Squirrel

today i went running. 

i've been doing that lately.

so i was running and

i was on my way up a hill when i saw 2 squirrels.

now usually i don't stop for squirrels 

{i stop because i get tired. lol}

but these two squirrels were in my path and they weren't moving

i must have stood there for almost 2 minutes watching these squirrels do whatever they do.

they just wouldn't move.

from my experiences ,

{in good ol' Tuolumne County} 

i have learned that if an animal such as a squirrel 

{or a possum in my case} 

is in your path, just keep going because if its smart, it will move.

if it's not so smart, it will get run over.

so after watching these squirrels doing their thing, i decided to take action and continue on my way.

i ran toward them, expecting them to move. 

well....

one did.

the other one climbed up a nearby tree only to charge me as i was running past. 

it missed me by a hair. 

hah.

talk about a flying squirrel. 

i screamed and kept running.

so all in a day, i almost got attacked by a crazy squirrel in Los Gatos.

life is interesting to say the least.

my time has come

My time has come. 

its time for me to learn to cook.

me, elyse? cook? for those that know me well...i'm not a cook

{to say the least}

i have been putting off cooking for as long as i can, but now it simply needs to happen. 

i can no longer eat tamales bought from grocery outlet. my body says no more.

i can no longer eat home made fried chicken. my body really says no to that one. 

and i can no longer survive off a bowl of popcorn 

{i do make some mean popcorn though :)} and cans of chili with corn muffins 

{i really like chili and corn muffins, but every other day is a little excessive}

its time to step up.

and so it begins...this scarry journey of learning how to cook in a kitchen that has the weirdest set up. 

so farrrrr....this site

the Neapolitan Pancakes look AWESOME!

Being that my two favorite foods are burgers and bacon, i thought why not start with the favs. 

plus, i want to start slow and easy.

Blue Cheese and Bacon Burger

Change

HELLO! long time no blog... 
Tirzah keeps reminding me on how i need to blog more, sooooo i thought "why not today"


This past week or two i have learned a lot about life and the changes it throws at you. 


I used to have a cork board in my room that had the definition of the word Change-
"Change (verb): to make or become different"


I don't think it's until something BIG in your life changes that you realize all the little events that have made you transform as a person.


Another epiphony: Change is ok. In fact, it can be a good thing. It might not always be the thing you want, but then again, it may just be the thing you need for a while. 


Another thing thats changing....my favorite show LOST! the season finale is tonight, so sad! but why not celebrate it with a LOST finale party?...
...i think so :)
