Why do I have straight hair?

October 3, 2012

Because it means that I mean business and I want to be taken seriously. BAM!

I think the blur in this picture is pretty great. I don’t really know why.

Yesterday I ate a blt + A with my coworkers for lunch.

I ordered it with no mayo and on whole grain bread.

I love all things bacon and I definitely ate half my sandwich, took the other half back to the office, hid under my desk, and ate all the bacon off the other half before throwing it away. :mrgreen:

Bacon is like crack to me!

I’m sort of in love with this chili I tried last night. I bought it at Nob Hill, which is like a Raley’s.

I’m not going to lie, Quinoa is definitely no all rough and cowboy, which is exactly what I think chili is all about. But I will make an exception since I’m a city girl and like foofey grains.

I think I’m single handedly funding the coffee and wine trades lately. The people at starbucks are starting to recognize me… scary.

And when I went to buy this wine I felt really self conscious only buying wine… again… so I also bought a bunch of kale and an acorn squash. Yep, that’s not suspicious or weird.

I bought this really classy (aka $5 dollar) bottle of Syrah last night because the name perfectly describes me.

Honestly, I’m smokin’ hot! Puh-leeze! And it’s pretty certifiable that I’ve actually lost it so loony definitely isn’t a far fetched term… at this point.

I told my mom to start saving up some money for the loony bin I’m going to be checking myself into in after all this is over.

The smoking loon is a pretty good wine for the price. I think the sin is my fav with the Syrah a close second. :) and no worries about the frequent stabucks trips, you got to help boost t he economy somehow.

Oooo I’ll have to try the other flavors. Especially since they’re so affordable ;-).

Thanks Corrie Anne. The chili is my newest addiction… just add it to the list after coffee and wine.

You’re not loony, dear Maren. It’s normal to be disoriented when the ground has shifted in your life. The earth’s swaying will stop soon, and you can start anew. Scary, yes. Exciting, definitely–because now your future is full of exciting possibilities! Try new things! Experience joy! Take risks! LOL, start with reading my book. You’ll see how joy and sadness can go hand in hand, but I would do my life all over again in a heartbeat!

Thanks Kathleen, you always have the best advice and the warmest words.

I loveee quinoa in chili!! Probably because I am vegan, and the texture is like ground meat. NOT that I miss meat..but I think it adds to the heartiness of my vegetables. Just sayin haha. I love the Starbucks and wine addiction you have..NO SHAME!

Reply

Maren October 8, 2012 at 12:22 pm

Haha. Yeah I am totally addicted.

The quinoa was awesome in the chili. I went back to the store and bought (wait for it…) 6 more containers. It’s my go-to quick dinner these days.
