Home Alone

Well, not entirely. Both of my parents and sister are soaking up the sun on the Jersey shore (the location of her current dance competition) while my brother and I are home working, he's watching kids all day at a summer camp and I'm in a NYC office writing about models. My grandmother's been making sure that we're eating well and not wrecking the house in the process ;).
Oh and they took my puppy, Colby (pictured above) with them. My other one, Sable, is still home because she's far too wild to be trusted. Poor thing, she's probably really lonely today. I'm looking forward to getting home and taking her for a well-deserved walk.
Not to mention that I'm sure I'll be eating well tonight :). The grandma who's helping "take care of us" is that health-nut one I've told you all about. My brother isn't so keen on green things or nutritious things for that matter, so he's been eating some vegetable chili that my mom prepared before she left.I, on the otherhand, have completely been enjoying eating as well as she does. Last night we split a large salad complete with mixed lettuces, peppers, celery, radishes, sprouts, and lima beans alongside a generous serving of spiced brown rice. It was delicious... my brother has no idea what he's missing ;).Speaking of work... I've got to get back to it, or else by the time I make it home the sun will be setting! If you need a quick distraction, however, feel free to gawk at these adorable model pups. And while we're on the subject, do you consider yourself a cat or a dog person? I personally think dogs can be more fun, plus, I'm allergic to kitties :(.

Your grandma's salad looks really good! I'm definitely a dog person - like you I'm allergic to cats AND the puppers are more fun to play with!

Holla to healthy Granny! Love it! Have I told you yet that I'm so jealous you get to write about models and be near such fabulosity? I'd have such an inner stuggle of wanting to write about them, yet wanting to be them, lol! Enjoy the semi-alone home and quiet!

you are so lucky that your gramdma is a healthnut, mine are both the type of people who love to ry everything in loads of oil and base their meals on loads of rice - no so healthy, lol

I am definitely a dog person - no doubt about it!

I used to model in NYC just a year or two ago... so what are you writing about? I could give you lots of material to write about!

P.S, I meant to tell you at the blog dinner that I think you look a lot like Catherine Zeta-Jones!

Dude, lima beans do NOT get enough play - my parents have a secret recipe that's totally comfort food that I remember from growing up. :)

Jenny: Ha, I agree. Don't tell them though ;)

K from ksgoodeats: Agreed!

snackface: Ha, aw, I think that's just about everyone. Thanks for the support!

sweetandfit:Oh well, my grandparents on my father's side make up for it, don't you worry ;) yum, yum, yum.

Marina: Oh really, thats awesome, I hope! I'm actually interning with Modelinia but if we ever need the point of view from a former model I'll be sure to let you know.

P.S. Aw, thanks so much!

livinghealthyintherealworld: Yes I am actually. What I love about the site is that even though we cover the superficial modeling world, fashion and beauty (which is interesting but still) we also work with a lot of models on their charities and green/healthy lifestyle tips.

Diana: Ooh yum, I hope you share one day!
