Cocktail

For my future (well, VERY VERY soon to be) sister in law's bachelorette party, I baked these lovely, festive cookies. Varieties included: dark chocolate, milk chocolate, American, blue balls, and the one eyed monster.

Long List

I now have a long list of things I need to post on my blog.

1. I can bake (see next post)
2. Yabba Dabba Doo! (coming soon)
3. It's a GIRL! (coming soon)

Moment of Weakness

In a moment of weakness, I purchased the below. How am I going to explain this to my husband???? (In my defense, they were such a good deal, I couldn't pass it up. They were so cheap, it was almost like stealing!).

The Gear

September 15 (wow - 28 days ago already) I turned over a new leaf and joined a new gym! Or should I say re-joined? I left New York Sports Club in Fall 2007 and joined another gym closer to home. I tried and tried to get into it, but just couldn't! NYSC had turned me into a gym snob requiring towel service, classes and locker rooms already equipped with shampoo, conditioner and hair dryers!
I noticed this week that while all my gym gear is still in pretty good shape, it is OLD! I have made a list of things I need in order to update my gym wardrobe a little bit!

1. Under Armour Heat Gear Updated Frequency Tee (in both long and short sleeve varieties)


2. Under Armour Heat Gear Capri Tight. Yeah this is what my thighs look like in them too: haha

3. Asics GT 2140. I've had about 5 pairs of Asics over the years and nothing compares as far as a light weight, durable and comfortable running shoe! They are the best!

4. This one's kind of a throw in because I think I'd look really cute rocking this with some black yoga pants at Starbucks or something. Marmot vest. Heart!!

Bucket List

Since I have an obvious love for lists, I decided now is as good of a time as any to start drafting my bucket list. I haven't given it too much thought, but here are some definite must's:

1. Visit Italy
2. Join a book club
3. Run a marathon ... or 1/2 marathon
4. Finish Grad school
5. Finish CPCU program (hint, hint: I work in insurance. I know, not what you'd expect from someone who is so obsessed with clothes, shoes, handbags, make up, and outerwear but it funds my material passion.)
6. Become a mother
7. Have a six pack!
8. Cook an actual meal - think: Thanksgiving dinner. Not: my usual shake 'n bake, rice and steamed broccoli

Tis The Season

Only a few short hours after posting my Christmas list, I received an email notification that the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book 2009 is now out! I am expecting mine any day now!! I wonder what this year's most extravagant gift will be ...

Christmas List

With just over 75 (give or take) days until Christmas, now is as good of a time as any to start building my list.

Here's the first iteration. Please leave a comment if you wish to have any of the information on these items!
