Television...to have or not to have...that is the question.

Ugh, one of my least favorite things about moving is waiting to have your television hooked back up.  Yes, I admit it, I am addicted to TV.  It's sad, I  know, as I should be reading, unpacking, exercising, etc.  but I love me some TV, especially reality TV. :)  I feel like I am missing out with my lovely housewives, the pathetic bachelorette and now this new show on the Style Network.

I am dying to see this!  The show supposedly follows around the 'elite' of Dallas however they film at a random country club in Fort Worth.  I cannot wait! :)  Fortunately for me, I do not have to wait too long.  As of 11:51am today we are back with television and Internet.  Thank you!!!  I seriously was starting to take my many issues with Comcast as a sign that B and I were just not destined to watch television.  Hopefully tonight I can get a little unpacking done, but then get caught up on all these silly shows.  Cheers!

Moving Day!

First pic at our new house!

Sorry for a blurry iPhone post, but the computer is not hooked up yet...

Forgive me for my lack of posts, but I can honestly say since we got back from New York, we have been in constant motion.  Moving is never fun but couple that with literally no energy from this bebe in my belly, and it is really not fun.  I should not sound so negative though as I am thrilled to be in this new house!  We have so much more space, and I cannot wait to get going with all the nursery plans.  Hopefully this week we can get unpacked and get some pictures up, finally!  Happy Monday!

My New BFF

It's so cliche, but I feel like time is just flying by.  I seriously don't know where this week went.  Of course, still don't have all the New York pics up, but I have a good excuse.  We are moving!  Two weeks from today.  Yikes!  SO much to do and so little time.  And of course, we are headed out of town today.  Always. :)  It'll be a quick and fun trip (B's family reunion!), but in the meantime here's one little NYC pic for you...

Me and my new bff Andy Cohen :)

Yes, I admit it and own it.  I am obsessed with Bravo's Real Housewives series.  Obsessed.  I love them all and wish each episode was three hours long. :)  Even more so, I love Andy Cohen.  He cracks me up!  Do you watch Watch What Happens Live?  It is hysterical.  He is a genius with this series, and I definitely shared with him a few of my ideas for some upcoming series.  Who knows, maybe he'll actually use them!

Just try and save room for dessert

Well sadly I'm still sorting through all our NYC pics, but I thought I'd start with our first stop when we arrived...Carnegie Deli.  I know, I know, some of you that know Manhattan are probably thinking 'touristy,' but for me I had to take B here.  It is a 'must-go' for my family.  Every trip to NYC we would always go to Carnegie Deli.  I remember being in the fifth grade and ordering a bagel with cream cheese, and it came with literally an entire block of 8 oz. cream cheese.  They are know for their portions. :)

We arrived and were shuffled back to our table which included two other couples.  It's quite the tight squeeze in the place and intimate conversations are definitely not had here. ;)  My favorite part is definitely the bowl of pickles they plop down for you to munch on as you wait.

 B took in the menu and eyed the other patrons and was a bit overwhelmed.

He settled on the turkey and cheddar...

But I was so wishing he would have gone for the Reuben!

Being the vegetarian that I am, I was quite content with my double decker grilled cheese.  Yum!

And to truly capture the New York deli experience, we had to order a potato knish.  It was amazing!

All in all a fun and filling ;) experience.

 Sadly though we did not save room for dessert. 

 How incredible does this look??

Next time!

Home cooking

Well we are back from the Big Apple and had quite a big time.  Forgive me for my delay in posting but I was worthless last week.  We had the best trip, and I love NYC probably more than most, but wow it took it out of me!  Being preggers coupled with LOTS of walking and LOTS of late nights, I was pooped when we got back.  Luckily I was champ during the time we were there. :)  Would you believe I have not even uploaded my pics yet!  I promise that is my homework for tonight.

In the meantime, here's a little something to wet your appetite.  So B is in Atlanta this week for work, so this weekend I sent him off with a yummy home cooked meal (since the bun in the oven arrived, there have been very few meals made in our real oven!).

I found these fabulous recipes from my friend and former college roommate's website.  Jenny is amazing!  Check out her blog Everyday Occasions.  I opted for the grilled bruschetta as our app to start.

This was such a hit!  So simple and so delicious!

I was dying to try her grilled herb shrimp as well, and it did not disappoint.  Paired with my roasted Brussels sprouts and fingerling potatoes, it was a delectable dinner.



Some exciting news to share...

Well we're headed off to the Big Apple!  I'll be back on Monday with some fun posts from our adventure.  But in the meantime, here's some fun news to share...

We are SO excited! :)

One for One

I love TOMS.  I think the shoes are unique and fun without trying too hard.  I adore the fact that the company is all about giving back!  Buying shoes is always a treat but how nice to know that with my new kicks someone else in need is getting a pair as well.

In addition to my gold and red flats, I just purchased this new pair for summer.

I am so excited though to learn that TOMS is now offering sunglasses!

Have you checked out the new line?  Do so here.  Every pair purchased will help TOMS give sight to one person in need—through medical treatment, prescription eyeglasses or sight-saving surgery.  How cool!
