This weekend was a reminder of why Kyle and I moved back to the West Coast. No offense NYC, but when it comes to the weather and the social scene, California is where the party’s at! I may be well out of college, but that doesn’t mean I’m an old fart (yet). This weekend I was drawn to keg parties and tailgates like a moth to a flame. I don’t mind a seedy bar once in a while either. But before I get to the brew-fueled festivities, let me back up to Friday. You like… Read more >

My last two days in Lynden were borderline horrible. Friday’s migraine sidelined me like a shot to the liver. The worst is when you know it’s coming…and (unfortunately) I’m very familiar with the onset of migraines. I used to get them all the time in high school – and I mean the whole she-bang – aura, nausea, pounding head. So yeah, the I second the halo appeared, I knew I was in for it. What I didn’t count on was being out for so long! Bummer. Thank you all for your advice and kind words…. Read more >

There won’t be many pictures in this post because I was in the sun ALL. DAY. LONG. I can’t get over it. I took 4,601,546 pictures of cherry blossoms and dogwoods today. Literally. My computer nearly exploded with all the megabytes I tried to upload from my camera. Did I just use a techie term? Why yes I did. There’s hope yet. Anyways, here’s how I started the day – whole wheat sando thin with Justin’s maple almond butter and banana slices (along with unpictured javahhhh). I had a bushel of apples while taking the city… Read more >

I won’t burst into Annie’s theme song, but it’s definitely a relief to see the sun again. Caffeine + froth = a hop in my step Oddly enough, I started feeling iffy again half way through this HUGE mug, so I curbed the coffee and set my sights on the next meal. I guess meal isn’t the right word, but apples need no justification. Blogging and random dilly-dallying (cooking, emailing, erranding, etc.) around the apartment took up the majority of my morning, and pretty soon noon rolled around and I needed sustenance. I added the… Read more >

Top of the morning! I finally woke up today feeling like my normal self. Stomach woes be gone. Thanks for all your well-wishes throughout my sick days week. Even though I woke up at 8, I decided to go back to bed because extra zzzzz’s are invaluable when I’m in recovery mode. Plus, the apartment was cold, our internet connection was down, and the warm down comforter was calling my name. Excuses, excuses. Needless to say, I was ready to get my brunch on when I finally did get up. Enter Justin’s maple almond butter. … Read more >
