Chad (the boy)

The great news about having a celebrity crush on Chad is that he always gives you something to talk about...
Check out his little cereal mix up story, here.  I have to admit, it made me laugh!

Santa Fe Faves?

Here’s to hoping the next two weeks fly by. The live in and I have a lovely little getaway planned to Santa Fe that I absolutely can’t wait for.

We also added an extra night to the beginning of our trip to catch Albuquerque’s famous balloon fiesta! (How nerdy, I know.) Which, the live in was a really good sport about – considering we’re missing an Oregon State Football game. But, to be perfectly honest, it was a surprisingly easy conversation to have with him and it took about 15 minutes of him “thinking about it” before he was just as excited as I was. So there you go live in fans. I did not stifle his football season fun by force. He agreed. On his own free will. That’s the power of a good vacation I guess.

Have you been to Santa Fe? Email/comment me with your faves!

WWTBCD?

This post isn’t really funny. It’s not even that interesting. I just wanted to give a shout out to my girl, The Barefoot Contessa.

On Friday night the live in and I hosted a dinner party.

In true Troy & Erica form we waited until the last minute to pick up the main ingredient for our dinner. The live in and I only know of one place to buy this item and when the live in stopped in on Friday afternoon they were sold out. Major bummer and major problem.

Instead of panicking or turning our frustration into road rage we remained calm and asked…WWTBCD?

Well, we thought, she would pull out her favorite bottle of wine and send Jeffrey to get Thai takeout. And so that’s what we did. Except I sent the live in. Not Jeffrey.

And everyone ate in happiness.
