Hi my name is Amy and I need to chill.

Miss Alyson tagged me, so I must oblige to her wishes:

Eight Random Facts About Meself:
01) My only brother (six years my senior) and I look NOTHING, NOTHING alike. NOTHING. Even though we're both from the same mother and father (or are we.............?!?)

02) My nose gets all sniffly whenever I eat. It used to be only spicy foods, but nowadays even with water I get snuffly. wth.

03) I am obsessed, OBSESSED, with Google Maps. I trace the entire country over and over, imagining road trips, cities I would live in, checking the traffic in LA... I've been known to spend hours on that darn website.

04) I cannot write with a pen that does not have its cap on the top. The cap MUST be on top in order for me to write. Weirdest thing ever.

05) I cannot have either my keys, cellphone, jewelry, wallet, handbags lying on the bed. Something about having those items on top of my bed annoys the inner foundation of my brain. They MUST be in their respective places.

06) The GMAIL tab must ALWAYS be the first tab on the left on my firefox browser. Active and open at ALL times. Next to it, Pandora then Bloglines then the rest.

07) At my restaurant, I must organize all tea packets (five of them) and sugar packets (four of them) by color and they must always be in the same spot. Regular sugar - brown sugar - Equal - Sweet -n- low. For tea: Chamomile - Green tea - Decaf Tea - Ceylon - Oriental Tea - Balck Tea. When these items are out of order, it drives me insane. INSANE.

08) I DESPISE, HATE, LOATHE small hairy dogs. Like the Yorkie, Maltese. Something about them GROSSES THE LIVING HECK OUT OF ME. HATE THEM WITH A PASSION. Now, big dogs like the labs are cool with me. And huskies. Huskies are welcome in my house ANY day. ANY day. Just don't bring any Yorkie bitches.

Holy crap, I'm a WEIRD person. I taaaag Sarah Sovereign, Marjorie and Cadyn Mosch. I do not feel like typing out your links. I'm lazy :P

Food orgy

So y'all know I love food. Food and cupcakes. MMM and alcohol, of course. So in the spirit of... Friday, I shall post pictures of yummy foods I've either cooked or someone else has.

This is my new favorite breakfast. I don't really eat eggs or pancakes, so I've made this delicious yogurt + fruits + walnuts + banana chips + healthy cereal orgy. It's YUMMYLICIOUS.

I love avocados. It saddens me that American won't even really know what TRUE avocados look like. Puerto Rican avocados... oh man. Those things are HUGE. Not those silly dark things you see at the grocery store. Oh no. Ours are huge and green on the outside and absolutely delicious. In the meantime I eat from the American selection 'cause they're still yummy to my tummy.

More avocados, mmmm.



lasagna.jpg

I don't remember what I put on this lasagna. But it was DELISH.

I love heirloom tomatos. So juicy, so weird looking.

I also love corn. A LOT. A LOT.

From Back in the Day Bakery in Savannah, Georgia. Ridiculously remarkable.


Dang, I'm hungry now. :P

My little corner of the world

So this is a corner in my room I have no idea what to do with. I'd like to put a tall mirror so I can actually stop myself before leaving the house wearing that. Also some artwork, or random things. But I just don't know what. And I don't have time to look thru Design Sponge or Decor8 for inspiration.

That's a lie. I DO have the time. Today has been the most chill day ever. I am drinking Smirnoff right now and in like two hours am meeting up with some new friends. ahhh days off, how I love thee.

Anyways, anyone got some ideas on what to do with this corner, or both walls? THANKS! AWESOME!

Also, this is me looking marvelously fantastic:

Beginning 2008

Images from a lovely wedding I photographed late November


Psst. Hello there. Miss me much? I've been around. My mother and cousin have been visiting us since December 31st and will be leaving today. That explains my harrowing absence from the net.

I feel like 2008 has not yet started for me and come tomorrow a whole lot of planning and thinking will commence.

And I am scared.

Will I stay in Vegas past June? If not, where will I move? How will I fund this move? Will I finish the textile portfolio in time before The Company begins its hiring process in February? Should I even apply for a 9 to 5 job, even though it would be a fantastic opportunity? Should I even bother to open a small etsy shop these next few months before AND IF I get hired? Should I just follow my dream and forego any scenario that will further delay my Star Magnolia?

I tell ya. These are tough times! Thankfully I had lots of fun (and excessive Puerto Rican food) these past 3 weeks. I will miss my Mom in the kitchen (lol) and my cousin's randomness. :(

From tomorrow on, I will submerge myself in textile books and my serving job. It's going to be EXTREEEEEEEEME.

In the meantime, VOTE RON PAUL 2008!
