We acquired a lot of produce over the weekend thanks to another Bountiful Basket from my mom, so we figured what better way to start using it all than by making homemade salsa? I used to work in a Mexican food booth on campus for a couple years, and while there, I learned how to make a simple …
New Hair, New Woman
Don’t you just love how a new haircut/color can just make you feel like reborn? With this new ‘do, I’m feeling a bit edgier…like maybe I’ll go to bed at 11 instead of 10:30 tonight. Rebellion, here I come! And just in case you were wondering what I’d look like with black teeth, here you …
Marathon Training, Week Eleven
Remember when I said that my motivation was directly proportional to the temperature outside? Well, apparently my suffering is also directly proportional to the temperature outside.
