It's about time Blogger came out with an iPhone app. I just downloaded it tonight, and testing it out with this entry. It's pretty simple and user-friendly so far, and I'm hoping it'll come in handy when I want to share something here while I'm on the go.
It's been a challenging work week, and I'm just glad that the weekend is here. This will be our first weekend at home, as we've been traveling back and forth from here to SoCal these last few weeks. We don't have much planned for this weekend, except we have to do some major grocery shopping. Earlier this week, I came home to a funky stale smell, and my instincts led me to the fridge. I carelessly left our freezer drawer ajar when I grabbed an ice pack for my lunch bag that morning. It goes without saying that most of the freezer contents thawed out and melted. I didn't want to take a chance on cross-contamination, so I tossed out the few meat we had, as well as other food stuff, like ice cream and frozen veggies. So right now, the freezer is empty. And clean. Only I would do something like that.
After a whole week, I still have M.ayer Hawthorne's songs stuck in my head. I sing them out loud sometimes, but I don't think Sera likes that because she meows at me.
Ooh, it's late. I'm not used to staying up late anymore. I think we're going hiking tomorrow. Pics to follow.

It's Been Awhile...
J and I just came back from a fun-filled mini vacation in SoCal. We met up with some of our P.lurk and T.witter friends (Sun, Pete, Winnie and Liza) at Disneyland , and basically ate our way through SD with Liza, my college friends and my god sisters. As always, every moment together was spent eating delicious food, sharing stories, and crying from belly laughs. Totally my idea of fun!
So here I am now; back to reality. Work has been good so far, as I've settled into my new position nicely. The only drawback, really, is my commute. I've probably mentioned before that my commute is about 25 miles one way, and on a good day (read: no traffic), I can get to work in about 25-30 minutes. But since my start time is later, my commute time going to work and coming home are during peak commute hours. That means I travel almost 45 minutes to an hour one way. That's a lot of time on the road, isn't it? Mornings aren't so bad, but the evening commute is the worst. I'm usually tired that I just want to get home, put my feet up, and enjoy a glass of wine. Or, make it home on time to catch "The B.ig B.ang Theory" reruns, and I'd be happy with that.
I have to say, though,that Liza made my commute easier today. She introduced me to M.ayer Hawthorne, and gave me copies of his album (Thanks, Liza). Needless to say, I am hooked!! Like, let's-go-see-him-in-concert-nao hooked. I love the Motown vibe to his sound, and it's been awhile since I've enjoyed an album from beginning to end.
Anyway, I'm hoping I'll be able to update a little more often here, I guess if it's even just once a month. We'll see.
