Hi, I'm Rachel.

A few years ago I could barely boil water.

True story.

Determined to be a kick ass wife, I developed a love for football and learned to cook in my tiny Jersey City kitchen. I spend my days working in Manhattan, my nights and weekends chasing after a rambunctious toddler, and the hours in between cooking with my husband and feeding my TV habit...oh, and I blog about it all!

{More Than} Five Things Friday

Hi there.

I wish I had a big barrel glass of this today.

Sorry I've been a little MIA yesterday and subsequently today. Lots going on and I just needed a small break :) It happens sometimes. I don't really have five things on this Friday, but instead, a hodgepodge of stuff that I want to share. Game?

I'm semi-obsessed with Physique 57. Is anyone else doing P57? Yesterday, my sisters and I did the workout on the upstairs landing in my parents house. Gotta love a portable workout that you really can do anywhere.

My jaw is still on the floor from Sunday's Game of Thrones. Did you watch? At the last scene, I turned to Shaun and screamed "NO! That's not real, right? Right?!!!" And he looked at me like I was cray. I probably am. But still.

I refuse to believe that the end is actually what they want us to believe and I might (might) stop watching if that's really what happened...but my stomach still feels all queasy and icky and all on-the-floor about it, everytime that scene enters my mind. Nothing like good TV.

 Theon, you a bad, bad boy.

Do you know what I hate? When I order breakfast and specify what I want...only to get back to the office, open the box and find out it is not.what.I.ordered. Gah!

The weather is absolute perfection today. I likes.

There's only 1 week until Memorial Day. How did that happen? Time why are you flying by like the speed of light?! There is no rush.

I finished reading Insurgent, the sequel to Divergent. I definitely didn't like it as much as the first one, but overall an enjoyable, quick read. 

Today I started reading Warm Bodies. It's a zombie love story. No bigs.

I know, I've gone off the deep end with this one I think. Or I'm just in Walking Dead withdrawals. But Christine told me to read it and I always trust her reading judgement (e.g., Hunger Games, Delirium and many more). So yeah. I'll keep you posted.

This weekend I'm spending the weekend with my BFF Lindsey to celebrate her bachelorette party. I'm so excited!

And that's all I've got for today. I hope you're out enjoying the weather and have wonderful plans for the weekend!

I feel ya on needing a break. I arranged my whole schedule in to take a "personal day" today. Soooooo necessary!
ps. My Hubs watches game of thrones and I read him what you wrote. He hasn't watched this week yet and is super excited now! (Although he read all the books so he usually knows what happens) Happy Weekend!
