"Hey Alyssa, what happened to your blog?" IDK I GOT A RLY GOOD JOB AND I GO TO SKOOL A LOT AND I AM TIRED.

Things have been unbelievably good lately. I couldn't be happier with my job, my home, school, and heyheyhey, I even have a man friend! I am oNe HaPpY gUrL~

Here are a few things that happened this week.

I baked Black and White Cookies, and Hazelnut-Filled Chocolate Ganache Cupcakes

I got a sweet tattoo from Dallas, in exchange for a sweet haircut

I went shopping on my break today.

My homegirls at Agent and Betsey hooked me UP!!!

I got the Katherine set. So hot!

More Sh33t

I can't wait to wear my new goodz tomorrow :)

Goodnight!

Aaaand you're just too busy...

2010-09-07T23:59:00.000-07:00

It's only my first week of simultaneously schooling/working full time, and I am already exhausted.

Thank goodness I had Monday off, for the holiday! Anna slept over, we made JMS a delicious birthday brunch of Pumpkin Pancakes and Homefries, and then went antique shopping all day! We got an amazing couch for our living room, and I scored a sweet goth princess chair for my room.

White trash?

As usual, I've been horrible about photographing things this week, so all I have are these photos of my cats. Enjoy~

I'll try to be more interesting next week!

Kittehs and Cakes

2010-08-30T00:31:00.000-07:00

This week, I got two hairless cats and baked banana split cupcakes.

School starts tomorrow!

Long Tyme, No Blog

2010-08-22T00:21:00.000-07:00

SO much has happened in the last month! Thinking back to where I was/what I was doing exactly one month ago, it's insane how different my life is today.

Here are a just a few (out of 666 million) things that have occurred in the past month.

1. I have the best job ever. I now work in sales for Alexis Bittar. We have a blog that I contribute to, so READ IT.

2. New tattoos galore. After my appointment tomorrow, I really am going to slow down with it, because I'm pretty sure my epidermis is pissed with me right now.

3. I baked and went to Lula's. SHOCKING.

4. I moved! Just for the record, I loved living with my boyz at Putnam; I still love them all to death! However, our lifestyles seemed to become more different all the time (ex. I go to bed at 9pm, they start their days at 9pm), and frankly, it was time for an upgrade in space. I am obsessed with my new apartment and neighborhood, and could not be happier with my decision!

Hauswarming and photos soon!

I'm happier, healthier, and more financially stable than I have ever been, and I honestly can't wait to start this next school year.

Weirdest Week Ever

2010-06-14T21:12:00.000-07:00

This week was been weird. Reasons why:

1. I now have three jobs. WERQ THE PAIN AWAY~

2. My hair is legitimately falling out in clumps. Help?

3. I haven't eaten any sugar, in an attempt to get healthy. No, I'm not even kidding...

The Sanest Days Are Mad

2010-06-09T21:45:00.000-07:00

I was going to make a post describing in detail my short-lived experience at Andy's Cheepees, the vintage store opportunity I started on Monday, but I think the YELP reviews pretty much say it all.

I'm not in the mood to talk shit, or make personal attacks, but Andy is a terrible business owner, not to mention petty, rude, and completely mentally insane. He and his wife own the store, and have ONE manager running the entire show. He trusts no one, so rarely hires, but if for some reason you are ever considered as I was, DO NOT WORK HERE. Your availability, promised salary, and original sales goals will suddenly be forgotten, and your responsibilities will multiply. It's crazy to me that businesses with structures (or lack thereof) as corrupt as Andy's are able to exist in the city, and I am SO happy that I will not be working for him!

SO.

Thankfully I was able get both of my jobs (that I left, to work for Andy) back immediately. That's what you get for leaving on great terms ;)

In other newz:

I made Coconut Lime Cupcakes

My cute lil baby Brad got his first tattoo! He sat like a man for almost 4 hours! We had a lovely day which involved a ginormous brunch cooked by Brad, eating too much candy for our own good, and being girls and hiding from the rain.

Snickerdoodles I made

Brad is getting all of his work done by Orrin Hurley at Daredevil, who does really amazing color photorealistic work!

NOW GO GET YOUR OWN TATTOO

The Happiest Week I Ever Had!

2010-05-27T23:42:00.000-07:00

I've had the happiest times this week that I can ever remember having!

I could have updated every day this week with tons of good news, but I had no time to blog, so now I have to cram a weeks worth of happy times into one post. I don't want to bore you, so I'm going to make a list of ten things that made this week amazing!

1. School being out for the summer! I finished all of my classes on really great notes, and not only got perfect grades, but got some fantastique recommendations from professors!

2. Riding in the trunk of a Uhaul, driving through manhattan with Dave and Ian, with Ian at the wheel

3. Having big fun and dancing until 4 am with my favorite gurls/having a goodbye heart to heart with Wendi across the platform while waiting half an hour for the L train

4. Strawberry sundaes at Lula's for dinner

5. Planning my future with Dave and Linda after taking almost everything remaining in the FIT cafeteria. We decided that if we're both 30 and still alone, we'll just have hella kids and chill like bros forever with our hella kids

6. I got my Food Stamps card! OMG free food!

7. I GOT A BED!!!!!!!!

8. The most fun days at work, ever. I love making the world more beautiful every day:)

9. Lovely times with friends, in general

10. Finishing my right arm sleeve tomorrow mornin!

Things are better than they have ever been, and I honestly couldn't be happier with my life right now. I'm stoked that certain people are out of my life; it just makes me love and value my true friends even more! I have two AMAZING job opportunities I am currently waiting to hear from...more on that later!

Let's look at some photographic evidence of this week (wish I had more, wahh).

Boston Creme Cupcakes

Curried Tempeh Mango Sandwiches

Raspberry Vanilla Cupcakes

Cowgirl Cookies! (Bringing these to my appointment tomorrow)

LOLs

GET READY FOR THE BEST SUMMER EVER ERRYBODY

Kale and My Nose

2010-05-20T20:07:00.000-07:00

Tonight I made Kale and Garlic Tahini Sauce for dinner, and took out my stupid septum piercing. I've actually had it since I was 16, but haven't worn it down in a year, so I decided it is time to take it out. For good. My mom is so happy right now...

I KNOW ITS OVAAR

All Sweets, No Sleeps

2010-05-13T20:40:00.001-07:00

I AM EXHAUSTED AND I WANT SCHOOL TO BE OVERRR.

This week was still pretty swell though, despite having bags under my eyes, a half inch of blonde roots, and hate in my heart. Here are some highlights:

I was invited last minute to bake for the Rockabilly Street Fair on 2nd Ave! It was midnight already, I was dead tired, and I had to work the next day, but I couldn't say no!

Chocolate Chip Blondies, Cherry Vanilla Cupcakes, and Elvis Cupcakes!

Some cute people showed up~

The next day, Brad and I competed in an ice cream eating contest, AND I WON!!!

TYME TO GET SOME BEAUTY SLEEP~

Look, I'm Being a Healthy Person

2010-05-06T19:34:00.000-07:00

This week has been wonderfullll.

I managed to make Chocolate Chip Cookies healthy (kind of), by making them with whole wheat flour! They were so so so good! So good that when I woke up 4 hours after baking them, they were gone?

Oh, and Black Bean, Mushroom, and Quinoa-Stuffed Peppersss!

Perfect.

LET THE BODIEZ HIT THE FLOAR

2010-05-02T21:50:00.001-07:00

Typical night in my haus. I made pumpkin pie brownies, and got pretty crafty with the chocolate chips...

Oh, and yesterday, Brad made me a beautiful sundae!

Then we snuggled and talked about boyz~.

There is a thunderstorm currently happening. I know I have 9AM class, but I want to stay up all night and watch scary movies! Maybe tomorrow night...

Hope your week is starting as wonderfully as mine!

Run run run runawayyyy

2010-05-01T11:33:00.000-07:00

I've been happier this week than I have been in the longest time!

Things are finally all working out, and I'm feeling like a pretty lucky girl!

Last night I went on a date with my dearest, Scott, and then watched Brini Maxwell at Brad's. Heehee.

Then I ran into Ian on the train, wearing A PERFECTO. dun dun dunnnn

Currently eat peanut butter panda puffs with raspberries, listening to Del Shannon, and doing my Team Development homework. Wheeeeeee!

LIFE COULD NOT POSSIBLY GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS.

Whoa whoa whoa

2010-04-23T22:03:00.000-07:00

So much has happened in the last few weeks, but I can sum it all up by saying that yeah, 19 has been the best age of my life so far :)

I've been maaaaaad busy, working 40 hours a week, schooling 22 hours, and having fun in between.

Something I have also made time to do is test recipes for my homegirl MELISSER (The Urban Housewife)'s new book, The Vegan Girl's Guide to Life. I'm soooo stoked for the book to come out; everything I've tested for it so far has been amazing. Some previews:

Twice Baked Chipotle Sweet Potatoes

MO MONEY, MO ICE CREAM...and organic fude

2010-03-21T18:58:00.000-07:00

On Friday, I started my new job as a full time makeup artist for Ricky's NYC!

I am having tons of fun so far, and I can't wait for my first paycheck in two weeks; it will be the biggest paycheck I have earned so far in my life, so that's a big deal I guess. Today was my third day working, and so far, I have met RICKY HIMSELF, Erin Fetherston, and Warren Tricome! Whoa!

After closing at work last night, I took a lovely walk in the freakishly beautiful warm weather to Lula's to tell Blythe and Luke about my new job and life problems.

It was such a busy day for them, that by the time I got there, there were only a few flavors left!

I also decided that since I'm about to be a wealthy woman and all, I would buy all-organic foods this week. Plus, now that Brad is gone, someone has to be fancy around here!

Tonight I made Farfalle with homemade tempeh sausage, which I put in Trader Joe's Organic Basil Marinara sauce.

Possibly the best meal I have eaten in months. Message me for the recipe!

Sentimental Nostalgia Cabaret and Burlesque~

2010-03-20T00:32:00.000-07:00

Tonight, my dear friend Wendi performed in an amaaaazing burlesque/cabaret show! Anna was my date :)

The lights were very low, so excuse the quality of the photos, please!

WENDI!!!!!! (Umbilica)

Girl did amaaaazing.

GOODNIGHTTTT

This Week

2010-03-18T07:51:00.000-07:00

Deep Fried Springtime Oreos

Girltime at Lula's with Evan and Brad

The Room Party

Oh by the way, I am now a full time professional makeup artist.

Huge changes are ahead, and I'm a little freaked out.
