Yesterday was National Pancake Day! Did you celebrate? Please say yes. We took ourselves to Snooze for pancake flights, latte art and sugar comas. I was maybe too excited and dreamt about it the night before. Totally normal.
Yesterday was also Mardi Gras! Which means I wore beads to work, listened to a Mardi Gras music station all day just to hear the one song I know, “Carnival Time” and made Red Beans (our best batch yet!) for dinner. Oh and Joey and I officially decided we’re going to the real Mardi Gras next year. Ya hear that, Uncle? 🙂
I had all the documents and pictures on my college laptop recovered and I was expecting Throwback Thursday material for days, but it turns out it’s just pictures of food. Like all of it. And the more I thought about it, I didn’t even know how I took pictures prior to when I started blogging in 2010 or what I did with those pictures after I took them.
Coming to terms with the fact that the Oscars are this Sunday and I’m probably not going to see all the Best Picture nominees by then. Think we’ll sneak in American Sniper this weekend but Selma and The Theory of Everything are probably not happening.
Sometimes you show up to the gym and discover it’s closed for President’s Day. Noooooo!
If you’re wondering about the history of SNL, — Chevy Chase drama, Norm Mcdonald drama, Lorne Michaels drama — I’m your girl. #SuckedIntoTheBlackHoleOfWikipedia But please ask in the next 24 hours, because I regularly empty my brain, so as to refill it with other useless knowledge.
They are starting trivia at the pizza place down the street from our house. This is both the best and most dangerous thing to ever happen.
I recently read an article titled “10 Things You Should Know Before Getting Into a Relationship with Someone Who Loves Food.” And actually, I couldn’t relate to any of it except this line: “I hope you don’t feel uncomfortable being the third wheel when you go out to eat. You’ll grow to accept this role in your partner’s life, I promise.” Joey is totally the third wheel.
