Saturday full

Saturday was a very full day. 

The Wow-what-a-productive-and-fun-day kind of full.

I wish every weekend felt this great!

* There was the epic morning breakfast. Apparently, good things happen when you start the day with mimosas. Jeff picked up a free couch set from a garage sale around the corner.

* Experienced college nostalgia as I passed out flyers at the electronics swap meet and encouraged people to attend our student art show. Not too many electronics junkies were very interested in art... or having human contact. But now I know where to go for cheap electrical tape!

* Jeff/Geoff visited the art exhibition. I'm still a bit amazed how well everything came together.

* Listened to some amazing artists share their passions.


* Snuck out for some chicken verde nachos from Whole Foods. Yum!

* Got to go back to Whole Foods during a late lunch break to get some mint chocolate gelato.

* Came home with paintbrushes and a giant Sharpie paint marker! (FYI: I kind of love sharpies.)

* Went grocery shopping at Maxim and Safeway. Less than $30 for a cart full of groceries vs. $10 for two packages of hot dogs. I am so grateful for Asian supermarkets.

 * Cooked a giant batch of Filipino spaghetti.

* Went out at night and tried some new drinks, even taught the bartender something new. I think I prefer my usual choices though.

* Ended the night with a burrito + orange sauce from La Vics.





All that and I didn't drink any coffee all day!
(I was doing two-a-days at Starbucks most of the week.)

I've decided to practice discipline and started my food blog with the goal of posting a few times a week and forcing myself to learn how to cook. Is it bad I like taking pictures of food more than people? Food doesn't complain when it thinks it looks bad in a picture. An awesome photographer at the exhibition spoke about taking lots of pictures growing up but decided to learn more about the craft and composition through classes. Right now I can only dream of taking pics as beautiful as his. But I hope to learn more.

I'm still debating what to include on both blogs, if I should combine both blogs or turn this one private and keep it as random thoughts. My original intent of this blog was to scrapbook what I was going through in life, lessons learned, stories, travels and crazy dreams.

Thank you if you've been following this rollercoaster of a blog!
