Cool Kid dance parties

in the BART station (after cool kid bowling parties.)








Rock.

I am so happy Julie was born

...it was such a good excuse to go bowling.



As far as bowling birthdays go, we killed it. I ate 3 corn dogs and beat Hannemann twice.

Julie should turn 18 more often.

Big News

So my life is going at hyper speed these days, but it seemed very important that I stop and take a minute to share with you all the new reality TV show I discovered today:

I'm back, bitches.

I'm sure you all missed my incredibly witty and informative blog posts. Now that I work 60 hours a week, "the internet" has fallen below "drinking" on my list of priorities.

But to tide you over till the net post, here's a really sexy picture of Max and I :

Its Morgan's Fault

...that Taylor came over to use my computer and "jerking off to Rachel Ray" was in the search box.

Parental Guidence

I called my dad for some life advice the other day. We ended up talking a lot about small business ownership and the amount of time and work that requires. My Dad is a very smart guy, but he has an annoying habit of over using analogies, often to explain very basic concepts that my adult brain already understands. That is why I was blown away by the totally bizarre advice that " if you're going to eat shit no matter what, at least eat shit in a place that has plumbing."
.....?

He looks really funny behind that statue, huh?

Health.

So I finally went to a general doctor (not my lady doctor) for the first time in three years. Survey: how many of you out there lie to the doctor? Like do you actually tell her how much you drink when he/she asks? Doesn't everybody inflate the amount of exercise they get? Am I the only person who allows herself to be lectured on her diary intake when asked about my digestion?

Speaking of which, my stomach hurts, but I know that's NACHO problem.



HA!

Alma matters

Good to know my college is at least as physically attractive as Yale. Because we all know that good looks are the only thing that matter in life.

Day of Birth

Reconnecting

Last night I spoke to an old friend on the phone that I has not talked to in almost THREE years. We had a falling out in '07, and I have been having dreams about her ever since. Last night we sent each other messages at the EXACT same time, which was eerie, and talked on the phone for several hours.

The universe works in strange ways I guess. Speaking of wonders of the universe, has anybody stopped and looked at vegetables lately?

This cabbage is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!

Bad news guys...

...I have crabs.




And they're DELICIOUS!!!!!

When ya gotta go, ya gotta go

Tilikum the whale has a sorted past....

What have I been up to lately?

Other than reading Norwegian fantasy novels?

Laura and I threw a joint birthday party and it was really fun, at least I thought so.

Julie thought so too, I've never seen her do so many keg stands!

Also,I had a bazillion friends visit this week and Roomie flew in from New York and surprised me at work, which made me feel like this:


And I ate the most delicious (sustainably raised!)sandwich I have had all year. Spit roasted Porchetta with pickled cabbage, house made dijon and pepper-cress, served with a side of pickled onions.


And of course... LOST.

It's almost MARCH!

I am so behind on my blogging...







get it?

Cute overload.

So I talk all the time about how babies make me incredibly uncomfortable (which they do) but that doesn't mean I am immune to cute things.
Yesterday not one, but TWO of these creatures came into the store and I was so overcome with cute that I had to sit down.


You really have to see them in person, these google images don't do them justice, I couldn't stop squealing.

Obsessions

I've been in something of a weird holding pattern lately. I'll spare you the details because I don't think anybody gives a shit, but I have developed a few new fixations this winter while trying to get over my one big fixation.

1. Hot toddies. Why did I take me so long to get into them? It's tea...with booze in it! If you take the time to stud the lemon with cloves: perfection.
2. Kale. A superfood. Ive started eating it every day and boy am I regular, let me tell you.
3. Yoga. I never thought I would say it, but thank you Taylor and Yoga to the People (http://www.yogatothepeople.com/berkeley/sf-directions.shtml)

These actually sound like rather moderate fixations, healthy even. I should probably mention that I've also turned into a total burnout this month, but lets focus on the positive, ok people?

Hangover Breakfast

Sometimes I wake up hungover, hungry, and broke.
I'm sure nobody out there can relate to that.
Anyway, yesterday I woke up in that exact predicament a half an hour before I had to be at work and made the perfect hangover breakfast using the contents of my refrigerator.


I diced up half a sausage and sauteed it in a pan with a shallot, threw in a handful of leftover spaghetti, cracked an egg over the top and stir fried it all together before adding a generous amount of shredded cheese. Then I topped it with lots and lots of hot sauce.

Power breakfast.

Lately

January has been a funny month. As of the 9th, I have now lived in San Francisco for 1 year. Yay. As of the 15th, I have become a TV star (not really.)

The Food Network spent two days filming at my store. The host of the pilot being filming was the star of the now canceled "Big Daddy's House." This is what he looks like:



For years people have told me I look pissed off when I walk around casually. This was confirmed when I met Aaron, who said: "Damn girl, when I saw you earlier I thought to myself, wow, she is soooo attractive... and soooo angry lookin'."

So yeah, Big Daddy told me I was cute and angry. Rad. He also told me I have "chocolate-chip muscles" whatever the fuck that means.

Snack time

Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich, on pancakes.
Yum

Connections

Since the new year, there have been many things I have been "meaning" to blog about.
This one I absolutely HAD to blog about.

Time for a New Years Blog...

I have always found New years a bit overrated. I mean, its a celebration of the re-starting of the calender, but for some reason it makes people want to sit back and reflect. And drink. Its a great holiday for reflective alcoholics.
This New Years Eve, I accidentally ate something that made the walls melt off, leaving me with plenty of time for reflection in the early hours of 2010.

I was going to make a list of things that happened to me in 2009, but the only one I really want to talk about is my move to San Francisco. On January 9th I will have lived here for one year. That is the same day as my work's big one year anniversary party, which means that I can celebrate the best decision of my twenties with a big ass party that I don't have to pay for.

Sometimes I love San Francisco so much, I want to marry it.
Cheesy, I know.
