Needs Improvement

Here’s the thing: I don’t usually fret over my weight.  I mean, like everyone, I have my moments of weakness where I worry about it and kick into high gear regarding working out and eating well.  And when I do that I feel awesome.  I look good and feel good and I’m one hundred percent [...]

Futbol

I started playing soccer in seventh grade after a friend of mine, who hailed from several other cities where soccer was popular.  When I was in seventh grade, in Idaho, it was still gaining popularity when I started.  In fact, if it weren’t for said friend I probably never would have started.
Growing up, my mom [...]

How it Goes

The question I get most often lately is this: How goes the living situation?  
Because, yes, I’ve publicly stated how scared I was that this would all blow up in my face once we moved in together.  And not because I think that our relationship isn’t strong enough but because I am sort of, well, [...]

Surfer Girl

Yesterday our alarm went off at 6:45.  In the morning.  Just think about that for a second: we woke up, voluntarily, at 6:45 am on a Saturday.  
But it was for a good cause: we’re trying to learn to surf.  I mean, we live in Huntington Beach – Surf City.  How can we live here [...]

Housewivery and Recycling

I think maybe just chilling at home and getting all the household chores done could be my chosen profession.  I mean, I’ve really enjoyed the relaxing I’ve been able to do over the past three days.  I wake up with Wes, take him to work and then, depending on how I feel, I either come [...]

Figuring it Out, but Enjoying the Sun in the Meantime

I had a brilliant idea for a post yesterday.  But… that was yesterday and today I’ve got nothing.  
Yesterday I started seriously training for the Nike Women’s Half Marathon that I will be running in October.  Though, I suppose it’s only serious if I stick with it, which means that I need to complete an [...]

Moving On

I’ve just finished my exit interview and am now just chilling in my cube, waiting until the party starts after work.  My last official party at this insane company.  When I started this count down last October I was fairly certain that I would never make it this far.  From this side, though, it doesn’t [...]

The Weekend Wrap-Up

I spent three continuous days drunk.  Well, the evenings anyway, so I guess that doesn’t really count as continuous.  There was a lot of drinking, is what I’m trying to convey.  Apparently, that’s what my family does best.  
Last year we all got together for my grandfather’s funeral.  It was probably the first time in [...]

My Family Rocks

I think the title says it all. My family, as crazy as it is, is amazing to be around.  We all have a ton of fun – laughter, drinking, fun.  That’s what you want in a family.

Happy Fourth!

Holy wow!  I sometimes forget what 100-degree weather felt like.  I mean, I know it’s hot and I routinely talk about how hot it is but I’ve forgotten what it physically feels like.  It was 87 degrees when we landed last night.  At midnight!
At midnight, people!  87 degrees at midnight.  When it should be cooling [...]
