Ok ok I did it. I washed my hair. AND shaved my legs. I hated every second of it. Especially since it’s now freezing in Colorado. Shaving your legs + goosebumps, blows ass. It’s painful. It’s like constant razor burn throughout every swipe of the razor. But I’m trying, people. I’m trying!
Guess what I decided? This weekend is going to be good. Real good. You know why? Ok, so last night I went out shopping for a Halloween costume and found this awesome black sequin, open back dress. So it’s slutty, but not really because it goes down to my knees in length. I looked through a bunch of the Halloween costumes there, you know, the dirty nurse, dirty Hogwarts, dirty firewoman, but I can’t pull that stuff off. Nor do I want to. It’s freezing, and my ass barely fits into my spandex, let alone a dress that is suppose to cover only half my ass. Imagine how that outfit would look. I’ll help you out: not good.
But before I become a slightly skankified Audrey Hepburn, I’ll be attending an awesome fundraiser. My friend Clark who owns CrossFit South Denver will be hosting a Bears for Kids Charity Competition this Saturday October 27th from 12-4pm. It’s a pretty cool fundraiser, especially since 100% of the proceeds will go to the Denver Children’s Home. And in an attempt to raise even more money for the kids, for every $10 received in donations, Clark and I will do one burpee. Once the total donations are totaled, we will compete to see who can finish the burpees first. So what I’m pretty much is saying, you should come, hang out, work out, and do burpees. Come on, you know you wanna.
Oh and remember how I said the dress went down to my knees. I lied. I just tried it on. My ass took control once again with this dress. It’s real short. Ugh.
Is it pathetic I get goosebumps every time I see the commercials for the last Twilight movie? Wait, don’t answer that.

Just dropped my son off at daycare and had to come home and get my daily JB fix. I’m so excited. I have all these ingredients, plus a slow cooker. DINNER!!!!
P.S. Your site is FANTABULOUS!!! I basically live off of it. My favourite recipe so far are the caramelized plaintain pancakes. They turn out good, EVERY SINGLE TIME!!
Thank you SO MUCH for mentioning the plantain pancakes. I had never seen that recipe but just looked them up and am so psyched to try them out. I have a SERIOUS addiction to plantains and already know, based on cooking dozens of Juli’s recipes, that these are gonna be epic!
I so love your site!! Can’t wait for the book Juli!! It’s I’d din din tonight nom nom will send pics later of my trial. Also…
Shaving “blows ass” hilarity….that is all.
N
This looks amazingggg can’t wait to try it!!
I love this site! Instead of reading the news in the morning I come here for a dose of awesomeness.
Good luck with your costume. I suck at dressing up for halloween and usually go as a Real World reality tv personality (i.e, wear my normal clothes and just tell people that).
Picture is absolutely beautiful. By the way, I just spent like half an hour on facebook this morning adding you and many others to my interests in an attempt to keep facebook from keeping me out of the know.
Love the crockpot recipes keep them coming. That 9 cup food processor is on my wish list
Delish! Will be making this 🙂 I made your sweet potato brownies the other night too and am about to polish off the last one.!
I really want to try this, but I HATE my slow-cooker. I swear it’s not me, it’s the slow-cooker! The low setting is hotter than the surface of the sun and it burns everything. A few months ago I splerged on a whole pastured chicken and cooked it in the slow-cooker, then went through the trouble of making chicken stock with the bones and stuff and it BURNED. I was so pissed… Anyway, going to try this on the stove, or maybe roast the veggies and garlic in the oven with some olive oil, then blend, then finish on the stove.
This looks amazing, thanks! Will chicken stock throw off the flavor?
no I’m sure that would still be delicious
why shave your legs if you hate it?? i haven’t shaved mine in over 2 years. yeah, my family and friends think it’s weird and make fun of me, but it beats buying razors and having cold legs. it’s like having a leg sweater all the time.
as for the armpits, i shave those every 2 months because they get itchy with too much hair.
That’s just gross. Thanks for the over-share.
Really? No need for body shaming on a healthy living blog.
Sounds like a great meal for meatless mondays!
