So lately, all I think about is food.  Last weekend, Glen and I decided to do an all cooking weekend and it turned out well.  One meal that I was proud about was these lemon garlic shrimp skewers.  They turned out pretty good!  We also tried making churrasco, but that didn’t turn out the way I wanted…so instead we just had good ol regular cooked steak.

Ever since the Greenwise Market opened by my work, I’ve been going quite often.  I even got myself a reuseable bag since I know I’m probably going to hit the place up this weekend cuz i want to try to cook more dishes over the long weekend.  I’m such a food geek.  LOL.

I’m pretty happy the 4th of July is on Friday!  3 day weekend! Probably going to see fireworks, go to a party and maybe see a comedy show.  We shall see!

Only 14 more days til our vacay, and I’m pretty stoked!  Still so much to do!

Geez, the last time I wrote up a post was almost a month ago.  Srsly, time really flies!  I’ve been SO busy with work and other online projects.  I’ve been helping Glen get his blog up and running, and there’s so much work to do!

Other than that, I’m getting back into eating healthy and exercising, but I’m not going to be doing it to a level where I’m obsessed.  Because I feel that doing that will just discourage me and I’ll stop again.  When I have time I do it, if not, I won’t be all sad about it.  I also really want to learn how to cook more than go out to eat, because all Glen and I do on the weekends is spend money and eat out.  We need to save money and we have to learn anyway, at least I do!

My sister turned 21 yesterday and we celebrated at this Bar/Lounge called Blue Martini.  That girl can out drink me anyday!!  I seriously am too old to do that scene.  Ok, I’m not too old, but I think I’m over it.  I rather relax at home with loved ones and get a good night’s sleep.  That’s just my opinion.  I still can’t believe that she’s finally legal.  I remember when she was just a little girl following me everywhere.  Now I can barely get her to color my hair!  She’s always on the move.

Next month I go on vacation, and srsly, I cannot wait!  I’ll let you all know where I’m going when it gets closer.  I totally deserve a break, but then again, it’s going to be hard for me since I’m going to be doing ‘work!’  Nonetheless, it’s work I’m excited about and I’ll be relaxing when the day is done.

I’ll definitely write more.  I guess I’m just having trouble just opening up sometimes!

I’m the type of person who really takes in everything I get, like laughing at The Daily Puppy in the morning when I open up iGoogle, laughing about something funny, or the fact that they’re playing a bunch of good 90’s music in Pandora. Those make me happy. Hearing from old friends that I’d never expect to hear from, even though they hurt me in one way or another, makes me have hope that we all can be gracious.

I guess this post was somewhat inspired by today. Today was someone’s birthday that I used to be close to, and decided to send a little note. The relationship had its many ups and downs and at the end of the day, it was better to be apart. The end of this relationship made me realize that there is a whole world out there and I needed to seek it out. And I did. Although it took me a while to really understand why things happened the way it did, I realize now why. I no longer feel negativity or resentment, but happiness towards that person that did me wrong in the past. We’ve all grown, and a little email saying “thanks” made me realize that person had been able to get over whatever it was before towards me. Of course, this is all under assumption, but I’m sure I have the right idea about it.

Earlier, I had a conversation about the future, again. I’m just too impatient about it and I just need to stop feeling that way. It’s hard to deal with seeing people around you moving forward in relationships, while you’re still in the same place. I really just need to be patient. (or so he says.)

I guess the point of this post is that little things like remembering special days and getting acknowledged, just living day by day and getting closer to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and cute doggies can go a long way.

P.S. Linkbait passed away this past weekend. Poor lil guy.

Something I don’t understand - why sell an item on eBay if you’re going to jack up the shipping price.

I was searching for a good deal on filters for my fish tank and came across this.  Sure, it’s a dollar cheaper than it is at the pet store, but the shipping price gets you! $11.29!  Crazy.

Just watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall last night and it was so funny! A must watch. I’m definitely going to add this to my DVD collection along with 40-Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up and Superbad. There was a trailer to another movie that’s coming out in August called Pineapple Express. The movie was written by the same guys as Superbad so it’s definitely going to be funny.
