money to take care of my body now instead of spending it on medical bills in the future! hopefully that pans out for me! =P

7) i have a sewing machine. not super exciting news but the random fact about this one is that ive had it for about 3 years now and i have no idea how to sew... ive NEVER used it! when i got it i only had one job but now with 2 jobs plus life... things tend to get busy which leaves me with little spare time. my goal is to teach myself how to sew within the next couple months! i have faith i can accomplish this! wish me luck

now... who to pass this lovely award to?

these are some of my favoritest blogs

1) MissRobyn over at twitch vintage
2) MissBecky over at strumpets crumpets
3) MissEmma over at from scratch
4) MissRebecca over at consider my dear
5) MissEvan over at a nerd like me

well that was fun... hope everyone loves these blogs as much as i do!

...my failed dinner&my recent obsessions...

the BF and i love mac and cheese and ive been dying to try to make a homemade version! sooo last night i tried... and failed miserably! haha the mister says it was pretty good but i hated it! im a lets wing it kinda gal when it comes to cooking. i ALWAYS add more ingredients or forget something and have to improvise. im quite a mess in the kitchen but as ive said before i have fun while being that mess so its ok!! haha well i used the wrong size dish and didnt think about the fact that the bread crumb topping was for a larger dish! to say the least it was more of a bread crumby mac and cheese... EWWW! too many bread crumbs is not the same as too much cheese or too many veggies! its just plain no bueno!all i can say is that for my next try at the mac and cheese it will be bread crumbless!!! haha

...anywho...

here are some fun things ive been obsessing over as of late root beer floats... self explanatory!can we say yumE

<span class=

greek yogurt... holy hell this stuff is amazing... a bit tangy, real thick... so far the strawberry is my favorite

<span class=

VW bugs and buses... i need one of these in my life... or better yet both! i am in love with these vehicles! not to mention i think id look fabulous in them! haha

alfredo with veggies...

so last night was a eat up all the veggies before they go bad night... which is always a fun night cause i get to be creative instead of just follow a recipe (not that i follow recipes to the t... but still). im a pretty silly and crazy cook but on these nights i look a bit nutty in the kitchen, running around adding last minute spices or random ingredients. the mister is always laughing at me when im in the kitchen. whatever, i have fun! hehe Photobucket i steamed up all the cauliflower and broccoli i had, sauteed up the rest of the squash and zucchini, tossed that with alfredo sauce (store bought... i really need to work on making my own) and served it with pasta! yum yum yum the cauliflower/ alfredo combo is so amazing! i will definitely be making that again!

ohhh how i love music...

a while ago i blogged about the theme song to your life... WELL... i found it! and i have to say it is quite fitting (haha obviously) and the most awesomest part is that its a song by (one of) my favorite bands... Metric... i am retardedly obsessed with this band... their sound, emily haines voice, their lyrics... all so amazing!

"Help, I'm Alive"

I tremble
They're gonna eat me alive
If I stumble
They're gonna eat me alive
Can you hear my heart
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

Help I'm alive
My heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be soft
Tough to be tender
Come take my pulse the pace is on a runaway train
Help I'm alive
My heart keeps beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

If we're still alive
My regrets are few
If my life is mine
What shouldn't I do?
I get wherever I'm going
I get whatever I need
While my blood's still flowing
And my heart's still
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

Help I'm alive
My heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be soft
Tough to be tender
Come take my pulse the pace is on a runaway train
Help I'm alive
My heart keeps beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

If we're still alive
My regrets are few
If my life is mine
What shouldn't I do?
I get wherever I'm going
I get whatever I need
While my blood's still flowing
And my heart's still
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

Help I'm alive
My heart keeps beating like a hammer  My heart keeps beating like a hammer Photobucket
