Oh So Tired

Oh dear God I am exhausted. I literally made myself write this post, and I LOVE to blog! I have no energy to finish recounting the events from Chicago; let's just say my dream one day is to work at Kiehls and live in the nearby neighborhood while going to school to get my master's in photography from the Art Institute. I loved it. My sister graduated from high school today, which is the real reason why I am too tired to post this weekend. It is not her fault, it is just that my entire family is here and dealing with Dave's family too, it is just a tiring experience. Add on to this long day having to rescue two of the nicest dogs I have ever seen off the side of the road, and you have a cocktail for sleepiness. I love going to my high school's graduations because it is like a little mini reunion. I am literally falling asleep writing this post, so the last thing I will mention is that I am going to be in a documentary about The Office! It is almost done and will be on YouTube shortly. I am EXTREMELY excited!! I will try to post a more coherent entry tomorrow, and also post a memory on Life Before Blogging. It has been a while!

Last stand of the flies...

Their origins were humble, looking out above the country they would soon overwhelm. Truly born to be warriors with their metallic armor and featherlight weapons; the day would soon come for the invasion to begin. On the day that fate would call theirs, they emerged in a matter of seconds, only to realize that their plan had a fatal flaw -- what they once thought would be an easily navigated exit turned out to be impenetrable. They were trapped, and the hours were ticking away until the return of the monster that ruled the land below. To no avail they attempted escape, and inevitably the creature returned. Backed against their thwarted route of escape, they were taken out one by one in a brutal first round of battle, but eventually the bloodshed ceased. If only they could have known what tortured awaited them. The monster was not satisfied with killing them one by one, she wanted them to suffer for their gall and skills of evasion. She returned with prisons that bound their arms and legs, but caused no pain, just excruciating starvation. Most of the army was captured this way, men side by side, being cruelly awakened and reminded of his state, just for the pleasure that the beast felt in knowing they were still alive. This massacre went on for days, and surely at any time they will be put out of their misery. Alas, they continue to attract more brave soldiers in the attempt to rescue their comrades. Carry on, fly masters...

This is the so sad story that runs through my mind as I was chasing flies in my apartment with sticky traps. I feel bad for killing them, but not at the same time. Stupid flies. I am the monster in the story, by the way, and I feel this is how it would have gone down if the flies were like Spartans.

Chicago: The Food

Instead of giving a day-to-day account like normal I am going to break the trip up into categories. I decided to start with food because it was exceptionally wonderful on this trip. And according to Jack the only good pictures I take are close-ups of food. Whatev. Interestingly, the very first meal we ate on our trip was at McDonald's in the Hispanic part of town.



Thankfully that did not set the tone of the rest of the food on the trip. So after McDonald's we were supposed to go to the Shedd Aquarium, but Jack did not realize that parking was at least $16 anywhere you go, so we ended up just driving around trying to find a free parking place. It was not going to happen, so we went sight-seeing downtown and ended up at a wine tasting bar right next to the House of Blues. It was called Bin 36, and was very nice. It was a dressier place, so I am glad I was wearing my new red dress! Our waiter was one of those that knows all the wines by heart and knows which cheese goes with which wine, and so forth. I ordered a flight of Left Coast Reds, which means four individual servings of red wines that come on a little place card that tells which one is which. Jack got a flight of whites which were really good too. Our waiter also brought us a custom-made cheese flight to go with our wine. Heaven!!







We had dinner reservations at 7:30 that night, so after wine we went shopping for a while then went to dinner at Gene and Georgetti's. It is this wonderful mafia Italian
restaurant and we got a very quiet table in the corner. The food was amazing all around. Just a note, the entire time we were there this wonderful crusty-but-soft-in-the-center bread was everywhere. I LOVE BREAD. So that is what I ate first at Gene and Georgetti's. We then ordered calamari, and Jack and I got salads. I ordered the petite fillet mignon, but it was huge. Even though at that time I was stuffed just on bread Jack made me eat the entire steak. Maybe Jennie's fav story of the trip is me leaning back in my chair after I finished my steak, moaning and rubbing my stomach in the pain of fullness, then reaching over and buttering myself another piece of the delicious bread. How could I let the whole loaf go to waste?!?! It was just really good, and a great way to start off the trip.




The next day was Shedd Aquarium all morning. At most of the big museums there are nice restaurants as well as cafeteria-style eateries for those on a budget or with kids. It was Mother's Day, so we decided to eat at the nice restaurant at the Shedd, which I think was called The Breakers. We sat at a lovely table overlooking the harbor, and ate organic, environmentally friendly food. That is another thing I love about Chicago, is that they are very earth-friendly, and do things like on use sustainable resources in their food. At the end of the meal Linda and Jennie both got these beautiful white chocolate shells with chocolate mousse and a side of berries for free since they are moms (to-be). I have been told that the picture of this particular dessert is my best work yet.





That night we ate at the Chicago pizza chain Giordano's for some traditional deep dish. We got Canadian bacon, black olives, and mushrooms, and it was delish!!!




Monday was the first day of the conference, so lunch was on the house in the exhibition hall. It was good, but not really worth mentioning. What is worth mentioning is the churro that Jennie bought and made me eat. "Do you even like churros?" "Well, it is fried dough rolled in sugar...what do you think?!?!" Yum! That night we had dinner reservations at La Scarola with the owner of the exhibit design firm who is doing our free enterprise exhibit. There was wine, pasta, dessert, and coffee, and it was wonderful. The best part was that Druce (that is our designer's name) was super nice and picked up the tab. We closed down La Scarola, which was really fun!!


La Scarola!


Day two of the conference: no free lunch. We took a cab into Chinatown and dined at this tiny little Chinese food restaurant that I can't remember the name of. I got Orange Chicken, and let's just say it was nice to eat some real Chinese food! No Panda Express here! That night was when we had 9:00 dinner reservations at Frontera Grill. I later learned that Frontera was just named the #! restaurant in the country, which it totally deserves. Despite having amazing food and drinks at a somewhat reasonable price compared to the other places we ate, we got to eat next to Jamie Oliver all night, and our two groups closed the restaurant. Jamie Oliver is the naked chef, and he was there with a group of his friends celebrating a birthday. I got a glass of wine and these amazing little pulled pork biscuit things, and a crazy seltzer water float for dessert. We ate there in Tuesday, and on Thursday I had the day off to recoup from the trip before returning to work on Friday. For the first time ever I had the chance to watch both Ellen and Oprah, and guess who was featured on Oprah??!?!?! Frontera Grill and it's amazing chef Rick Bayless! I had just been there like 36 hours ago! It was pretty cool!

Day three and our last day of the conference. After hearing Doris Kearns Goodwin speak and going to one morning session, Jennie and I caught a cab over to the Art Institute. We were really hungry, and opted for the nice sit-down place in the Institute as opposed to the cafeteria. Unlike the Shedd, however, both looked amazing! Eating at the Art Institute was amazing. Jennie and I shared a huge hamburger and a fruit crisp with vanilla bean ice cream for dessert. It may have been my favorite meal of the trip, just because it was so relaxed and delicious and a wonderful, beautiful atmosphere. I also had about 6 cups of coffee, which I regretted with a night of plane riding ahead of me. Jennie and I spent the afternoon at the Art Institute, and on our way to the airport we stopped by the Windy City hotdog stand to get our authentic Chicago dog. I did not get one because I was still full from lunch, but Jack's and Jennie's looked goooood! The rest of the trip was McDonald's and airplane food.

All in all one of the best culinary experiences ever. I would totally recommend any of the places we went, plus many many more I am sure if I has had the time to stay and look around more.

Chicago Here We Come!!

This week has been insane in a we-have-accomplished-nothing-and-are-living-for-The-Office-tonight kind of way. Today is Carrie's last day of work, which is entirely tragic. She will be missed greatly! She is sad too, but not too much seeing as how she has a kick-ass job in FL waiting for her! Congrats Carrie!! We have all gone out to eat for lunch twice this week, which is unprecedented. Today at lunch Jack proved to be extremely excitable, and since Sammy was with us, the amount of ragging on the girls reached a new height. The latter half of lunch was spent trying to convince me that Volvo's are trash and I should just suck it up and get a BMW. I liked that Jack lives in a world where he pays me enough to buy a car like that. Buying a Volvo will already put us in the food stamps line. Maybe that is because we will also be buying David a new truck at the same time, but whatever. The point is that Jack is excited about Chicago. We are both extremely excited about the food, which is not the point of going, but always ends up being the main attraction. By the way, Jack is my oh-so-goofy boss, for those of you who don't know. I am actually more excited about The Office tonight, because in order to get to Chicago I have to pack. Grrr. Tonight Pam will confess her undying love for Jim fireside in front of all the people who already know. I love it!! It BETTER HAPPEN NBC!!! In honor of two of our fav things -- The Office and Natalie Dee -- we are making Weiner Wings for dinner. To learn about Weiner Wings, go HERE. We are thinking of doing a video response, so look for that at some point. Then the rest of tonight will be spent packing. I have to be at Jack's house at some ungodly hour on Saturday since we will be in the city by noon. We will be right by the lake every day at the convention center and various museums and restaurants until Wednesday night. The trip's official title is... DUH DUH DUHHHHH... LAS VEGAS II: CHICAGO!!! Love it. Thanks to Jennie for that one. I have left all the dinner reservations up to Jack, who never disappoints, and I have been looking up directions to more important things. Like the Chicago Keihls store. AKA, Mecca. Things I have bought for the trip include: tiny toothpaste, of which I already have a bunch but I love to shop in the tiny travel section; Life Savers; gum; a toothbrush holder; oil absorbing pads for my greasy face; a new pair of sunglasses; and Dramamine for the plane. All necessary, all piss David off as he is waiting for me to shop for them. Double worth it:) JK! So Chicago here I come!!! I am excited. Are you VERY excited? Yes, I am very excited. Are you EXTREMELY excited?!?! long glance... No, just very? That's cool. I am very excited!

Here are some pics of Carrie's last day on the job.... :(

Things on the Mind...

Yesterday my mom and I went shopping to pick me up some new jeans. I had intended on buying one pair of "nice" jeans from the GAP and two pairs of "work" jeans from Wal-Mart or something. I also needed a pair of black sunglasses because I have continually been breaking the fashion code of wearing brown sunglasses with everything. They are a $20.00 Target pair and I love them, but they do not go with my many black outfits and they are getting a little worn out. So I buy some beautiful Fossils that are black on the outside and marbled green on the inside, then we went to the GAP. Now, please let me know if anyone agrees with my next theory. I love the GAP, because, like I have blogged about before, they carry jeans that are long enough for me. However, it is still hard for me to find a pair that I really like and fit me well, because two pairs that are the same size, cut, everything, always seem to fit differently. That is good I guess because it means they are made by hand and are high quality, but it means that I have only ever found a small handful of jeans from there that I love love love. So that is my theory, that no two pairs are alike. Anyway, yesterday I was wearing a pair of my love love love GAP jeans that are a size 8. I have gained some weight since I got married; nothing huge, just like 5 or 6 pounds, but I now need a size 10. I took 4 pairs into the dressing room with me, and the first two I tried on did NOT fit. My mom suggested I go get size 12 in both. I suggested I go jump off a cliff. Thankfully, the next two I tried on fit very well. I was amazed that in one sitting I found two pairs that worked out; that never happens. The other bad thing about GAP jeans is the fact that they cost a fortune. But, I was lucky, so I bought both and now will be wearing $70.00 jeans to move the dusty nasty Museum collection. The point of this is is that while I was standing there in the jeans department looking for a size 10L, I inwardly recalled the days when I could wear a size 6L with no problemo. *weep* But, on the other hand, I do not recall a time that I was not self-conscious about my weight. Even when I weighed 100 lbs at the staggering 5'10" that I am still today, I worried about what I ate and the jeans that I bought. How did this happen? I look back on pictures of Young Mary Beth and want to tell her to eat all the McDonalds she wants!! Do it now while your metabolism allows it!! But I can't. Why? Because she is me, and I still obsess about my weight. I am comfortable in my size 10L jeans because I like having curves and boobs, but I will use the close call of buying size 12s as my reason to get off my butt and go the gym every once and a while.

Yummy Yummy Eggs!!

Today is Saturday and I am at my parent's house for the weekend while David is in Waco continuing on his life-long quest to finish his thesis. I HATE it when he has to stay in Waco, or when I am with him in Waco for the weekend and he has to work on it while I am there. I wish he would just get it done already!! Anyway, my mom has been at computer training all morning, and for fun I thought I would make a different breakfast. My inspiration was the movie "V for Vendetta." I liked that movie alright, but it has always stuck in my mind that not once but twice Natalie Portman was made eggs in a basket for breakfast in that movie. Eggs in a basket is where you cook the egg inside the toast in a frying pan. I tried it and really liked it, so when my sister and her friend Holly were ready to eat breakfast I made it for them too. I think it was a success! Here is my recipe for Eggs in a Basket:

2 pieces white or wheat bread
2 eggs
1 Kraft American cheese single
I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Lite!
Salt
Some sort of non-stick spray
Large frying pan
Cup or wine glass

Set the eye you are going to use on medium heat and place your pan on it.

Lay out your pieces of bread and butter them. Take your cup (I used a wine glass with better results, the rim is thinner and cuts easily) and punch out a circle in the center of each piece of bread. Save the centers and set them aside.

Spray your pan lightly with the non-stick spray, then place your bread baskets butter side down on the pan.

Immediately crack the eggs and put one in the center of each piece of bread. Sprinkle a little salt on each one.

Cook until the bottom of the egg is firm enough to flip. You don't want the bread to get burned, so flip asap. Before you flip, put a little butter on the bread so it gets nice and brown when you flip.

Once you have flipped the baskets, place half of the cheese single on top of each egg and put the centers that you set aside butter side down in the extra areas of the pan. Flip those until they are as crispy as you like them.

Once the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the baskets and put them on a plate. Put the centers that are still in the pan on top of the cheese.

Enjoy! I suggest eating with a fork and knife. Yum!

Mary and Jessica's 2nd Vlog!!

They are here!

So literally a few hours after I blogged about my new fun shoes that are on their way, they arrived in the back office! Jess and I are so so excited. Here are pics of the fun shoes!




I LOVE SHOES AND ZAPPOS

Ok, so yesterday I got an email from Zappos.com saying they were offering free overnight shipping on all orders. I get one of these email about once a week, but I always delete them since we are trying to save money. However, there is a pair of shoes in my favorites folder on Zappos that I have wanted to buy for forever, and every time I get one of those emails I am tempted to buy the shoes with it, but I don't. There is also a pair of shoes on J. Crew that I have wanted. They are distressed blue Jack Purcell lace-up sneakers, but they are like $65.00. The ones I wanted on Zappos are $67.50. These prices are just too much to pay for a pair of basic tennis shoes. So all the Jack Purcell shoes on J. Crew are unisex, so I looked in their men's section just for fun, and they had a pair of blue slip ons. I love them!! Since they were also too expensive, so I looked on zappos, and sure enough they had them for $5.00 cheaper and free overnight shipping and no tax. Yesssss. So as I was in the middle of this realization Jessica walked in and caught me looking at shoes, like she often does. But this time, instead of reprimanding me, she was like "Oh I want those in white!!!" So we each got a pair, mine in blue and hers in white. Both pairs for $90.00 even. And they will be here today. I LOVE Zappos! That is really the reason for this blog, because Zappos relies on word-of-mouth, and since they did such a great job with this particular order I wanted to let everyone know how great they are. They always have the biggest selection of shoes for reasonable prices. I also love them because they have about 400 pairs of Borns. I have bought a couple pairs of Borns for them. Check out the story in pics below...

www.zappos.com


These are the Ed Hardy deck shoes I originally wanted. They are REALLY cute, but not really wearable with a lot of stuff at work. I think this is another reason why I have hesitated ordering them.



These are the J. Crew shoes that I loved but were also too exensive.



The J. Crew deck shoes. VERY cute, but too expensive when there was a much less expensive version on Zappos.



Yay! The ones I ended up buying. $45.00 even



Jessica's shoes!!

Tall

Ho hum, this weekend has been non-eventful. That is ok, though, as I a usually too busy to think straight. A couple of things to discuss today. The first is the fact that I have been watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer on DVD from the beginning. I have to watch it on my computer with headphones on because David will not watch it with me. He is not too fond of venturing into the unknown, especially when the unkown might seem a little girly. Buffy is not girly, I don't think. Anyway, it took me like three months to get through the first season. It is not that it was bad, just very corny compared to the rest of the show. The Office is like that too. What is up with that? Ok, so now I am obsessed with Buffy. I was borrowing the seasons one at a time from a co-worker, but I just said screw it and took the entire box set from my mom. The Chosen Collection, as it is called. I love it! I have a crush on David Boreanaz, who plays Angel. Very appropriate name, I think.



The next thing to talk about is my newest you tube discovery thanks to my friend Deana. His name is William Sledd, and I have literally been watching his videos all day long. At one point my mom had to tell me to take my freakin headphones off and talk to her because I had been listening to them all morning. One of the many reasons why I love William, other than the fact that he loves J. Crew, which is my fav store ever, is that he works at the GAP. I really love the GAP because they make jeans that are long enough for me. I am 5'10", so finding long pants is just plain hard, except for at the GAP and J. Crew. Just today I was wearing a pair of my favorite jeans, which are GAP. I also love that he loves the Long and Lean jeans, which I have a couple of pairs of. Recently I bought a pair of very cute blue and white stripe seersucker pants there, and they are super long and very sailor-ish looking. I really need a cute pair of red shoes to wear with them! Listening to him talk about the GAP all day makes me want to go shopping there, but I know I need to stay home! I also just bought a swim suit from J. Crew, which was on super-duper sale. It is a new one this season, too, so I guess it must have gone really fast and they only had the select sizes left. The one I got is a really pretty color of bugundy. Pics below.





So other than William, I had a kind of high school weekend. I talked to my high school best friend Deana for like two-and-a-half hours last night on AIM, which was so so fun! It was really nice to catch up after so long. Then today I got together with my friend Charlotte who just bought a house in Harker Heights with her fiance Dane. I got to see her house which was so cute. It is brand new so it is just waiting for her to bring on the charm, which she totally will. It made me look forward to me and Dave looking at houses this summer! I forgot to mention that Charlotte is also my high school friend, hence the high school weekend. This week my co-workers are back in the office after a long week at the Texas Association of Museums meetings in Austin, so I am sure there will be lots of stories to tell! OH OH OH!!! And new OFFICE this week! I am SO excited I can hardly stand it. The last thing I want to mention is to check out my new blog Life Before Blogging at www.lifebeforeblogging.blogspot.com. It is a blast from the past for those of you who have known me for a while!

Ready for Chicago!!

Today I did something that has been long overdue -- I bought a dress! I know this is not some great achievement, but I have been wearing the same dress for about the past five years. It is a strapless black shift dress from Express; beautiful, but worn out. I wore it in Vegas a couple of times, but since it is strapless it limits the places I can wear it comfortably. I am always cold, so that is a problem, too. So today mom and I went to Dillard's and I bought one dress, and she bought the other one that I really loved. Now, with my new pair of Borns and my new dresses, I am all set to go to Chicago in May!


This is the dress my mom bought for me. It is cool because the back is the same as the front, so it has a deep V and shows off the back!!


This is the dress that I bought. I have been eying it for a while, and it finally went on sale. Both dresses were on sale!! Yay I love a bargain! This dress has pleating on the front with a row of covered buttons. I love it!

Saturday Stuff

So here is what my Saturday has consisted of....

This morning I surfed the internet a lot. I like coming home because, unlike when we stay in Waco, I don't feel the desire to clean my surroundings or be a busy body. My parent's house is always clean because they hire someone to do it. This sounds snobby, but we moved to this huge house almost 2 years ago, and cleaned it ourselves for about 7 months. It was the most stressful thing ever, because it took ALL WEEKEND for us to do it. So we hired someone to come do it, and it is amazing. Anyway, So all morning I surfed the web, and was reading Jenna Fisher's blog on MySpace. She referenced a website called www.officetally.com, so I went to it. It is the official site for Office info, and promoted and approved by the entire Office cast and crew. It has the most Office information than any other website I have ever seen, and is super-fun to read. Make sure to check it out if you are a hard core Office lover!! The other website that you have to go to is Mindy Kaling's blog. Mindy plays Kelly Kapoor on The Office, and her blog is called "Things I've Bought That I Love" and it is hilarious! She is the main writer, but a dozen of her friends contribute. This site is mainly for girls, but not toally. The site is http://mindyephron.blogspot.com/ Go there now!!

So the other thing I have done today is go get my hair colored. While my color was soaking in I caught up on my People Magazine reading. In the latest issue I found two books that I must have, and I saw that Demi Moore gave a big shout out to Kiehls Lipgloss, which is my fav! It was featured in the little section where stars promote products they like or have made or are for their fav charity. Yay!






I LOVE LOVE LOVE Kiehls. It is my favorite product brand, thanks to Jennie who got me addicted to it. My newest favorite thing is the Tea Tree Toner. I LOVE the smell of Tea Tree oil, and it is formulated for combo skin like mine, so it has moved to the top of the list.





The other thing I recently bought is a new pair of Born shoes. Borns are hugely expensive for me, but I have 4 pairs of them because they are extremely comfortble and wonderful at work. Here is the pair I just bought yesterday:





I think they are so so cute! I have been eyeing them for about a month and just decided to go for it. I want them for our trip to Chicago in May since our hotel is at the opposite end of the city from where we will be all day, so no high heels for me on this trip. I just realized that I did not explain myself. I am going to Chicago next month with Jennie and Jack for the American Association of Museums meeting and will be on my feet all day. I have not received the shoes yet, but I should this week. Maybe I will post pics of them on my feet. Jennie has said that when I get them and she sees them she is going to have to order some too, so we will see!

Oh, and it started snowing again. Bad. Yay for Spring in Tejas!!

Let it Snow!!

So I had to stop what I was doing and blog about the weather outside. Not two days ago I was wearing short sleeves and slip on shoes with no socks, and today I woke up and it was sleeting outside. Then, about 30 minutes ago, my sister pointed out that is is SNOWING outside!! And not the wimpy, texas "snow" we get about one day a year, but huge solid flakes that are coming down really heavily. So, I went outside and took pictures and made a video. It is truly amazing. And on Wednesday it will be 70 degrees again. That is Texas for you!




This is me wearing a sleevless shirt on Thursday.








Snowing on Saturday!

Ask him to please send my dad home. Enough is enough.

You won the lottery:
Buy a house, new cars, then all the clothes and shoes and make up etc. that I want

You got invited to be on a reality TV show:
My policy on reality TV is look but don't touch. Unless maybe it was about work at the DPM, which might be fun...

You caught a friend stealing from you:
I like to talk big and say I would chew them out and never speak to them again. I might if we weren't close, but if it was someone I trusted I would just start crying.

You witnessed a murder:
CALL 911!! Then cry.

A random stranger offered you candy:
Please, I can afford my own candy. Do I look poor? Move along, stranger.

Go with it. it is just hair.

Your favorite celebrity comes to visit you:
ooooooooooooo! I love this question! I would try to act natural despite all my inner feelings of freaking out. And get LOTS of pictures.

Ode to Coheed and Cambria Parts I and II

Jessica and me talking about lovin' Coheed!

Part I


Part II
