Oh HI.

Oh I'm sorry (to whoever actually reads these) I haven't written in 3 months. T H R E E.  Well, life happens.  It was Christmas and traveling then it was New Years (which I actually just don't really care about the older I get) then it was adjusting to 2017 and embracing a new year, there was also ya know, a new President, boyfriends birthday then it was Valentine's Day (:/) then it was....WHO KNOWS, but in between all of that I have had some JAM PACKED DAYS, oh yeah and my boyfriend and I officially live together now, so there was a lot of moving and packing and donating and selling of belongings.  Oh and I went to Hawaii for a week in there and I wish more then anything that a vacation like that could just be life and I went into a dumb, and silly, and probably normal, depressed & melancholy state the moment we touched down in LA after leaving Maui.  Luckily my boyfriend was next to me on the plane to help me cope, it always helps when you feel like that to have someone near by that you care about and vice versa (at least for my personality).

ANYWAY- Welcome 2017!  Here it is in all it's glory!  So far I have done well at following my goals.  I am cooking 2-3 new recipes a week, and it's so much fun, especially when I am now cooking for two so my leftovers don't go to waste.  I am running three times a week in training for my first half marathon (don't ask me why...) and I am trying to learn to be the most patient with my type A organized and clean personality with the newness of living with a boy who is the complete opposite.  It's been a riot.

Only 3 months in... we will see how this goes!

4 Goodbyes...

If you are faint of heart...don't read this blog post. Death for me was a distant thought, I had seen it in movies, I had watched friends lose friends and family members, but up until the last few months, I hadn't personally experienced it, minus my great-grandmother when I was 17, she was 99 and healthy, just died in her sleep of old age and I was not close to her so I really didn't feel all the feels. My experiences started several months ago, some meant a lot to me, some were just weird and some gut wrenching. I was a nanny for several years, before I moved to LA 2.5 years ago, for many different families and usually ended on wonderful notes with each family when I parted ways, however, with on in particular mom, it ended not so sweetly. Her name was Kim, and I was basically hired to be her friend.  She was a surgeon's wife and had two kiddos.  She wanted companionship, someone to talk to and hang out with, she fast became someone I could tell all my stories ...

Giving & Thanks

Well....INSPO from one of my favorite bloggers whom I feel like I am friends with even though we have never met personally but we "follow" each other's lives from one big city to the other across the USA and engage with each other--- ALL THAT creepiness being said, her blog is  here .  ANYWAY, the whole point of that paragraph was that I felt, even though I rarely write/blog anymore, I should write a thankful/grateful post! I enjoy a good list so I will be listing these out- First and foremost, I don't care how gross you think I am but I am thankful for Almond Nog, Trader Joes' version of Almond Milk Egg Nog, don't know how it all works, but it's damn delicious and has been in my gingerbread ground coffee also from Trader Joes, every single morning this week!  Yes I am a sucker for seasonal flavors, I am what they call #basic, and I own it. AIR TRAVEL, even though I know LAX will be a complete cluster F tonight I am thankful that once I board...

Bandwagon(s)

In 1855 the term bandwagon was created and first used-originally it was a large, ornate wagon that carried musicians that were part of a band usually in circuses. I'm not sure when the term expanded to what we use it for now, but anyway, this is a term I use ALL THE TIME.  There are bandwagon fans, which if you think about it, everyone is one at one point in their lives; the loyalties start by jumping on a bandwagon with other fans, whether that be following in your families foot steps or deciding on the team on your own, it all starts by hopping on board.  There are also bandwagon trends-copying the latest fashion or hobby all falls under the category. I lately and FINALLY might I add, got back on the exercise/health/fitness bandwagon.  I fell off back in June-ish and I have had a hard time finding it and getting back on until last Monday.  I guess you could say I had an epiphany (another word I love to overuse) when I found photos of me from not even that long ...
