Random Ramblings About My Life Lately

Whew! I've been in a whirlwind this week! Tonight my brother-in-law and his girlfriend (also one of my best friends) are getting here, followed by one of my husband's best friends from college and his girlfriend on Friday. Our little house is going to be overflowing! I've been running around like crazy getting everything ready for them to come and now that there's exactly four hours until I go pick the first pair up from the airport I can hardly contain myself. I'm so excited!

This weekend my best friend in Florida and I went to The Rocky Horror Picture Show Experience. All I have to say it is was definitely an experience! It was probably the strangest thing I have ever seen, but it was fun nonetheless. We got all dressed up in our crazy, weird, gothic-y attire and got A LOT of stares when we stopped to the mall before heading to the music hall.

All of the black and dark makeup let my inner bad ass loose and we ended up getting getting our rooks pierced together! Normally I run at top speed in the opposite direction of anything remotely painful, but apparently I was feeling brave.

Autumn and me with our new piercings!

being a champ - I didn't even cry!

That's been just about the most exiting part of my week. I made some pretty awesome quinoa patties last night. For any other vegheads, and even if you're not I recommend trying them! I'd never heard of quinoa until a couple of months ago, but now I'm fairly obsessed. It's a great option for vegetarians, or 'flexitarians' such as myself because it's full of fiber to make you feel full, it's a great source of protein, including essential amino acids, it's gluten free and is a complex carb! These patties are delish and it makes a ton so you can freeze a bunch and have a quick meal on hand. On that note I think I hear leftovers calling my name...
