IT'S SPRING BREAK!!!  Today, I will be driving back home for a week of home cooked meals and bonding with my parents.  There will be no girlsgonewild for this lady, but I can't guarantee a tipsy dance or two with my mother while sad songs blast on the radio...did I mention I do not drink??

For twenty-four years of my life, I have hated avocados with a type of fiery passion that can only be defined as the crazies.  People are always so incredulous.  How can you hate them?  Well, I'm sorry...I had no idea I was speaking with the president of avocados...

Because my diet is so restricted, I girded my loins and started to eat avocados.  This recipe works for me, a notorious avocado hater.  The key here is the crazy amounts of lemon.  I make a lot of this and package it in a mason jar.  It will keep for a whole week without getting black or going bad.  I use this as a side or garnish to all my non-sweet foods.

This past weekend, my sweet little sister was kind enough to lend me her body, so to speak.  Throughout the week, I will be showing you guy some of the dresses she was sweet enough to model for me since I have been in too much of a funk to even bother brushing my hair.

In the past, I did go through a compulsive shopping phase, full retail and all that jazz.  I love every single one of these dresses, but because of my stomach issues, I struggle to keep up my weight.  These dresses just do not look as nice on me as they should.  I have held onto some of these for more than three years without wearing them.  I think it's time to let some of these go since I no longer have the goods to fill them out.

Because of this, I joined a new web site called Threadflip where people can go and sell their gently used items at a discounted price.  I set up a link in my tabs at the top of the page in case some of you are interested.  I will continue to post some items in my little shop, but after spending some time on the web site, I think I may develop a new online thrifting problem...I just keep feeding the beast...

One last thing.  This past weekend, between turning in a ten page research paper and getting my cat fixed, I was peer-pressured into participating in a friendly game of laser tag with all my family members and their significant others.  Guess who got second place?!  THIS LADY RIGHT HERE!!  I beat everyone I knew.  Don't write me off in the zombie apocalypse just yet...

Is it sad that I could barely walk all day today because of all the crouching and crawling I did?  Eh...whatever.  I won!!

Are you tired of people coming to your house and telling you your egg-cooking-skills are downright abysmal?  Well, look no further friends, I have the perfect way to redeem your street cred:  faux poached eggs.  Now, these aren't your typical poached eggs.  Those require skill and patience to master.  Ain't nobody got time for that.  These are simple.  Anyone can do it.  Seriously.  Anyone...well, kind of.

They look just like the real deal, and taste like boiled eggs and fried eggs had a baby.  Here's how:


Place a piece of saran wrap over a small container.  The container has to be big enough to hold a broken egg.


Push in the saran wrap so that when you break the egg into the container, it will be nested safely.


Add your egg.


Twist the top of the saran wrap.  Fold over the top and impale it with a kabob stick.


Place the kabob stick over a boiling water bath.  Do not worry.  The plastic will not melt.  The egg should be done between 3-5 minutes, depending on how cooked you want it.  To remove the egg from the plastic, simply rub a butter knife gently between the egg and the plastic.  It should pop out easily if the egg is fully cooked.  Enjoy!
