I am trying to find them on stubhub, ebay, etc. however they are just a tad more than what I would like to pay. I would even take any suggestions about any college games I could go to with in a decent driving area from northeast PA. Any one that has any connections (wink wink) anywhere, it would be greatly appreciated.<br /><br />Keep me posted ladies :)Old Friends and New Shoeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16526804471978113106noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168639805823774418.post-10264829381943530932009-02-01T15:00:00.002-05:002009-02-01T15:50:48.685-05:00I will now attempt...<div style="text-align: left;">... to make buffalo chicken dip on my own (enter dramatic echo man voice). To those of you who are not kitchen-ly challenged like myself this may sound like an easy task, but this is big. Baking... I am your girl- Cooking food that does not contain icing or whipped topping is a little tough for Miss Maya. First of all the recipe called for chicken out of a can. EWE. So I had to upgrade to a rotisserie chicken. Anything has to taste better than chicken out of a can. Really the recipe is not that tough but I always seem to mess something up. Being that I live in Pennsylvania and the Steelers are in the Super Bowl I should be routing for them, but I secretly would love the under dogs to win(Go Cardinals!). AND thank goodness boyfriends Eagles didn't get in the big bowl b/c we all know how intense today would be rather than kicked back and relaxed. WHEW!<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Last weekend was absolutely wonderful.

How fun right? So this is where you come in. I peruuuuuused the internet a tad and couldn't find very much and thought you girls would be the perfect ones to ask. Now... I'm looking for the preppy flamingo not the tacky flamingo (I hope all of us know the differene). The main thing I'm looking for right now is the fabric shower curtain. I like them better than the vinyl. I hope to show a before and after shot of our bathroom when it is complete. Moving into the apartment, J (roomate) had the bathroom Zebra. EEK! I'm not a big fan so I'm glad we came to a compromise. So I hope to hear from you girls about any suggestions you may have!!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.thepinkflamingo.com/media/aspX033-Flamingo-big.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.thepinkflamingo.com/media/aspX033-Flamingo-big.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Old Friends and New Shoeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16526804471978113106noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168639805823774418.post-19617568267650376212009-01-24T12:35:00.003-05:002009-01-24T12:45:17.871-05:00We have a winner!So sorry for the delay however I have been out of touch with the cyber world.

It is much better to be home when it is snowing rather than at work just worrying about driving home. I took all of the Christmas decor down while watching Bromance on MTV. I know, I know....the show sucks, but I had to learn for myself. I also have a new flat screen TV Santa delivered so pretty much everything looks good, including Brody Jenner. While I was snowed in I also watched Hairspray and The Devil Wears Prada, 2 fabulous movies. Any other day I would have felt guilty about staying home watching movies but the snow offers a stellar excuse to be a lazy daisy.<br /><br />So I know I am very delayed, but I wanted to share with you my favorite Christmas gift from the rents. It's from the American Living collection at JCPenny's. Since I was able to create a whole new room in my new apartment I thought I would go for a nautical/american feel. I love it... the pic is very small but it is similar to the Vera Bradley Seaport pattern. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcE3U8OMezrZZ6lslUtZVeilG5Rv2Dg-Ve5myqglJHSlpGRs2mPbMtVi6e-pIeQEaUlVGcmRyuvbe2-AXLKUY9ayjYZU-_VKRWno6rDHEn_8L8K5riQGIfKxE0lEMLZko4l8unfu7Mv7c/s1600-h/bed.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289871064894620610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 216px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 216px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcE3U8OMezrZZ6lslUtZVeilG5Rv2Dg-Ve5myqglJHSlpGRs2mPbMtVi6e-pIeQEaUlVGcmRyuvbe2-AXLKUY9ayjYZU-_VKRWno6rDHEn_8L8K5riQGIfKxE0lEMLZko4l8unfu7Mv7c/s400/bed.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Speaking of Vera Bradley, I just ordered the Vera Bradley Bucket Totes from <a href="http://brownsonfifth.com">Browns On Fifth</a>. They are BUY ONE GET ONE FREE!! But you have to call them to order and just let them know you received the email (you can fib they will never know) There is no code that you have to give them ...just your order! I ordered 4! Frankley Scarlet for me(monogrammed of course), and 3 others and gifts in Mediterranean Blue and White. I can't wait to get them! I'll be sure to show you!!<br /><br />And tomorrow will bring the EAGLES :) and Giants :( game! I am very excited. Not excited to watch b/c really I fake watching football. I know when there is a touchdown, I know when to cheer, I know when not to say anything. Everything else........... I fake. Those flags.... no clue. The ref...........don't understand him. I do finally understand what "1st down and 10"" for example means, that took awhile. All in all, football days are days to look really cute in football gear, a hat, maybe my ugg boots or sneakers and a sweatshirt. <br /><br />So girls, whomever your team may be tomorrow..... look cute!Old Friends and New Shoeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16526804471978113106noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168639805823774418.post-88072940935648489092009-01-08T20:17:00.002-05:002009-01-08T20:29:41.518-05:00Holy Moses I'm BackHello my friends!

As some of you may know the northeast region was hit with a surprise storm we weren't quite ready for on Monday night. So in turn, I was powerless, as in I HAD NO POWER AT ALL. For two days. Let me tell you... you tend to take things for granted. Let's start with flushing, yup that's right I couldn't do it. Nor was I able to shower (electric pump, it sucks). We had no heat and it was freagin' cold. Hmmm, I made an over easy egg on a sterno, which was surprisingly ok. I obviously was unable to go to work. My phone died, so while the driveway was being plowed (yes plowed before halloween... CRAZY!) I was sitting in my car charging it. I mean I could have gone inside after plugging my phone in the car, but the house was boring, dark and cold so the car was a step up!!! So after two very long days of living little house on the prairie style the power came back Wednesday night. HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! Oh yeah I was doing the running man!! So girls, moral of the story is.... be happy you can flush! <br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.spirithalloween.com/images/spirit/products/processed/00513630.zoom.a.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 380px; height: 480px;" src="http://www.spirithalloween.com/images/spirit/products/processed/00513630.zoom.a.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Hope everyone has had a wonderful Halloween!! I am going to a party tomorrow and will hopefully have fabulous pics. I am going to be Mrs. Claus (with a much more fabulous outfit of course)! And as much as I would like to say boyfriend is dressing up as Santa I was only able to get him to wear a Santa hat, but I'll take it b/c he's not a big fan of the holiday!! Enjoy these cute wonderfully witchy shoes!Old Friends and New Shoeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16526804471978113106noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168639805823774418.post-39317240069370481102008-10-21T21:19:00.004-04:002008-10-25T12:02:18.603-04:00Four!I have been tagged by <a href="http://southernstuf.blogspot.com/">A Southern Accent</a>!
