Maybe I'll do Halloween this Year

I've never been a big fan of Halloween, even when I was younger. I think partly because the houses were too far apart in my neighborhood to go trick-or-treating and I was always cold and usually wanted to go home the second I went outside.

Mr. Bee and I haven't gone out for Halloween since 2004 or something like that. He wor a suit with a George Bush pin and talked in an uptight voice all night....he was a Republican. We lived in SF at the time so it was pretty funny, plus if you knew what Mr. Bee looked like, it's pretty much the opposite of the stereotypical Republican.

I dressed in a white, shirt and pants. Attached a large, oval, yellow piece of felt to my shirt, threw on devil horns, a tail, and of course red pumps. Don't know what I was?....a Deviled Egg of course :)

I think if I had to dress up this year I think I would just buy a ready made Wonder Woman costume....maybe Mr. Bee could be the FroZone from The Incredibles, now that would be funny.

I've never been this excited about a bank

I just read on Wachovia's / Wells Fargo's site that all Wachovia branches will be turning into Wells Fargo stores over the next few months and I can't tell you how excited I am! When Mr. Bee and I lived in California we had Wells Fargo and when we moved back to East Coast we had to let them go since there were no branches :(

We never felt like Wells Fargo was screwing us so I'm excited to take them back.

I know, what a lame blog post, but I love 'em!

Too busy? Throw a Dinner Party

Oh man have we been busy! Weddings are over, but there's still an endless amount of things to do. To celebrate not having a wedding to go to what did we do? Had a dinner party of course!

We didn't make anything terribly creative, but it was delicious (except for the "red wine gravy" Mr. Bee attempted. There was no saving that concoction.)

Our menu consisted of red wine marinaded roast, homemade perogies, spinach, and butternut squash soup.

If you have a blender, butternut squash soup is the easiest thing in the world to make. Just simmer chopped squash in chicken broth, remove, puree, and add it back to the broth. I will definitely be adding this recipe to weekday dinners.

Don't spend money on store bought soup, make it yourself!

Have you ever tried intenSati?

I took a Cardio Blast Xpress class at the gym the other night. I was expecting the usually aerobics, but instead got an introduction to intenSati.

"Inten" derives from "intention", and "sati" is a Pali word which means "mindfulness" and the workout combines high-energy aerobics, martial arts, yoga, and more. But wait that's not it...there's also spoken affirmations. The class was a little apprehensive at first when the teacher explained this and even more apprehensive when we were yelling "I want it I want it, I really, really want it" while doing a chest pumping movement.

But.....

By the end of the class I totally loved it and was saying the positive affirmations all weekend which is way better than having Tardy for the Party stuck in your head.

It was a great workout, can't wait for one this week!

Lolcats to the Rescue

Whenever I need a pick me up I can always count on Lolcats. This site never gets old. These pics also make me laugh and make me want to go home and hangout with MonkeyCat. This pic makes me feel sleepy. Mr. Bee always makes fun of me but I could look at this site all day...and giggle!

You Can't Go Wrong with a T-Shirt

So Mr. Bee doesn't buy this own clothes. I think I have bought every article of clothing for him since we have been together, minus a pair of Army cargo shorts he bought at a Surplus Store, and that was only out of desperation during an NYC heat wave.

One of my favorite places to by tees for him is Threadless.com. Super fun, unique designs that don't cost $40 plus they are soft and comfortable. Take that UrbanOutfitters, American Apparel and any other store that sells ridiculously overpriced tees!

If price isn't a good enough reason to love them, Threadless tees also make me feel good because all the designs are made by various artists and you can buy prints to dress your walls. This one makes me particularly feel good. Who doesn't love a hug?

Sweet Moves that will Never Die

We've been listening to Backspin on SiriusXM the last few days in the office and it's taking all of my strength to remain professional.

I must stay at my desk otherwise I risk spontaneously busting out the butterfly. Yeah, you remember it, don't act like you don't know.

Don't forget about The Dip and The Tootsie Roll. Thank goodness I have a few more weddings this season where I can show off these sweet, newly remembered moves.
