Oh.My.Gosh. I found that elusive scone I had been searching for. The one I had heard rave reviews about over and over. I found it. And it may have changed the way I look at scones forever. I used to not be the biggest fan of scones. “Too dry” I’d say, “Not sweet enough”. I always reached for a muffin…

Defeats The Purpose
I asked Ben to cook dinner tonight. On the menu: Salmon burgers He cooked them, but as soon as I got home I pushed my way into the kitchen to finish preparing the fixings and ate a ton of chips in the process.

Lead Legs and Two A Days
This morning I couldn’t shake the lead out of my legs. My whole 6 mile run felt slow and difficult. Even when I wasn’t going uphill, I felt like I was going uphill. Does that make sense?

Back To School
I mentioned the other day that I was buying books for school. And I kinda owe you an explanation, so here it is… I have been thinking about going back to school for a long time, and now I am finally biting the bullet and going for it. I took the GRE over a year ago when I was…

Scone Search
This morning I was on a mission to find what I’ve heard to be the best scones in Orange County. As soon as I woke up I changed and went to a local bakery I’ve heard people rave about. But, they were closed 🙁 Boo. Defeated I went home and made breakfast… But not before stopping in at the grocery…
