{Vanilla, Pear, and Vodka Cocktail}

Doesn't this drink look refreshing?? Over the weekend, while in New York, my sister made me a pear martini that was to die for (I ended up having several). When I got back to the office on Tuesday, one of our clients sent us a box full of delicious Harry & David pears. And then when I went to Pinterest last night, one of the first pins I saw was this recipe for a Vanilla, Pear, and Vodka Cocktail. So as confirmations usually come in three's - I would say that the stars have aligned for me to make and indulge in this drink this weekend. I've got the vodka - check. I've got the pears - check. Now all I need are some vanilla beans which I'll get tomorrow, and viola. Mmmmm....can't wait!

And just for kicks - here's another recipe I found - amazeballs, right??? This is definitely in the queue...and of course I'll have to Weight Watcher-ize it (as in low fat cheeses, 2% milk (I just can't do skim), turkey sausage, and wheat pizza dough) and then figure out how many points+ it will be... it will be worth the work!

{Hello - My Name is Jessica and I'm Addicted to Pinterest}

Pinterest is 1. a virtual pinboard, 2. an inspirational board comprised of collections of favorite inspiration in the form of photos and imagery, and 3. a place to waste a lot of time (lol) - and I'm addicted. You know how you used to cut/tear pictures out of a magazine when you liked an idea? Or kept a mental list of places you wanted to visit? Well now Pinterest allows you to digitally capture any and everything that inspires you. Below are a few (out of the personal 1,000+ I've pinned) pins that I'm loving lately:

1. I love this Burberry coat and feel that it would be the BEST birthday present to myself if it wasn't so darn expensive...(pic be found on my 'Get Into My Closet' board)

2. I think these paper lanterns are amazing - and if I ever get married, they will definitely be used at the reception as our sendoff... (pic can be found on my 'Someday My Prince Will Come' board)

3. I believe this quote to the core - life is art... (pic can be found on my 'Word' board)

4. Roasted corn and goat cheese salad recipe....yummm... (pic and recipe can be found on my 'I'm a Foodie' board)

5. This is my dream car...so vintage and classy...(pic can be found on my 'Vintage Obsession' board)

6. There is something about this bathroom that I absolutely love - the tile, the mirror, the sinks....(pic can be found on my 'Rollin With the Home-ies' board)
