I ♥ Sushi!

It's 10 o'clock and I'm sitting here, hungry. Oh sure, I had a very nice bowl of Special K Red Berries and they were nice and all, but 2.5 hours later, they're getting a bit thin. But what do I want? The apple that's sitting on my desk? No. The string cheese in the refigerator? No. No no no. I just want sushi. At 10 AM. On a Wednesday. Wouldn't ya know it.

I think perhaps on Friday, I'll pick Matty up from the airport and we'll go get ourselves some sushi. Yea, that sounds good. Continue reading “I ♥ Sushi!”

Fall TV!!

I'm totally psyched up for fall TV!!! I can't wait for new episodes of my favorite shows to start. The O.C. premiered last week, followed up by the new show, Reunion, which will garner a season pass in my Tivo line-up. Gilmore Girls starts tonight (Luke and Lorelai!! … and wtf is going on w/ Rory??!). Veronica Mars won't be back for TWO WEEKS yet, and I just don't know if I can stand the supspense. And of course, I'm totally looking forward to Desparate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy. Grab some popcorn and your Tivo remote and get giddy for fall premieres!

What shows are you looking forward to?

Living 101 and Othe Great Magazines

While picking up some groceries and other miscellaneous Junk at Safeway on Friday, I came across Living 101. It's published by the same folks who publish Sunset, which is a magazine dedicated to living in the West, which is great for me (obviously).

This magazine isn't specifically about western living, though. It's about being young and having not so much $$ and quite a bit of time (since we're sans kids, as of yet) and making the most of it. It features low budget projects and travel and tips on gardening without a real garden. A primer on living for the >30 set. It's only available on newstands right now, but I'm loving it and I hope they start publishing it reguarly.

I'm getting more and more into magazines and I now find myself with a bunch of favorites that I like to pick up. Continue reading “Living 101 and Othe Great Magazines”

We're Calling Him Squatter

This little bird just showed up on our front porch one night and has kept coming back. I guess it’s a pretty nice place if you are a bird. It’s up in the air; the lights on porch attract a lot of bugs; and it’s very dry. The only problem is he makes a little bit of mess. Well, I guess we can forgive him that. Anyway, he’s welcome to stay as long as he wants, he won’t even be expected to clean up after himself.

We're calling him “Squatter.”

Peaches

There are few things in this world I like better than a nice ripe peach … they are my most favorite fruit (strawberries rank a close second) and they're a big reason I love summer so much. Knowing this, my sis gave me peach lip balm for my birthday. I also made peach shortcake this summer when I got some paticularly good peaches.

So I thought I'd take today to share some peach recipes and some peachy lyrics.
