Pretty good. I have high hopes for the week.
It’s called Union City, a suburb of San Francisco and Oakland. Growing up there in the ’80s and early ’90s there was literally NOTHING to do except go to the drive-in (the closest decent mall was 15 minutes away), and eventually even that was leveled for a strip mall and a Wal Mart.
I have a weakness for Apple stuff and photography doo-dads…
Only if Tabs counts. 🙂
Minimal makeup right now: MAC Studio Fix Lash Mascara (lemme know if you want to see a review)/Clinique Superbalm Gloss in Grapefruit/Benefit Coralista
Ha, more than a few times! I’d always add a few songs recorded straight off the radio, too. The hardest part was getting songs without the DJ talking over them!
Garlic fried rice with spicy chicken sausage from Trader Joe’s. For fiber (hey, gotta keep it real!), I’ll slice whatever fruit is in the ‘fridge and have it for dessert.
Even though they’re super high maintenance, a big fat YAY!
Dark skinny stretch jeans from Old Navy, a striped teal tank top and a gray zip-up hoodie.
Cardio at least three times, approach everything I try to do from a place of relaxation and joy (sounds cheesy, but it really helps!), drink plenty of water, break in the black platform sandals I found at Marshall’s yesterday, and remind myself of my strengths whenever I feel like focusing on my faults.
Good morning, love bugs! Tabs and I just got back from our walk. I sipped some green tea while he and the calico down the street stared each other down for five minutes. To cats that’s exciting stuff!
I hope your Monday got off to a good start and that everyone around you treats you kindly today. It always helps set the tone for a good week. If you have a second between the tasks on your to-do list, let me know what’s new with you.
Just copy and paste the following list in the comments with your answers. 🙂

Hi Susie,
Nice to meet you. What island do you live on?
I live on Oahu. Lived here for about 6 years now but originally from Cali (Bay Area and Central Valley).
I remember reading in your earlier posts that you have family out here and visit every once in a while. 🙂
.-= Susie’s last blog post… The New Workout Plan =-.
Yah, my husband’s fam is from Oahu (Windward side). We were just there over Christmas. 🙂
Do you like living there?
I live in Makiki. Near Ala Moana mall. I do like living here, mainly for the weather and all the freinds I’ve made (plus the food. OMG I love me some plate lunches) but not gonna lie I miss Cali! I was just there visiting family in January and even though it was cold I was so happy to get to wear boots and a cute coat. 🙂
Have a great rest of your Monday. Feels so nice to be getting off work!
.-= Susie’s last blog post… The New Workout Plan =-.

You have a wonderful week!

You can’t beat a $5 sweater, seriously. I made a promise to myself to stop shopping in the junior’s section but I can’t when the shirts at Marshalls are like $12, oy!
And you’re rocking Cyndi today, yay!
Yeah whenever I try to buy “grown up clothes” it never works out because places like the limited and BR are so expensive, lol. And I am loving Cyndi! Wore it to work today!
I know! My whole thinking is that at any given time I’ll gain/lose weight, so why buy expensive clothes when they’ll just go out of style anyway? I’d rather spend the money on shoes and makeup. 🙂
Glad to hear you’re loving Cyndi. Are you wearing it alone, or with other accoutrements (lip liner/gloss)?
I just had to comment–I too, LOVE a Cyndi lip. It’s my new fave. Plus, with all of the coral make up looks popular for the summer, I’ll be on trend for a while! I sometimes top it with the coral colored lip blast gloss from CG, or a red or orange gloss from LipFusion. Would also be great with clear Lipglass–I like a glossy look…
I love Cyndi with clear Lipglass — that’s my fave.
LOL, I find it hilarious that I will spend like 30 bucks on a blush but won’t spend 40 bucks on a shirt.
I have only worn it once and I wore it alone! I might try topping with a gloss next time, just need to figure out which one…
1. Mood: Really excited because my internet is finally working again after like 2 weeks! I was going through major withdrawals, y0.
2. Where’s your home town? Chinatown, Honolulu, Hawaii. Still living here. It’s gone from super seedy to artsy fartsy in the 20 years I’ve been here.
3. Are you a gadget girl? Hmm, not really. My phone is a Nokia POS and it gets knocked around all the time. No love.
4. Do you have any children? Nope, unless you count my dog and my lovebird.
5. Eyes/lips/cheeks: None yet, but probably something green on my eyes because I have a concert tonight and green is one of our University’s colors. I’m such a dork.
6. Have you ever made a mix TAPE for someone? No, but I used to make mix tapes for myself. Haha.
7. What’s your default hurry-up dinner dish? This is going to sound so bad, but cereal. It’s so easy! Pour the milk, pour the cereal (yes, I’m backwards) et voila! Foods.
8. Glossy red lips: yay or nay? I’ve never tried them, but they seem like they’d be uber high maintenance…
9. Outfit: Tshirt and sweats.
10. Weekly goals: Get organized! Homework, and basically just make it through the week. Eleven more to go this semester!
Oh lawd! Two weeks without internet… I think I’d end up with the shakes.

Symphony for Band (how’s that for nondescript?) by Morton Gould, Galactic Empires by David Gillingham… umm… Diamond Head March by Raphael Mendez, Danny Boy arranged by Neil McKay, one of the professors at UH, and Blue Shades by Frank Ticheli. I can’t believe I remembered all that without looking at a program. BG for life!
YES YOU ARE! Want to know something funny? I still have sheet music from stuff I played in um, 1992. So does my BFF.
Haha! I so have sheet music from when I started playing too, circa 1999-2000. I don’t even know why I keep them. Memories, I guess.

I think it’s really great how so many MBB readers are from different age groups. 🙂 For me teenager-hood was a long time ago, but friends like you keep me feeling young!
hahaha thanks 🙂 i love beauty, and my friends love it, too because they are obsessed with all the nick-nacks I splurge on!

7. What’s your default hurry-up dinner dish? Take out. Hahaha. Probably pasta with whatever I have in the fridge.
8. Glossy red lips: yay or nay? Yay. I’m not brave enough for opaque, fire engine red, but I do love a sheer bright red gloss.

10. Weekly goals: Do well on my Wednesday exam and do laundry for Spring Break in the Keys!
Le list
1. Mood: jumpy and a tad sad. IT’S MOVING DAY! (i’ve lived in asia for almost five years but i’m returning to the US for graduate school… a big change, but a thrilling one!) i am also a little bit excited because i have been saving especially for months to hit MAC in the duty-free…
2. Where’s your home town? boston. love that place but haven’t lived there in years.
3. Are you a gadget girl? not so much, but i am a little bit addicted to the internet.
4. Do you have any children? no. i like kids but don’t want any.
5. Eyes/lips/cheeks: flying face! over LOTS of heavy moisturizer (origins make a difference ultra-rich rejuvenating cream) only MAC bare study paintpot, a tiny bit of MAC notable blush, and kiehl’s lip balm #1 in coconut.
6. Have you ever made a mix TAPE for someone? oh yes, all the time in grade school! i remember when this was the very height of showing that you cared.
7. What’s your default hurry-up dinner dish? raw tofu, cucumbers, and tomatoes wrapped in seaweed sheets into little bites. takes 5 mintues to prepare and also about five minutes to eat. i like it with mustard or kimchi, but not both together! and fruit for dessert.

9. Outfit: black skinnies and an old, old navy blue t under my black leather jacket and a blue and white tie dye circle scarf from american apparel. with black ballet flats. must be comfortable on the plane but wouldn’t dream of flying in sweats.
10. Weekly goals: technology detox! when i get back to the US, i’ll take a two-week break from internet and telephone. this sounds pretty impossible to me, but i am going to try…
Congrats on getting into grad school! What will you be studying?
Mood: Pleasant – working hard to keep the cold damp weather from making me feel a little blah. I’m so ready for sunshine and warmth. A couple of my herb plants have teeny sprouts. =)
Where’s your home town? I grew up in Houston and Tulsa. Both places with very different mentalities than where I live now (Dallas). However, my driving skills fit in here as I learned to drive on the 610 Loop which isn’t for the faint of heart.
Are you a gadget girl? Not really. I loved my older i-pod which died which leaves me with a hand me down shuffle. I could care less about texting and can barely use my BlackBerry – more due to a lack of interest. I have a Wii that I have yet to connect to my TV – which took me 2 months to schedule delivery because I couldn’t decide on the TV stand I wanted. I only bought a blue ray player because the price was right during a Christmas sale.
Do you have any children? No kids. But I do have a dog. But I refuse to let them call me mom when I pick her up at the groomers or the vet.
Eyes/lips/cheeks: Bobbi Brown eyeshadow and gel liner. I wasn’t paying attention this morning (said dog would not go out in the rain which made me late) so I left the house without blush and mascara. So I looked very pale and faded today. Just some Bigelow mentha lip balm on the lips.
Have you ever made a mix TAPE for someone? LOL who didn’t?? Some even had themes. And it was hard to time it just right to cut out the DJ’s voiceovers.
What’s your default hurry-up dinner dish? I either make something like chili or spaghetti sauce on Sundays or a main protein in the crockpot on Monday. This morphs into other meals for the week by adding other vegetables or sides. Example, today I have beef stew in the crockpot. Thin it out with broth/water it becomes soup. Add some red wine vinegar and sour cream becomes stroganoff. Take the meat out of the broth/vegetables, becomes a baked potato topper.
Glossy red lips: yay or nay? Yay- love the look. But it’s hard to keep up all night.
Outfit: Now that I am hope from work, warm cozy sweats and thick socks. I couldn’t get warm for anything today.
Weekly goals: Eating fish 3x’s this week. Sleeping at least 8 hours. Walking 30 more minutes at least 3 times this week. Getting tiny details off my plate at work while my boss is away.
I’m sure you are more than relieved about the tsunami turning into a non-issue for Hawaii and your family. I can emphathize. Even though I have left Houston, most of my family still lives there including several below the evacuation zone, and it is very, very hard watching and waiting with no control.
Have a great week!
Hi JJ,
Yes! Both El Hub and I were really anxious that day… glad it turned out to be a whole lot of nothing. 🙂
Funny you should mention crock pot cooking. I just found mine (it had been MIA ever since the move a few months back) and was thinking about firing it up. What do you put in your beef stew?
Super easy by adding all to the crockpot….stir together a chopped onion; 2-3 diced carrots; 2-3 diced celery ribs; 2-3 peeled and smashed garlic cloves; can of tomato paste; can of diced tomatoes; about 3/4 box beef broth (can substitute about 1 cup red wine if you have it); couple of bay leaves; leaves off a few sprigs of thyme; salt. Add 3-4 lbs beef (stew meat, cut up chuck roast, oxtail – your choice). Top with a package of mushrooms. I leave it on low all day. I just can’t put potatoes in mine – I can’t get past the color they turn absorbing the liquid and juices although I’m sure they would be tasty. It doesn’t seem like leftovers; I have base proteins all week which lessens the temptations for take out by Thursday night….
