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.

Made this over the weekend, and it turned out great with one caveat: using chicken instead of vegetable broth may have been a mistake. I feel like some of the flavors got masked by the chicken.
You are so ridiculously adorable and funny. I have this hot hot brother In law but unfortunately I stumbled upon you and your blog 1 year too late. Now he’s married to an obnoxious priss with zero sense of humor…..and she hates crossfit (gasp….the horror). Can’t wait for the cook book…… Keep up the great work.
First time using a crockpot ever! This was delicious with sausage.
This is so good! I just boiled the sweet potatoes (too hungry to wait) and then boiled everything together. I had extra shredded pork that I added to it and made it somehow even better!
This was an amazing dinner that my husband and I just made after a very cold day! It was delicious! Thank You. 🙂
Delish and super easy
I made this soup tonight and it is absolutely amazing…probably one of the best things I’ve ever cooked. I’m not much for writing reviews but in this case I couldn’t resist. The only change I made was using chicken broth instead vege broth.
This looks delicious! I’m bookmarking for future reference. I usually host Christmas at my house, and like to make it a dinner of a yummy soup and salad instead of the usual big enormous dinner. Seems like everyone is always a bit overstuffed from the holiday season by the time Christmas dinner rolls around. This soup might be the one for this year with maybe the addition of some good sausage or bacon.
Juli – this was delicious!!!! I cooked up some sweet Italian sausage and put it in the soup and it was FABULOUS! I’ll be putting this one on our website for sure! Your Easy 1..2..3.. Chicken went on our site today 🙂 . Looking forward to seeing you in CA in a few weeks! And Stacy said you might be bringing your new cookbook…
Hi! I’m a new commenter and wanted to let you know that I made this recipe last night. I just happened to have all of the ingredients, so I threw everything into the crockpot while I watched Dancing with the Stars and Castle. 🙂 Then I pureed it in my blender and it came out silky smooth. Very tasty and it has that soothing, warm quality. Thanks for the terrific recipe!
