I have returned

Enough of my absence. I miss my blog. I am back! The last time I blogged, was the last day of my rash of unemployment. Once I got my job back and hooked up with a great boyfriend and moved and started traveling a whole bunch and went back to school, I suddenly ran out of time. In the past 8 months, I have: been to Canada for the Olympics; danced on-stage with a band; started taking Russian but the dropped out but then decided to take it again; drank over 25 types of beers; and fell in love. Mushy, mushy. Hi Mikey! I love you my little otter-bear.

Just had a brilliant idea! Two ideas, actually. I'm currently in the process of become a certified professional Spanish/English translator and it would be great practice to post in both languages. I'm gonna check with theppk.com and see if it would be better two have one blog for each language, or to have one blog in both languages? Please tell me what you think.

Also, I gonna start a little series on a topic about which very little is written. Cooking at work! See, I do not enjoy fast food, I like healthy stuff. I keep a couple of staples at work so that if I forget to bring a home cooked lunch, I can cook at work. I am not a chef. I wish! I work in an office, for a website. With some simple utensils, basic ingredients, water, a microwave and an open-mind, I've come up with some very interesting and delicious concoctions: peanut butter potato soup, sriracha peanut butter sauce, steamed greens... What I find so cool about this is that it's fun and I feel good plus lunch only costs me a quarter with these top-secret tips. This series will introduce to you my unconventionality. I've been wanting to do this for a while. Plus, I just opened my one gallon canned pumpkin and this will be a great way to use it up.

Well, I better start cooking! I promise at least one post before the end of the week.
