[ONLINE] LOCATION SCOUTING for DONUTS.

I have been quite the slacker this month at blogging, so many other things to do. I am coming down the home stretch of studying for the LSAT, only one more month of study time so I've been cracking down even more. Panic mode will be setting in any day now.

I ordered a donut pan this morning after seeing James' donut post yesterday and immediately took to the web to find the best recipes out there to try. Can't wait to try these.

CHAMPAGNE GIRLS LIVING ON A BEER BUDGET.

I haven't gotten the chance in the past (almost) month to thank my wonderful family and friends for a great birthday celebration. My office took me for a fun lunch out. Greg took me to my favorite restaurant, Eva, here in Salt Lake, for dinner, where I got to have my favorite Brussel sprouts and rosemary garlic fries (ahhhh so good!), followed by a small little group of us having after-dinner drinks. My parents then had us over for dinner the following night to celebrate, followed by a day at Causey Reservoir with Greg, kayaking for the last time this summer. My wonderful friends, Alexis, Maeve, Nate, and Mason threw me an amazing birthday brunch to top it all off on Sunday. I am one lucky girl. I wish we could do this every month. ;-)

Alexis and I showed up to my birthday brunch wearing the same outfit. Fashion minds think alike. Thanks to Maeve for the wonderful title of this post, I had never heard that phrase before until I was bitching the other day that every wardrobe statement that I'm on the hunt for ends up being $1,000. Why did my mother have to give me such expensive taste?
