The Urban Yardsale

I am passionate about finding the trends and nice things on the cheap. I love to thrift shop, online shop, and consignment shop. It's all about finding the best deals for the best price. I love it so much, that I decided to start an entire blog based on shopping tips and trends. I call it "The Urban Yardsale". Check it out!!!

Homemade Matzoball Soup

Rob and I have been sick this week, so we decided to try our hands in making our own matzoball soup. We bought a chicken, celery, carrots, onion, and matzo meal. The whole pot was homemade and we couldn't be more proud. Rob hand-rolled his matzoballs, but I made them with 2 spoons. My theory was that mine would be fluffier and he thought the same with his. Mine were oblong and looked a bit funny, while his were "prettier". Who had the best balls? I did!!!

Amateur Photoshopper

I just put Photoshop onto my computer and had myself a giggle at all the funny images I created. I'm not a pro, but I am learning some tricks. The pics are definitely random and make no sense, but I like them anyway.

Hurricane Irene

Last week was quite exciting. Not only was my bestest friend visiting for the weekend, but we had an aftershock from an earthquake in Virginia and then a hurricane scare. We even had a mandatory evacuation from our apartment, which freaked us out, so we moved all of our electronics into the closet and bathroom (in our studio apartment) and cleared everything away from the window. We then went to Rob's parent's house in Jersey where we took shelter, only to later lose power (when the city had power). Luckily for all of us, the hurricane did not hit and the city was back to normal within a day or so. The only remnants of the hurricane scare are the bottles water and non-perishable foods.
