Back In The Saddle

After a week of insanity, I am working on getting my ass in gear. A very difficult feat when it is 90 degrees outside, and you have the oven on because you decided to make a macaroni bake-Brilliant idea Sara! So brilliant, referring to yourself in the third-person is happening. Awesome. 

I am actually looking forward to the long weekend, Kyle and I have everything and nothing planned. We are going to attempt to sneak out to a movie (mostly so that I can stop crying at the spoilers every single time I go on the internet), but yard work will happen! We still have a Home Depot gift card left over, but weed-pulling, cleaning, and veggie-planting is in the near future and I am okay with that. Oh and Louie will be there, peeing on everything, like he does. Is it Friday yet?

Eats: GF Broccoli Mac & Cheese

This week's foodie post, coming to you now because I did not make this until  tonight. AND, there is about 3 bites left of this, and Kyle wolfed down the majority of it, after being a little iffy on the contents so, yay?! 

Get:

1 box gluten-free elbow noodles

Broccoli, I used 3 heads, chopped 

2 tbsp butter

2 tbsp flour

1 cup unsweetened almond milk

1 1/4 cups feta cheese 

Freshly ground black pepper

Coat a baking dish with 1 tbsp butter. Cook noodles according to the instructions on the box, and add the broccoli the last minute of cooking. Drain and set aside. Add the butter to the pot, and add the flour and milk after it melts. Stir in a cup of the feta cheese until it breaks down (it won't fully melt) and season with pepper. Add the noodles and broccoli to the cheese sauce and mix well. Place in the baking pan and sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top. Bake for 5-10 minutes. 

Things To Come

Another amazing weekend! So amazing that blogging was kinda put on the back-burn, sorry/not sorry. After a hectic week of scrambling around, I finally got a car! Don't worry, I will take pics & do a post soon. We rushed out Friday to get the car, rushed home so that we could all get ready to go to Orchid, a dance-club in Ferndale. Saturday we went downtown to John K King bookstore and just bummed around, then went for coffee at Great Lakes Coffee after. Saturday night we grilled up some food at a friend's house and watched the season finale of Doctor Who-which OMG, I CAN'T EVEN. Sunday, Stevie and I went to Motor City Comic Con, my first con ever and it was AMAZING! I took pics of pretty much everything, and my brother in-law even came over and took photos of us in our Second and Third Doctor cos-plays  which I will post pics of also! So basically, this just a post to say that there are more posts coming, how nice.

Never Wanted Your Love

 There has not been an official video release for this yet, but, I did buy She & Him vol.3 last weekend and it has gotten me through this hectic week. This song, "Never wanted your love" reminds me of my relationship with life right now (Whoa! Deep thinker!), I want ALL the things life has to offer, and it is exhausting me-my own fault. 

The entire album is pretty good in my personal opinion, I have always liked their faster-paced songs a bit more on account of Miss Deschanel not utilizing her vocal range very often, and this album has some cute ones. I do wish M. Ward would sing more, I get that he does his own thing and probably wants to be recognized for that, but still. Other than his perfect guitar playing, he is almost forgotten about on the album, but once you hear his voice sneak in, you crave more! Look, even Zooey is the focal point of the album artwork. Still, a decent album. Happy Saturday!

Must Be Bunnies!

My brother Mark works for a lawn care company, which is very fitting for him. Mark is an outdoors kinda person, has a giant beard, and is a self-proclaimed asshole. His boss is pretty much the same, from what I understand. SO, they were out cutting a lawn in the neighborhood by his bosses house one day, which is a good 20 miles away from the area they normally cut lawns. Mark was on the ridding mower, and accidentally ran over a bunny nest-but the bunnies were okay! So when they came back to mow the same lawn the next week, he put a giant bucket over the nest to prevent them from plowing it over a second time. His co-worker grabbed the bucket when they were finished, and threw it in the truck and they headed out. The next day, they found a baby bunny in the truck. 

Mark and his boss did not know what to do, first Mark called my mom and asked her to get some supplies for the bunny, but then his boss said they should take it to the vet instead. So Mark went about cutting lawns by himself while his boss took the bunny out to the vet. The vet said when they are that small, there is nothing they can do, so they typically euthanize them. My brother's boss wouldn't have it, so he took the bunny back. Left with no other options, he drove the bunny 20 miles back to the house where the nest was and put him back in with the other baby bunnies. 

Waste of time and gas? Maybe. But, they saved a bunny.

Body Art

Oh, hey there three ear-piercings! I have had all of these for years, but just last week decided to wear earrings in all of them. I have been thinking a lot about other piercings and tattoos I would like to get in the future, and I am pretty excited about it. Most people get excited about things like this when they turn 18, not me-I am always backwards. Not entirely sure, but, I think another piercing and three more tattoo's are on the agenda for myself. 

Do you like body art?
