A fat girls sanctuary.

In celebration of finishing all my horrific exams and the beginning of a wonderous Christmas break my father took me out to dinner, my choice. So naturally I chose the new 50's themed diner full of poodle skirts and a giant screen playing Howdy Doody - I think my 50's fascination goes back to my middle school obsession with ANYTHING and EVERYTHING I Love Lucy. No joke. It was on the verge of freakish and thankfully I grew out of it (somewhat.) I had the posters, lunch box, barbie, and even forced my mother to take me to the I Love Lucy exhibit in Universal Studios California...it was that important to me. Back to the diner! Below are pictures of the dessert area as well as my meal.

This was the maple syrup waffles which were available among a variety of waffles, crepes, pancakes, and french toast.

and THIS is what hooked me immediately. They force you to walk by this display of decadence before you even sit down...they know me too well.

the cutiest cupcakes imaginable..they remind me of the most beautiful cupcakes sold at another diner near my sisters apartment called Bright Spot in California.

The beautiful cake display where my father couldn't resist a slice of carrot cake. I think my tummy takes after his.

 

If you aren't considering opening your own bakery after looking at these pictures then you my friend are an unusual breed and someone I'm not so sure I want to associate myself with. :)

Liz Lemon is my idol.

If you know me at all you know I am highly addicted to Netflix to the point that i'm pretty sure it is partially responsible for my recent visit to the eye doctor...I just now put that correlation together. oops.
Anywhom...anywho? Anyways, lately my addiction has been 30 Rock and I cannot get enough of it. I am on season four and just realizing what an unhealthy mix of Liz Lemon and Jenna Maroney I have become.

Examples:
Liz Lemon's love of cheese and pretty much all food really.
Jenna Maroney's hit song "Muffin Top" (yeah, terrifyingly similar.)

I would continue the list but as I think about it, the rest of the similarities are much too embarrassing...

So, I will leave this blog with a link to the far too short song "Muffin Top"
