Blog? What blog?

Wow.  I'm really bad at this blog thing.  I should force myself to sit down at least once a week to write SOMETHING, but I'm lazy and that's time I could be napping, watching Netfilx, or eating something covered in butter and/or cheese.  Plus, I was without a computer for quite a whole, but now thanks to my tax return, I have a beautiful, refurbished MacBook with retina display :)

Summery of my life:

The end of the One-Eyed Doll tour went well. Hopefully I'll have time to write about all stories I have and post pictures/videos. There were a lot of awesome VIPs, but VIP/friend Brad gets special mention for getting a menu from the diner he took us to. I had something called the "Grilled Cheese Egg-splosion" and they coat their mozzarella sticks with cool ranch Doritos.  The menu is pretty awesome. Thanks Brad!

Tour ended in Michigan so I got to spend some time with family before going home :)  That was nice, but snow, and having to fly on Christmas, were not.  Also, apparently if you're flying on Christmas Day the TSA doesn't want to bother with you taking your shoes off or taking your bag of 3oz bottles of liquid out of your carry-on.  That made me feel really safe *sarcasm*

My female friends and I have been trying to have get togethers once every month or so, so we can all keep in touch despite our busy schedules.


My roommate Mary hosted a tacos and pool party one at our place.

The spread, I made Raspberry Mojito Cupcakes

Dissaya on her slip n' slide

The only boys allowed at the pool party taking a dip.
I got paid to sew a costume for a movie called The Purgation that a lot of my friends also worked on or acted in.


My other job is going ok.  I don't mind the job and my co-workers are awesome, but the store management kind of sucks. My department doesn't get much support and back-up from the store, but my co-workers and I are currently working on changing that.


Luckily One-Eyed Doll is going on tour again, so I can get some time away.


Been exploring some more places on days off.  Corey and I went down to a mall in Orange County one day, and spent another wandering around Pasadena again.





Been doing a lot of baking and cooking, but I have so many pictures I could fill another entire blog with just food. I've tried to introduce Boog to the concept of selfies, he's not a fan.


I could probably also fill an entire blog with pictures of Boog being a weirdo.

My friend Lindsey was on the show Wipeout.  We had a big get together at the bar Mary was bar tending at to watch it on their big screen.  She made it all the way to the finals!!!  At the moment it's only available to Hulu+ members, and I don't know how long it will be up, but you can try watching the episode here!


I sewed myself a cute apron to bake in, then sewed a sleeve for my reusable cup with some of the left over fabric.


Our friend, and one of Corey's old roommates, Chris just moved to CA!  He just got here earlier this week and contacted me a couple of days ago.  Yesterday after we got out of work we met up with him.  We took him to eat at Lucky Boy in Pasadena. That night he was supposed to meet up with someone he knew at an improv show in Santa Monica, so we went to that with him.  While there we ran into the director of The Purgation and caught up with her for a bit.  After the show we took Chris down to the Santa Monica Pier just because it's cool.

And that, more or less, brings me to today :)  Which apparently is National Blueberry Muffin Day.  I bought blueberries from Whole Foods that I'll probably use to make a compote for the vegetarian panna cotta I've wanted to make ever since they had to make panna cotta on Master Chef. Maybe there will be pictures of it in my food picture blog.
