Life's a garden. I dig it.

What I'm favoring these days... Have this little diddies planned out for one ensemble. I'm feeling the sophisticated-hippie appeal. Favorite detail: By the way, I will be 28 years old this year and I own this bow. I rock this bow. I love this bow.

Look, Ma! No Pinterest!!

Another trial and success around these parts and my very own idears: romaine lettuce, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, oven baked, bbq-buffalo marinated chicken breasts, diced choppy once cooked. Fresh shredded Parmesan cheese, one and a half teaspoons over the top. I also added a little extra protein by the way of two slices of bbq Boar's Head chicken rolled up and cut into bite sized morsels. Honest tea is delicious and from what I can understand on the label, it's not half awful for me when I just don't want my usual water bev. Grapes are really glorious right now. Perfect condition. Strawbur-ries are also impressing me boatloads. Yum-my. Quenched, Meggie

Garbanzo Veggie Pitas

Soooo, I tried out a yummy recipe today. I prepped it all to take to work for myself and a couple girlfriends. We take turns bringing lunch for the 3 of us and it's great. We get to try new foods and it's fun to both plan lunch and show up for lunch brought from someone else. Without further adieu... Ingredients: Put a pan on medium-high heat with two cap fulls of olive oil-your preference on virgin, extra v, whatev, this is really a choice you can make that won't have terrible effects if you pick over the other; add in almond slivers-about an eighth of a cup, add in about a half of teaspoon of minced garlic, a sprinkle of bread crumbs-Italian style of course, and 1 can (16oz) garbanzo beans. Warm even and thoroughly. Also, some smaller stems of broccoli are a last minute added item I put in. I put broc and a splash of sea salt in a bowl in the micro and let them heat up in about 3:50. Add broccoli right into garbanzo beans once cooked: Cut...

Get ya shine on!

I have been really motivated lately pursuing a few projects. I feel good about my passion and when that happens I feel good all around. Absolutely no one can chase your dreams. People will assist along the way and things will happen as they will sometimes, but really it is up to an individual to get it going. I'm excited to finish various projects this weekend and am anxious to see fruition from completing these tasks. I am so optimistic that my writing is growing. Finding myself thankful for embracing so much right now. Otherwise, 'round these parts: -Flowers from my bub -Baked mac & cheese with spinach -Baked gnocchi cups -Step 1 -Step 2 -Step 3 -Sliced apple, blueberries and fresh mozzarella -Crescent rolls full of love And my favoritest most favorite jam right at this time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oajuSNChUOo Until we meet again, Meggie

MTV Movie Awards Day!

Pepper just bopped her head on the coffee table abruptly because Hunter turned the vacuum on upstairs. Roni is laying with her paw wedged into the couch cushion and her ears are flinching up and down as the vacuum alternates sound. I am sitting and waiting for towels to be ready to go into the dryer and the MTV movie awards to come on later. I have finished my homework, had a turkey sandwich, a tall glass of grapefruit juice, and now I am ready for a nap. It feels great to decompress and fancy the idea of a nap. I probably won't even sleep but to me a nap is rest; I rest. I like to day dream, watch Style Network and random movies like The Devil Wears Prada...again. And this weekend??? I even have my newest People Style Watch mag in and you can bet your silver dollar I will be submerged in it soon. I may even indulge in some fabulous baking to celebrate the day I get to utterly and totally kick back and just be here to enjoy. Times like this do not happen all the time....

Bow Chicka

Busy bee over here. Man, I am keeping it moving! -45++ hr work weeks -25hrs of school -2 dogs who like love & attention...a lot -Bubsy/Sanity time squeezed in = Exhausted Meg Mouse (Hang out with us yo') In between the usual day to day life events, welcoming spring is at the top of the exciting news list. Love spring fashion, fresh makeup finds and every pair of Nine West shoes I've tried on so far. My heart sings this time of year and it's a sweet chirping song. Not into March Madness. I know it's about basketball. Maybe college level. And that's all I got... Look, more of something I'm excited about in March: Even Ro is ready, set going into spring with a fresh 'do. Sweet girl looks a little goofy yet still so cute. She'll be alright, she's still a foxy Roni boo. -Met some Ro-like gals. Lovely babies to come upon on an evening walk. Hey y'all! Andddd a really, really proud moment: The Pu...

Forget a man, walk like a bird

There is so much to learn in new media journalism. It is such an ever evolving world. What's really funny is that I am learning new tricks to to apply to old tricks in so many ways. I am pleasantly surprised with the knowledge I have already earned. I feel fresh validation for my time spent interning and freelancing as a writer. I am so thankful for this. The best thing about this though is that my want for knowledge is increasing too. The course material is building already and I have a list generating on things to really remember pulled from various class resources. The fountain is trickling. Big question: Can you really learn it all? Answer: Not sure. I spent a chunk of time walking today and taking in nature's glory. On my journey met two friends and as I watched one of them agilely maneuver over the construction fence. Even with cars speeding past mere inches from him, he safely walked crane-bird like towards the water unaffected. I exhaled with him long enoug...
