Pack that a$$ up

I think my carry-on bag weighed more than I do. Allow me to explain (with photos): Bar-ville, USA. No such thing as over-packing when you’re flying from the east coast to the middle of the pacific ocean…right? But then, after piling my bag with dried fruit, clifs & laras, I freaked out and worried I didn’t have enough food so then I added more. And then more. Of course, I STILL ended up buying tons more at LAX because I’m so type A, I think there’s no such thing as being TOO prepared…but I’ll get… Read more >

Grassy-ass, AMAZING Grass

Wow, Saturday went from sunny and nice to rainy and gross in a matter of seconds.  Good thing my 10K was early!  I woke up at 7 am to get ready – and it was already warm and sunny out! I knew exactly what I wanted before the race… You see, a while ago I received a HUGE box of goodies from the wonderful people at Amazing Grass (thanks Brandon)!!!

Techno-tart

I think it’s fairly obvious I’m not the most computer savvy person out there…but with the help of Sarah, Mara, and Caroline, I managed to make the much needed (and long overdue) switch to WordPress. Finally.  I have been putting it off forever, because the idea all these <?/.> things really really scare me.

Basically Thursday was… Read more >

Hungry Tiger

**I’m not sure why, but I’m having tech related issues…update your google reader feeds to  http://hungryhungryhippie.com/feed/ If you know what the title of this post means, I’m sorry.  Ha Ha. But that’s what I felt like (again) today.  I had 4 meals (not snacks, meals) AFTER dinner alone. OK, so back to the beginning… Hump day started off with an early morning wake up call.  Someone’s gotta save lives. To get me going, I went with a Trilogy Kombucha.  This is my FAVE flavor by far.  Mmmm… I had packed my lunch before, but it… Read more >
