i suppose bullet points would be my best mode for keeping things organized and thus not creating another one of my famous word walls...

• dinner fail: last friday, marshall and i attempted to go out to dinner. i wanted to walk, since i was eager to rack up as many activity points as i could, so we headed toward downtown campbell. we stopped at a ( Read more... )

there are so many things i had going on before school started that i've just completely left behind. one is my cooking blog. i haven't even done any really inventive or new cooking at all recently. i'd be pretty hard pressed to remember what i've actually cooked in the last 2 months. i cook, sure, but i haven't really got in the kitchen and ( Read more... )

so, marshall and i spent our labor day weekend in carmel valley. luckily, we had enough time before heading out to grab breakfast with the gang. we even got to see heypacksees, who came down for the weekend. we apparently missed out on a bbq, but i have a feeling, due to the attendees, that we would've been the odd-ones out ( Read more... )

marshall and i decided to have a weekend away this weekend, seeing as it's labor day weekend. last year we spend the weekend in san francisco (my userpic was taken at the japanese tea gardens at golden gate park). that was wonderful and we had a great time ( Read more... )

i've been getting a few questions regarding a post about and pictures from themarshal and my vacation last week to new england. it was a long vacation and i still haven't finished my write ups on all the places we ate at (personal write-ups, nothing official). we also took TONS of pictures (100+ easily). i learned the other night that i have to upload ( Read more... )

this week has been by far the shittiest week at work. not only was it hectic because i needed to wrap things up before leaving on vacation, but then this new product that FLOODED into our department really threw a wrench into my week. i rarely actually complain about the work that i have to do. normally i'm pretty good at just dealing with it; ( Read more... )

first thing's first, the inevitable happened - themarshal is sick. living in such close quarters, sleeping in the same bed, sharing the same spit, etc, it's only a given when one person gets sick the other will, too. i just am sad that it's the same week we leave for our vacation. i mean, com'on - can't it wait? at least it'll only be during the first ( Read more... )

"the squeaky wheel gets the grease." my mom always uses that saying. i'm always worried if i open my mouth i step out of line or something. i've been in situations where i've gotten a little too familiar with coworkers and have said something rather innocently that ended up being blown out of proportion. such as, using the word "crap-shoot" in ( Read more... )

i've recently started hanging out with one of my coworkers. she doesn't work in my immediate group of people, but rather in the same department and in a different building. we both work for production, but i handled "hard" science titles and she handles "soft" science titles. a month or so ago, we decided to get together for lunch. we met up ( Read more... )
