I think I am going to "officially" make my one and only blog "<a href="http://brandnewhoosier.blogspot.com/">Brand New Hoosier</a>" aka my secret project. Check. It. Out.<br />
<br />
I may post some projects on here so when I have time to work on them, I know where they are all kept!<br />
...like <a href="http://ohhellofriend.blogspot.com/2010/10/guest-blogger-heather-from-blessed.html">this one</a>:<br />

Now I've just gotta decide whether to go for the day or the weekend. Thank you CPA exam. It will probably be just the day.<br />
<br />
First CPA exam: Oct. 4th. YIKES.

<br />
Surprise! It's another blog I've been doing. I've been cheating on this one with my other blog called <a href="http://brandnewhoosier.blogspot.com/">"Brand New Hoosier</a>." You can read through it all. I've been working on it since April I think? It's pretty self explanatory. I chose<i> today </i>to share it with all my friends and family because it was a deadline for me to work towards. You can read more of the explanation on <b><a href="http://brandnewhoosier.blogspot.com/2010/08/saturday-weigh-in-story-time.html">this</a></b> post.<br />
<br />
As for this blog...you can probably tell I've been slacking. I will still probably post things as I come across them, but my other blog will definitely be updated much more regularly :)Life's an Adventurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10743749865690245782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744598955249147984.post-61942907798483200762010-08-20T16:48:00.000-07:002010-08-20T16:48:53.697-07:00I Suck.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/raceytay/3746997030/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmvwOkim4cYS2eCV8zgPPxJ7YjcaacpSP8xiGwuh0hwWbX8Y2sf8IWUdkcP3cgSWFsDD-nesfWhayFOlzCaDIrg25lIj6cIFcGdjpv3dqRAJPKDIFmI2KZM8rTiGCe-CVQeVcm9MQuvQw/s320/pretty.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Ya, I suck at posting on here. I finished my first week of work and couldn't be happier it's the weekend! Sunday is the unveiling of my "secret project" which is 1/3 done.<br />
<br />
This weekend will consist of farmers markets, going to the gym, and car shopping :)Life's an Adventurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10743749865690245782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744598955249147984.post-87006889504866694532010-08-16T19:12:00.000-07:002010-08-16T19:12:29.972-07:00First Day: DoneFirst day as an "adult" is over.

Lovely.<br />
<br />
Since I painted my bedroom at home white and I'm moving back into it in a few days, I've been searching for a bedspread. It's time for me to grow up. No more bright pink. I found an awesome bedspread from Anthro but it's a little $$$$.<br />

Class was cancelled Friday so I headed home Thursday night...after a little stop in Broadripple. Friday I took my sisters to the Monon Center which is basically a small little water park. Then it was "game night" with my best friend from high school and her college friends. It was so much fun and gave me the perfect idea for my sign language presentation! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, I was planning on heading back to school Saturday morning but instead, I got dragged to northern Indiana to help my mom clean out my grandpa's house and get it ready to be sold. It ended up being way more fun than I thought because I had to clean out drawers and closets and ended up finding </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">TEETH</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">! False teeth...multiple pairs. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But that is not the highlight of my finds. I was taking things to his garage when I saw a dirty black bag. I opened it up and found an old Polaroid camera!!!!! It took me a second to figure out how to get it opened, but after I did, I pressed the button and it took a polaroid picture. The film was super old and not good anymore, but it got me super excited to order some online and try it out. Since Polaroid stopped making film, I've gotta order it and it's running about $25 for 8 pictures. Ughhhh</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

Basically, the website uses filters to make your landscape look like it's actually a miniature version. I think it's pretty cool...so I tried it on one of the St. Louis landscape pictures I took from the top of the arch, and here is the before and after.<br />

</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This weekend, "S" (hahaha) I mean Stacy and I fell in love with the Drunken Fish's sticky fries. They are sweet potato fries covered in a thick honey sauce and sprinkled with black sesame seeds. We dipped them in spicy mayo. I was craving them, and didn't have any other food in my apartment besides a partial bag of Trader Joe's Chipotle Sweet Potato Fries. I baked them up and drizzled honey over them. I didn't have any sesame seeds, but I didn't miss them. Since I didn't have any mayo, and in an attempt to reduce calories, I made spicy greek yogurt! I used plain greek yogurt and mixed it with buffalo wing hot sauce. It was sooo good. Stacy, you should definitely grab some of the TJ's fries next time you're home because they have the perfect crispiness and aren't fried.</span>Life's an Adventurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10743749865690245782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744598955249147984.post-89313463785188695102010-07-12T15:45:00.000-07:002010-07-12T15:45:14.649-07:00Mini Trip to St. Louis<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This past Friday, right after class was over, I got in my car and headed west to St. Louis where my good good friend from high school, Stacy, is in grad school. When I got there, I brought my stuff up to her apartment and then we headed out to dinner at the Drunken Fish.</span><br />

They were both super good. While we were eating, a guy who sounded like Jon McLaughlin started singing and playing his guitar for the restaurant's outdoor guests. For dinner I got spicy octopus sushi and stacy got veggie sushi. We shared "sticky fries" which were so so good.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I forget what kind Stacy got, but I got a peanut butter cup cupcake. We had them at her apartment later for dessert.</span><br />

It was huge and had incredible produce prices. Some of their famous items are the mini donuts and bloody mary's. It was too early for me to get a bloody mary, but we saw a handful of people walking around with them. Next time, that'll be me.</span><br />

We walked around and checked out our lunch options while we were looking at the cute little shops. We ended up eating at Cheese-ology, a restaurant that only served various types of mac 'n' cheeses! My heaven! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZkqFwlNr6iFtiJqpi-ppln0QFhWpIzyHAcm5aK0EChGGMRyO67rahrwHHeV0T6goBxJ5Ze9HF4Mx6anCI3rz8ABfieKzi9U7qAUXMClIXVkqzsPB3IsBId_Xwx4hocW7ouAhc8ss_88Q/s1600/STLmacncheese.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZkqFwlNr6iFtiJqpi-ppln0QFhWpIzyHAcm5aK0EChGGMRyO67rahrwHHeV0T6goBxJ5Ze9HF4Mx6anCI3rz8ABfieKzi9U7qAUXMClIXVkqzsPB3IsBId_Xwx4hocW7ouAhc8ss_88Q/s320/STLmacncheese.jpg" width="218" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After walking around for a while, we went to take the Anheuser-Busch tour. It was pretty cool to see how the beer is made and the free samples at the end were cool too!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6KKbDxuEd0J6XXbG8EKZL_vA3cKbE4_Z-QF0Jedf8KdYgyRDOwP207hEKZAe6CWkH_U12xV4hyORW5AExl8roBRYoVna2PLWYivpG48joYpPYgK2AvPxQailAkWsJKoD_OBc7R8NrmcU/s1600/STLbudweiser.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="387" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6KKbDxuEd0J6XXbG8EKZL_vA3cKbE4_Z-QF0Jedf8KdYgyRDOwP207hEKZAe6CWkH_U12xV4hyORW5AExl8roBRYoVna2PLWYivpG48joYpPYgK2AvPxQailAkWsJKoD_OBc7R8NrmcU/s400/STLbudweiser.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After the tour and our free samples, we went to the Venice Cafe. It sounds fancy and Italian, but it's actually a really cool eclectic (to say the least) restaurant. Their menu is pretty small, but I got a falafel and it was really good.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After dinner there, we met up with some of Stacy's friends from undergrad. They were in town to explore too. We were going to go to the top of the arch, but the wait was too long so we went the next morning. I heard the elevator was a little scary, and it was, but not as bad as I was expecting. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJZu1MIMQME8c3RhM2X0NhgWPUJ7IzMd8ljH_gT6s1XoFv5fRewVzkGptZJ0iSrSxjqSJV4_kZR0q9MtvsVrBCX9X5PMuDqt-3FUrIZvyq6VyT6znkI92q86P30IZBXCLknJMFtc_kdvI/s1600/STLarch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJZu1MIMQME8c3RhM2X0NhgWPUJ7IzMd8ljH_gT6s1XoFv5fRewVzkGptZJ0iSrSxjqSJV4_kZR0q9MtvsVrBCX9X5PMuDqt-3FUrIZvyq6VyT6znkI92q86P30IZBXCLknJMFtc_kdvI/s400/STLarch.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Overall it was such a fun weekend! I'm so glad I got to visit Stacy and we were able to explore a pretty cool city (even though Stacy may not think the same..haha).</span></div><br />
