On Thursday & Friday, I read my first book of February– “The Long Run,” by Matt Long & Charles Butler. You can find it online, here. I think the fact I read it in about five hours tells how much I enjoyed it. It tells the story of Matt’s recovery from a horrific accident. (I may or may not have had to check to see … Continue reading “The Long Run”
On Saturday night, I had dinner with Rachel Clause…oops I mean Braten! She reminded me that I had to change her last name in my phone now that she’s been married for over three months! It was somewhat surreal. She had been “Rachel Clause Phi” (as in Alpha Phi) in my phone contacts for forever, and then suddenly she became “Rachel Braten Phi.” I’ll get … Continue reading Life passes you by
I had the pleasure of spending Sunday with my best friend, the adorable sweetheart Sunny! When I went to pick her up from Dog Days Daycare, I got there right when the doors opened at 7AM and peeked through the waiting room window as they went back to get her. She looked up & saw me way on the other side of the room….and totally … Continue reading Update on Sunny!
Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year! It is now the year of the SNAKE! I work with a TON of people in Asia. All of last week, they were leaving for their vacation (they get two weeks starting tomorrow) and wishing me a happy new year, one by one. I didn’t know too much about the Chinese New Year, so I … Continue reading Happy Chinese New Year!

Ladies & gentlemen….I present to you….YONANAS! Yonanas is the most wonderful, awe-inspiring kitchen tool I have ever owned. It even beats my mainstay, the Magic Bullet blender. You see, Yonanas allows you to shove a banana & some strawberries down a shoot & end up with ice cream. I. am. not. kidding. It is legitimate ice cream!!!! I live a two minute walk from Yogurtland … Continue reading Yonanas!
January is officially over! So it’s time for a one-month check in on ALL of my resolutions 🙂 HEALTH: Run 1000 miles- Yikes I am way behind on this! I have been super slacking on my workouts, and I only ran 20 this entire month! I will get back on track though. I’m waiting for the sun to rise sooner so that I can go … Continue reading January Check-In!
I just wanted to post some pics I have taken lately 🙂 A cool chandelier at the restaurant (Bumheads?) my brother, mom, and I ate at in Tucson: The sunrise last Tuesday off of my balcony: Sunday’s rainbow & Monday’s storms, from my balcony: The sunset last night off (Tuesday) of my balcony– realize what magnificent views I have every single … Continue reading Pretty, pretty pictures!
Reflecting upon my weekend & the other things I have to update on, I have realized this past weekend was a true girl weekend!

Sunny is officially my dream dog! While Kipper stole my heart because he is a little baby puppy & adorable, any cute puppy would! (Especially any cute puppy that has a meltdown when he is separated from you.) Sunny though, Sunny is my best buddy! She is perfect. She is a lab mix (50 pounds) so she can keep up on runs, while having the … Continue reading My dream dog: Sunny
