hello

Me. A computer. And a blog. First things first...what the *&%$ is a blog?

According to the mother of all word definition sources, Merriam Webster:
short for Weblog, this word was created in 1999 (God, I was still in college...)a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections and comments

So, according to the definition, this blog should contain a personal account of all the exciting things that happen in my life (which, is often). This will really be more like a way for me to record anything and everything that happens to me, so that when I get older- afterall, I am in my 30's now- I can remember what the hell happened. 


I recently quit my job, because I don't believe that you should spend the majority of your day being unhappy at what you do. To anyone that knows me, this is no surprise. Maybe this is why I am not a millionaire yet. I always fancied myself as a millionaire. Maybe I should have fancied a millionaire instead. Semantics suck.


I have been through this roller coaster before- 10 years ago I graduated from college, I just quit my 7th job- but there were 3 differences in the past: I was young-er, the economy was better, and I did not have a dog that depended on me for her Greenies. 


During this time of flux, I have a few "plans":

  • Cook something new everyday (within reason of course. For example, if I am traveling it may not be possible to cook something). Here I go making excuses already.
  • Travel. This one will be a bit difficult since I don't have an income and Sugar Daddy Rob is not going to tolerate me spending all our savings flitting around the world (without him no less). I know what a bastard, huh?
  • Try/do something new every week. I am confident that this is the one I can truly achieve. With great ideas like Groupon, I may actually be able to afford this...
  • Volunteer. Once a week. 
  • Oh yeah, and find a job.
Check back often, I promise one thing in each post will make you laugh. Consider it your weekly dose of comedy. Ask anyone who knows me, weird shit happens to me all the time.

Sometimes, you just have to eat cake in the middle of the night!

Periodically, I suffer from insomnia. I have tried several remedies over the years to help me fall asleep: sleeping pills (did not work), herbal teas, natural melatonin, wine (copious amounts), meditation, and the oldest trick in the book- counting sheep. No seriously, I count sheep. Although, I only get to about 10 sheep before a barrage of thoughts make me lose count...at 10! Rob and I recently took a trip back to the midwest to surpise his parents for their 60th birthdays. They live out in the suburbs, where things are peaceful and quiet...exactly the wrong combination for this city girl to get her beauty sleep. I found myself up at 1am, after tossing and turning for almost 2 hours, with no sleep in sight. As I lay in bed next to my snoring husband (definitely not a remedy for sleeplessness!), I started making a list of all the things I am thankful for. I assumed that making a mental list of all the positives in my life would help settle my mind and put me to sleep. It did not. In...

Red Pepper Sauce Pizza

Day one of "cook something new everyday" has begun. I am starting off slow. I am not going through the Julia Child cookbook...this is not a movie. Although, sometimes I do enjoy affecting a silly accent when I am in the kitchen. After a quick trip to Trader Joes, I was ready to make my pizza. TJ's whole wheat pizza dough is awesome, but one of these days I am going to make my own dough. I digress. The main part of this pizza (and the new thing I made) was the red pepper sauce. It's sort of a pesto sauce, but you would use it as the tomato sauce on the pizza. Thank God for my new food processor. For those of you that don't have one, GET ONE. NOW. RUN. It's the bomb-diggity; what used to take me 30 minutes now takes about 2.5 seconds. Roasted garlic, roasted peppers (I roast mine directly over the flame on the stove), basil, S & P, OO. Simple. Delicious. Ok, so making a pizza is not going to win me any cooking awards, but it was good. I am pretty sure th...
