How will I fit it all in one post?

Well, I’m going to. My trip home has been amazing.  I have been lucky enough to spend time with my ENTIRE family, as well as try on wedding dresses, run a half marathon, and enjoy some pretty awesome meals, too!! This is the best of the very best, in recap form. On Thursday, we went for lunch at our wedding venue.  Dad’s Dungeness Crab Melt with chunks of Dungeness crab topped with fresh tomato, avocado and melted dill havarti cheese on an English muffin. Mom’s Gale Ranch salad with organic mixed greens, Fuji apples, Brie… Read more >

I swoon for the swoosh

Being a hippie I hate to admit to loving something as corporate as Nike.  But seriously, sometimes I see the Nike logo, and can’t help but tingle all over, especially when it is race weekend and the message is female empowerment. [run like a girl photo] Makes my heart go pitter patter. On Friday I went into the city for some fun (to pick up my race day packet, bib number, and get some pampering).  Hello, freebies!!!  Smoothies, manicures, pedicures, massages, not to mention the samples from Kashi, Luna, Safeway, Ghirardelli, Say Yes to Carrots,… Read more >

C to the A

Heyoooo from the sunny(ish) state of California.  Yes, I am finally home after a painful flight home.  I gave the flight attendants quite a scare with my near-fainting.  They kept saying how pale I looked, and I kept telling them that was my baseline color, but I felt SOOO miserable, I don’t think I was too persuasive.  Either way, I slept through the first half of the crack of dawn flight (which was my goal), but woke up around 10 am feeling like I was going to spew my guts.  Lovely, no?  I thought maybe… Read more >

Home sweet home

I am back in CA!  YEAH!!  But before I get to the fun I’m am having on the West Coast, I will quickly recap my few days leading up to coming here. I worked on Tuesday, so I made sure to get to bed early before midnight on Monday night (I don’t like yawning through codes thankyouverymuch).  So, as I was dozing off Monday night, my phone rang so loud and abruptly, I bolted upright nearly shocking myself into SVT (cardiac talk, no worries).  Who the eff would text me past midnight??  By now, my… Read more >

Is there an app for that?

I don’t have an iPhone, but if I did, I know I would be obsessed with all those fun little apps.  If only there were one that could help me decide what I wanna eat!  Sometimes I can’t for the life of me figure out what I’m in the mood for. Do you ever have this problem?  This morning I stared into the fridge for a solid 5 minutes, then went to the pantry, then back to the fridge again…and I still came up with NADA.  I didn’t feel like anything sweet or savory, and… Read more >
