Toes toes in the water, ass in the sand, not a worry in the word, cold beer in my hand. In the days since I last checked in with the world, Daniel and I had a Jimmy Buffet/Zac Brown tribute, several Jeep excursions, a whole macoroni casserole, a random assortment of mildly un-nutritious foods (except … Continue reading

full friday
Today was full day which ended with full plate of meaty pasta. I don’t know about you, but I find it a touch irritating that when you need to buy herbs at the grocery, you have to buy them in enormous bouquets. I usually need a sprig or two, and I come home with a … Continue reading

… kabocha squash. I went to the store looking for a spaghetti squash to test an imagined recipe, but I’m learning that the commisary on post doesn’t restock as often as I get hairbrained cooking impulses. A vacant spaghetti squash crate wasn’t going to ruin my day though. I grabbed a kabocha squash (Japanese pumpkin) … Continue reading

Yesterday Daniel and I didn’t mind waking up at 4am if it meant moving out of the drab apartment hotel for good! We made the 30 minute, trafficless commute to catch a pre-sun run on the trail by our new place. It was so dark that I even got to wear a reflecting belt. 🙂 … Continue reading
i stand corrected
My mom and sister took serious beef with me talking about how I remember none of us really liking black-eyed peas. Some people develop allergies when they grow up, I guess my brother and sister developed a palate for peas; apparently the whole family had multiple helpings yesterday. All I can say is I hope … Continue reading
sunday, done day
This morning, Daniel and I woke to the sound of dog barking. Hey, whoever you are in room 210, could you kindly muzzle your pooch? Anyway, awake with coffee in hand, we activated our wifi hotspots to do some morning craigslist car shopping. Looks like Charlie-boy found an hotspot of his own. Before I go … Continue reading

… the Lord is come! I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! Daniel was a good sport about the morning scavenger hunt. In fact, after 50 minutes of looking he still refused clues! Yes, 50 minutes. You can almost taste the sweet satisfaction on dripping from his face as he peers affectionately at … Continue reading

After coffee, a workout, and packing up our lunches, Daniel and I scooted to the beach (the one we will be moving to in late January) to enjoy the afternoon. Although it doesn’t appear so, this beach is actually quite crowded. That is, if you count all my new turtle friends. Aside from turtles, the … Continue reading

Good news! Our rental application was accepted! Today we signed on the dotted line for rental on the North Shore! Pretty hard to believe we’ll be living less than a block from one of the most famous beaches in the world. With the house hunt complete, I have no excuses to post-pone the serious job … Continue reading
mo mochi, please
You may have noticed that it’s been two whole days since my last update. Computer priority has gone to house-hunting and updating my resume. Plus I’ve been cashing in late night blog-time for some extra zzz’s. Burning the midnight oil has finally caught up to me. Anyway, I’m back and instead of recapping the missed … Continue reading
