Happy holidays everyone! It’s Christmas up in here 🙂 I’m working on the 25th, so Santa was nice and obliging and came early this year (this post is from the 21st). To celebrate as a family, we all went to dinner in the city. In spite of the gross weather, we headed into San Francisco early to browse the Ferry Building, check out the tree (in Union Square) and grab some drinks at the famous Harry Denton’s Starlight Room. Views of the Ferry Building… Making our way to Union Square… SF love After soaking… Read more >

In honor of Kyle making it through finals without losing his marbles finishing the quarter, we decided to take a weekend getaway together. Neither of us had ever been to Palm Springs before so it seemed like a nice destination. I really didn’t do too much research before heading to the desert, but I’m a very simple girl. On vacation, all I need to be happy is sunshine, Starbucks, and sleep. Ok, good food, too. Check. Check. And check. We arrived Friday evening and checked into our hotel before strolling the downtown area. Thanks to… Read more >

It’s 9/29! You didn’t think I’d forget National Coffee Day did you!?!? Not a chance. I’m a tad behind in blogging because I’ve been playing catch-up around the casa. I’ve been productive, but I hardly deserve a pat on the back since it’s all stuff that I should have accomplished last weekend. For breakfast on Tuesday I had a bowl of One Lucky Duck grawnola, cheerios, and bananas on top of greek yogurt. Tuesday I got my running mojo back and after this bowl of deliciousness had digested I set off for a nice 30 minutes… Read more >

On Thursday my alarm went off and I popped out of bed with a quickness. You may be wondering why I was so anxious about starting the day… It certainly had nothing to do with the excessively layered outfit I had laid out to wear (of course it’s suddenly 80+ degrees at sunrise the day I have to wear professional attire). It also had nothing to do with the 25 minute bus ride next to Mister I’m-going-to-broadcast-my-cell-phone-conversation-to-the-world. As I previously mentioned and then shared via twitter, I was in fact at a follow up job… Read more >

If you are wondering what a type A person looks like before a job interview, here you go: Prepping slash watching the seconds on the clock tick by. SO nervous. Keep your digits (all of ‘em) crossed for me. After an hour of selling myself offering to give up my first born child for the job, I noshed on a colorful bowl of strawberries and apples. It was still gloomy weather when noon arrived, so I felt like a warm comfort sammie. Tempeh fakin’ bacon. I bought this on a whim (and because it was… Read more >
