yet another picture-heavy summary of my recent activities

my beloved blog. i know i resolved to use you more often but there is literally so much shtuff going down right now that you're the last thing on my mind. i know that's mean to say, but it's the honest truth. and i think we should be honest with each other.

here's the short list:
1. been writing a column for temple news. this week i wrote about zucchini and corn quesadillas. it was published with the most embarrassing tag line in all of temple news history. i'm torn between being totally mortified and laughing hysterically. check it out for yourself.
2. had a roomie dinner finally! we all have such different schedules but we were FINALLY able to get together for a meal. i made grandma weigel's baked mac'n'cheese with stewed tomatoes and chrissy made some exotic peas & onions soy sauce dish. love those ladies.
3. corrie found someone's fake ID on the street and we plotted ways to make her look like the girl in the picture so she could use it. we pretty much ended up just all trying on wigs though. i don't think they would let us into bars regardless of how good our ID's are. we're way too weird for the bar scene. and with this many wigs, who needs a social scene?
4. secret santa finally went down! only a month after christmas too! we're good. we ended up changing the name of the event from 'secret santas' to 'secret buddies' since it wasn't really a holiday thing anymore. mary was my secret santa and the girl seriously out-did herself. beautiful flower brooches and a red necklace/earrings combo and homemade blondies and red velvet whoopie pie mix and BEAUTIFUL gilded cake plates. i die. so good. we also had a delicious potluck and enjoyed each other's company. good to be back at temple.
