I'm funny sometimes.
Like that time I told you all I was basically leaving my blog to rot for the next few months. And then I update the next day.
Silly me.
Ryan worked tonight, so I had the evening after I got home from work to do whatever. I am only a little bit ashamed to tell you I spent hours reading blogs. It seems that I should have a lot of better things to do with my time. Actually, it shouldn't just seem that way...because it is that way. I've got so much stuff to do. But after spending 10 hours with a 2-year-old boy and taking my nutso-of-a-dog for his evening walk...I was ready to just veg.
Sit on the couch and let my brain turn to mush.
Absolute perfection.
Amongst all my blog-hopping, I stumbled up The Bargain Blonde and really like her Friday link-up, "Friday Favorites." So I'm joining in!
My favorites from this week...
1. Favorite "Melt my heart/I'm gonna miss this kid so much when I'm gone" moment
Oliver (the boy I nanny) is just grasping the concept of "I love you" and talking about loving people. He'll randomly say "love Mama" and it's adorable. His mom and dad told me today that the other day he said, "Olwa love Nancy." He doesn't really say Ol-iv-er...more like Ol-wa.
2. Favorite Meal
Whoa. Hello. I made a delicious meal tonight. Inspired by a pin I put on pinterest (a recipe that I've actually made a few times, and it was alright) but I added some stuff to it tonight that made all the difference...so good. Funny what a little garlic and cheese can add.
Toasted flat bread with crushed garlic spread on top.
Mash half an avocado and spread on top.
Squeeze some lemon juice on it.
Then add a few thin slices of Parmesan cheese.
Top with a fried egg (yoke HAS to be runny. It is absolutely, positively required.)
Enjoy. And oh, you're welcome.
3. Favorite TV show
Can I pick two? Okay, good.
I'm totally loving Parks and Recs this year. I mean, I've always loved it, but something about this season is particularly hilarious. I can't get enough. I love those shows that make you really laugh out loud.
I couldn't pick a favorite clip.
My other favorite is Breaking Bad. Ryan and I hi-jacked his parents' netflix...and have been going through Breaking Bad on it. FAN-FLIPPIN-TASTIC. Love that show.
Oh wait, I have three. Project Runway All-stars. Which leads me to my next favorite...
4. Favorite Project Runway Designers
I'm loving Project Runway All-stars right now. I wish Michael Kors could always be replaced with Isaac Mizrahi. And I'm sick of Heidi Klum too, so it's nice having a different host...but darn it, I really miss that Tim Gunn.
Anyways, I'm loving it mostly because of ANTHONY RYAN AULD. He was my favorite on his season, and got the boot much too early. So I was super pumped when I saw he was going to on All-Stars. Like SUPER PUMPED. I think I screamed when I saw the commercial preview. And danced around the room. And then texted my mom, "ANTHONY RYAN AULD" She wasn't as excited about it as me.
And the guy is killin' it so far. Team Anthony Ryan!
And of course, when mentioning favorite designers, I can't leave out
Mondo. I love Mondo. He can do no wrong in my eyes, even if he does wear
a large plastic mustache to Fashion Week. (This isn't really from this week, but like I said, I can't mention Project Runway and leave out Mondo!)
What are some are your faves from this week?

Hi Nancy!
ReplyDeleteThat avocado egg breakfast looks amazing!!!
I saw all the comments you left on my blog, I'd love to be able to email you back about them, but you're set up as a "no-reply blogger" :(
Here's a link on how to fix it if you'd like! Otherwise there's no way to easily respond to your comments :(

Also, do you have it set up so that people can follow via GFC anywhere? I'd like to follow but I can't find it!
Thanks so much Elizabeth! I didn't even realize that I was set up as a no-reply blogger...or that I had no way for people to follow my blog! Hahaha!
