Everything Including The Kitchen Sink

I was processing our photos from Santa Barbara, when I realized that I hadn’t blogged about everyday life since June 9th!  I haven’t been very good about blogging our lives in 2012.  I’m a little sad about that because that’s one of my favorite things to look back upon on my blog.  I love the photos and stories that come out of everyday life.

Food

After looking at my food photos, I’m quite surprised that I even maintained my weight.  I probably should have gained 5 lbs.

On Sat 6/9 we went to the outlet mall in Carlsbad.  Had lunch at San Sai Japanese Grill.

The food LOOKS good, but it wasn’t that great.  The chicken was ok, but the tempura was too bready.

Homemade pico de gallo with avocados?  Yes please.

One of my favorite ice creams is Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia.  I love the amaretto cherry flavor, with chocolate bits.  But we buy the smallest container possible and share it.  Otherwise it’s bad news for the waistline!

Speaking of ice cream, on Friday 6/15 we had an ice cream social at work to celebrate being named 2012 Top Technology Innovator by San Diego Magazine.  We got catered gelato and sorbets, and the lines were long.

We went to The Habit for hamburgers for dinner.  Here’s a Todd Shot

Our favorite shave ice in San Diego is Waihini Kai’s pink lemonade with ice cream and azuki beans in the middle.  Got to have it on 6/20.

Noodle

This cat cracks me up.  He’s the best. 
His favorite human food is roasted turkey.  On 6/9 we made turkey mole tacos for dinner.  Thus he was the beneficiary of a few bites of roasted turkey.

Ah.  The boys are full and hanging out on the couch.

Noodle may be very cute, but he’s not very modest.

Doing his best “Whatcha talkin’ about Willis?” expression.

Friends

On Sat 6/9 our friend Dejah was MC’ing at the Filipino American Cultural Festival in Oceanside.  She had very elaborate costumes.

On Sunday 6/17 we went to dinner at Tender Greens with Monika.  We tried the charcuterie plate.

Rocked out at church.

And we gave Monika a deck of Hello Kitty Uno cards for her birthday.

Running

With all the eating, there’s also the exercising.  We went to Lake Miramar twice to run and walk.  As usual, very nice scenery.  This was Sunday 6/10.

And we went for a walk after work on Wed 6/20, to celebrate Summer Solstice.

Crafting & Organizing

I got some new stamps and new inks, so I went to town.

I spent almost the whole weekend of Sat 6/16 and Sun 6/17 purging and organizing my craft studio.  Here are a couple of photos of the “after”.  I still need to do a blog post about the organization process.

  1. I always feel famous when I make the blog. :) I want a crown like Dejah's! I'm going to have to work on my Miss Vietnam campaign....jk My mom really wanted me to enter a miss vietnam pageant when I was younger. Um never mind I dont speak vietnamese and all the other contestants are full. Funny, but it seems like most of the contestants actually look half white .. because so many of them have nose jobs. (Just like all the girls in the vietnamese supermarket calendars)
