yum

Yesterday I used this recipe to make Cafe Rio's sweet pulled pork burritos, and let me tell you, it was delicious. Next time I do it I'll use her recipe for the rice and beans as well so I can get the full effect, but having the meat perfect was oh so heavenly. Apparently Dan knows how to make tortillas from scratch (they did this on his mission a bunch), so next time we'll also have homemade tortillas. Yum yum yum. If you don't live in Utah, like me, but are obsessed with Cafe Rio, I recommend this.

We have found our new favorite thing.
Frozen Yogurt.

There is a new store that just opened up here in Manhattan called the Orange Leaf.
Basically, there is a wall full of all different flavors of frozen yogurt
and you grab a bowl and self serve however much yogurt you want.
Then, you go to this buffet thing and pick any toppings you want.
Yum.
After that they weigh it, and you pay.
I got vanilla yogurt with a bunch of different fruits and it was
Heavenly.

Thank you Fro Yo for giving us a pretty excellent, and mighty affordable, date.

I LOVE

Biolage Normalizing Shampoo.

Love, love, love, love. I mentioned a while back how weird my hair has been acting, weird oily spot in the back while the rest was super dry and unmanageable, and until this morning it was still doing all kinds of weird things. I went to get my hair cut (FINALLY) a couple days ago, and my hair dresser suggested I try this, so I bought it yesterday. It's quite pricey, but when you're pregnant and your hair starts doing all kinds of horrible things, it's worth every penny to get back to normal. Ahhhhhhhhh

these are my confessions

1. I am totally obsessed with Mr. Darcy, and Pride and Prejudice as a whole, but mostly Mr. Darcy. I have been in love with him for as long as I can remember. Yes, he is a completely fictional character and I totally understand that. Don't be alarmed, I'm not one of those crazy nut jobs, I promise. But, I do read Pride and Prejudice every year, I own both the 8 hour BBC and new 2009 version of the movie, and I buy and read any book that has anything to do with the after-the-wedding Lizzy and Darcy story. Yeah, it's embarrassing. I own two books dedicated to Darcy's point of view for the story of Pride and Prejudice, and then like... 4? books dedicated to telling the "rest of the story". It's a problem and I understand it, but come on. Who doesn't have a crush on a fictional character right? At least it isn't Edward Cullen or Jacob Black (no offense to anyone out there).

2. I own entirely too many dresses. I realized this fact this morning when I was trying to decide what to wear and noticed that my dresses take up more room in my closet than my shirts. I am obsessed. I cannot help myself! If I see a dress I like, I just have to get it. Some women are this way with shoes or something else, and I am like this with dresses. What can I say? I look good. ;)

3. I am completely hopeless when it comes to medicine. Let me explain: half a Benadryl will knock me out cold for a whole day. NyQuil will keep me "drunk" and drowsy for at least 12 hours. Non-drowsy cold medicine will knock me out for a couple hours at least. See what I mean? Hopeless. I took HALF a Benadryl last night cause I had allergies so bad and then I slept for 10 hours. Without moving. Or waking up at all. I am now sitting here, barely awake, and totally groggy. It's a little sad

4. I wish I could be Tina Fey. Or, at the very least, meet her. She is a powerful, strong, successful, and hilarious woman and I really look up to her. Amazing.

5. My favorite new thing lately is buying cute tanks (cause that's all they're selling now) and coupling them with cute little half jacket things. Who says garments have to cramp your summer style?

6. I am such a nervous person that it could be considered a handicap. I could probably get a parking sticker out of it.

7. I would rather spend all day watching movies with Dan than do anything else on the planet

8. I want to go to New Zealand so badly that I ache for it. Seriously.

9. I am more than a little obsessed with Sara Lee's Classic Honey Wheat Bread. Oh wow. I eat slice after slice with nothing on it for a snack. Love! In fact, I'm eating some right now. Yum.

10. I am secretly enjoying being a trophy wife and taking care of Dan while he is so busy. This will probably fade after a while and it helps that I do have a semi-regular, sort-of, kind-of job that I get paid for. But, for all intense and purposes, I am a trophy wife. It's the life. :)
