M.I.A.

I've gone a little M.I.A. in the blog world over the past few weeks. I guess I've been enjoying this glorious thing we call life a lot more. Here's a quick update with what's been going on with me:

1. No big deal, but... I GOT A JOB!!! Woop! You can call me a career woman now ;) I just finished my second week and so far so good!

2. We moved into another apartment (subletting, fun stuff!). It's a lot bigger than the first and only two blocks away from Dolores park!

Dolores Park (love taking a book here on a sunny day!)

2. I've been spending quality time with some of my best girls. I'm lucky enough to have a couple close ones in/near the city, so we've been taking advantage. Nights out, shopping (I had absolutely NO professional clothes, jeeze!) and just relaxing and enjoying each other's company.

3. I went back to Sacramento since having the car in the city was a pain in the arse. I had a lovely visit with my fam ♥. I got to see the house my sister and brother-in-law just bought, and hung out with the people I love most in this world.

4. Keg-a-thon... need I say more?



My spirits are high and I finally feel like everything and my life in the city is coming together. Hooray!

Blogger Award

My blog friend, Sean Marie, over at A Madgirls Lovesong included me in her blogger award post despite my disappearance in blogland lately. This little lady is a newlywed and soon to be mom! Exciting things ahead for her :) I thought I'd play along in the Blog Award game? because, well, I don't really have much else to do on this Sunday morning.

The rules after accepting this award are:

• Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to them in your post (Shoutout to Sean!)
• Share 7 things about yourself
• Pass this award on to 15 recently discovered blogs (I only did 10 because I haven't branched out with the blog readings in quite some time).
  

1. Run With Scissors - CRAFTY. This one is talented. She can make anything and everything! And she and her hubby are currently in the adoption process. So exciting!

2. Cakies - Aside from having the three most adorable girls, she is such an amazing mom and so creative. I have to add that they may have the best looking family ever.

3. These Happy Miles - I sit on my arse reading her blog while she's out running marathons and blogging about them.

4. keeping up with kelly & co. - This girl's got the life! She's always going on so many fun weekend getaways.

7. BG :: life and design - Another blog my hermana kinda sorta got my reading. She followed her wedding blog way back when... then discovered my real-life friend, Chelsey, was friends with her! I love her blog and now she's expecting too! There are going to be so many babies in the blog world :)

8. Meals & Steals - Went to high school with this one :) Blogs about healthy eatin' and shopping deals.

10. Captain's Log - My new sis-in-law! Love her and love this blog :)

Now, on to me :) 7 Things...

1. Things always seem to work out for me (crap, I hope I didn't just jinx it!). And I honestly believe I can do anything I set my mind to.

2. I'm a wanderer. I've moved to a different city every year for the past six. Redding, Corning, Sacramento, Dublin, Sacramento, San Francisco... ?

3. I was quite the athlete in my younger days. I got recruited to play volleyball, basketball and softball after high school (Okay not actually legit recruited, just at junior colleges).

4. I'm picky ;) This is the longest amount of time I've gone being single, but this has also been some of my happiest times.

5. I was born at home and lived in that same house for 17 years.

6. I'm the middle child and clearly had middle child syndrome growing up :/

7. I'm an introvert living in an extrovert's body. When I tell my friends I'm an introvert, they laugh. Maybe I'm both? But seriously I'm a homebody and that's something that most people don't know nor believe.
