TidBits of Keni: 2010
A Tid Bit of Cooking
So I have been on a serious dry spell of cooking. I absolutely love cooking, but have just let myself get to busy to make time to enjoy it. So today i decided to cook a feast! I invited a couple of friends over and went to work to make these delicious grilled chicken skewers with a bbq honey glaze. I also sautéed zucchini & squash with spices, made homemade twice baked potatoes with chives, bacon bits, & cheese, and cooked some delicious rolls. It was wonderful to take the time to cook for friends and enjoy great conversation and a hearty meal. I have decided to make sure i cook at least one fabulous meal a week for someone else. Posted by
1. Beige or Brown Leather Jacket--I have wanted a leather jacket for like 2 years now and so I have decided that this is my year! This one is from Neimans, but they are just so expensive.2. Business Suits--I need a professional Business suit for interviews and I am not too sure how i should go about approaching shopping for this. Anybody have any experience or ideas? Or know where a good place to get a suit skirt, pants, and blazer? I'm thinking a solid black one...3. A pair of Booties--these are from Banana republic, but I just want a cute pair that I can wear with anything!4. The Gap Legging Jean--I have never bought a pair of skinny jeans because I never thought they were flattering on me, but I think this fall is going to be my time to jump off this cliff and buy me a pair and I think that the Gap Legging Jean is going to be the one to do it.
Big Year. Big Events.
Well so far this semester has been full of big events....My best friend got married http://vimeo.com/15088111 (watch the video-an absolutely wonderful wedding!)...I have my first interview as i ponder what the heck i am meant to do in this life and last but certainly not least i got my aggie ring and learned that chugging beer is the worst invention and am so complexed at why people do that for fun...but overall a good beginning to the last stage of an incredible journey. There our a couple reason why i have finally decided to start writing on my very empty blog...1. I have a couple key things & hobbies i want to either begin or pick back up and for some odd reason think that writing about it will hold me accountable even though i don't expect anyone to read about my pretty average life. But hopefully you will begin to see what those activities are as i continue writing. 2. I am a nocturnal person and am never able to fall asleep and always looking for odd ways to fill my lonely hours that i seem to be the only one awake. 3. i'd like to believe i live an adventurous life but feel the need to write about it in order to test its validity and if it does not seem up to par i am declaring now that i need more spice and sugar in my life because i want to live one adventure to the next. Well those are my 3 reasons of the day to finally put meaningless words on a blank screen, but i am sure as i carry on i will discover many more reasons why i think the blogging world might be beneficial to my discovery of the little things in life that somehow brighten my days. so here goes nothing!
