First thing’s first…
Glad we got that out there……
“Say What You Wanna Say” SNL Skit
Please. I beg of you. If you spend 3 minutes and 47 seconds to do anything today, WATCH THIS. I promise you’ve internalized most of the things they say, verbatim. It makes me laugh so hard every time.
“We’re not friends, and we’re never going to hang out. So, I’m going to not do this. I’m going to go away now.” Haha don’t you wish you could say that when you run into that random acquaintance on the street? And how many times do you ask someone to repeat their name because you can’t remember at the end of your conversation…and then you STILL don’t listen?
Finding new coffee shops
On my way to my first Girls On The Run practice, my assistant coach and I decided to meet up at one of her favorite coffee shops in Lakeview. I had never been to Heritage before, but my iced soy latte was truly one of the creamiest, simplest and yet most decadent lattes I’ve ever had. It was unusually sunny on Monday so it was the first time I’ve ordered an iced drink in months.
House of Cards Season Three
Spoiler alert: it’s devilishly addicting, as you would expect. If you’ve never watched this series, the first five episodes are dull as a doornail, but pleeeeease push through because it gets INSANE.
Snapchat: Discover
This new feature of Snapchat has become an awesome source of news and entertainment. Bonus? Food Network has a section and it’s always a random recipe or video featuring one of my favorite chefs. It’s the kind of stuff you don’t know you want to know until you see it — then you wonder how you ever lived a day without that knowledge.Yesterday I watched Bobby Flay grill pizza dough, and there was an awesome recipe for guava juice with chia seeds. It’s all the info I used to get when I forked over the $5 for Food Network magazine once a year for the October issue (autumn errrrythang). But now it’s fo free!
Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup
Sometimes you throw things in a crockpot and magic happens. I’ve been swimming in chicken noodle soup this week and it’s been glorious. No recipe, really, just chicken, chicken broth, zucchini, green peppers, celery, onion and carrots, seasoned with salt, pepper, thyme and a little garlic, all thrown in the hot tub for a few hours and voila.
Vans
So apparently going to that Metro City Soundtrack concert last week has permanently transported me to 2007 because I’m back to wearing Vans. They’re incredible. They’re the perforated black slip-ons and I haven’t taken them off my feet in a few days. Can’t stop won’t stop.
So…shoes, SNL,soup, I think we got all our bases covered for a good pre-weekend “favorites” edition. What were some of your “favorites” this week?
Now seriousy….go watch that first video. Still peeing.
i had a big lunch 
MmmmmMmmm…that soup looks yum! I love the ‘say what you wanna say video’! I have seen it before and it is definitely one of the best! Have a great weekend!
I laugh every time I watch it! Have a great Friday Stacy!
Even though those shoes are not the most glamorous, they sure do look comfy! That chicken noodle soup looks delicious and sounds very simple. Perfect for these cold days.
They’re SO comfy. Even though it’s been freezing I’ve still been wearing them almost on a daily basis haha. The soup helps keep me warm though 🙂
Okay, when I’m on a proper computer I need to watch that skit. I stayed up late the other night just going through SNL videos (the Harry Potter ones and Real Housewives of disney = gold).
The Real Housewives of Disney is HYSTERICAL! Kristen Wiig is my homegirl!
I have finished season 3 of House of Cards (we watched them all in 3 days) and I loved every episode! but I just love politics, especially american politics, so the more political and technical it gets the more I love it!
I LOVE your vans! I am desperate for a pair and will probably get some for the summer, too cold to wear right now! I have seen a leopard print pair that I want so bad!
Get the vans!! I keep wearing them even though it’s winter haha. I’m almost done with season 3 and my jaw has hit the floor more than one time! Soooo good.
I am so impressed by your “throw everything in the crock pot and see what happens” recipe! I would be so nervous to end up with a meal I didn’t like after letting it cook all day long! But your soup looks delicious!
Haha thanks! The main reason I shared it is because it worked out so well 😉 there are so many times that my “just throw it all in there” techniques don’t turn out so well haha. Have a great weekend Lisa!
I have heard amazing things about Heritage Bicycles. It didn’t make the cut for the best cozy coffee shops post that I wrote for work (you should check that out, btdubs) but it is definitely many people’s fave!
If you ever feel like journeying up north I’ll take you 🙂
That SNL video is hilarious! I am so so bad at remembering people’s names. I need it repeated like five times before it really sticks.
SAME! I usually have to be reintroduced to people two or three times before I remember! It’s so embarrassing haha
Haha that was a good video. Also, I watched all of HOC seasons 3 last weekend when it came out. I may have a problem.
Yeah I think I would have, but I wasn’t totally caught up with Season 2. You’re a binge-watcher, that’s for sure!! haha we’ll have to talk about it next time we hang out!
I know, seriously, how is it March. It really will be Christmas again before we know it.
I don’t mind that winter flew — but if May/June/July go by this fast Imma be MAD!
Imma need to watch that video when I get home and have sound. 🙂
It seems like there is a lot of coffee chat around the blog world today. I APPROVE. And I also approve of Vans and home made chicken noodle. Mr. Salt just made buckets of it the other day! (Like literally.There is no more room in my fridge!) The best. I hope you have a marvelous weekend! Happy MARCH!
I had to freeze some! That’s the thing about soup–when you make it, you can’t just make a little. It’s usually enough to feed an army!
Love the video, hilarious! I never watched it before so thank you it made my day. I love ice coffee, lattes, seriously I drink it almost everyday even when is snowing and blizzard like weather. Don’t judge 🙂
Wow that’s crazy! when it’s cold out I love my coffee hot hot hot! But that iced coffee was so to-die-for that I’ve been craving it every day since! So creamy!
Hahaha that video was everything I needed today! Lol’ed like an idiot. Happy Friday!
They said all the things I’ve ever thought in those types of situations. I was in stitches!
Haha that video was hilarious!! Love your Vans. I have a pair of gray ones and always forget how much I love wearing them!
Once I broke them in they became my comfiest pair of shoes! They’re like Toms, but with more support 🙂
Bikes and coffee??! My kind of place!!
Oh my gosh you would LOVE this place!!!
Just watched the video – too funny! Ugh, I hate when I can’t remember names… One thing that just came to mind is when a few of my girlfriends who I’ve known for years and years continually make the same relationship mistake of trying to make it work with a guy when it’s clearly not going to is to say, “Sweetie, he’s just not that into you. This isn’t going to end well. Move on!!” Sounds cruel but good lord, I would love to say it sometime! Hahaha.
Hahaha there are so many times when you WANT to say something but you know you can’t. It’s so funny that this sketch brough most of those thoughts to light haha I was laughing so hard!
