October 29th, 2009 So, I don’t talk about it here because there are a gazillion food bloggers far more talented than I, but I really love cooking. A lot. I find it relaxing and fun, and I enjoy having yummy dinners and lunches and good food. The other reason I don’t blog it much is because I am not a recipe person. Sure, if I am baking, I will be bent over a October 29th, 2009 Thanks for the comments, emails, texts, calls and such on my rather melancholy post yesterday. We all have those bummer days, you know? Now, it’s on to bigger and better things. And even in the midst of the crap, there are my hilarious friends and co-workers, glasses of wine with my mom, hugs from my dad, and new fingerless gloves from the biggest sweetheart-knitter extraordinaire to make my days all October 28th, 2009 I am beginning to think that I’ve done something wrong. Like, not an oopsie, “forgot to pick up milk at the grocery store!” but some serious cosmic error that has resulted in life taking a huge crap on me. I wish I was kidding. Last night, I met up with my good friends, Gina and Katy for coffee. The three of us, along with two other girls, get together to October 27th, 2009 It’s absolutely freezing today for us Californians. There is a high wind advisory in effect ’til 11 pm tonight, and this morning, when I stood outside to do yard duty, I thought I might die in the windy weather. I checked my iPhone, and it said that with windchill, the temperature felt like 49 degrees, which, in my humble opinion, is FAR TOO COLD for me to be out supervising October 27th, 2009 I know that I’ve sort of become known for my little “first world” problems rants about my life, but can I just tell you about the most recent situation to really chap my hide? PENS. I am particular about my writing utensils. And by particular, I mean absolutely anal retentive. I hate ballpoint pens. I like pens that flow and write with ease. When I was in college, I was October 26th, 2009 So yesterday, we were supposed to have dinner with my family, as we often do on Sundays. Unfortunately, my dad is not feeling well. He finished round 1 of chemo, and was having some difficult side effects. My mom left me a voicemail to let me know that dinner would probably be canceled, and I’ll admit it: I cried. I realize that many people see there family less often than October 26th, 2009 This is my second time participating in the 20SB Blog Swap! This time brings a bit of an “overseas flavor” as I was paired with the lovely Elly Rarg of New Zealand! I’ve always wanted to visit there, and now, I have an even better reason. Her writing is lovely. I hope you enjoy her post here today, and don’t forget to check me out over there, either! I’m posting October 25th, 2009 I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I LOVE Anne Lamott. Seriously. She wrote this little gem for Oprah’s magazine, and I just think it’s lovely. For all of us who are figuring it out, learning, growing, changing or just hoping to do any of the above, I think this hits the nail on the head. Happy Sunday, friends. October 24th, 2009 This week, a blog/Twitter friend, Jaka, tweeted that she was reading 139 blogs and asked, “Is that normal?” I had to reply and tell her that I read over 200 blogs. I got a TON of questions about this and how I manage it. Some were impressed, and some were incredulous about how I could POSSIBLY read and interact with that many blogs. The truth is that I don’t interact October 23rd, 2009 I am so looking forward to the weekend. My first week back at work really flew by, but I am ready to sleep in with no alarm, to sit and drink coffee on my couch, see my family, read and enjoy not being at work. Oh, and go back to the dentist, because I am addicted to nitrous basically BFF with the dentist now. Here’s what I’m in love with |
