Life in Pink (and sometimes Green) |
Newlywed and moving back to New England to become a teacher and settle down with Hubs and our incorrigible 3 year old beagle mix. I run marathons, I read, I write, I'm nerdy and adore JCrew, Vineyard Vines, anything pink and most bad reality television. This blog? Random bits of my life and other things I happen to find fabulous and/or amusing.

Full review to come upon completion.
[Author’s note: depsite my previous…anti-Twilight tendencies, curiousity got the best of me. And with all the press for New…
…i hate when you lend books/movies to friends and they just kind of forget that you have them. Then you lose touch/move away/etc… and never get them back.
You know how many books/movies I’ve lost that way?? A lot.
Hmmmmph.
So I made this recipe tonight for dinner - beef and chipotle burritos.
The recipe called for 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. I thought it called for 1 can. No, no. So we’re eating, and my mouth is on fire so I checked the recipe “1-2 peppers…” Hubs checks the can. 1 serving is 2 peppers. I put in…the entire can. Or…26 chipotle peppers.
Mouth. Fire. ACK! (I need to not cook before 10a from here on out)

Mine is Michelle Branch.
I believe the first musicians that made me love music was The Backstreet Boys.
How ridiculous is that? Hahaha
The Beatles. Along with The Format. Matt and Kim, as well as fun. made me fall in love all over again.
Eric Clapton and Green Day.
Van Morrison and Bob Dylan. It wasn’t until about 5th grade that Zeppelin made me fall in love all over again :)
When I was three years old, Transvision Vamp’s Pop Art catered to my girly whims and on the other side of the spectrum, my Mum and Dad’s impressive Led Zeppelin stash meant that I couldn’t live a day without their music.
I’d have to say Selena. (RIP)
Tori Amos, for fucking sure. The song, “Winter”, made me want to learn the piano and sing and cry.
Guns n’ Roses
Ben Folds Five.
I fell in love with like everything at Land’s End today…like this plaid umbrella, and blue and white polka dotted rain coat, argyle tote bags and argyle sweaters….I’ll take them all Santa. Plzkthx.
My bank account thanks me for simply running out of time and only leaving the store with this jacket.
Chuck: I thought you said you were going home?
Blair: Changed my mind.
Chuck: Well if i’d known, I would have come sooner. Did you ever find Brandeis?
Blair: Yes. We’re not friends anymore.
But that’s okay, I have you. That’s all I need.i love how he supports & protects her. <3
Omg. I loved that scene. I love them. :)
John Mayer - Something’s Missing
“When autumn comes, it doesnt ask.
It just walks in, where it left you last.
And you never know, when it starts
Until there’s fog inside the glass around your summer heart:
Something’s missing
And I don’t know how to fix it
something’s missing
And I don’t know what it is
At all
I can’t be sure that this state of mind, is not of my own design
I wish there was an over the counter test, for loneliness.
For loneliness like this.”
This wino totally needs this!
OMG. Pretty shoes. WANT.

Had I known you can make a peony on top of the cupcake there would be no choice to make.

Anyone in the Stamford area want to join a book club that a friend of mine is creating? The first book is going to be the Post Secret book, and we’ll likely try to meet up the week of Nov 16th. There will be snacks and wine. Lots of wine (a requirement of any book club of mine ;) )
I know half the fun of ikea furniture is supposed to be putting it together but really? I mean…they can at least align the holes so that the screws to secure the seat of my dining room chairs actually go in.
Ikea FAIL.

I have a picture of Pettite from the 1996 world series. Same shot, but straight on. My 13 year old heart was all kinds of twitterpated for him. It still is 13 years later.
