My WIAW cherry has been popped

It's about freakin' damn time I participated in this shin-dig, otherwise known as What I Ate Wednesday!





It was created by the fabulous Jenn from Peas and Crayons, who would murder me if she knew that my daily eating habits always consist of eating a piece of chocolate or a potato chip every time I open the cabinets.

Breakfast!

I'm not really a huge breakfast person. When I wake up, I'm not that hungry..so my breakfast is usually something small. But wait..I ate this at 11:30 AM (and took the pic..yikes) because that's when I woke up..so is it breakfast? I say so. 

 Chocolate Fiber One Bar and a Red Delicious Apple

Snack-a-doodle-do

I snack ALL DAY. It's really a problem. I snacked all early afternoon on these 3 things. Not all at once, but just picked at them here and there. Le sigh. My hands will one day look like permanent scoops.

 Hershey's Cookies and Cream drops, hummus pop chips, and Skinny Cow Clusters!

Lunch

I made my favorite chili recipe on Sunday night, so leftovers it was! Literally, it's so good..and so easy to make! AND, it doesn't make you SHART. Carissa used this word the other day when we were talking and I've been trying every excuse to use it...there ya go! lol 

Oh..more snacks? Sure why not.

I asked Jenn last week if she had any salsa recipes. And oh she does. She actually posted the recipe the other day right here. It's in my fridge right now calling my name. I MADE IT! And have been snacking on it. Thanks Jenny Boo.

wow really Erica? the same looking picture for Chili and Salsa? BE MORE ORIGINAL.

Dinner

Sometimes Kurt gets into these macho man moods and is like Roar Roar I'm a big mean (150 pound) man and I want to grill. Roar Roar. So we grilled. Steak Tips.

Steak tips, my teeny baby baked potato, and roasted broccoli with Parmesan cheese. 

My plate/food remnants look like shit. Note to self, have a clean food display like Jenn.

And what day wouldn't be complete with a nice glass of wine equipped with frozen berries? Ahh...the life.

Note these pink pants were worn all day because 

I'm a sloth and didn't leave the house. #unemployed

Thank the Lord for making me remember to take pics for my first ever WIAW! Link up with Jenn! She's awesome and has delicious recipes...especially her fried balls..what?

I confess I did the Douggie amongst other things

Happy Monday!

Time to link up with my chicka, Carissa and share my deep, dark, confessions with you all :-)

I confess...I am doing the Dougie over at Shalyn's blog today. Sometimes I embarrass myself!

I confess...I wore the same outfit last Saturday as I did this Saturday. Literally..down to the shoes! I didn't plan to either. I guess either I'm a gross scumbag or I forget what I wear!

 Boston, June 18

Hershey Park, PA, June 25

I confess...I yelled at 15 year old skanky girls from my car window because I got annoyed they didn't thank me for letting them cross the street. Then they gave me mean looks and I put the pedal to the floor because I got so scared.

I confess...I went through my Facebook pics yesterday and untagged about 10 drunk eye pictures..but had to keep this one because some of the comments make me laugh

From my sister

 holy shit! wtf is going on in this picture. you must have had
more than 1 cosmo and probably only 6 glasses of water instead of 8.
(my mom "liked" this comment)

From my friend

never noticed you had that weird lazy eye  

like that guy I see outside 7-11. Keep it classy!

What do YOU have to confess?! Link up with Rissy and let us all know!

How girls surf the internet

One of my favorite Boston YouTuber's comes out with legit the BEST videos ever. I thought this video was fitting, because it described me last night.

Via Jenna Marbles site

Last night I couldn't sleep so I came onto my computer and just did my usual surfing: Perez Hilton, Facebook, Boston.com, Blogger, TMZ, ya know, the usual.

Somehow, I came across the DIVA CUP on a side bar ad and it caught my attention. Excuse my French but what the fucking fuck. I've never heard of this contraption before, but apparently its been an "innovative menstrual cup concept for over 75 years." Am I the only dummy whose never heard of this?

Anywho...it reminded me of this recent video on How Girls Surf the Internet! It's so funny and basically true because in doing my usual creep-age, I come across random stuff. Have a lookie and have a happy Friday!

Pageant mamacita!

It's midnight and I am glued to the TV watching Toddlers and Tiara's.

I just can't physically stop watching it! I am amazed at the money these people spend...amazed at the outfits...the transformation...the SPRAY TANS...and, drum roll please, the flipper. Oh..not sure what a flipper is?

Fake Teeth! What? Were you born with a perfect set of chompers?

So I'm all for pageants. I secretly wished I was born in the South and was a teenage pageant girl. I love glitzy and I love glam. However, I'm not sure about putting my kids through this misery.

I mean, my sister and I used to put makeup and dresses on my two little cousins. Wait, did I mention they were boy cousins?

Would you put your kids in pageants at such a young age? Or have any of you?! While I'd make a pretty awesome stage mom, I'll stick to letting my kid eat my lip gloss and play with my makeup.

Lazy wife in training

Sometimes I think I'd make a pretty shit-tastic wife. And I don't mean shit-tastic like FANTASTIC. I mean it as shitty!

My parents are in Charleston, SC for the week visiting family, relaxing on the beach, golfing, and all that jazz. That being said, they asked if I could stay at the house a few nights of the week to make sure everything is safe, and more so to check on my sister, who also had to stay home because of work. Oh, my dear parents...they left us this little note!

I rosed out phone numbers because some people might stalk!! ;-) But yeah we are 21 and 22 and need a little list of reminders. Shhh don't tell them Kurt was here! (sarcasm)

Anywho...back to me being a bad wife. So Kurt and I are staying at my house for a few nights and I had him bring over the laundry from our apartment because I'd rather do it in my house than in our scary basement at our apartment! We did laundry. Nope. Kurt did laundry...and I watched.

why do all basements look basement-y?!

I just didn't feel like doing it AT ALL! I was being lazy. And we cooked dinner! No, Kurt cooked. He grilled BBQ chicken, corn on the cob, baked potatoes, and fries. And I sat on our back deck with Candy the camera taking pictures.

I like to bake and cook, but only when I feel like it. I like to clean, but only if I get into a cleaning mood and want to go all OCD.

I know Kurt gets frustrated that I don't always like to help..and I can't blame him. But will I be a bad wife? I like to think I'll make up for it by being a fun wife who will dance unannounced, leave cutesy notes in his lunch, and plan fun weekend getaways.

Okay so I'll go with that!

As Usher once said, these are my confessions

I need to start this confession with this: This is the first link up I've ever done!

Woo! So yes I am linking up with Carissa for her famous and fabulous "I confess" Ready? Here we go!

I confess...I can't help but drool over construction men. Why does their sweaty, dirtiness always look so delicious?

I confess...Two little girls on the boat into Boston made me this duct tape change purse and it made me hate myself for not being creative. Even if all they did was make a duct tape change purse.

I confess...I shave my legs with Kurt's razor everytime I shave my legs. He always wonders why his razors get so dull so fast. Men's razors are better!

I confess...I backspaced and deleted a confession I just wrote because I didn't want anyone to judge me!

I confess...I buy things just because they're cute...even though I'll never need/use them ever!

I confess...Some days I'd rather hang out with my blogger friends than my real life friends..is that bad!?

What do you have to confess? Link up with Rissy! I mean, how could anyone say no to this face?


I confess I took this photo from Rissy's facebook ;)

Late night Facebook creeps

I'm a girl that likes to do experiments.

I'll purposely say something to my friends or boyfriend, and have a bet in my mind that they will say what I think they will say. And 99.9% of the time I am right.

Tuesday I left my Facebook chat open all night by accident. Usually I close my computer down for the night...but this particular night I just crawled into cuddle land and forgot to log out of my computer. I wake up the next morning to this Facebook chat message:

omg Your profiele picstur is so ucking hot. TYou r hotter and hotttr everytdme I looke aty you

TRANSLATION (I copied and pasted his jumbled message for you foo's)

Oh my God. Your profile picture is so fucking hot. You are hotter and hotter everytime I look at you

 (my profile pic...yes men...this clearly says I am inviting you in between my legs....wait, does it??)

I just cracked up laughing. First of all, the message was sent at 3:23 AM. On a Tuesday. He was clearly drunk (or sleepy and couldn't type.) Second of all, I had one or two classes with this kid and talked to him just a few times at a party. Like, sorry buddy we aren't destined to be together via Facebook chat.

So after that, I wanted to experiment to see if I would get any late night messages anymore. So I left chat open and I did! From like, random dudes I knew from college and high school. What are they thinking? Do they think that if they see me on Facebook chat at 4 AM that it's okay to start dirty talking and creeping? I mean, I know I am seductively irresistible, but come on. (kidding, folks)

Have you ever encountered a late night creep?

That time I wore my boyfriends underwear on my blog...

I was folding laundry yesterday and folded 22 pairs of Kurt's boxers and only 13 pairs of my undies.

Stop. I know what you're thinking...

A- Erica doesn't change her undies everyday (BUT SHE DOES) or

B- Kurt wipes his ass with his own boxers instead of with TP which is why he has so many dirty ones

Wrong! See, my boyfriend likes to take 2-3 showers a day. I have no idea why. During the week, he showers in the morning and then again at night. On weekends sometimes it's 3 times. I can't complain, because I'd rather him be squeaky clean than be a dirty mother effer. I can't help but wonder what's making him so dirty being a techy geek nerd all day.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't wear his boxers as shorts though. Come on, I'm sure we've all done it...they're comfy! And of course I wear the clean ones...not ones he has already worn...icky shweatty ballz.

I thought I'd give you guys a sneak peak. Boxers are so damn cute! Shh don't tell Kurt.

Rainforest Cafe Boxers! They glow in the dark. Kinky, no?

I just think these are so cute. They have Pickles holding Beer mugs?

Shhhhh..I am sappy. I bought my boyfriend boxers with I <3 Erica on them. Ready, set, JUDGE!

I'd much rather be like a guy and wear boxers everyday than tight tiny thongs that ride my ass. I just can't argue with comfort! But for now I will stick to my cute sexy undies from victoria's secret!

SPEAKING OF Victoria's Secret, I am guest posting today over at Carissa's blog, Carissa Explains it All. Check it out! There is a small underwear reference :-) If you haven't checked out her blog yet, you must!

Death by cupcakes from Jenni

I just want to thank everyone for their support on my post the other day when I was being a little Debbie Downer! I love you all SOO much! :-)

Okay...on to more delicious things. Like these...

A few months ago I saw this recipe from Jenni at Story of My Life and literally just mouth-gasmed. They looked and sounded AH-MAZING! I just had to try. So I did, and they came out absolutely delicious! Jenni, you da bomb.com.

Oh and if you want the delish recipe, check out her post! Now go make them!

Oh...and I need some advice. Remember that time I told you guys I didn't put sunblock on and got a nasty sunburn because I'm stupid? Well now my legs look like I am going through one of those chemical peels where you have your skin peeled off to get more "fresh and clean" looking. I am not supporting this peel (or paying hundreds of bones for it) HA! That's the first time I used the term bones to mean dolla dolla bills...thanks to Ashley who got me loving the word!

But yeah...I have been lotioning my legs like 5 times a day and they are still peeling a bit. WAH! Help!

k byeeeee!

Life, it'll getcha..and now I'm stuck

Warning: My life is not always cotton candy, lil wayne, fuzzy puppies and rainbows.

Lately, I've been feeling like this

And all I want to do is this

I know I can't complain too much about my life. It could be a lot worse. But I feel like everyone goes through rough times at one point in time, right!?

So, bloggy-world, I'm feeling stuck. Stuck as in, I don't know where to go from here! I was laid off from my job and have no real responsibilities anymore...so what am I doing here? I'm 22 and am having crazy thoughts of moving away for a year or two just to experience a different lifestyle. I can't think of a more relaxing thing to do than move to Savannah, Georgia or Charleston, South Carolina and find a low-key job where I can work part time and write a book on the beach on my time off.

Does that make me ca-raaazy?!

It's nice to dream about stuff like this, but as I sit here on my couch watching DVR'd episodes of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, I can't help but think, "what the eff is stopping me from doing this?!"

So I made my first step towards this hopeful life. I applied to three jobs in California, one job in Indiana, and one job in Virginia. As I hit submit, a sense of excitement came over me. A million questions popped up in my head. What if I get an interview? Where would I live? And...drum roll...do any of my blog friends live nearby? ;-)

I want to feel accomplished in life again...feel as if I am doing something worthwhile.

DEMON EYES

So my friends, any advice?! Have you ever been put in a situation like this where you want to drop everything and experience something new? How do I get out of this funk-a-roo!

Beachy Friday Bishhes

By the time you read this, I will be sprawled out on the beach like this:

With my hat in the exact location because dis girl does not handle a sunburn on the face very well! And laying on my back because, yes my friends, that is my cheeky bikini I talked about a month ago. And the beach I go to has a lot of ghetto, pre-teen, "i'm 13 and drinking" kids and their wandering eyes can't handle my badonk.

And with my 10$ beach chair from Target and my 9$ beach towel also from Target, that says "Mermaid in Training."

And with my Kindle.

Happy Friday!
