being a grown-up

soup season

Well guys. It's that tights wearing, soup making, hot chocolate drinking, carol singing, fire warming time of the year.

Now I'm a pretty big chowder person. Don't get me wrong, I like my thin soups, but there is just something about a creamy soup that makes me melt. One particular lobster bisque I had in San Diego may have been in the top ten of best things I've ever eaten. However, that creamy deliciousness normally comes with a price to pay...it's not the best thing for you.

Not so fast my friend (thanks, Corso).

I've found a soup that is chowder-esque and healthy. This soup has been a staple for me during the past couple of winters, and I'm actually whipping it up as we speak.

It's Ellie Krieger's Corn and Vegetable Soup and it, my dear friends, is amazing. Check it out here.

It's so easy to make, and I substitute the red peppers with orange just to add another color to the mix. Enjoy!

So I actually wrote some things for this post, but they magically disappeared. Imagine that.

View from our seats...not too shabby.

Heisman ~~Finalist~~ Winner

Me trying to get on the big screen for fans of the game, but the broseph's AT&T

coverage wasn't allowing it. Then again my Verizon wasn't doing too well either.

Georgia Dome = Black Hole

a few of my not so favorite things...

Okay. Maybe just one...

Now I'm not one to normally judge hair because lets be honest...I'm not known for having my hair perfect all the time or any time for that matter. However, I also don't have my own personal stylist, and I'm not on tv everyday. I mean come on. That is a styled mullet. And as my then 4 year old nephew said one Christmas Eve while hiding under my parents bed..."I just can't take this anymore."

Lady. Fire. Your. Hair. Stylist. PLEASE. KThanksBye.

cyber monday and how it owned me

Cyber Monday has really been catching on the past few years, and this year...it caught me. You like that play on words? Thought so.

I can honestly say that I cannot believe what all I bought Monday. I am basically finished with my Christmas shopping as of Monday aka November aka that has never happened in the history of my life.

So besides the wonderful presents/steals that I bought for the rest of the fam, I bet you are really wondering what I bought for myself. If you are not, you might as well quit reading this post now.
