my uterus made me do it...

The only time i allow myself to give in to a fast food craving is when i'm on my period, in which case, i cannot be held responsible for the food i take in...it's like a rule of being woman.

letting my uterus direct my path, i stopped by good ol' MickyD's and got glorious french fries and a sprite...this combo always brings back nostalgic memories of my youth...

On another note, 

I GOT MY FIRST LONGBOARD TODAYYY!!

totally stoked for it. I already rode it today...went on the back streets so that less people would witness my awkward beginnings...But i'm making progress;) 

It's by a new company called Gold Coast Longboards. My board is The Evolution. 

I'll post a picture or video when i actually get good;)

My plan is to ride my bike and longboard as much as i can this summer. And i want to go visit my cousin in Venice, CA this summer. So i must get in a lot of practice so i can look like i know what i'm doing when i skate on the Venice Boardwalk!!

Pray that i dont brake any bones... ;)

mathew 6:22-24

"The eye is the lamp of the body. if your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. if the the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! No one can serve two masters. Either she will hate the one and love the other, or she will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."( I changed the "he"'s to "she"'s)

I meditated on this scripture for a while today...It really struck me because time and time again i have seen truth of this warning. When i was in high school i was completely love sick. I was so devastated (like every high school girl is) that i did not have a boyfriend. When i made myself stop watching my favorite shows, like gossip girl or one tree hill or soap operas (and yes, i did sneak around the house as a little girl watching those horrible shows...and yes, i still watch General Hospital, but only the clips with my bff Julie Berman in them, so dont judge), i realized that my obsession over finding a boyfriend decreased. Because my eyes weren't taking in the love-story saturated media, the light in my heart grew a bit brighter.

This scripture can be applied to so many areas in life...pornography (which is so readily available to anyone with access to a computer or a smart phone..which i pretty much everyone in developed nations), television and film that depict explicit sex, drug, violence, and dysfunctional relationships, violence in the world, night clubs...i think everyone can conjure up images from the world and media that has let darkness seep into our hearts through our eyes.

what is a coffee without whip cream?!

The only flaw i could find at Old Soul was the lack of delicious whip cream for my iced vanilla latte.
Cute coffee shop. I had been there once before, but that was probably a few years ago. It's in between 17th and 18th, in the alley way between L & M. The alley way is called Liestal Row.

I've been reading Max Lucado's In the Eye of the Storm: A Day in the Life of Jesus

Sitting there, reading his book and listening to my bff Sara Bareilles felt so perfect

Yesterday i reconnected with my friend Teresa at Fox & Goose, my absolute FAVORITE breakfast place. And that's saying a lot, seeing as breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I always get scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon, & toast. Teresa and i both got vanilla lattes (yes, this one had whip!! So yummy), and we shared an ollaberry scone with devonshire cream..that stuff is legit...probably why i love Fox & Goose so much. If you ever get the chance to go, you must enjoy the scone and devonshire cream!!

Bells&Balls

I've really been into doing my hair in two braids and bringing them on top of my head like a headband:

spent the afternoon at lunch with my mama:) We went to buckhorn grill and it was DELICIOUS. and of course, we had to stop for big spoon...

can you guess who got what?!

we went for a walk while we ate (because if you do that, the sugar and calories don't count...) and found this little guy:

i've finally found my trusty steed!!

I spent the afternoon with my little sisterrr elaine kate;)

and here's the mischief we got into....

And then my family went out to dinner at Chicago Fire to celebrate my older brother, Evan, becoming a real human being...HE GOT A FULL TIME TEACHING JOB!!!!!!!! so proud of him:))

And so proud of him for choosing Chicago Fire. I love their traditional pizza, and then of course the cookie pizza. Dylan and i devoured that sucker.

with love,

beautiful day

I love summer...(:
Woke up around 10a.
ate some eggs & toast with a little coffee
rode my bike up to del norte. laid out in the sun and relaxed for a while. swam laps in the indoor pool.
came home and baked banana bread
went to work for a few hours (good day though, bc my manager was not there. i've found i really dont like working with my manager, no matter who they are...i feel like i'm being judged constantly on my performance. i feel way more relaxed and secure on days that management does not work with me)
Got some dinner from trader joes and wine:))

delicious pesto pizza with tomatoes and broccoli

and the wine is a zinfandel from Old Moon

Then finished it off with some vanilla ice cream and the latest episode of glee (anyone else think that it was weird how quinn cut her hair?! seriously...if i were going through a crises, the LAST thing i would want to do is cut all of my hair off!!)

When i was at Trader Joes i found this adorable little fern:))

two reasons why i had to buy it:

1. my friend Teresa calls me "fern"

2. The pot has beautiful butterflies all around it!!

and i found the perfect spot for it in my apartment
