New Blog Home

I love the way Tumblr is set up. I just made an account. Now to set it up and now it's time to give my blog a new home.

I just have a few questions I need to answer:

Should I move my blogger posts or just start fresh? I'm thinking start fresh...

Should I combine my food blog and my regular blog or make 2 separate tumblr blogs? I'm starting to think I should combine them...

Book Tour - Creative, Inc.


I'm so excited. I just went to Borders and ordered the book Creative, Inc. by Meg Ilasco and Joy Cho. I'm very sad it wasn't at Borders. In fact, they told me it's not in any Borders store. So the guy just helped me order it to be shipped to my house.

I follow Joy's blog Oh Joy! and Oh Joy Eats blog, as well as follow her on Twitter, and I must say, I am quite addicted to everything she posts. She has such colorful and creative items. Even food! Her Oh Joy Eats tweets are great. She's going to be in San Francisco for a mini book tour and I really want to go. It's going to be about a block and a half away from a BART stop, so that's even better. (I try and avoid going to the city unless it's easily accessible.)

I can't wait for the book to arrive. Please Mr. Postman, hurry up!

Dear 'N Sync, 

Can you please sing Happy Birthday to me instead of Rosie?

Thanks!

Make Me Whole

I love music. I love a wide range of music too. For me, music is an outlet to get away, de-stress, celebrate, release pain and emotions, and so much more. For some, it's a way to save themselves from their own selves. A lot of times it's the only way people know how to say what they really mean.

For me, that's exactly it. To me, songs are a great way to say how you really feel. For anyone that knows, my vows were a true train wreck. I really did have a point, but I could not get it out correctly. But hey, that made our wedding all the more personal right? I got to show my true self and how I'm such a mess. *sigh* If I did have enough courage, this was what I really wanted to do for my vows. This song felt perfect, at least to me. My close friend played for our ceremony, so it would have been perfect to just ask her to play this for me as well. Needless to say, I did not have enough courage to do this. I probably wouldn't have been able to finish without crying anyways.

What am I really like?

Normally, when I think of myself, I think of all the things I can/should improve about myself. For example, learning more, understanding better, being less hot-headed, relaxing more, etc. It's a little hard for me to see the good about me. Most likely due to a large insecurity that I have about myself. Yet another thing I need to improve about myself. Well, I finally got to get a glimpse of what other people around me think of me. In my opinion, that's always a good thing. I don't think it's a good thing if you think you're so perfect, or if you think you're a complete mess.
Two days ago, we were having dinner at the in-laws with the rest of the family. It came up that my sister-in-law thought I was the best sister-in-law ever. *tear* All of a sudden, it came out as to when my MIL and SIL realized I was a good person. First, we were talking about how I didn't give off a very good impression the very first time I met them. I was very nervous and a little irritated that my now-husband had invited me to meet the WHOLE family at a last minute dinner with no way to get around it.
My MIL then told me that the first time she realized I was a good person was at my BIL's wedding. I was actually very, very surprised. My BIL's wedding was very early on in our relationship. I remember the wedding being pretty hectic and voluntarily helping the girls out. I had felt surprisingly comfortable that day and was completely myself. I had a great time running around and helping them out. Not once did I think about what would or wouldn't impress his family.
Then my MIL told me that the second thing that really confirmed that I'm a good person was when she met my parents. I love my parents. I truly believe that they taught me how to be the best person I can be. Apparently it shows.
Finding out what my in-laws thought about me and how much they really did think I was a genuinely good person made me feel great. That must mean I'm doing something right.
