Day 55
One of my favorite shows on NPR is This American Life. Recently, one of the producers of TAL started a spinoff series called Serial. Serial follows a story, in depth, over the course of many episodes. At first, it sounds like some long, boring drawn out thing compared to TAL, but I have been thoroughly sucked in by the first two episodes already. This first season of Serial focuses on the murder of a Baltimore high school student by her ex-boyfriend. At first glance, the case seems simple open and shut, but the reporting skills of the Serial staff bring to light the many nuances and ambiguities in this case. It's riveting to follow, but also extremely bittersweet when you consider that lives have been forever changed by things that were said and not said, by actions taken and not taken. This is exceptional storytelling and journalism at its best.
Day 54
My newest food obsession!! Buffalo chicken nuggets. They are insanely addictive; I just can't stop cooking them and eating them.

Day 53
I have a slightly strange obsession with loving all things related to cleaning. This past year I started using the Swiffer line of products and have not thought to look back once. Sunday, while doing grocery shopping, I tried out the king of all vacuums: the amazing Dyson. It was an unreal experience. I absolutely loved it!! There is nothing more empowering than fighting dirt with top of the line cleaning products. I can't wait to get my hands on one. Hopefully before the end of the year.

Day 52
Eid Mubarak!! I wasn't able to make the trip with my husband to visit my family this year, so instead we had a quiet holiday in the city. We prayed at a really cute Indonesian mosque just around the corner from our house. All the people were extremely friendly and welcoming. Plus we got to take home several yummy Indonesian goodies to munch on. Overall it ended up being a nice holiday.
