if only fortune cookies really had all the answers

Today, a miracle happened. Lately I have been trying to figure out what I should be doing with my life. Granted I'm almost 25 and should know by now what I want to do when I grow up. But I have this thing where I get the itch to do something new every 6 months... and guess what folks, its just about that time. So anyway, I was talking to my mom about it earlier and right when I got off the phone I had 2 simultaneous event happen:

#1 I thought to my self, "what should I do with my life??!"

#2 I spotted a beautiful fortune cookie that had yet to be eaten.

So naturally, I cracked it open and lo and behold, my fortune read "YOU WOULD MAKE A GOOD LAWYER." I think it was a sign from the fortune cookie god. If only fortune cookies really had all the answers.

San Francisco

I went to San Francisco a couple of weekends ago to meet up with some friends. Seriously, so much fun. We rented bikes and rode across the golden gate bridge, then I ate the most amazing sandwich of my life (so good i posted a picture of it), and then we rode the ferry back and walked around. It was such a good time. I love beautiful sunny days in California.

some thoughts

1. Remind me again why i'm NOT living in California??! I went to San Francisco last weekend (pictures coming soon) and it was beautiful and sunny and I couldn't remember why I thought it was a good idea to move to Salt Lake. I also got to ride a bike across the golden gate bridge on that beautiful and sunny day and I am now in love with road bikes. I'm saving up and i'm going to buy one. And then i'm going to become a triathlete... and then i'm going to bike down the coast of California... (and get really skinny while i'm at it).

2. I'm so glad I have snowboarding to get me through the winter. Even though I HATE the cold, I do love snowboarding... and i'm glad I got a season pass this year. I've been able to go up a few times in the last couple of weeks and its been AMAZING. I'm not good by any means, but something about riding super fast down the face of a mountain of snow kind of makes me giddy inside.

3. Sometimes I still can't believe I'm a flight attendant. I was in Pasco, WA the other night, walking from the plane to the airport and I thought to myself, "This is so weird. I'm in some random city, with three people I hardly know and who I'll be spending the next 4 days with... and I'm a flight attendant??? Weird." I'm not sure how I ended up doing this, but I think its pretty radical. It may not be the most prestigious job in the world, but I think its pretty neat for now.

4. Really, 15??? So, the other flight attendant and pilot went to the hotel bar/restaurant tonight to grab some drinks. I met up with them after they'd been there for a bit to get a diet coke and get out of my hotel room for a little while. Well, they were chatting with an older fellow when i got there so naturally, he and I struck up a conversation when I joined the group. He was a nice man, from atlanta, doing some science research at a local university. I can't remember exactly what the he said but I could tell he thought I was younger because he made some comment about the Diet Coke I ordered (like I wasn't old enough to drink or something). He later asked how old I was, and when I said I'd be turning 25 next month, he LAUGHED OUT LOUD from the shock. "How old did you think I was," I asked. And he quickly responded, "15." REALLY??! 15 years old!! I look like a SOPHOMORE in High School??!!! OH geez.

baby benson

I finally got to meet baby benson. How cute is this little guy!?! He was born on Dec. 22, and Chris and Mikelle are now proud parents of four. Aren't little babies are the sweetest?

SHARK ATTACK!!!

So, along with my obsession with robots, I also love sharks... I got this idea in my head to make shark mittens for a friend for Christmas, and this is what I came up with. I'm pretty dang proud of them. I probably should've made some for myself. Anyway, I just wanted to show them off... Hope you all have a Sharktastic Christmas!

San Francisco

I got to spend a couple of days in San Francisco last week for work. The airport was madness and it was actually a pretty frustrating weekend, but I got to see my friend Spencer and it made it all worth it. He was nice enough to take us to Union square, which was BEAUTIFUL. I seriously love the Christmas season. I think it makes everything seem a little bit more magical. Anyway, we walked around a bit, went shopping, and then ate the most amazing burger ever. It was FANTASTIC!!!!

tea for two and two for tea

I've been really into tea lately... There's nothing like a hot chamomile citrus tea to warm you up on a cold wintery night. And the cafe across the street from my house gives you the BIGGEST mug you'll ever see in your life. I love it.
