Mozzarella-Stuffed Chicken Meatballs
This past Monday, I had my friend Mark Marsillo over for dinner, for his birthday! He was my first dinner guest, since my proper kitchen table arrived! It was very fitting that he was first, since Mark was who had helped me (in a pinch) get my barstools (and coffee table) all settled in my apartment, way back in July. In fact, he picked out … Continue reading Mozzarella-Stuffed Chicken Meatballs
Sunny’s First’s
Well, even without going into detail on the perfect family & second-runner up family I met for Sunny….I still must have jinxed it. Despite leaving Pet Club with a leash fitted to Sunny (it was purple, our favorite color), food, a dog bed, bones & toys….the perfect family never submitted an application for her. Nor did the second runner-up family, who visited Sunny two … Continue reading Sunny’s First’s
Guinness’s First Race!
I had other things that I had planned to blog about today, but I am still just too excited about Guinness’s racing debut to put off posting about it! (So excited in fact, that I am honestly having daydreams of turning him into a professional racing dog.) On February 24th, 2013, Guinness Russell took part in his first race! And completed his first 5K! AND … Continue reading Guinness’s First Race!
The day JFK was shot.
I am superrrr late on posting this. Other more exciting things got in the way! I still wanted to fill you all in though on the second book I had read in January— “11/22/63” by Stephen King. A NY Times review can be found here. As one of my volunteer activities with Intel, I have spent time the last two years at Canyon State Academy … Continue reading The day JFK was shot.
Sunny! My favorite topic :)
(Warning: This is about to be a long post with 500 pictures, but my Grandma Dolores said she likes the pictures, so I made sure to take a lot this weekend!) I had the awesome, incredible, wonderful, luck to be Sunny’s Dog Caretaker on both Saturday & Sunday this week. When I got the email saying I would have her Saturday, I sent off a … Continue reading Sunny! My favorite topic 🙂
“The Long Run”
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”
Life passes you by
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
Update on Sunny!
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!
Happy Chinese New Year!
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!

I have really enjoyed volunteering, and I cannot wait to … Continue reading Volunteering!
