I’m on a Customer Service Kick.

I went to the bank due to some pressing business; I had to turn in new signature cards for a non-profit I am working with. All I had to do was give the papers to the one representative in charge of business accounts. Our encounter (no lie) went like this!
2:06pm: I walk in and notice Mary [...]
Cocos is for Puffs

We went to Coco’s for dinner tonight. We go there partly out of convenience, and mostly because I love their Cobb Salad. EVERY time we are there, we ALWAYS complain about the service. Really, does it take 15 minutes to bring us a take out box?! Tonight, Evan asked why we come here so often [...]
A bad morning.

Do you ever have those days where you just should have stayed in bed? Yep. That was this morning. My alarm sounds at 5:00am and I put in on snooze until 5:39am. Then I took a cold shower. I think the water heater didn’t want to wake up either. I was late to my 7:00am class [...]

In 10th grade Chemistry, Annalise Sparkuhl (my BFF and Partner-in-Crime since we have been out of diapers) got a 96% on a test (when, might I add, she never studied!) I only got a 70% (when I studied for weeks on end). Anna has always had this extraordinary talent for falling asleep on her open [...]
My Husband, The Blogger.

In order to form a more perfect union, my husband has now developed a blog. I originally formed this website as a soundboard for the both of us, but he created Eastman’s World (you can access the website from my blogroll). Eastman’s World, is an excellent attempt at showcasing life’s small subtleties that make being [...]
“In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.”-Atwood

We have had an early spring here in Riverside, Cali. Spring always seems synonymous with new beginnings: spring cleaning, spring fling (let’s face it, it’s mating season), and the all important essential spring wardrobe (who can resist white linen pants?). The past couple of weeks have also been filled with some new beginnings and fresh [...]
The Upside Down Question Mark

I got a 74% on my Spanish test. To say I am devastated would be appropriate. Anyone wanna guess why, I bombed this test? I forgot to put in the stupid upside down question marks and accents that have no rhyme or reason (as far as I know) to where they are placed. Okay, now [...]
Our First Year Anniversary!
Posted in Uncategorized on March 11, 2007 | 2 Comments »
We celebrated our first year anniversary this weekend. We headed to Huntington Beach and lazed the afternoon away. We later went to dinner and had a wonderful time reminiscing about our wedding day and eating a bite of our year-old wedding cake (kinda disgusting). It was a fun day and we are looking forward to [...]

So, I was a bridemaid in one of my bestfriend’s wedding. It was a long, crazy, wonderful day and Evan and I were glad to spend the day with the new Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Strautman. Here are some pictures to highlight the day. Enjoy!
This is a picture of me getting dressed in the car. [...]
