Oh no!

We woke up this morning, excited to take a trip downtown D.C, to spend our only day of the week where we both have off from work. We were going to get some sushi for lunch, then cupcakes from one of our fav spots, Lavender Moon, in Alexandria. We were also going to go to Dupont Circle to set up appointments to get tattoo's next weekend (!!!) . We decided to take Pauls car since mine is awaiting MD registration.



Well, we were about 15 miles away from home when Paul'a car made a weird gritty noise. Then it jolted really bad. Then is stopped driving........we were on the highway going around 65 when this happened. So we pulled over, found out we dont have roadside assistance, waited an hour and a half and got towed back to Waldorf for $125. Sucks. Well, it seems we are going to be car shopping this week for a new car- even though we still have a loan on Pauls car. I dont like these things.



Anyways, we decided we needed a happy ending to the day, so I made some honeycomb candy ice cream with my new ice cream maker! AH! Exciting. Well...now time to watch some more Extreme Home Makeover- the car situation seems less horrible when you watch a show about a family, where the dad was shot in the neck in Iraq.

So excited for the day

I had no idea...

A hour later, a smile was not to be seen.

See.

No smiles.

Yay! The tow truck came...time to warm up in the truck!

Oh, and we were starving since we haden't eaten yet when we left for Alexandria! (We finally had our first meal at 4:30 pm)

There she goes...all boo-boo'ed

Yay! Sponge/Honeycomb Candy

Sweet cream ice cream with vanilla bean and honeycomb candy!

Time to go scoop some up to have while I watch the sadness.

Mixer

Well my dad's Christmas present for me finally came! He got me a Kitchenaid mixer!! I am so excited to make a million delish things with my new, beautiful mixer :D

Oh- and it matches all of the new dishes! *more excitment fills my heart* haha.

How can you deny it's beauty!? (It is the Martha Stewart edition)

on the left is an ice cream maker for it :)

Vogue!


And for the heck of it, since the mixer is in the background, my breakfast...

steel cut oats and flax with some green juice. Mmmm.
