T-t-t-acos!

And another weekend has come and gone. I went out Friday night and it was pretty fun, but damn some people can really get on my nerves. Saturday I was so lazy that I never changed out of my pajamas. I went to Brooklyn Bagel and Whole Foods in my pajamas. I also never showered, listened to music on my computer for hours, and watched at least three episodes of Pretty Little Liars. Sorry I'm not sorry. So I feel like I used to post more recipes here, but haven't lately. Truthfully, I haven't been cooking a lot, and when I do it's something lame. I kind of lose my appetite in the winter so I just eat whatever. It's nothing anyone would find very good. However, I was inspired to make something good last night and decided to make this! I left out the lime juice and added in some hot sauce instead. That's typical of me, but you can do whatever you want. I also used fresh tilapia instead of frozen. They were really good and pretty too!


If you don't like fish you could swap it out for chicken or beef. It's finally really cold here, which I don't really mind. It was only 28 this morning (supposedly felt like 14 with the wind chill), but I ran eight miles up into Glover Park and back. It was great! (I'm sure you're thinking wow, what a crazy moron, but I saw at least six other runners so I'm not alone). Also got a massage after that, which was much needed. I am really sore lately. I guess I am getting old! AARP here I come.

And finally, shout out to Sheena for recommending Blind Pilot and The Avett Brothers. I am now OBSESSED with Blind Pilot. Check out New York, Half Moon, and One Red Thread by BP.

Uninspired

I have not been busy at all lately. Honestly, I've been laying low and staying home more than usual so I've had time to write, but I'm uninspired with what to write. The thing is I don't have as much to write lately because I am content. I think I could write the best posts when I am angry or sad, which probably makes sense. I used to be really angry and sad so I wrote a lot more. Now, not so much! That's good for me, but bad for this blog. Of course I get angry or sad sometimes, but it's usually fleeting and I usually just tweet it!

Anyhow, here are some things I want to mention. I recently got hooked on the show Pretty Little Liars on ABC Family and I am obsessed so I spent most of the past week at home, and watched all of season one of that show. (Cue loser trombones)! Also, I am so over my piece of crap Dell, or was so I went out and bought a MacBook Pro, which I love. I'm getting the hang of using it and I love all the features. I also finally opened a Spotify account. Essentially I am working, working out, watching Pretty Little Liars, and listening to music! I have a lot going on starting this weekend through the end of March though, so this time spent with myself is much needed. And this is random, but it got me thinking about songs that I'll never get sick of. A song that has so much meaning to your life, or takes you back to an exact moment. I started a list about a month ago of songs like that and I just finished it...
