… Whit from Whit’s Getting Fit! I plugged all TWELVE of you (must be some people scared to receive homemade items over the Internet. Can’t imagine why. Ha) from my mini giveaway for a jar of Easy Peasy 10-Step Blackberry Jam into Random.org and here was the result: (The first of 12 comments). I think this is only fitting because Whit has a foodie type blog about eating healthy and working... Read more

Forgive me father, for it’s been awhile since I’ve posted a Bacon! Bacon! Bacon! (Saturdays for breakfast…) post. Don’t worry. I’ve still be eating bacon weekly; I just haven’t been sharing it. Oh the blasphemy! This week, the BF and I had the pleasure of attending Yelp’s Taste of Georgetown party, which was a party thrown to highlight restaurants and breweries... Read more

[Don't forget to enter my mini giveaway in the post below before Friday!] A couple months ago I started reading a blog called Hello Vodka, It’s Me… Kassy. The title immediately grabbed me – vodka is by far my only liquor of choice for a night out. Tequila = puke my brains out. Too many memories from trips to Mexico. Rum = yuck, yuck, double yuck. And, I’m not even going to mention... Read more

[Disclaimer: You'll want to read this post all the waythrough because there's a mini giveaway at the end!] Since being unemployed, I’ve felt like I’ve had more time to feed my creative sole. More time to read, more time to design, more time to write (even if you don’t see me more here – I have 1,000 other projects going on), more time to say, “Hey, I’ve always wanted to... Read more

… I feel like I’m on the convergence of some really fantastic paths that will take me places I’ve never been and help me to grow into the women I’m not quite become… …I’m training (rather quickly) for a 5K that I signed up for at the end of September. It’s a 5K during Seattle’s Oktoberfest, so I’m running TOWARD a beer garden. And then I have a... Read more

A couple weekends ago, I went on a trip to Orcas Island in the San Juans Islands. I went there last year with Baby Daddy, and we just loved the place so much, we went again this year. For those of you who are local and pay attention to my Washington-focused food, wine and camping blog, you’ve probably seen my post about Orcas Island already. But, I just wanted to share a few of the sunset pics that I... Read more

Last week, I started picking my way through the list of 101 Salads for Summer that I previously posted about. I decided that I’d just randomly move through the list as my taste buds see fit. The first two I picked out were: # 2. Mix wedges of tomatoes and peaches, add slivers of red onion, a few red-pepper flakes and cilantro. Dress with olive oil and lime or lemon juice. Astonishing. My notes: I... Read more

As most of you know, I’m in a LTR. If you’re like me, and you had no idea what that little acronym meant until about a year ago, I’ll let you in on the little secret – it’s Long Term Relationship. (Woowee. How exciting!) I’ve been in my LTR for nearly two years now. EEEKK. Really, that just scares the bejesus out of me. Am I the only one who feels like their life is... Read more

I have an interview in, oh um, 34 minutes. Just a screen interview – but at Amazon.com, so that’s pretty exciting. Right now I’m researching the group I’d be working for and going through my list of “Top 100 Interview Questions” that I used when I was trying to interview before I found my last job. I filled all of the interview questions in – and it’s super... Read more

Apologies in advance, for I’m about to talk about something slightly gross and inappropriate… No, not fat people, chicken farming, vaginas or puking… FLOSSING. I’ll admit. I spent a huge chunk of my life not flossing. I’d always dread the dentist cause they’d jam their floss in between my teeth (in a very ungentle fashion), leaving my gums sore for days afterward. And... Read more
