Promises,
And they still feel o’ so wasted on myself.

You got me so wild,
Why should I be so surprised?
You got me so high,
Don’t you see it in my eyes?
And you keep tellin’ me,
Telling me that you’ll be sweet,
And you’ll never want to leave my side,
As long as I don’t break the…

Promises,
And they still feel o’ so wasted on myself.

They are so wasted on myself.

Rain

We had some rain this weekend in Georgia: a weather phenomenon most of us were beginning to suspect as myth. It was glorious. :)

Using J’s iPhone to take some pictures this weekend made me miss it even more. I took this one while driving back from Mall of Ga, which by the way, is an awesome mall. :)

I also turned 26 this weekend. 26 is a good number. 25 was an awesome number.
I’m enjoying my twenties to their fullest. I can’t wait to see what the next four years holds for my adventurous little soul.

Hmm – Hiatus

My blog’s been experiencing some interesting side effects of certain malware. It’s taking a little longer to cleanup than expected, but I should be up and running next week. thanks guys–

Quinoa

This weekend I had planned to have a few friends over. It was an opportunity to try something new for a party snack.  This recipe (suggested by @jstone13zero) is from one of our new favorite blogs, Oh She Glows.

The ingredients were simple enough.

Add some maple syrup and balsamic vinegar and you have an interesting dressing for this mishmash of fruit and quinoa. I had never had quinoa before this dish. I have to admit, I was highly skeptical of the taste since most prepared “healthy” grains taste like cardboard but the quinoa was actually very good. It had a very light, unobtrusive flavor and I can’t say I didn’t enjoy the texture.

Fair warning, though. It’s pretty difficult not to try to consume the dish before you’ve cooked the Quinoa or added the dressing.

This is what Quinoa looks like after it’s been cooked:

Start spooning the fruit on top…

And it’s all plated. :)

Soooooo delicious. Sooo GONE!

Try out the recipe. It’s healthy, vegan, and amazing! The rest of her recipes look amazing as well. I will probably be trying them in the future!! :)

Most accurate time/ratio graph I have ever seen. :)

My Wednesdays never start out this bad.

Don’t worry about zombies. We are faced with a much smaller brain eating nemesis. No I am not kidding.

6am

For once in my life I actually got up at 5:30 in the morning to attempt to catch the sunrise. the pale sky and the barely pink horizon that hid the tall hotels down the beach was totally worth waking up for.

Man, I am almost done processing through my vegas photos.  Yeah, it was definitely two months ago… but now that I’m finally finishing the LA pictures I’ll have a full album on facebook next week, I think.

These are some hanging lanterns from Little Tokyo in Los Angeles.

My weekend trip to Florida was a success. My whole body hurts but I sure made the best of my day and a half at the beach. Back to life.. back to reality…! /90’s song
