364 days ago, I was putting the finishing touches on my blog layout. I was nervously composing my first post, and thinking about all the things I hoped that my blog might become. I fantasized about things that seemed nearly impossible at the time, like getting 5 comments on a post, and maybe making a [...]
I think we can all agree that the gym is not the most glamourous, nor hygenic of places. My germphobic self basically has to shut off in order for me to go in, touch all the sweaty, dirty equiptment and get a decent workout in, but I can definitely handle it.
Side tangent: what I cannot [...]
I’ve often said that my personality type is somewhat of an “extroverted introvert.” I need a balance between social interaction and being a total hermit. In my early 20’s, I often found myself out a lot—if friends were doing anything, they knew I’d be there in a heartbeat. I’d continue my pattern of late nights [...]
I have a confession. I’m sleeping with someone I haven’t told you about. It’s been going on for a long time. My whole life, basically.
That, my friends, is Pink Bear. Pinky, to me.
Pink Bear was once a baby pink, fluffy bear. He was given to me by my great grandparents when I was born. We’ve [...]

The dreaded Valentine’s day week is upon us.
I have a confession to make: I freaking love Valentine’s Day. Weird? Maybe. I love the pink and red (my two favorite colors, especially together!) that spill out all over stores. I love all of the cute cards and fun stuff. I love the idea of [...]

Yesterday, I read this post and it really struck a chord with me. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, Spring is coming near and as they say, “love is in the air.” The post above (go read it—I’ll wait) made me think about my own history with saying, “I love you.”
I am [...]
While many Sacramentans I know turn their nose up at eating at such a well-known place in Midtown, I don’t care. There’s a reason this place is popular, busy and well-loved: because it’s awesome.
Located on Capitol Avenue, literally in the heart of Midtown, Paesanos has been one of my favorite restaurants in Sacramento for years. [...]
So, the wisdom teeth are out.
It was fine, all said and done. Here’s my one recommendation: don’t be awake during it. Just…don’t. Yes, I was numbed, and “relaxed” but it didn’t quite work for me. I don’t know all they did, but I do know that they pulling, the sounds, the pressure was waaayyy too [...]
2009 wasn’t a year of too much travel, but that’s okay, because the best trip, hands down would still be to Andrew’s childhood home in Springfield, Illinois. I’d been to Springfield before, for a Christmas visit, and absolutely loved it. Still, throughout the Christmas trip, Andrew and his sister kept saying, “Come back in the [...]
*I’m blogging through my school years: Preschool one & two, kindergarten, first grade and second grade can be found by clicking on each of them.*
Thinking about third grade makes me smile to this day. To a little kid, it had all the markings of a great school year. My mom and I used to go [...]
