Hot-lanta

I think this town has 2 seasons - wear a coat and wear as little clothing as possible because it's hot! I'm missing having my windows open and enjoying the spring air :-(

My commute to work is super easy - if the Braves aren't playing :-) They delay me at least 20-30 minutes. I think the commute was what I was worried about (hello - I had a THREE BLOCK commute for the last year!)

My bosses were in today (yep - I went from zero to all three in one day). The Big Boss showed me some stuff on the comp and left me with a challenge. When we were talking he said, "Some people say that I am rude, and I admit that I could be nicer at times, but I'm here to do my job". I never thought I'd say I think I'm gonna like this dude from NJ.

This maybe hit me because I was re-reading an e-mail from a friend last night she was talking about how her mom said that NY has made her kinda hard/harsh. I think that about me too. Like when people are overly friendly (ok, they're probably just being friendly) - I don't know what to do with that. It takes me back and makes me quiet. I'm "worried" about relationships at the work place. The place is pretty hierarchical (don't ask me how many organizational charts I'm trying to memorize!) I'm hoping that being in the executive wing doesn't mean that I can just talk to managers...so far it doesn't seem like it will be like that, but we'll see.

Still waiting for baby Abigail to come out and join us - maybe she knows the pollen is bad and is staying where it's safe? (Or she's waiting til I get there so I can meet here when she is zero days old! :-D)

wow-- you are in atlanta! i can't keep up with you. hope you settle in well and feel at home in no time.

we were at postmark the other day and we ordered our first smoothie of the season. i told the guy (who is perfectly nice and competent, of course) that samuel didn't want whipped cream on his "oh, we don't put whipped cream on the smoothies, so no worries," he responded.

no more whipped cream? where have i been? last time we ordered one, you were still there, i guess.

i also was half expecting him to automatically hand me a pair of scissors so that i could cut off some of the tall straw in that kiddie size cup, but he didn't and i didn't ask.

all those little unspoken exchanges that made your presence so special there. we miss you!

come visit, ok? we finally have our guest beds set up now!! :)

I love deals!

By
When I was growing up one of the things that we loved to do at the grocery was go to the bent can "aisle". This aisle could be a shopping cart or shelf space - never a whole aisle and always in the back - with reduced sale items. When I moved to NYC I learned in my Food Safety Class that you shouldn't eat bent cans because they promote salmonella (I think). This made me think 2 things: why did my mother try to kill us as children and why are they bent cans for sale for the full price at my neighborhood grocery? The first question was dismissed as we all survived, but the 2nd is still a real question (sometimes the only option for something is bent cans!). Well, this summer I found the reduced aisle at one store - it resulted in me buying a box of cereal that included a rebate for more than the cereal cost me ;-). And last night I hit it again. This time stocking up on goodies like diced tomatoes, black beans, pears and a can of pigeon peas. I've been noticing...

Review: Simple Truth Organic Thin & Crispy Vegan Crust & Pizza Sauce

By
We were sent samples of Simple Truth Organic Thin & Crispy Vegan Pizza Crust & Pizza Sauce.  We rounded out our samples with Kroger Pizza Blend Cheese, Kroger Pepperoni and Kroger Bella Mushrooms.  What can I say - we're a Kroger loving family! My little helper loved spreading the sauce and then all the ingredients.  I'm not sure all the cheese made it on the pizzas! Overall, this was good, but I'm not sure we'll purchase the crust again.  The "vegan" part didn't affect the taste as far as I could tell.  I LOVED that the crust was crispy (like a cracker almost), but where the toppings were it was a wee bit softer.  The texture was a+.  I felt like the crust had zero taste.  I did, however, enjoy the taste of the sauce.  I don't like my pizza sauce overly spicy or sweet and this one fit the bill - this we will purchase again. Can’t top the great taste of this #SimpleTruthOrganic Vegan pizza crust! #MyMagaz...

Robin's Egg Blue

By
What color is more vibrant, calming, and fun all mixed into one? For me, it is a bright robin's egg blue. It can be a statement color, and accent color, or whatever you want it to be. I have to give my boy the credit for finding this chest sometime last year. I apologize I didnt really get a "before" picture. The chest was painted brown. Why you would ever really paint wood brown, is beyond me. Especially this chest. It is a cedar chest, smells wonderful and has beautiful, rich natural wood. I sanded this one down, because I wanted to salvage the beauty. However, even then, the brown paint remained in the carvings on the front and in the grooves of the legs. I would have saved that beautiful wood too, but you already know I did not. Why did I not, you may ask? (Especially when I keep going on and on and on about the wood...) Because of this. The top. Sigh . The pictures dont really do it justice, but there are grooves going opposite the grain, making it look scratched. ...
