I went to grab a drink with Priscilla tonight and we reminisced how we first met. On Twitter, naturally, before we finally met face to face. We were both bloggers then. Me and my random, ranty, nerdy blog with the food spin-off that was starting to go somewhere. Then I got a job in the produce industry and the blogging stopped. Both the food side and this side. Why is it that when something you love to do as a hobby become your job, it wasn’t quite as fun any more? A quick walk down the memory lane with Priscilla...

5 Thoughts Waking up coughing in the middle of the night is no fun. My throat is a little sore and I feel a little feverish but that’s not going to stop me from heading out to the Huntington Library with great friends! What a glorious day to be out there! Oh sheesh…the fever is really kicking in now. GODZILLA!!!!!! Oh my god. You guys. Find the biggest theater near you and see it in 3D IMAX. Don’t think about the plot or the story line. Just go for the monsters. It’s AWESOME. Jeebus, I think this is turning into...

5 Thoughts I’m absolutely and positively in love with riding my bike despite cars trying to kill me. The weather these days could be windy at times but it is perfect. I’m also listening to The Fault In Our Stars on Audible and I’m super hooked. I really must try an audio book when I get back to running. It might be the key to cure my boredom! I love my girl friends. They are THE BEST! However, logging what I ate at dinner into MyFitnessPal is soul crushing. Why did I schedule a weigh-in the day after Girls Night...

5 Thoughts Remember how I thought ramen is like Lembas bread? I had forgotten the REAL Asian Lembas Bread: rice. Fried rice makes a hefty breakfast and Mexican rice a solid lunch. But when you’re trying to eat seven meals a day, those two portions of rice might’ve been a bit too hefty. It’s AWESOME to get out of the office and have a meal with friends once a in a while. I really should stop eating at my desk. Sometimes all you REALLY, really want is a piece of fruit…which you did not have. And now that you’re home...

I was hanging out with my friends in Sacramento this weekend. After a few glasses of wine, and the conversation turned Sex and the City-esque. My love history–or lack thereof–surprised the hell out of everyone. And I heard myself said this. “It wasn’t like I had a self image issue. I was perfectly happy with who I was and I knew who I was. I was content that guys aren’t attracted to any of this [pointing around myself]…” At which point, as good girl friends do, my friends chimed in, “”Aww! Stop it. You’re totally hot!” “Oh, I know I’m...
