I have decided to blog everyday. Yes, this goal sounds lofty, considering my last post was in October and it is now December, but I have very good intentions. While the challenge to myself is to blog daily, if I miss a day I won't really mind (but if I miss two ...), and if I'm on vacation then I am off the hook. Aside from that, here's to starting off the new year early with daily blogging!
Post I
I love to grocery shop. I know I've mentioned it before, but it really does get me that excited. I'm sitting here, in a home that is icy cold, drinking hot chocolate with a snuggly blanket and feeling excitement that I get to grocery shop. Grocery shopping is a very big deal for me. First, I allot a budget for myself to spend at the store, then I think through meals, ingredients I will need, sometimes I even make lists that I rarely use. When I'm there I almost always try to fit flowers into my budget (probably not the best habit), and I find myself excited by things like berry flavored sparkling water for 99 cents or food samples that leave a fragrance to, or not, be desired (depending on the sample that day). The other day I got enough cilantro to open my own Mexican restruant for 50 cents, naturally, this was exciting. I've had better cilantro, though ...
Either way, today is grocery day! (Don't worry, I don't shop on the exact same day every week). Now, if only I didn't have a ton of reading for my 1:30 class and two hours of work to fit in. That's the problem with grocery day, there's rarely time.
Because I'm always looking for good recipes, let me know if you have any!
Until tomorrow --

Ah, hot chocolate on a chilly day! That's the best, especially when it's from Cadbury. :-)
I'm wondering, how cold does it have to be in SoCal to break out the hot chocolate and snuggly blankets?
I hope you're doing well! It's neat to see that you decided to go the grad school route.
Haha! It has been in the upper 40's and lower 50's. Us SoCal people find this to be brutally cold. Honestly, though, it is cold. Not because we are used to 60's and up, but because we don't dress for anything below sixty. It's our fault. I like the cold, though. It makes it feel like Christmas. And Cadbury hot chocolate sounds wonderful -- that could add to my holiday season for sure!
I'm enjoying grad school, but it's not as glamorous as I thought. It can be tough to work and do school, but I'm thankful for a job and that I get to be learning something new! I still want to do the writing thing someday ...
Good to hear from you! I hope you're well. Merry Christmas to you and Dave! :)
