Breakfast......

of champions?  I beg to differ.

When I was in Greece, sitting on our private patio eating the delicious breakfast that was delivered, and set up for us every morning, my favorite was the Greek yogurt with fresh fruit.  Greek yogurt is a bit more thick and they serve it plain so I always added a bit of honey or jam- YUM!!!

Well guess what I bought at the store yesterday and enjoyed for breakfast:


AND...... it was honey flavored!  OPA!!!

This is the breakfast of the Greek Gods!

Lucky You!




Happy St. Patrick's Day!

You can tell I was bored at work when I get a thought like this and put a little design to it. 
 Feel free to put this on a t-shirt, just make sure you send me one!

Cafe Free-Yo!

Yesterday I ended the work day up in Bountiful. So instead of driving down to Holladay to get a quick work out then drive all the way back up to Bountiful by 6 to meet Jana for our weekly Temple Tuesday (granted it was changed to Wednesday because of Tuesdays lame dating "workshop"), I decided to relax a little and head over to Borders and then Starbucks.  All together now....

  "Aahhhhhh!"

Even better than that was after, when we went to Cafe Rio to feed our hungry souls and bellies.  It just so happened though that they were closing and cleaning the grill so we couldn't get our quesadilla.  no bueno. 
Instead we asked for a few tortillas to go with our queso (with chips and lots of pico).  

MUY BUENO!!


Now I may have taken Spanish a few (3) times in my life. I've gotten A's but that means nothing if you don't actually use it. I always forget it, hence the number of times I've tried learning.
But I will tell you this. You better believe I understood the guy when he said it was free!


"COMIDA GRATIS!"
(free meal for those of you who don't hablan espanol)

S O S


This week has been insane!  I mean INSANE!!  I have been completely busy every night and I still have 4 more days loaded.  My room is a mess and I might just need to call in some Relief Aid for Disaster Clean Up! If you want to see what Chile or Haiti looks like in person, just come over!
So what have I been doing? Well Monday I went to Westminster College to hear George Ayittey, PHD as part of the Weldon J Taylor Executive Lecture Series.  Georgy Ayittey is a brilliant man, distinguished Economist, and President of Free Africa Foundation.  He spoke mainly on the relationship between economic development, security, and freedom in Africa, mostly in relationship to the political system and tribes.  It was fascinating and very informative.
 I really enjoyed it.

Unlike last nights events. 

First it started off with a spin cycle at the gym where I learned the lesson of wearing dental floss undies. *note to self, the next time you go, wear granny panties with the biggest p-liner possible, your tush will thank you later! Now how's that for padding!
After the little bike session of peddling to the beat of some new age techno (which only made me imagine I was in the Castro biking up Twin Peaks) I ran home, threw my clothes in the giant mess of a room, and put on my girly face (and outfit) to head over to another lecture or "workshop".
It was awful!  
The entire time I kept saying to myself, and the girlfriends I came with, "Don't tell me something I already know ok!"  I swear I was in a SATC episode. The one where Charlotte needs more hope and turns to a self-help program.  She brings Carrie along to the lecture and asks the speaker why her affirmations aren't working. The speaker tells Charlotte she needs to put herself out there, but Carrie stands up for her friend and says,

"Believe me, she's out there."

We're all out there but there's only so much a girl can do until the rest is up to the man. We know how it works, but what we can't figure out is how to get IT.  Why don't the guys pursue, approach, hunt, all those things they are supposed to do and naturally do as men?
After the "what do girls think the guy thinks" charade, I was chatting with one of the girls over pizza and just how much we get it. We've been in this scene for so long, we could tell you story after story.We weren't told anything new or enlightening, other than a reminder that we were all (the 36 girls and 20 guys) single.

"If you stay single long enough, 
you're supposed to get wiser about dating; 
what men to pick, where to meet them. 
But what really made any of us experts?
Wasn't our single status 
a neon sign 
that we couldn't get it right?"
Carrie Bradshaw - Sex and the City

The only thing we did learn was that maybe we should have stayed home. Turned off our neon sign and called it a night.

MIA....again

I may fly like paper and get high like planes.......wait.......i mean.......
(I may or may not have purchased 3 flights to California this week, and it's only Wednesday! But we'll save that for another post) I am M.I.A., or will be for the next few days. 
You see, my sister is in town. And when she is in town, things happen. We plan, we play, we eat, drink, and are very merry! So instead of you biting your nails waiting for my next post, I am just letting you all know now that I won't be on for a few days..or 5. Unless, that is, something funny happens or we play tricks on the kids like that one time that was just hilarious or that other time that happens every time. You'd think they'd learn!

Any who, that is where i'll be.  Ooooh, maybe my little purchase will come and I can blog about that because I am SO excited!! ding ding!

40 days

or so....
I have decided to participate in Lent.  I've always been intrigued about it so I figure what better way to learn than to do?  So I have given up meat until April 3. For those of you who know me, I LOVE MEAT, especially steak or bacon. However, this has been really easy for me!
Also, I have made a little deal to see how long I can go wearing stripes. Yup, that's right, stripes.  So far it's been a week and I haven't had to rewear anything and I still have a lot to wear!  It's amazing how many outfits I've put together and pulled out items I hadn't worn in a year!

So next time you see me wearing stripes days in a row, and eating a head of lettuce, you'll know why!
