Hello, is anybody home? I finally am and oh, how I have missed you!
I had to take a few days month or so off blogging because H.M. and I were getting situated in our new digs and it took us a while to get internet in the new apartment. To be honest, it was kind of nice for a while - I read a book or two and just felt rather productive for once. But once I found out I could start working from home in February, it didn't take long for me to sign back up for service.
Plus, I don't need people in the campus library glaring at me while I'm in hysterics because I was looking at LOL cats again, H.M. already does that at home.
Besides the usual holiday shenanigans, we finally have gotten into the groove of our new neighborhood and the things it has to offer. I'll try not to bombard you with all the nifty little gems all at once, so I'll start off with Avalon Bakery. For H.M.'s birthday this weekend, instead of getting our standard loaf of Wheaty Wheat we opted for two of their scrumptious breakfast sandwiches. Of course, because it was yesterday, I can't remember the names of either, but that means you'll just have to go check it out for yourself!
Breakfast - This is the best picture I could get - H.M. almost ate his in one foul swoop!
I also went over to Curl Up and Dye and decided I wanted to get a set of sassy lashes! I know I could have done it myself at home, but I was too nervous to do it myself because I could only imagine it ending in tears...if I didn't manage to super glue my eyes closed! I am so glad I went - I feel so pretty!
Not only is the staff there super friendly, but they have great deals, whether it's a monthly special or just for being a Wayne State Student. There was also the most adorable St. Bernard, Bandit, that I had the pleasure of meeting while I was there...too bad Adelaide is more of an "only child" cat.

For H.M.'s birthday, we then headed out to The Levi's Store where I finally managed to score myself a denim shirt (he also got some cords, I mean, it was his birthday). I've always wanted one but some of my, umm, measurements *cough*bust*cough* do not make me the best candidate for button-ups so I was super excited that it a) fit and b) was on clearaaaaance!

Now that I've brought you up to date, I should probably get back to the outline for my speech for my Communications class...it's an introduction of myself and my love for food. I can't wait to make a treat or two for some "brownie points"!
C'mon. You know you missed me.
