We limped over to the Metro to ride to the Eastern Market. Alex’s knee pits were on fire and I was walking on blisters to meet my friend, Emily, who’s lived in DC for about 4 years. After looking around at the market, we walked towards the Capitol and met up with a friend of Em’s. … Continue reading

D.C. Day One
We just got back from a Spring Break jaunt to our nation’s Capitol. I know what you’re thinking. Why didn’t I blog about the hours of preparation that we did and how excited I was about going? Well, because my dad told me to never write about your travels on the internet, just in case … Continue reading
Follow Me or Don’t: Not a post about Twitter
Let’s imagine that I decide that I cannot tolerate Alex sticking his pointy elbow in my eyeball while we share a full size bed. Don’t believe me that it’s true? Here’s a haiku from a very old post to prove it: ABOUT SHARING A FULL SIZE BED North Korea invades Peace treaty not an option Sharp elbow attacks. -Alex It’s no … Continue reading
Kale: Vegetable to the Stars
My friend Rebekah was the one who really got me thinking about eating healthy food. She’s done a fabulous job at finding recipes that are delicious and nutritious and she graciously made me veggie burgers and healthy waffles while I exercised my taste buds on things I had never eaten before. One of the things … Continue reading
Spaghetti Face
Dear Party-goers- I think I partied a little too hard last night. Alex accidentally forgot that I love to eat trash, so he thought nothing of putting out an entire bag full of spaghetti on the back porch. While you were talking about love, I was gorging myself on the classic Italian dish, complete with garlic bread. … Continue reading
Eat My Shorts, Academia.
(Remember how I’m in school? You probably don’t because I never talk about it because all my studying is done in the mornings before work while the rest of you bing-bongs are working your 9-5s.) Dear Academia, I successfully completed last semester’s course and registered for this semester’s. Last semester, the class was centered around … Continue reading
A Night in the Basic English Computer Class
I wish there was a tasteful way to create a sitcom about an ESL school. It would be so tongue-in-cheek but it would be so stinkin’ funny. Today’s funny story comes to you from our computer lab. The computer lab is an excellent source of funny stories. My first week on the job, I walked … Continue reading
It’s Spring Rolls
This is the first of my vegetarian recipe posts. I refused to give up food that tastes good so we’ve found some pretty delicious recipes. This is one of them. Some of you are probably thinking, “Duh. I’ve made spring rolls every week since I was a kid” but I just started eating vegetables, so give … Continue reading
Hey There, Little Guy
Would you like to see my favorite piece of art? First, here’s the back story: I saw it about a year ago at the Dallas Museum of Art. Unfortunately, as soon as I left the room, I forgot the artist and the name. I scoured the internet for it, but to no avail (mostly because … Continue reading
Tick Attack: Betcha Can’t Eat Just One
If anyone can locate the actual TicTac slogan, feel free to let me know. I couldn’t find it after seconds of searching on wikipedia, so it’s obviously not on the internet. Gracie (my dog) and I had a rough morning on Thursday. My mornings are supposed to be full of waxing on about andragogy and … Continue reading
