Trying to move

Well timing couldn’t have been worse for moving day to arrive.  I woke up in agony.  My stomach was still rioting, my head was spinning, and my body couldn’t keep up with all the drama.  I tried to stand up and make my way to the living room and nearly collapsed (and by “nearly” I mean “actually”, since I did in fact collapse but the couch broke my fall). So that’s how the cable guys found me.  Sprawled out on the couch in my PJs, looking like I had just returned from an overnight rave… Read more >

More west coastin’

I just couldn’t pack it all into one post (it was getting obscene).  So now I’m trying to pick out the very best of the best to share.   Athenos hummus is G-O-O-D, good! Hummus and avocado = that’s AMORE!   NOM NOM. As for wedding and late night partying…most of those pics are too R rated for blogging 😉 Here are a few, though. The fam (L to R: youngest sis, middle sis, dad, mom, me) The girlies (above AND below).   Hooray for LA-LA-land friends!! I tried to hit up all my fave… Read more >

empty containers

I couldn’t decide on a title for this post. The real title should have been “how much chocolate and dessert food can you consume in 48 hours”…but that doesn’t really roll off the tongue. So, instead I decided to post photos of all the containers I’ve managed to polish off (as if wasting food in our move is my biggest concern). More death by chocolate (vegan) cake…aka the BEST slice of heaven on Earth.  Yuuuummmmmy!!  And this was only half way through (the original slice was about the size of a brick). And for those… Read more >

FAT tuesday

You may notice something different about the start to my day…no coffee?!?  Kyle and I were trying hard to stomach the rest of the bag of our most recent Starbucks blend (extra bold Gold Coast)…but there is a time and place for being green.  And suffering through bad coffee is NOT a compromise I’m willing to make.  We got this bag a few days ago, and neither of us have been finishing our AM java since, so what’s the point?  Instead of feeling guilty over wasted grounds, I opted for a warm cup of tea… Read more >

and the oscar goes to…

Today was a repeat of yesterday.  Kyle dragged me out of bed by 9, but it wasn’t until I smelled the coffee brewing, that I actually began to perk up.  Like yesterday, I mixed the choc/raspberry blend with the regular starbucks blend.  Unlike yesterday, today’s coffee came out way more raspberry flavored.  I guess since it’s a blend, there’s no telling which flavor will come through stronger, but I think I preferred yesterday’s.  I added a LOT of silk to it (way more than I usually do) to try to downplay the raspberry.  I also… Read more >
