Amazed

Instead of droning on and on about why I haven’t blogged in the last 2 weeks, I’m just going to tell you right here and right now: By the time I accomplish 1 thing on my to-do list, 3 things have replaced it.

I went on vacation with Andy this past weekend to surprise visit one of my best friends since junior high school, Danielle. She lives in a hippie college town called Ashland in Oregon. It was amazing. The weather was perfect, you can walk EVERYWHERE and the scenery was worth a thousand pictures. Our first day was spent touring the vineyards in the countryside during the day and cruising the local brewery/bars in the evening. Our second day was spent walking the town’s local shops and making dinner. Dinner consisted of homemade everything. Homemade ravioli, homemade pesto cream sauce, homemade spicy sausage meatballs and sauteed veggies from her garden including mushrooms, spinach, onions and tomatoes. We complemented the meal with a bottle of wine that we purchased at our favorite vineyard from the day before. We then busted out a bottle of tequila and their Wii to play some games late into the night. The following morning we packed up, drove to Portland (about 4.5 hours from Ashland) to have sushi from a conveyer belt! Click here to check out what Sushi Land is all about. We then jumped on a plane and headed back home!

The vacation was incredible, to say the least. I have never slept better on an air mattress, never felt more relaxed nor cared what was going on in the world. All of this without one puff of marijuana (haha). It was just me, a dear friend and our boyfriends enjoying each others company.

Now I’m back to spending HOURS avoiding homework with my DVR’d shows (which I have to mention, if you haven’t caught the new show Playboy Club, do it. It’s fantastic. Same with the show Revenge).

I’ve missed all of you and promise to post pictures in the next few days. For now, here’s a taste:

And if you haven’t seen the new commercial for Google Chrome featuring Lady Gaga…you MUST watch this. It inspires me. It makes me smile to watch the dedication of her fans and the social influence she’s created on all of us. Though I think she’s bat shit crazy…there’s a lot to learn from her ways. There’s a method to the madness. Watch below to see what I mean:
