The reason...well I am not to thrilled with this blog site anymore...so I have been lacking motivation...<br />
<br />
However, I am currently working on creating a new blog :) New and improved. I have become more partial to wordpress and I would like to set up shop there. This way I will be able to use my own domain name and layout code.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned!Michelehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08970139008853217689noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4431535825416323155.post-88900588152107029942011-05-04T19:58:00.002-04:002011-05-04T19:59:21.196-04:00Worthwhile WednesdayBoy does it feel good to take a little vacation!

I SONJA SHALL SAVE WORTHWHILE WEDNESDAY! I will not let this tradition die because Michele can't take the time out of her day to make one god forsaken blog post.<br />
<br />
A little about me before I begin...<br />
I am Sonja! I am Michele's roommate. My favorite color is purple and I like ponies. Besides those facts, Michele and I are basically the same person, so basically I am the most qualified individual to complete a Worthwhile Wednesday on her behalf. So without further ado, here are things I love that you should see too, because I like things and so should you.<br />
<br />

Every holiday is really. Since Stephen and I couldn't be home with our families for Easter we decided to get together and make ourselves a big, wholesome dinner.<br />
<br />
<b>The Menu...</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>Stephen made turkey tenderloins stuffed with onions, pineapple and pesto in the crock-pot.</li>
<li>Together we made <b><a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/2009/05/asparagus-goat-cheese-and-lemon-pasta/">asparagus, goat cheese pasta</a>.</b> (It was so incredibly delicious.)</li>
<li>I made some <b><a href="http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/golden-sweet-cornbread/Detail.aspx">sweet corn bread</a></b> and <b><a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/m/1054015/207963935/b/1054015/aHR0cCUzQSUyRiUyRnJlZHZlbHZldGdpcmxzLnR5cGVwYWQuY29tJTJGZW1tYSUyRjIwMTElMkYwNCUyRmJsYWNrYmVycnktYmx1ZWJlcnJ5LWJ1Y2tsZS5odG1s">berry cobbler</a></b> (I used raspberries instead of blue berries) for dessert.</li>
</ul><br />
We agreed, it was the best dinner we ever made. We also agreed we will fare well on our own when it comes to cooking for ourselves starting August in our new apartment.<br />

Saw Blue Valentine recently. It was a sad movie, but worth watching. This song was my favorite bit in the movie.<br />

However, with training starting for my second job tomorrow and final projects still left to finish, things are still in full swing!<br />
<br />
Buttt, I love what I do and lately I've felt very accomplished. Recently finished a <a href="http://michelepassafuime.com/">portfolio</a> site, which was a huge load off my shoulders! Also enjoyed a lovely trip to Atlanta this past weekend with great friends and fun!<br />
<br />
Here is some awesome images and things that describe the past week!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Krishna food. It's quite delicious. If you are an FSU student, I highly suggest snagging a plate of this for lunch one day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-37UPe5gDslI/TZxx76qOYDI/AAAAAAAAASw/8zWA3MkksyU/s1600/Il_570xn.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-37UPe5gDslI/TZxx76qOYDI/AAAAAAAAASw/8zWA3MkksyU/s320/Il_570xn.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Asian looking elephant illustration.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A really pretty design I stumbled upon. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lK3mDuiZCO0/TZxx8mDYIxI/AAAAAAAAAS4/yk_QpzJBZ9I/s1600/pinkalicious-cover.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lK3mDuiZCO0/TZxx8mDYIxI/AAAAAAAAAS4/yk_QpzJBZ9I/s1600/pinkalicious-cover.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So I found this little doll in Walmart and I purchased it for a project. Her tag read "Pinkalicious," so I researched her a bit. Apparently she is a HUGE children's book sensation. Little girls love her and I found a plethora of youtube videos featuring little girls reading the book or acting out the story. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Basically this little girl makes pink cupcakes with her mom and eats too many of them causing her body to turn pink! She likes it for a while, but then she has more cupcakes and turns red! So to reverse the effect she eats lots of green vegetables to return to her normal self. From what I gathered, the morals of the book are love yourself for how you are and eat your green veggies.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Whenever I get a haircut, it always takes a little while for me to like it. I will like it in the salon when the hair stylist is around, then as the day carries on I incessantly play with it in front of the mirror and the thought, "Why did I do this?" always pops into my head. I got bangs again this Friday and thankfully that unsure stage only lasted about a day or two. It's official now, I enjoy them a lot. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Days like these are terrible to walk around in (I have class today), but they make nice mornings. For some reason the sound is soothing while you are laying sleepily under the covers. Here are some images that made me smile on this dreary day, perhaps they will make you smile too.<br />

We did so many lovely things and went to so many little fun places.<br />
<br />
I found a cupcake shop in Naples called Gracie's Cupcakes and Ice Cream. Each cupcake was 50 cents more than a cake at Lucy and Leo's, but I must admit it was more tasty. My mom very much enjoyed this venture.<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This week was also my 21st birthday. On the day of my birthday, Stephen and I went to Downtown Naples. The downtown area is full of fine dining, cafes, art galleries, and shopping. We didn't buy anything, but we enjoyed the beautiful weather and stopped at Adelhedidi's Organic Sweets<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">. </span></span></span>We only stopped in for coffee because we were planning on having lunch somewhere else after, but they had so many delicious looking sweets! Gelato, crepes, scones, muffins, and other pastries!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We also found an ADORABLE little tea room/lunch cafe called <a href="http://bramblestearooms.com/">Brambles</a> tucked away from the commotion of the main street. Again, we did not eat there because we were planning on lunch somewhere else, but we will definitely be coming back for lunch and tea the next time we are in Naples. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">All week my mother had been telling us about this chocolatier called <a href="http://www.normanloveconfections.com/">Norman Love Confections</a>. The Naples location isn't open yet, so we hiked a few exits down to Ft. Myers. I was amazed at how perfectly crafted these chocolates were. They didn't look like chocolate at all... they looked like colorful marbles.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

It's delicious stuff :) It will surely help me get through this week of school. Next weekend we are packing out bags and headed off to New Orleans. More adventures, crafts, and food to come! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

It came on so quickly! Stephen and I have been in Naples with my family this spring break and time always seems to fly by whenever we are here. The rest of the week will be good though because we have lots of fun things planned (like my birthday on Friday... hehe). Anywho here are some lovely images that I think are worthwhile!<br />

</div>I am super excited to finally get another craft up. I followed the tutorial on <a href="http://treyandlucy.blogspot.com/2010/03/button-earings-oh-baby.html">Trey and Lucy's</a> blog and did the project with Sammy (my sister). We had lots of fun making them and picking them out. We spent so much time in Joann's just gazing at the massive variety of buttons they had to offer... I think it took more time to pick them out than to actually make the earrings.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/--oGpNVd1pRg/TXVEHGjEwFI/AAAAAAAAAN0/LjAS0jNruJg/s1600/IMG_3777.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/--oGpNVd1pRg/TXVEHGjEwFI/AAAAAAAAAN0/LjAS0jNruJg/s320/IMG_3777.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You need to remove the little pieces on the backs of the buttons. This was hard for me because I forgot to buy the button shank remover Trey and Lucy mention in their blog. However, I managed to get them off with a pair of pliers. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My dad helped to smooth out the back with his dremel tool. This probably wouldn't have been needed if I had used the button shank remover.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This week Stephen made me a really tasty [and very healthy] lunch. It had a juicy stew consistency, and a slight BBQ sauce taste. The main components of the stew are chicken, red beans, tomatoes, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okra">okra</a>. For those of you who have only had fried okra, or never had okra at all, they are the green chili shaped things in the pot. However, they aren't hot like chili's at all! Okra is a green veggie that is VERY tasty and it very good when cooked in juices or even in a frying pan with some light butter/oil and salt. It is somewhat hard to describe the taste so you will just have to try some yourself!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The meal was so delicious that I wanted to feature Stephen's handy work!</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I just wanted to share something that I feel is good for the soul-- loose leaf tea. I love settling down at night in my jammies with a hot cup of tea and loose leaf tea has quickly become one of my favorite pleasures. It doesn't take that much longer to brew, and the flavor is much stronger than anything I've ever experienced with tea bags. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am particularly interested in <a href="http://www.teavana.com/">Teavana's</a> products. My roommate has two of their different chai flavors and with a splash of milk and some honey they are heavenly. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I would love to visit one of their tea shops to try something on the spot as well as select some canisters to take home. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
