It's Spring Already?

I can't believe that it has been three months since I blogged. I guess I've been pretty busy with school work this semester. Taking 16 units was not all it's cracked up to be. With five weeks left till finals I am finding myself day-dreaming of summer fun. Getting back in shape will be huge on the to-do list (although I'm not sure how fun that will be) as well as getting out doors more. I feel like Ryan and I have been cooped up all winter and we are dying to get outside! I want to go hiking, and camping, and to the beach, and maybe go kayaking again to that cave...the sky is the limit! First though I may have to go tan...seeing my legs for the first time (since last summer) on Easter was pretty shocking...that color of white is just not natural.

New schedule

So tomorrow starts the first "full" week of my new schedule. I actually started school last week, but I only had one day since Monday was a holiday. So, I'm packed up and ready with my mini laptop and my school books, looking forward to my new endeavors. I know I have a long road ahead of me, but I'm looking forward to the challenge.

I've also decided that I'm going to try to be better with keeping up with my online activities, since I noticed tonight that I had not updated my twitter status since I congratulated the newly elected President Obama! I'm going to try to read more news online, and maybe get involved with some more nerd communities. I love nerd communities!

I feel like I some how slept through an entire month and all of a sudden it's almost February! Where have I been?? I could tell you, but really it's kind of embarrassing...as it involves books about vampires and warewolves. Damn Stephanie Meyer and her books that keep me up at night! It's time I move past my irrational obsession (which includes watching the movie this weekend on youtube...twice) and get back to living.

So maybe this is a belated resolution blog, maybe this is me trying to wake myself up...but for now, it's late and time for bed. How bout I wake myself up tomorrow?

December 1st

It's the most wonderful time of the year, right? I've decided it is for sure. When I was younger I remember being very "bah-humbug" about the holidays because I found them sooooo depressing, but once I took a step back and realized that I have a wonderful life, with nothing to be depressed about, it was then that I could fully enjoy the spirit of the season.

What I ask you is better than an Eggnog Latte, a turtle neck sweater, jeans, a pair of ugh boots, and snuggling up with your honey. NOTHING, that's what! Now if our Southern California weather would just work with us a bit...we could actually wear sweaters and ugh boots and not look completely ridiculous!

Crazy Fun

Well, it has been a while since I posted. I have been super crazy with trying to stay a float at school while holding down a full time job. I need to keep my head up, because this is only the beginning of my crazy classes, and it's only going to get harder. With all that said, I truly feel for the first time that I'm working toward something great (education wise that is), and I just hope that I can keep up the momentum.

On a fun note, we are leaving to go camping tomorrow! It's sort of an impromptu trip for Ryan's birthday. I will make sure to post pics upon our return. I'm just so happy to be spending the weekend with him, because we have not seen a whole lot of each other since I started school this semester.

Frozen Meat; to be or not to be...

So I want to know who decided that it is a bad idea to freeze meat? I see all these fast food commercials that advertise "never frozen" and other dining establishments advertise that your meal is "not made until you order it." All I'm saying is I live in San Diego, and I don't see In-and-Out having a cow in the back next to the fry making machine freely giving out chunks of his or her "filet mignon"...or any near by farms delivering sides of beef on a daily basis. How do they keep the meat fresh? A refrigerator? Don't get me wrong...I LOVE fast food (especially In-and-Out, btw)...it's fast, it's cheap, and it's usually super yummie, but I would much prefer to have my meat frozen...at least then I know it has been kept in a state where it is not slowly decaying on its trip from god knows where! I freeze meat all the time...and then i cook it and it's good. The days of salting meat to keep it fresh longer are so last century...I say we move over to the freezer where it's nice and cool.

Kayaking Fun

Yesterday Ryan and I went Kayaking in La Jolla. We first went to the official cool La Jolla Kayaking place and it was sold out for hours. We didn't want to wait, so we opted to try for next weekend. Our intention was to make reservations sometime during this week. As we are walking towards our car, we notice this seedy little sigh saying something about "Kayaking Cave Tours" and we decide to check it out. So it's 11:19, when we walk in to the place that we are pretty sure is some guys apartment, and we ask if they have anything available for the day. He's like "sure, we got spots available for 11:30." So in 10 minutes time, Ryan and I are dragging a huge kayak into the Pacific, towards sharks, which we saw tons of. Don't worry though, they were only a few feet long, and I'm told they are bottom feeders. Once we were out at sea, it was absolutely amazing! The only draw back was I got super burnt. I didn't even think I would be able to put on clothes today in order to go to work. Here's just an example of how burnt I got!

Kayaking in La Jolla, I totally recomend it. Just remember to bring your sunscreen!

Calorie Scams

I've decided that calories on the nutritional value labels are scams. Think about how often you read the package of *insert your favorite treats here* and you think, "oh, it's only 350 calories." When infact it's actually 1050 calories because there are three servings in the tiny treat! I think the package should say 1050 calories total, and then you can eat half the treat and feel good that you only had 525 calories.

I'm hungry!
