One Small Favor

I have a job interview on Friday and every time I think about it I feel like I'm going to throw up.

I wasn't going to tell you about it, because I don't like talking about it that much and I figured if I told you and I didn't get it then I'd have to tell you I didn't get it and then I would be sad.  

But I believe in the power of prayer...

So if you're reading this, and you believe in that too, please pray for me.  

My Run

So I joined this blogging world basically to keep people on the other side of the Atlantic up to date with my life and take pictures of food ( don't judge I'm a natural fatass). Somewhere along the line I met Emz, and I started following her because she is funny.  

But I didn't know what I was getting myself into, you see, this chick runs marathons for FUN.  I know, right?  Who does that?

I think I read one too many of her running posts and then for some crazy reason I put do a half and full marathon on My Bucket list...

I still haven't signed up for one yet, I'm not quite brave enough - but yesterday I finally completed the 7 mile loop from my house to the reservoir and back!

So I figured I take this opportunity to share some photos of my route and my playlist with all you crazy running bloggers out there!  Please don't judge me for being such a teenie bopper.

July 17th

Today last year we got married.

It was the single best day of my life... so far.

Our wedding couldn't have been more perfect.

But, this year has had it's ups and downs...

And I wouldn't recommend marrying a foreigner to anyone -

because it's not easy.

But if you are totally, completely in LOVE with them -

then it's worth it.

Happy anniversary Neener!

I love you so so much!

Breakfast at Tiffany's Tuesdays : Like a Drink of Cherry Cola

Ok I know it's Wednesday, but I made this yesterday so it still counts.  I was going to post it last night, but I started my work experience yesterday and the country bus I must take to get there only runs once an hour.  Meaning I spent an hour of my life twiddling my thumbs at the station and didn't get home till 11:30.  Oh big old American SUV how I miss you!!!

Here is my healthy and delicious breakfast smoothie.  It made me sing that drinkacherrycola savage garden song all morning.  Kind of annoying but worth it.  Hope you like it.

Ingredients

• 1 banana
• 1 cup frozen cherries
• 1/2 - 1 cup soy milk (depending on whether you want it more icecreamy or smoothie-ish)

Blend away my friends!  

Ps.....

Watermelon and Arugula Salad

After all that ice cream and cupcakes I have been trying to get back on track with the cleanse.  I am finding it pretty challenging, and usually when I fail it's because I'm not prepared.

We were running low on grocercies last week and that was making it really hard on me.  However, I'm still working on delicious detox recipes and I figure even if I don't eat like this ALL the time, eating like this sometimes is better than never.  Right?

Last September I posted this delicious recipe from epicurious for Watermelon, Arugula (aka Rocket in England), and Feta salad. With the simple removal of feta, this recipe is detox friendly and still super yummy.  

Watermelon is my summer season obsession so I try to use it as much as possible.  Incorporating it into salads - hellz yeah!  And if you are cooking for someone who seriously objects to veganism, (like my husband) adding some feta to it takes no extra effort.

Enjoy!
