:: superbowl, snacks, and swimsuits ::

January 31, 2017

:: superbowl, snacks, and swimsuits ::
Today I am sharing some Superbowl Snacks and some Swimsuits. 
Because those go together, right?! 

At the end of February, my girlfriends and I are heading to Scottsdale for a long planned getaway weekend.  I think we have been counting down to this for about 7 months, so I can’t believe its finally close! We did this the year before last and had such a great time, so I am really excited. Plus I haven’t seen them in so long so it’ll be a DC-Atlanta-Chicago reunion weekend for all of us! 
I keep finding myself loving one piece swimsuits, and I am so happy they have gotten fashionable again.  
but without that horrid high-thigh cut like our swim team suits had when we were little. 

All of the suits below are under $50!! with many under $40 and $30!
Who needs an expensive Equipment Scalloped edge suit when ya got Target? 
//  HIGH NECK SCALLOPED EDGE  //

//  FLORAL SCALLOPED HIGH NECK   //  BLACK SCALLOPED   //  

BLACK PLUNGE WITH SIDE CUT OUTS // STRIPED  //  PALM DESERT PRINT 

The print on the next two swimsuits reminds me so much of the Tory Burch print that I adore.
// TORY BURCH ONE PIECE // 
It’s not exactly the same, but definitely similar, and at a fraction of the price! 
                      CROCHET HIGH NECK                         //                           RACER BACK

The four suits below have the Mara Hoffman’esque vibe. 
I love the one on the far left wit the cut-out and the pink at the top, and the far right with the pink straps and open back! 
ONE      //       TWO       //      THREE       //       FOUR


As I mentioned we’re heading to Las Vegas for the weekend for the Super Bowl!
My brother-in-law has a work event, so my sister is going with him, and Kip will be in Vegas again for work, so I am going along with him! 
We’re using our husbands to our advantage and I’m so excited for the four of us to have a weekend away! 
We are staying at the Cosmopolitan and I’ve only visited for drinks but never stayed there! 

Even though I wont get to enjoy 97 different types of appetizers at a Super Bowl party since we wont be at a friends house, I still wanted to do a round-up of recipes.
An all snacks and finger foods and appetizers kind of food frenzy is my absolute dream world.  
Let me know what kind of yummy munchies you’ll be making for Sunday! 


3 super easy (make ahead!) favorite dessert options of mine: 

I love this funfetti cookie cake – if I can make it look pretty, anyone can! 
and who doesn’t love a cookie cake?

:: FUNFETTI COOKIE CAKE :: 



my favorite go-to dessert: crack cake. 
I often make this the night before (and store it covered with Saran Wrap in the microwave! new trick I picked up!)

:: CRACK CAKE :: 


Make this graham cracker toffee at your own risk.

Once you start, it’s impossible to stop.

:: GRAHAM CRACKER TOFFEE :: 

And call me #Basic, but my other favorite to bring is the Hawaiin Roll Ham Sliders.

You just can’t mess with a classic, and when you top those things with a bunch of melted butter they are just pure crack and you cannot stop.  
For the anti-kitchen folk, Trader Joe’s pigs in a blanket + their cartelized onion feta bites are always a YES.  And pimento cheese in phyllo cups, heated up in the oven.
Easy peasy! 

A round up of recipes from around the internet!

Lifestyle, weekend recap

:: weekend recap ::

January 30, 2017

:: weekend recap ::
I hope you all had a great weekend! 

We went out to dinner with friends at St. Cecilia’s in Buckhead Friday night and loved it. 
Our favorite was the Cacio a Pepe pasta dish and these amazing Sticky Pear Tarts. 
I’m not a pear dessert person but it was insane!  The beet salad was delicious too! 
It’s definitely one the prettiest restaurant I’ve been in yet since moving back to Atlanta. 
and the floors were gorgeous. 


Friday nights outfit : 
I wore a top I recently snagged at Stein Mart for $20. 
 I have been finding the best stuff at Stein Mart + TjMaxx/Homegoods here. 

Saturday’s Outfit : 
The Theory silk blouse was a top I bought as a bridesmaid to go with a long skirt, and it is truly one of my favorite things to wear over and over again.  It was not only the cutest bridesmaids outfit but the only one I actually wear again.  
This notched collar blazer (similar) is getting a ton of use still, 
and will definitely be coming with me to Vegas on Friday! 


seriously how amazing were these bridesmaids looks? 

image


also… side note:
 I missed the Vanderpump crew in Vegas by one week! 
They were all there this weekend! Argh! 

The Cupcakes + Cashmere Draped Trench that I had ordered from Nordstrom arrived and it was not a success.
It’s obviously very wrinkled in this photo, but I didnt bother steaming it because I knew right away it was a no.  The material is super thin, and this was an XS but it just kind of hung and as shapeless.  I’m sure Belted it would be cuter but the l didnt feel like I was tall enough to pull off the length and shape and just didn’t love it.  Definitely didn’t look as cute as it had on the model. Oh well. 
Kip said I looked “like a woman living in a cardboard box.”  
I thought I looked more like I was wearing a lab coat.  Either way, not good comparisons. 
The under $25 sunnies were a much cheaper and successful purchase so it was technically a win win! I wish I had ordered the other tortoise color too so hopefully they restock, but this brown tortoise is still available.
// TORTOISE SUNGLASSES // 


On Sunday Kip and I went to a Flywheel class together, keeping up with the daily workouts.

This is hilarious to me because we were a bit hungover, and even if we hadn’t been, it was never an activity we would have done on a Sunday in Chicago.
I said “you know what we would be doing right now?” and at the exact same time we said “eating.”

We went over to my moms for family dinner and time with the kiddos. 
My sister made the prettiest salad and some delicious cornbread muffins with chili. 

There is a trundle bed I had been wanting to snag sitting in one of the upstairs bedrooms and we finally disassembled it and took it to our place! 
at this rate there will be nothing left at my mom’s house at all….. seriously. 
Our “office” seems like such a waste of space to me.  It gets used because I use the treadmill and then I do some blogging from the desk so that the room is used more, but I felt like the trundle bed would make it so much more useful.
Plus we already have two occasions in April where we have 4 people staying at once so just having the guest bed wouldn’t be enough.
We are deciding where to place the desk and treadmill still in the space, but I’m liking the room so much better already!! 

We are back to being really healthy this week before our trip next weekend.
My Protein Pancakes have been a daily meal, and when Kip is out of town I make them for dinner a lot. 

 I really am obsessed with the Rocco Dispirito Protein Pancake Recipe that uses unsweetened organic applesauce.
Plus its such an easy thing to mindlessly throw together and they really fill you up! 

Happy Monday! 
I hope you all had a great weekend!!!

friday randoms, Lifestyle

:: RECIPES + RANDOMS ::

January 27, 2017

:: RECIPES + RANDOMS ::
Cheers to Friday!! 

This has been a busy week and I am very ready for the weekend! 

Many of you requested some more recipe posts, especially some healthy meals. 
Today I have two healthy “recipes” that aren’t even really recipes, just a few ingredients thrown together, that have been on repeat for fast weeknight meals lately.   
It couldn’t be easier. 

I have been making Zoodes with my Spiralizer that I got for Christmas, but if you don’t have Zoodles and don’t want to buy them at the store, I have been making the same recipe with Spaghetti Squash as well! 
I have made this the night of, or also have grilled the chicken and prepped the zoodles in advance, so that all you have to do is heat everything up and put it together! 
I am a pasta lover so these satisfy that craving perfectly! 


I simply combine the following:
Zuchinni Noodles or Spaghetti Squash
Pesto (store bought or homemade)
Grilled Chicken
Sun-dried Tomatoes 

For the Spaghetti Squash:
Cook at 400 for about an hour. Shred with a fork and remove all of the noodles.  Mix noodles with the remaining ingredients, put back into the shell, and top with some part-skim mozzarella.  Throw under the broiler for a few minutes and it’s all set! 

For the Zucchini Noodles:
 you only need to sauté them in a little bit of olive oil for a few minutes (3-5), and then add the remaining ingredients! 
I squeeze water out of my zucchini noodles before cooking, and drain in a colander after cooking because for the life of me I can’t figure out why mine seem to release more water – if anyone has any tips for this please let me know! 

That is it! So, as I said, it’s not really a recipe. 
But it is extremely satisfying and seems like a treat that took a lot of time when it doesn’t at all! 





:: 5 FRIDAY FAVORITES :: 


Inspired by Nick’s Mom, and all of the ladies of The Bachelor, 


I have some leather jacket finds for you! 


Actually… come to think of it….


My mind was blown with just the mom + the contestants and the amount of leather.


But now I am realizing 


NICK wears leather jackets constantly too? I feel like I’ve seen one every single week: T-shirt and Leather Jacket?? 


He even jazzes his up with unexpected colors like RUST. 


but okay seriously…. look at how many leather jackets he is in?


what is going on? 








 I’m thinking that the wardrobe person for The Bachelor is forcing everyone into them because she watched Unreal and Shiri Appleby does nothing but wear her black leather jacket day and night. 


amiright? 


okay… now that you never want to see leather again because I’ve said it 50 times :


 let me share my picks for the week! 





Speaking of unexpected colors inspired by Nick, my favorite is the Navy because like Nick, I like a non-black leather jacket… there’s also some blush for a different color and some suede in there too just to change it up a bit.   Ca-razy. 





1. NAVY LEATHER JACKET 


2. DRAPED FRONT SUEDE 


3. BLUSH AND UNDER $100


4. HOODED SWEATSHIRT JACKET 


5. DRAPED FRONT UNDER $60 





aren’t you so glad you stopped by the blog today to discuss the amount of leather on The Bachelor?


Me too.  Me. Too. 


Maybe next week we can do some leather pants….. 





Only a few more days of my 31 days of working out in January remaining….. 





Considering next weekend we are in Las Vegas for the Super Bowl…. I’m thinking I only have one week left before I have a day with a bit fat ZERO for physical activity.


 Unless lifting a drink to my lips counts while I’m there?

coffee talk, Lifestyle

:: COFFEE TALK ::

January 26, 2017

:: COFFEE TALK ::
discuss amongst ya-selves…… 

:: THE BACHELOR ::
The champagne toast at the end of the ceremony is taken over by Corrine addressing the group with one of her pep talks, further making the girls want to lose their minds. 

Chris announces they are leaving the house! And Heading to…….
an island
europe
an exciting destination 
they get to leave the sunny mansion and head to Wakeshna Wisconsin! 
(sorry Wisconsin…..you’re all super nice and the town looked adorable… but I’d rather be on the beach….in all fairness if they had said “Atlanta” I would have been disappointed).
Kip was in town this week and was in the room while the show was on, and when Nick is talking with his parents in Wisconsin he said
” WAIT. THAT is his voice? He sounds like he’s talking through a kazoo.”
He really does have a horrible voice. 

Um. Nick’s mom. Woah.  
I wasn’t expecting a 50+ year old not dressing her age such a trendy lady for someone who has 11 kids. 

She has all the check marks going for looking young and fresh : 
asymmetrical short haircut, leather jacket, deep-v tank underneath.
come to think of it all of those could also be things that Kate, from John + Kate Plus 8, had too…..
and A NOSE RING. Never saw it coming. 
Nick really needs to learn to stop crying.  I’m all for an emotional man (but not really, because I’m emotional enough for 2, so it would never work) so crying is fine, but not crying at EVERYTHING. 

Danielle (the one with the giant rack that is always on display, 
not Danielle the 31 year old neonatal nurse) gets the one on one.

On to the group date in Wisconsin : A Cow Farm!
How Wisconsin-y! 
Bet the girls are taking back their squeals when Chris Harrison announced they were leaving the house now…… 
Corinne obviously has no part in this.
She can’t handle it! Her hands are about to fall off! 
She doesn’t know how to do chores! She has a nanny for that crap, remember!? 

editors note : I love hearing the dairy farmer say melk melk melk like my co-worker always did 🙂 surprisingly though, his accent is not that Wisconsin-strong at all. 

Jaimi (the bi-sexual girl) and all of the “knowing how to handle the teets” commentary just kills me…. I love how they peg everyone on this show, and there was no way they were letting the bi-sexual girl out of this group date without several sound bites to use related to breasts and handling them. 

Josephine is wearing a perfect outfit for today’s activities: white jeans and a crop top. 
I’m not making fun of that outfit because she is shoveling poop in it, because she didn’t know thats what she would be doing, but I really love that when the weather requires a girl wear a puffer coat, she still has a little crop top and bare midriff underneath.  
UM.  My friend Cristin is a genius and made the best comparison on the face of the earth.
Josephine and Sarah Jessica Parker in Hocus Pocus 
Is she not her EXACT TWIN?!? 
Could not be more spot on! 

Comment about Corinne not participating in the shoveling of manure : 
“I don’t know if its the cow shit or the bull shit but I smell shit.”  
GREAT LINE.  

On to the night time portion of the date…..
Apparently everyone got wind that Nick’s mom is into black leather jackets, and that maybe men are attracted to women like their mother, so they ALL are wearing black leather jackets. 
 and for the most part, not even cute ones.  They are all a severely cheap looking motorcycle style. 

I love Corinne’s constant need to address the group of girls with speeches.
Apologizing for her napping through a rose ceremony:
“Michael Jordan took naps. Abraham Lincoln took naps”
right…. those are two names that would come to mind first? 
Oh! And apparently she “almost had to go to the hospital because she lost circulation in her fingers” from shoveling the poop.  
Riiiiiiight. 

don’t leave Corinne…. it’s going to be so boring without you! 

Raven gets the other one on one date and meets the fam on the soccer field!
Then they go roller skating.  
As the song “Kiss Me” plays all I can think of is She’s All That …… and then I realize all of these girls are too young to have had that movie play a pivotal role in their lives. 
They’ve never watched the red dress come down the stairs with the haircut to Freddie Prince Junior.
They probably don’t even know who Freddie Prince Junior is.
ITS A TRAVESTY.
Ur-sher yelling : PART LIKE THE RED SEA….. with that song that “Right about now….. the Funk show brother…..Check it out now……” 
That movie was EVERYTHING. 
Even the Jeopardy scene was Oscar worthy! 

But I digress….. back to Raven eating dinner with Nick discussing her ex boyfriend. 
Raven, perhaps you shouldn’t go into this much detail about your boyfriend cheating on you.  You know what her vagina looks like? You beat him whilst nude with her stiletto? 

Rose Ceremony/Cocktail Party : 
All of them are in these damn black leather jackets again 

The psychoanalysis at the fire between corinne and Taylor is AMAZING.  

Corinne says she “literally can’t even.  literally. can’t even.”
DAMN….she’s using words I often use to explain my dismay in Coffee Talk.... I can’t use them anymore. 

Also, Corinne ran a brush through her hair this week and looks 10x better. (She always looks pretty, but it literally looked like she hadn’t brushed her hair since stepping out of the limo until this week). 

TO. BE. CONTINUED.

And WHATTAYA KNOW next week there is a two on one where someone gets sent home.
Who is picked for the two on one? 
TAYLOR AND CORINNE
And what is the setting? 
An alligator infested swampland jungle.
slow clap abc.  slow. clap. 

A reader clued me in to check out Us Magazine for a few tidbits about the girls: 
Surprise, surprise.
No one is who they claim too be.  It’s whoever the producers want them to be.
Corinne may “run a million dollar family business” (its a flooring company) but her job is “Miami-based-Model” apparently. 
Taylor, the mental health professional, is an amateur underwear model.
SERIOUSLY?????? 
Vanessa, the Canadian special education teacher, has hosted Canadian talk shows and has been on 2 tv shows and is in the entertainment industry.  
Danielle Lombard – the Danielle with the rack, not the Neonatal Nurse – was named Miss Hot Import Nights by an automotive company.  I don’t even know what that necessarily means but I felt the need to include it.
All of this is hilarious. 

:: RHOBH :: 
I love how Dorit acts like she is such a party planner. This is the second time shes made a huge to do about being a party planner, and shes standing with a hired party planner.

What is this braided hair look Dorit is donning for rollerblading?

Erika flashbacks to photos from years ago, and she looks 10 years older in them! 
Now she looks younger than those photos!? 

Our suspicions about Eden Sassoon are confirmed.
EDEN IS COO COO.


She can’t date a guy because “He called me Type A!”
 …. um…. what type do you think you are?
“He chewed Nicorette gum after eating a cheeseburger!”
 …. um, he wasn’t smoking for you??
She is taking over Rinna’s role as the skinny betch commenting on Kim’s sobriety when she knows nothing on the subject matter.
I really don’t like when people behave where I am defending crazy Kim…. it makes me uncomfortable.

Erika Jayne’s performance in Mykonos is showing Mariah Carey how a lift is done!!!
I’m not talking about Mariah’s World this week, but last week (the last two weeks actually) she acts like a basic lift, with 4+ men lifting her, is the most difficult thing in the entire world to pull off.  
 It’s been driving me INSANE.
So watching Erika get hurled up there by her gays and flip around like it was nothing was a TOUCHE ERIKA JAYNE moment. 

Erika is EVERYTHING in Mykonos and I want to be a gay man whipping my hair back and forth in the Grecian breezes to XXpensive!

Back in Beverly Hills, Dorit is throwing that party she planned and executed all by her lonesome.  
Dorit turns to Erika the moment she walks in and says about her dress “this is a step up from the T-shirt dress.”  SERIOUSLY?

Phoenix’s baby nurse comes to present the child (seriously that is how it felt, “The Presenting of the Child….. PHOENIX!” cue Lion King music) in the chicest all white outfit ever.  I’m like um PEGGY girl get back here I want that.  It’s like the JCrew white shirt dress belted with a thin black belt and then white jeans underneath.
PEGGY.  You look amazing! You are some serious #FashionInspo and Dorit should take notes from you. Instead, Dorit is like PEGGY take the CHILD AWAY two seconds later. 

I want to know what is going on inside Eden’s brain.
 “I’m helping Kim down the stairs and she’s giving me NO-THING. Nothing.”
Wow. Eden. I mean…. what is she supposed to be “giving you?”  Her first born? 
 Between the cheeseburger/type-A date gone wrong and this, and your complaints about Kyle not being obsessed with you the moment she met you, I think we all know why you are single.
DAMN you are needy.

I mean, honestly Eden.
Kim can’t even say her brother-in-law’s name.  She calls him Maurice. 
I really wouldn’t put that much thought into it.
And Kim talking about being anxious for her grandson to arrive is not a step towards death and alcoholism!
And seriously, please stop making me defend Kim! It is not fun!


Don’t even me started on Lisa Rinna’s bag of pills, 

which is basically a bag of vitamins with some sleeping pills that she uses TO SLEEP, and Dorit running up to Vanderpump to switch from panty-gate gossip to “pulling out a bag of pills and putting them in smoothies” gate. 
and then she tries to accuse Vanderpump of overreacting and that it was a joke and to lighten up, when clearly she didn’t phrase it that way? 
but really… don’t even get me started. 


Check out this clip of Amy phillips as Dorit {clip}
it’s as wonderful as you would expect! 


:: GIGI MAKE UP COMMERCIAL :: 
Have you seen Gigi in her Maybelline commercial?
It is her face the whole time but a different model’s voice talking.
I never really thought about it until the commercial but her voice would DEFINITELY not work.
Can’t you just hear her saying all of it?
I feel this is really some commentary that only will register with the true TV addicts like myself….so I’ll stop there….. 

:: VANDERPUMP :: 
Oh how I missed Tom shaving his forehead.
Then his braid stylist arrives!
Just your typical man getting ready for his birthday!
James says the word “infiltrate”, thinks it isn’t a word because it sounds so foreign to him, and claims he made it up and now it’s a word.
Yep.

And I can’t even get started on Jax and his Roast and Britney’s mom being there for it.
THESE PEOPLE ARE DISGUSTING. 

:: SUMMER HOUSE :: 
I’ve been forgetting to talk about this show every week! 
and the verdict is…..
I LOVE IT. 
Love it. Loved it since episode one.
There is something about New York + The Hamptons/Montauk and East Coast people in general that always intrigues me, so add the Bravo reality show edge to it and I am in! 
I think the thing that I like the most about this show is that the people seem generally…. normal and likable. 


The twins for example.  I really like them! They seem very sweet and fun and I would want to be friends with them.
Even Kyle, who at first I thought was going to be a Grade A D-Bag, especially with the “entrepreneur” job title, I really love! 






I mean, look at him???  But I love him! 

He actually does seem to work as an entrepreneur and is successful (to my knowledge) and he is really funny.  Sure, he’s hooking up with a bunch of girls and blah blah, but again, he seems like a nice guy and he has had some funny commentary.
I think Carl seems like a douche (the one the single Twin is after) but again, he at least seems like a decent person! With a job! 
FINALLY. 
It’s SUCH a nice change from Vanderpump and all that garbage. 
These people work hard with good jobs, would be mortified if they didn’t seem intelligent or successful or at least driven, and are (in general) nice to each other and supportive friends.
I could go on and on because I’m really enjoying it.  Obviously there’s drama and all of that on the show, but I’m really digging it.  
Everett seems seriously alarming when he is angry. 

That relationship is skidding of the tracks fast.  
Even watching them clean as a group and cook dinners and everything is a nice change from the trash going on over and Vanderpump.  Seriously.  How sad is that, that I am commenting on that? I watch the twins cleaning up after the big party that went until the wee hours of the morning and then making a big breakfast for everyone and its like YES THIS IS WHAT YOU DO. SURE, DRINK YOUR FACE OFF, BUT BE A FREAKING ADULT!  


editors note : not nuts about the new girl this week, Jaclyn the fit model.  she seemed like she’d fit in better with the LA crowd….. 

:: JACKHOLE :: 
Ya know what really grinds my gears? 
When you go the gas station to pump your gas, and the pump you get is the one that shuts off after like $5 dollars of gas, and when you try to pull the handle and keep it going it just keeps shutting off.
Without fail – EVERY time I get gas, this is the pump I end up at.
Am I doing something? Pumping gas isn’t brain surgery, so what is going on?
And I have given up with pulling to a different pump.  
 I just drive off. PEESED. 
….so I go to the gas station about every other day.
It’s driving me nuts. 

EDITORS NOTE : 

as always, ignore my own blatant grammatical errors whilst I make fun of others poor grammar during coffee talk on a weekly basis.  

#hypocrite  #sorryimnotsorry
I write these posts late at night while simultaneously watching Bravo, taking snapchats of my snoring husband, and making to do lists of everything I was supposed to do and didn’t do that day and likely won’t do the next day either.  or the day after that.

January 25, 2017

:: wishlist wednesday ::
I have a slightly large list of lusts for this week because I combined some of my weekend finds that I didn’t get to share into this post! 
 In February I am lucky enough to have some weekend getaways
to Las Vegas and Scottsdale, 
so some warmer weather pieces may have snuck in there.


Let’s kick it off with this week’s steal of the week : 

SUNNIES UNDER $25!!!!! 

// TORTOISE SUNGLASSES // 


No…. not $25,000…. 

JUST PLAIN UNDER $25!!!! 
editors note: did you hear about Dana being in jail for Fraud? I guess she shouldn’t have flaunted those 25K shades and should have gone for the 25 dollar pair instead….. 

  



// TORTOISE SUNGLASSES // 

// TWIST BACK TANK // on sale for only $29! 

// SUEDE SKIRT // 


3 purses I am loving – all for a steal of a price – and each comes in several color options!
Any of these would be perfect for now all the way into spring.



 SATCHEL WITH BOW TIE     //    BRAIDED HANDLE SATCHEL     //    CAMEL SATCHEL 

// OFF THE SHOULDER NAVY DRESS // 

// RING SET IN ROSE GOLD // 


// GREY DRAPED BLAZER // 


Stripes + a unique back are always on my list of must haves! 
// LACE UP BACK STRIPED TOP // 
// ASYMMETRICAL RUFFLE DRESS // 


I love the color and cut of this top, plus its on super sale! 
// TWIST FRONT TOP // 


Next Up,
a whole collection WHITES for WINTER
okay….. some of these are full on beach whites….. but white nonetheless. 

// SWEATER DRESS // 


I’ve been on an open-draped-front-sweater-coat kick lately, and this may be favorite yet. 

// DRAPE FRONT COAT // 

// TASSEL SHOULDER DRESS // 

// PLAID SHIRT DRESS // 


Love, love this skirt.
Reminds me of a Club Monaco one I eyed for so long, but this is under $100. 
// FLOUNCE MINI SKIRT // 


I’ll be bringing my favorite jumpsuit to Vegas, and this looks just like it but in all white.  So cute. 
// WHITE JUMPSUIT // 


This staple shift dress comes in 3 colors. 
// ONE SHOULDER RUFFLE DRESS // 


The sleeves on this shirt are so different; perfect way to dress up jeans. 
// BELL SLEEVE TOP // 

// DRAPE FRONT DRESS //

:: I’m Back ! ::

January 24, 2017

:: I’m Back ! ::
If you visited the last couple of days, 
you may have noticed I disappeared.
And you may freaked out…..thinking that I left you.
And that you wouldn’t get award winning commentary on what is going on in the world during Coffee Talk’s ever again. 


My hugest apologies that I was down for a few days! 
Long story short, there was a miscommunication when I was changing my domain/hosting plan, and the universe hates me. Despite my best efforts all weekend, nada. 
I went through all of the emotions: anger, shame, guilt, fear….
a desire for alcohol and carbs to soothe the pain I was feeling internally and couldn’t express with words.



I knew I loved this blog and blogging, but I really learned how much I loved it this weekend when I had non-stop anxiety and panic attacks that I wouldn’t be able to get it back up and running. 



Shout out to my mom and husband for keeping me from going off the deep end during my dramatic predictions that I would never get it fixed and it was all over for me. 

but no really I was super calm and totally acted like an adult…..



anyways…. I DIGRESS. 
I am SO sorry. and I am BACK.  
and I’ll never leave you again (sorry, not sorry).
