Meet the Husband

November 22, 2011

Today is my husband Matthew’s birthday!  This post is in his honor. Since the birthday boy is far too modest to ever speak highly of himself, I’m going to brag a little on his behalf, because bragging is what I do best (if I do say so myself).   Meet my husband: Years ago, I […]

Five Things I Think Unfairly Get a Bad Rap

November 4, 2011

Is it bad “rap” or bed “rep”?  Does anyone actually know? Moving on. I am certainly not above calling things out when I just don’t understand them.  However, I also think that certain things get unfairly judged as stupid, difficult, or confusing, when they just aren’t. 1.  Tofu.  If you really don’t like the taste […]

How I Cook Spaghetti Squash

October 30, 2011

My love for autumn extends well past an adoration of fuzzy sweaters, blazing fires, and crisp notebook paper.  It brings me back to designing my own Halloween costumes (“No Mom, Cinderella wore glass slippers…these are white!”), raking leaves in my grandparents’ front yard (at $1 per bag…I think I was underselling myself), and the smell of vegetables roasting […]

My Failed Business Ventures

October 27, 2011

Even at the fairly green age of 26, I can look back at a few humorous and entertaining “business” ventures that went south.  I hope one day to write a post about some successful business endeavors, but for now, at least I can learn from my mistakes. Age:  6 Business:  Selling stickers in the hallway Concept: […]

What Job Descriptions Really Mean

October 25, 2011

Because of my recent relocation to Seattle, I am no longer gainfully employed.  Let me tell you, this is not going down well with my dad.  Couldn’t you tell from the photos? He’s Asian.  Asian dads expect you to have a well-paying job when you come out of the womb. I digress (hey, I’m part […]

Things My Father Taught Me

October 21, 2011

My dad turns 60 next week.  I sent a card but didn’t quite know what to do for a gift, after suggesting several vacation destinations that are, admittedly, merely places I selfishly want to visit. My dad hasn’t always been the dad I have often wished him to be.  Father of the Bride he was […]

Top 10: Favorite Beauty Products

October 17, 2011

Let me be clear:  I don’t assume any sort of authority in matters of beauty.  I know I’m no Kate Middleton.  I do, however, claim experience of trial and error with a multitude of beauty products. This is my list if I ever had to seriously answer the question about what beauty products I would bring […]

An Open Letter to Kate Middleton

October 13, 2011

Hi Kate, May I call you Kate?  I know “Middleton” is not technically your surname anymore, but my ego has a hard time addressing you as Duchess Catherine. You see, I’m a little bitter, because you’ve stolen my life.  Well, the life that my 15-year-old self was sure she would one day have, anyway. For […]

Organized: Digital Photo Project

October 11, 2011

You may know by now that I am a hopelessly addicted list maker.  I practically have lists of the lists I want to make, and I’m only half kidding. Among my pile is a list of “One Day” projects.  These projects mostly pertain to household organization, like creating a recipe binder, and equally straightforward-yet-time-consuming tasks […]

Eating Vegan: Three Lessons

October 6, 2011

My vegan experiment is going well.  I say “going” because I’ve actually decided to extend it a bit. I like the new recipes I’m finding. I like the structure it is bringing to my diet and the boundaries it is making me consider. I like being a pain in the ass around my husband. Sure, […]
