Tuesday Tune Up: Back from Baahston

Tuesday, January 29, 2013

Hi everyone! I'm back from Baahston...ehhh Boston.

It is currently midnight, exactly, and I just submitted my discussion questions and quiz that were do due...at midnight tonight! I am so studious :)

Since I am already awake (and delirious)...and watching Teen Mom (don't judge) I figured I would write my post. I might be a zombie tomorrow at work, but watching Teen Mom writing a post for y'all is totally worth it!

It has been a longgg day of traveling. I didn't even make it home. Stopped at the in-laws to pick up the fubabies and never left. I need a day after vacation to recoup from vacation. That should be a law. Who agrees?!

Okay, since it is late, and I have misspelled every other word I have typed (true story), I am just leaving you with pictures of my outfits, no descriptions. Boo, I know. If you have questions on where something is from you can leave me a comment and I will be sure to answer! Also, I will try to come back and update this post at a later date when I am not drunk off Southwest Airlines peanuts and the lack of oxygen at 36,000 feet.

Off to bed for a quick nap before I have to wake up for work! 

Happy Tuesday!

Weekend Update: I'm still in Boston!

Monday, January 28, 2013


I'm still in Boston! I am headed back to the Lone Star State this afternoon, while Chris gets to continue on to South Carolina for a "conference"...aka bonus vacation! Not fair.

Boston has been nothing short of ah-mazing. Much like our honeymoon, we ate and ate and ate and ate. Sorry if you are from Boston, but the whole time I was here I was comparing it to NYC...my all-time favorite city.

What I gathered was: 
- Boston is cleaner/doesn't smell as bad
- Friendly people are all over Boston....NYC not so much
- Boston is wayyyy smaller
- I still like NYC better, sorry. Not that I don't love Boston, I just really love NYC.

I will have a (few) recap posts later this week, but for now I will leave you with this view from our hotel and a picture of Chris and I when we were "defrosting!" Notice in the picture above, do you see the "Finish Line" across the road? That is the finish line for the Boston Marathon. Pretty cool! 

So sad to be leaving, but we will be back, Bean Town!

Helllllloooo Boston + Insta Friday

Thursday, January 24, 2013

By the time you read this I - along with my Mister - will be flying high on our way to Boston. Woo hoo!

I give it approximately .125 seconds, once we are there, that someone comments on my southern twang. It has happened every.single.time. I am in the northeast. " Ummm, 'cuse me sir, tryin' to get to my bag. Thanks!" or "Do y'all know where I could find ___?" Dead giveaway.

You can take the girl outta Texas, but you can't take the Texas outta the girl :)

Right now I am sitting on the bed watching Chris try to pack. Have you ever watched an engineer pack a suitcase? Ha! It is a site. Everything has a place and the organization is unbelievable. Props to the hubs for his OCD packing skillzzz.

Now for some insta's from my week. 


Chris put milk in the cereal and ate his cereal from the bag. Oh geez. After proclaiming that I live with a grown child on IG (@sarahtuckerup), Amber was quick to correct me. She was right, he was just trying to not dirty any dishes. What a smart man I married!


Can I start by saying that Maddie is the BEST?! See the box above?! She sent me a FULL box of clothes that she didn't want!! Since I can't shop this year (which is an easy resolution when you have bloggy-friends like this!) Maddie told me she would send me some clothes, and I accepted since that wasn't breaking my resolution rules! Thanks, again, Maddie!!

I would show you what was in the box, but you will find out soon enough :)


I had my first attempt at spaghetti squash this week. I cooked it correctly, but I am not sure how to season it. It was okay, but isn't my favorite. I need some tips on how to make it yummy, please! 

I added a tad bit of butter, garlic powder, pepper, and Parmesan cheese...don't make fun of my lack in spaghetti squash seasoning knowledge.


Wednesday night I whipped up some meatloaf (recipe here), asparagus, and alfredo mac and cheese. The mac and cheese created quite a delicious stir on IG. Recipe in the picture below ;)


YUM

Well, I sure hope everyone has a glorious weekend! I will be eating my weight in clam chowder and desserts in Boston. Calories don't count on vacation, right?!

What are you doing this weekend? If you are in Boston, just look for the girl bundled up like it is -100 with a heavy southern accent!

Linking up with From My Grey Desk and Life Rearranged!
