Scoped, Spotted, and Splattered

So you’ve wondered where I”ve been? Around, actually. Quite a little bit. I suffered a bit of an eating injury on Sunday. Yes, you read that correctly. An. Eating. Injury. Tuesday, I spent the afternoon at the Walt Disney Concert Hall and had great bonding moments with my D40. Today, my little humble food blog, HmmFoodGood, got noticed by some OC folks and nominated for “You’ve Just Been Spotted” award for food/cooking blog at Just-Spotted.com. Hop on over to either place and vote for HmmFoodGood, won’t you?  We just don’t want to crawl in last, is all. 😉 And now,...

Nowhere and Everywhere

I posted a long time ago about the pain of being a Jane of All Trades. The trades I keep collecting have a collective weight that threaten to crush me.  Just take a look at the list. Current Hobbies Playing piano, guitar (need to do more of that) and singing. Cooking. Photography. Photography of stuff I cooked.  Blogging.  Tweeting.  USC Football fanatic.  Pop culture fiend. TV junkie.  Movie and entertainment news addict.  Supporting the troops with being an Operation Paperback volunteer and gathering funds to do my own Operation Jingle All the Way annually.  Thrill the World Los Angeles. Developing...

Crash Test Oakley

I’m not safe on a bike. Never have been. But I insist on getting on the thing so I can spend time with Brandon.  Not to mention that it’s fun. Y’all remember my little blue Townie? After the stunts I pulled yesterday, I now have a name for the bike. Wallbait. You’ll see why here in a bit. Feeling ambitious on Sunday, I proposed that we rode from our place to the Alamitos Bay Farmers’ Market in Long Beach so I can pick up some fresh veggies.  After all, Brandon hooked up my cargo department so my little bucket won’t...

Strange Bed Fellow

One of those questionnaires people sent around asked, where would you want to live if you can live anywhere. My answer is “out of a suitcase, in hotel room, anywhere in the world.” Some people insist that they sleep in their own bed.  I don’t seem to have that much of an attachment. I like to be somewhere else once in a while.  A change of scenery during the day is one thing, but to have slept somewhere different is something else altogether. Yeah, I guess you could say I have the Travel Bug.  A dormant strain, compared to many,...

Cook Bake Geek

It’s been a crazy weekend.  But super fun. AND productive. First of all, Brandon has FINALLY came out of the severe sinus infection that he had.  And with abundant energey fueled by cabin fever, he ran errands all over town for me on Friday. Because, you see, on Saturday, I threw a casual baby shower for a coworker and his girlfriend at my friend Amy’s house.  I made these surprisingly gorgeous and delicious pasta carbonara tartlets and fruity modification of the Italian Scroppino (lemon sorbet + prosecco + splash of vodka). After all of that, I came running home to...

I can haz!

Tuesday marked my first week anniversary for being a metal mouth.  And I ated a cheeseburger. Oh yeah, I have a new blog set up for just that at Brace Face Chronicles. Someone questioned if I should need another blog. I would answer with one of these. Because I can just have one concentrated area to bitch and moan all about my inability to eat or the pain the braces hath brought.  Because I can share the experience with other adults who are now getting their braces…or like me, getting them again for a second time. * At a recent...
