Run Eat Repeat

While I am not willing to put a “Satisfaction Guaranteed” label on Run,Eat,Repeat – I did have a satisfaction related revelation today.

Even talking about this breaks…

I don’t know if I mentioned it earlier, but this week and next I am working for my old job from California. They needed some help and I can telecommute, so I have been a busy bee! I worked for a recruiting company in CA through most of college and stayed on board full time for a while after graduating…

I finally combined my two loves beans and sweet potatoes! My mom says sweet potatoes were my favorite baby food and I have been raised on beans, so it only makes sense. Caitlin has sworn by this combo, but I was hesitant to try it since I didn’t think I liked baked beans. Well, turns out I LOVE this combo!…
