Bruins, birthdays, and BBQs

Saturday was sponsored by the letter “b” apparently.  Kyle and I woke up at 7 am to get in a morning jog.  I hate working out early in the AM, but I love how it frees up the rest of the day.  So conflicting.  The reason I don’t like rise-and-shine cardio is because I suck at it.  I’m slow in the mornings.  I don’t really start to function until an hour (or two, if I’m being honest) after I’ve been awake.  The route I took Saturday morning typically takes me 24 minutes (when I do… Read more >

Nine two nine

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 >

Back to work

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 >

The bigger the better

These past few days have been a bit busy for me…among other things, I’ve been prepping for my follow-up job interview (which is tomorrow – eek!).  Coffee for four.  All for me 🙂 I have been cooking, too, but as you can see, blogging has taken the back burner.  Also, I’ve been having a string of bottomless pit days.  I’m sure you’re familiar.  You know the days when you’re stomach just won’t quit.  Which is all well and good, except that it leaves me with 482 photos to post.  Ugh.  I may as well dive… Read more >

Sisterly love

My sister came to visit this weekend so Kyle and I did our best to show off Santa Monica in all it’s glory.  The weather wasn’t cooperating, but despite the misty cloud cover, it was a weekend packed with fun. Friday morning we hiked to Inspiration Point in Will Roger’s State Park.  By the time we got back it was lunch time and Huckleberry was calling our names. Laura has heard me rave about Huckleberry so many times, it was an obvious choice for lunch. First we split the white bean dip with a slice… Read more >
