I flew out Wednesday evening and headed down to Aruba for Andre's birthday. After waiting three long months after booking the trip the day finally came to get on the plane. Once we landed our driver took us around the downtown and gave us a brief history about the town and all of the hotels we passed. I have to say my heart was beating looking at the crystal clear water to our left getting more eager by the moment to get settled in. <br /><br />I do have to say I was sad we didn't go see any of the island. Instead we layed under our tiki hut and read the majority of the trip. One day we went snorkeling on a pirate ship. We snorkeled a ship wreck, then moved to a coral section, and ended with an hour long swim session and jumping off the pirate swing. This was my favorite moment of the whole trip. <br /><br />I do have to say this was the most relaxing trip I have ever been on. The island was extremely clean everyone was beyond friendly and the food was probably the best sushi and seafood I have ever had. I plan to go back very soon!Little Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04099546523271932146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674037591449050739.post-9136741202860692862009-07-20T21:17:00.000-07:002009-07-20T21:31:40.430-07:00I did something i couldn't have done in the south....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6BXLJxwUtGV0_ETEKec_ANvDocWSDxuuWkC77yBkZO8AyF1Vrw4I1YROSikHSXZGUr5per_YX36NxjMzmCa91jfIBwbGb-iqB6uTbxZMTkHRpzFHvWglPIOVuF1vERO09AhVLaiLpdPc/s1600-h/sh"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 383px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6BXLJxwUtGV0_ETEKec_ANvDocWSDxuuWkC77yBkZO8AyF1Vrw4I1YROSikHSXZGUr5per_YX36NxjMzmCa91jfIBwbGb-iqB6uTbxZMTkHRpzFHvWglPIOVuF1vERO09AhVLaiLpdPc/s400/sh" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360766408830321074" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh38QZgjGhCWxc7gx8zzVlqYakbSQ-Xc5Re23qrAL51VOTpFA7KcKx3QvOXYlL4ItHQDu6qQxWKTtwA3V4ypMnBmt-swGHdUdvxbV3DS-88kDceiH5qM8mywIB-vTZfiNbqdGuJx_-wpUU/s1600-h/6176_1027132337955_1814709265_63555_1001802_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh38QZgjGhCWxc7gx8zzVlqYakbSQ-Xc5Re23qrAL51VOTpFA7KcKx3QvOXYlL4ItHQDu6qQxWKTtwA3V4ypMnBmt-swGHdUdvxbV3DS-88kDceiH5qM8mywIB-vTZfiNbqdGuJx_-wpUU/s400/6176_1027132337955_1814709265_63555_1001802_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360765998591638818" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdSlXvhOk6t0VitnxaOAEKykPYCe0o_ikBL-qNoZ46dQWJWwNWFH1bZrGdoXXUek02wRFYZzy7KvXzA1t-j-AUiZ7clT6Yy5W6Wxfl2Yll7yVF8y0I3B4cs8krPbs9EzEF0phc95G0904/s1600-h/6012_122915846409_780091409_3088200_3072512_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 340px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdSlXvhOk6t0VitnxaOAEKykPYCe0o_ikBL-qNoZ46dQWJWwNWFH1bZrGdoXXUek02wRFYZzy7KvXzA1t-j-AUiZ7clT6Yy5W6Wxfl2Yll7yVF8y0I3B4cs8krPbs9EzEF0phc95G0904/s400/6012_122915846409_780091409_3088200_3072512_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360765880972487298" /></a><br />... i went to a pride parade this weekend. Yes, that's true. I packed a bottle of champagne and met up with friends for an early breakfast in our gay district to go see the infamous San Diego Pride Parade. Now, please note, the weekend before we went to a gay bar (and those who have any questions- no I'm not wavering on wondering what team i play for- u just don't have to deal with the typical lush guys at a gay bar like you do everywhere else).. so needless to say i went into a gay bar and told a guy i didn't believe in gay marriage....yea you can only imagine how interesting that conversation was. So thus, was my invitation to the gay pride parade....I went. I supported. I was disappointed.Little Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04099546523271932146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674037591449050739.post-72061308395002650672009-06-16T20:41:00.000-07:002009-06-16T21:24:18.985-07:00I've been MIA latelyYes, I know. I have been MIA lately from posting on here. I suppose I'll start off with my test. After months and months of studying I am not so pleased to let everyone know I am still studying. The PMP test in one word, sucked. I now have opted to take my time over the next six months to really review each chapter (including all the new revisions that come out next month)and go back for round two with a new confidence that i can conquer this beast. <br /><br />Next update, I've got alot of traveling on my plate coming up and already behind me.Ok, ok, I'll finally post on this subject. I know this will be a contradiction of my statement I told many family members in FL recently, but my boyfriend just moved to NYC a month ago. Yup, you guessed it- we are trying long distance. So far it has been easy. Andre is great in the fact he isn't afraid to communicate, call, text or even IM as soon as i get into work to wish me a good day.Beyond that, it's finally great to have someone who understands my job in the IT world. Andre now works for Nokia in NYC on their web analytics team. He is amazingly smart! Just watch out when you are surfing the web at home or on your web because he is tracking you and creating marketing / IT reports based on where you visit! Two weeks ago after we both had long hard weeks at work we opted to take a last minute weekend trip to Denver. Denver was such a great city. There was a large festival downtown Denver that we walked to both Saturday and Sunday (before the massive hail storm) where we went wine tasting (gotta love that we wine tasted in the beer capital) and listened to all types of bands. It was great to finally kick off my flops and walk barefoot in cold grass!It was great to get work off our minds for once. For our the future our goal is to actually try and see one another at least 1-2 times a month- difficult but realistic. Any yes family, we are trying to plan a trip home so you can interrogate...opps i mean meet him :)<br /><br /><div><embed src="http://widget-33.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=3170534137689988915&site=widget-33.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3170534137689988915&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-33.slide.com/p1/3170534137689988915/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3170534137689988915&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-33.slide.com/p2/3170534137689988915/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3170534137689988915&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-33.slide.com/p4/3170534137689988915/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div><br /><br />Next update, I can't wait to get to Charlotte to visit Lauren and Denver!! That's my trip for this fall!! Lauren you think you are up for hosting Thanksgiving again?<br /><br />A random tidbt- I'm learning to Salsa dance! The first class is coming up around the corner...dun dun dunhhhhh. <br /><br />And finally, here's a picture of one of my girls group. Since I moved downtown I have started running around with some girls from my neighborhood. All young professionals like myself but all from very diverse backgrounds- From NorCal, MidWest, Britain, Chezk Republic and other places. These are some great gals! <br /><br />Last but not least- i just hit my 1 year mark at Bedrock Technology Partners and Qualcomm. If I make it 3 more months, which I plan to surpass way beyond that, then it will be my record at one job. I still love my job!! I actually got a great performance review and will be taking on a bigger role in one of my favorite projects.Little Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04099546523271932146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674037591449050739.post-28348364470921115422009-06-11T14:28:00.001-07:002009-06-11T14:28:58.175-07:00World-record yellowfin may be on the hook<a href=http://shar.es/gt3Z>World-record yellowfin may be on the hook</a><br /><br />Posted using <a href="http://sharethis.com">ShareThis</a>Little Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04099546523271932146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674037591449050739.post-54697579932404144672009-05-07T22:07:00.000-07:002009-05-07T22:13:30.306-07:00Can Cancer Campaign<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-pJvcn7QOB3OqC5h6oURvzGWzRiUZC9BqovYzDxV9JT7SGR82duyfBduSHBz_XfrPB8sYCFNC-KGl26uiy3C1nfF1-fS-fw0txEIaCft_LTZ3Sm1MQQCsSI7I7jCQfAJGHPEsPGu_15w/s1600-h/Can+Cancer+pictures+4-17-2009+9-40-04+AM.JPG"><img style="display:block;

This past weekend I tried a new place downtown with a friend. Of course i had to go for the bacon wrapped dates since this is my favorite tapas of all times but this place, Cafe Sevilla, had their dates stuffed with blue cheese (i'm getting hungry thinking about it).While we were at dinner the salsa dancers surrounded and entertained us. The food was amazing! The picture above is of their kabobs (sorry I couldn't see the camera I took my glasses off for the pic)_.... those kabobs were great. However, if this place isn't good enough you always can walk next door to the ceviche bar! I know my family definitely would love to eat there after all the ceviche we at during Christmas two years ago!! <br /><br /><br />http://www.cafesevilla.com/locs/sanDiego/!

Sorry house guests, you don't get to plop in front of the tube next time you come to visit me unless we stop off at Blockbuster first. Surprisingly, it hasn't been too difficult. I have the perfect transition time as I study- granted I really miss spending these May Gray days on the couch Saturday while I watch HBO.... crazy huh?Little Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04099546523271932146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674037591449050739.post-38229821965687876372009-04-21T20:18:00.001-07:002009-04-21T20:39:14.771-07:00Can Cancer Fundraiser<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicH2aJBrTf6fLV2doPuCmWUsV8qQ8QbigcsY5_LXSbxeZShPnviuLTczbZINRlZV3vbjxMi-9hn9gd7-Ly5G38hviWipW8rBzIqQmbjL6Uc_-eEj-_N9U5d4NZtF8KG96BWjHFcq29NqI/s1600-h/GetAttachment.aspx.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicH2aJBrTf6fLV2doPuCmWUsV8qQ8QbigcsY5_LXSbxeZShPnviuLTczbZINRlZV3vbjxMi-9hn9gd7-Ly5G38hviWipW8rBzIqQmbjL6Uc_-eEj-_N9U5d4NZtF8KG96BWjHFcq29NqI/s400/GetAttachment.aspx.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327352950210234098" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBOdplhpjzATa71BGm6hLwQAyJTJ4I4lm0RN7oVSjSPN2dmUP_Hptk4okb_Pdklt2DvOg7sKBzVu9vFaL7sMRH7pdOKgtXwbAk3PNuNu4geWtWZ0Nd1vD95c7wgHbfeUN8mvg-ixRzNU0/s1600-h/GetAttachment.aspx.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBOdplhpjzATa71BGm6hLwQAyJTJ4I4lm0RN7oVSjSPN2dmUP_Hptk4okb_Pdklt2DvOg7sKBzVu9vFaL7sMRH7pdOKgtXwbAk3PNuNu4geWtWZ0Nd1vD95c7wgHbfeUN8mvg-ixRzNU0/s400/GetAttachment.aspx.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327352054620420114" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR2cKHnLAsDqr7I-BJtHI7k7YNbXD-zAW0zhtaZAk9pdqThaxkiLdZr0EY1ut5Qhw592C4gjyORfPkc1bKS0bcEOIM5CmB9EjULeFVBviO7W_9JPu7fZGs0262ZertrOtPhQzCGINeTRA/s1600-h/GetAttachment-4.aspx.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR2cKHnLAsDqr7I-BJtHI7k7YNbXD-zAW0zhtaZAk9pdqThaxkiLdZr0EY1ut5Qhw592C4gjyORfPkc1bKS0bcEOIM5CmB9EjULeFVBviO7W_9JPu7fZGs0262ZertrOtPhQzCGINeTRA/s400/GetAttachment-4.aspx.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327352054826805890" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTz-tsJvsycDm4peXZc6NBmW5I3GUu8Q-axCpPLpHXW7ogg4ax2g-QxfCvZLG7WFyx0j7nZSzKLFP5QfkgvcvE_FMDS9KHO-EYyJr4akdz3XvDeBpEYuyruABMvlOtvquff2ykOHtl7Jw/s1600-h/GetAttachment-5.aspx.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTz-tsJvsycDm4peXZc6NBmW5I3GUu8Q-axCpPLpHXW7ogg4ax2g-QxfCvZLG7WFyx0j7nZSzKLFP5QfkgvcvE_FMDS9KHO-EYyJr4akdz3XvDeBpEYuyruABMvlOtvquff2ykOHtl7Jw/s400/GetAttachment-5.aspx.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327351572063263362" /></a><br /><br /><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ti5QRKYMfdo&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ti5QRKYMfdo&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br /><br />If my life was crazy enough last week I signed up for a last minute event. my friend at work approached me to help her sister out for a fundraiser for St. Jude. Of course I immediately said yes then asked for details. the details, I was going to be a punk rock model at a club the next night. So I showed up to the club and was immediately plopped into a chair to have my hair done. There probably was 7 other models all of whom sat down after me and got up before me to get their hair done. That's ok, I made a new gay best friend while i sat there for the 2 hours having my hair teased and yanked!! The first hair design I was given was a mowhawk- it was sick! However, when i went i took my shirt off to change in the bathroom i broke a few of the spikes and we didn't have time to re-sculpt them. Instead they took the spikes and turned these into bubbles. It was even crazier! Then I was off to makeup. This thankfully didn't take as long because the photoshoots had begun and guests were already arriving. The rest of the night flew by. We talked to guests about what the event was for and took tons of pictures to hopefully be used in the campaign... we will see though, I'm sure I'll be cut out since i was the only non-model there! now, let's talk about models. They take themselves WAY too seriously. Seriously girls, eat something and have a little fun!Little Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04099546523271932146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674037591449050739.post-34105232425376606972009-04-01T20:17:00.000-07:002009-04-01T20:20:24.532-07:00Today was a great day!The little things in life are what make me happy. Tonight I had dinner with a new group of girls i met. These girls remind me so much of the girls I hung out with in the South. Professional, sweet, ambitious, classy, and all around funny. I was nervous branching out from the group I run around with but I have recently realized I need to find more girlfriends. So, when Christine befriended me in our PMP study group I was eager to be her friend. Tonight I met her other friend who is from England and works in the financial industry. The best part- they both live downtown! <br /><br />So here's to all the little things in life that make us happy!Little Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04099546523271932146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674037591449050739.post-40027349850858514502009-03-31T19:07:00.000-07:002009-03-31T19:10:13.057-07:00Green Roses<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3PwTUsJQXqgJdjQTwJrjC_2ylaPZswdlvacp0yjkApFfh9sj-fc89XS90K-j7ikdt-Bqshu9VChXbZhhkO_msxIQoTWivn1IPdVMSSKmNZ7PhFHo8RBzi1rEjjT6dvx2Rirb5nMX1VxA/s1600-h/GetAttachment.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 152px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3PwTUsJQXqgJdjQTwJrjC_2ylaPZswdlvacp0yjkApFfh9sj-fc89XS90K-j7ikdt-Bqshu9VChXbZhhkO_msxIQoTWivn1IPdVMSSKmNZ7PhFHo8RBzi1rEjjT6dvx2Rirb5nMX1VxA/s200/GetAttachment.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319539438761294738" /></a><br />Have you ever seen green roses before? The guy I'm dating gave me 2 dozen green roses this weekend.(it's great, I get surprised with roses all the time!) They are absolutely beautiful! I believe they are pretty close to passing my favorite, Tulips. They are a light lime green and all natural!Little Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04099546523271932146noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674037591449050739.post-49118927111648216972009-03-30T21:49:00.000-07:002009-03-30T22:06:34.905-07:00When is enough enough?This is going to be an odd blog... you are prewarned. I think we all have those bad days. They may consist of failing a test- which I did today. Getting yelled at by a boss. Wrecking you car. Fighting with friends and family or so much more. But when do you deem enough enough? Better yet, at what age are you supposed to learn your breaking point or how you specifically cope when things get bad? <br /><br />This was all brought up due to an incident that happened at my apartment complex Sunday morning. After battling a cold for the past three weeks I have been sleeping harder than normal waking for nothing. So, the story goes as follows: Saturday was phenomenally beautiful here in San Diego. So beautiful I am still sporting a nasty sunburn from laying at the pool. Needless to say, Saturday night was another early night. I opened all my windows and quickly fell asleep. Sunday morning comes and I'm amazed at how peaceful I slept the night before.... so serene that I slept in and only had 5 minutes to get ready for church. So i hopped on the elevator and was greeted by a neighbor on one of the floors below. He asked if I was kept up all night by all of the ambulance, firetruck and cop sirens out front of the building. I kinda laughed because i was still half asleep from the night before. So, the neighbor continued to tell me how a guy on the 12 floor decided to jump off his balcony and commit suicide. I was in disbelief. I didn't want to pry and walk out front of my building in case it was true.Instead of continuing to the basement to get in my car I hit the button for floor 15 and headed back to my apt. Opened my balcony door and saw exactly what happened only a few hours before. From 8 am - noon some poor man had the job of scrubbing and powerwashing our sidewalk. <br /><br />So, this goes back to my question. When is enough enough? How do you decide it needs to come to that. i don't understand how anything could be so bad that you decide to end it all. I think it's safe to assume we all have crappy days and you should never look at suicide as an out. I just feel sorry for whoever had to make that phone call to this guys parents at 3am Sunday morning.Little Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04099546523271932146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674037591449050739.post-42634972645954594412009-03-04T20:47:00.000-08:002009-03-04T20:55:39.947-08:00....Studying is not fun!A few weeks ago I started preparing for my PMP exam by taking step one, signing up for a PMP Exam Prep course. The classes consist of an all day Saturday study session for 6 consecutive Saturdays. Each week I have anywhere from 3-6 chapters to basically memorize, online tests, podcasts to listen to, and study groups to attend. Somehow during all of this "school work" i am supposed to actually complete my normal work week... Needless to say, I have had many nights like tonight, sitting at Cafe Solana a few blocks down the street from my house, drinking way to much coffee trying to actually focus and taking way to many notes that I will never memorize. People, let me tell you NEVER go back to studying after you graduate from school. Keep the pattern in one direct path and do school fully through then look for a job. I seriously feel for anyone who goes back to school part time while working a full work week..... Last but not least, let's just pray that all these long nights pay off and I pass on my first sitting of this test (which as my teacher nicknamed it "The Bitch") because if not, then I'm basically back on step one since the book of my life, PMBOK, is being revised and reproduced to a new edition-- therefore, conveniently changing the test questions in June...uhhhhh.Little Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04099546523271932146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674037591449050739.post-56488168607995125782009-02-10T12:31:00.000-08:002009-02-10T12:41:40.085-08:00SelfishnessJust as each of you have been following the story of the octuplets and now family of 14 so have I. I'm not sure if any of you have watched the interviews with the mother but I feel she is completely selfish! She says she will provide for all of her children and love them but how do you provide food for your children when you don't even have a college degree or job? Better yet, she says she will return back to school so she can provide for her family, but who will watch the children when she goes to college? Finally, she doesn't want any type of hand outs but how does she think she will handle any of the financial burdens? Of course she is looking for handouts- look at the last family that had octuplets- they received a house, free formula and free diapers. Unfortunately, she must not have realized that the way the economy is she will not have any handouts coming here way such as previous families. It's pure selfishness. She didn't like being an only child, her mother even sounds weary about all of this and is planning to move out of the house once Nadia returns from the hospital +8, and to top it off she hired a publicist (on that non-existent salary) to tell her story. Sounds like someone is trying to make some money off of these babies. I think she went a little too crazy while working at the insane asylum. <br /><br />But hey, that's my opinion.Little Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04099546523271932146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674037591449050739.post-82647801892036157962009-02-09T12:10:00.000-08:002009-02-09T12:23:13.878-08:00My checkmark for my Bucket List<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1WVeiL4lTllYX1VS-5Fy9D1Y6_BDfaUQRQbibRhECJmZ_x1N8hE5accbLd-AYwJp8I6j6yKVhsK4OUbl6oR_G-H_x_cm_P9MYmnUEMlGYWAdtHqu1EMDEsR1Jjn5XDGERnEKm9-sBRG0/s1600-h/n9410843_39924662_5303.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Rachel, a college friend invited us to come stay with her while she is shooting the movie "Carmel" located in Carmel/ Pebble Beach. So, the two of us took off work early Friday and began the trek up North. The 9 hour drive on the PCH/ CA HWY 101 was AMAZING..... well that actually is an understatement. This has always been a trip I have had recommended to me- drive the coastal highway. I have to say, I used to think San Diego was beautiful, it's not compared to this part of the country!! San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Carmel, Monterey, Santa Cruz and everything in between was so green and comforting.<br /><br />We got to Carmel around 10:30 Friday night after driving all 9 hours in downpour rain. We met up with the movie crew at a local pub since they didn't think we would be able to find the house we were staying at in Pebble Beach golf course.... it's probably a good thing too because that golf course community is HUGE! First off, i just lied. It was not a house we stayed in- it was a mansion on the 15th hole. I would yell for jenny and couldn't find her, so then i'd have to go in search of her.. i think you get my point. <br /><br />Anyhow, i'm trying to get more pictures off my phone but of course it doesn't want to cooperate. Point of this blog- get your butt in a car, drive the PCH/ HWY101 and visit these areas. This trip definitely is worth adding to your Bucket List!Little Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04099546523271932146noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674037591449050739.post-70695051584461422022009-02-03T18:44:00.000-08:002009-02-03T19:18:02.822-08:00A Wine Country DateOne thing I have always wanted to do since I moved to San Diego is spend a day in Temecula wine tasting. As a small version of Napa, San Diego County is home to close to 25 wineries, multiple bed in breakfasts, and numerous amazing restraunts. The experience of tasting multiple wines and sparkling white wines (aka Champagne)easily has me wanting to head back to Temecula. <br /><br />My trip actually started over a casual dinner date conversation. The guy that took me out knew more about wine than any person I have ever met. During dinner he told me about great places in Napa and the wineries outside of LA. Then the conversation turned to our own county. Once again, not having much experience with any "good" wines, i again admitted defeat that I had never been to Temecula wine tasting. <br /><br />So, it was decided we should go....First off lunch was amazing! We started off at South Coast Winery, Resort and Spa. Vineyard Rose restaurant definitely was a nice unexpected treat. I believe it has even won awards as Best Restraunt in the Inland Empire. The best way to desicribe the ambiance is countryside chic. http://wineresort.com/ So we grabbed a seat on the patio overlooking the vines and began our first tasting paired with amazing Ahi. After lunch we started the tastings at the following wineries: <br />1. South Coast, www.wineresort.com<br />2. Wlson Creek, http://www.wilsoncreekwinery.com/<br />3. Stuart Cellars, http://www.stuartcellars.com/main.html<br />4. Mount Palomar, http://www.mountpalomar.com/mtpalomar/index.jsp<br /><br />All in all it was so amazing. I am even more excited about going to Napa and heading back to Temecula to stay at the BnBs! <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivefZRSD6FDccmPWa_SwPRGe_-9yTRuMKhQgFoUxz0ZH8fgfNcjtbb6fHD2HBJ46sS-Hss6z4TVGMlhGXuL6qXaFCi_z17lh1R0Eo3k8ljpCcMEC_S4OmY8aM6NcReWJNMTplWmc0cXYE/s1600-h/temecula-winery.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 187px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivefZRSD6FDccmPWa_SwPRGe_-9yTRuMKhQgFoUxz0ZH8fgfNcjtbb6fHD2HBJ46sS-Hss6z4TVGMlhGXuL6qXaFCi_z17lh1R0Eo3k8ljpCcMEC_S4OmY8aM6NcReWJNMTplWmc0cXYE/s200/temecula-winery.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298776126814678450" /></a>Little Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04099546523271932146noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674037591449050739.post-3698774428026444882009-01-21T20:13:00.000-08:002009-01-21T20:17:28.906-08:00Yummy Yummy SalmonLast night I cooked dinner for my date and myself. Try this recipe it's great! We both really liked it! <br /><br />Ingredients<br />1/2 cup maple syrup <br />2 tablespoons Dijon mustard <br />4 6-ounce salmon fillets <br />1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt <br />1/2 teaspoon black pepper <br />1/2 fresh pineapple <br />1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped <br />2 cups cooked white rice <br />Preparation<br /><br />Heat broiler. <br /><br />Whisk together the maple syrup and mustard in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. <br /><br />Place the salmon in a foil-lined 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Season with the salt and pepper. Slice the peel from the pineapple half and cut it lengthwise into quarters, then cut each quarter into 1/2-inch-thick triangles. Scatter the pineapple and jalapeño around the salmon. Brush the salmon with the syrup mixture. Broil for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily when pricked with a fork and the inside is the same color throughout. Serve the salmon and pineapple with the rice and drizzle with the remaining glaze, if desired.Little Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04099546523271932146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674037591449050739.post-20451742088966721682009-01-21T19:55:00.000-08:002009-01-21T20:12:30.074-08:00First Weekend<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDOw98cP56_EWEGD30Xtw5D1KHTvuSa4MjLe8xy0ndkHcPWpos8XWbbfnOVcAmlYKJ6shIdgED9fHqn7z-OSNPuBaHRTvrD2tSjdGntMq1p-sdFuhIiC2CX176u6ydLsKNAUk4CcK92rs/s1600-h/n24503085_32885460_6028.jpg"><img style="display:block;

As I know reside close to 2000 ft in the air I casually keep my feet propped up, the balcony door open, and tv on. No, being up so high does not scare me any longer. Instead it intrigues me. The one thing that all my friends keep saying is, "wow all of this furniture fit in your studio??" Yes, and doesn't it look even better spread out? To top that, look at any of the three closets and look at how my clothes are breathing now! Long story short, I'm still happy. <br /><br />So what do you do when you get a new place? You have a house warmer. After a long and bad day at work on Friday I opted that I was bailing on my date and spending the night with my best friend Jenny since she had just as crummy day. We walked down to a Italian restraunt that I had always been told was great. Waited thirty minutes in line only to be completely disappointed. How someone could possibly tell you that mediocre restraunt fell remotely close to the beyond phenomenal food of Little Italy astounds me! So after a bad day and bad dinner we walked back to my apartment checking out the new neighborhood. Any other night Jenny and I would have gone out to dinner in nice enough clothes to actually get into the laid back bars. Instead tonight our hair was in ponytails and we sported tshirts blue jeans and flops. So we stopped off at a local Irish Pub which I have deemed my new favorite place. The food looks amazing, the scene is relaxed and well it's 4 blocks away. I think this will be a new study place for me to help me focus outside of my apartment. After that we ventured to bareback. It is an Australian bar next door to the Irish Pub. Then my colleagues met up with us for a night of laughter. The best part of the night was the rule no one could bitch-----about anything! It's great to have that rule in your life!<br /><br />So Saturday rolled around and me being lazy blew off my lunch date and played downtown. I ran around all downtown and became quite familiar with my new neighborhood. that evening several of my friends came over to see the new place. They all loved it!I even got a great new house warming gift of wine glasses!! I now can't wait for each of you to see the new place! Although, it's still new I have broken this place in and made it "homey and comfy". That took only a few short days!Little Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04099546523271932146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674037591449050739.post-67440216353500845752009-01-11T15:24:00.001-08:002009-01-11T15:39:32.421-08:0015th Story Breeze<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRgvs7_kd9_34707QinN5Jadeuce7DQ8zz7n0UmrT8z1WBFOAQsetRp_vHHalaTIIV8vgNcAtZ_6RWUB6wR2JVLUXE4rEpj9DHBEAeGtNKIa0g5Rumnle7i1RsdpodzD5CBSqlPrkD4eE/s1600-h/room.JPG"><img style="display:block;

Yup, that's it- I moved again. Not to far, just 10 miles down the road from the beach. Now I reside in 92101 otherwise known as downtown San Diego. As day two is almost coming to an end I still am in awe at how large my "penthouse" condo is!! My new place now is double the size of my old studio. I have gone from one closet to three closets, however, I somehow have all three closets slam packed!<br /><br />On a side note: 1st- Notice the bookshelf on the left- looking a little tipsy? Overnight the bookshelf has started to tilt downwards. I think this is the only negative thing about the move. 2nd- The entire time i lived in the studio none of my neighbors were ever friendly or ever said hello. While i moved in here I met 6 new people. All whom were very friendly. 3rd- I highly highly highly suggest you never live in a studio. <br /><br />I have to apologize that these pictures may not turn out to well. I have lost my camera and am working via phone camera....not to fret, my camera was broken anyways. The first downtown picture is from my living room balcony. The second downtown picture is from my bedroom window. I'm sure many of you might not enjoy looking at so much concrete but I love it. Especially watching the sun set and seeing it reflect off the bay. <br /><br />Enjoy!Little Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04099546523271932146noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674037591449050739.post-81661500142660321432009-01-06T17:26:00.000-08:002009-01-06T17:27:24.475-08:00MASHWho remembers playing this game when they were younger?

If you're too open-minded, your brains will fall out.<br /><br />2. Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it very often.<br /><br />3. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian, any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.<br /><br />4. It ain't the jeans that make your butt look fat. <br />*looks at Graver*<br /><br />5. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.<br /><br />6. My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.<br /><br />7. Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious.<br /><br />8. It is easier to get forgiveness than permission. <br /><br />9. For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program.<br /><br />10. If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.<br /><br />11. Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.<br /><br />12. A conscience is what hurts when all of your other parts feel so good.<br /><br />13. Eat well, stay fit, die anyway.<br /><br />14. Men are from earth. Women are from earth. Deal with it.<br /><br />15. No one has ever been shot while doing the dishes.<br /><br />16. A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.<br /><br />17. Middle age is when broadness of the mind and narrowness of the waist change places.<br /><br />18. Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.<br /><br />19. Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.<br /><br />20. There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.<br /><br />21. Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.<br /><br />22. By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends.<br /><br />23. When baking, follow directions. When cooking, go by your own taste.<br /><br />24. Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world.<br /><br />25. If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before.Little Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04099546523271932146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674037591449050739.post-10890587855268706912009-01-02T12:34:00.000-08:002009-01-02T13:03:18.223-08:00Christmas and a New Year<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQWnODaq6WoS5bcTDs94nlkyHMf3OEQnPy2aZl3qHqENV3TKcnW5V9uSz_usJEwVwlXv05JtfyO9UupkD20gEyNgKcHw0ohPPHLsjN4MgkbHLhXklo4GaNyAoq5NoIX_nEtKOKu7_NNYw/s1600-h/n26502154_34239224_4057.jpg"><img style="display:block;

This year the Hill- Thomson- Glazier clan all met up in Memphis to celebrate Christmas. It started off with a seemless flight across the country. Christmas eve at mass was interesting. Some of you may have heard this story already, for those who have not this is warning to keep you kids away from me. Over thanksgiving in DC i gave James a new toy. Heather had sent his christmas wish list to each of us and on there were guns. apparently James has been running around her house with Heather's spatulas saying bang bang. So a few night prior to my departure i ventured to target to find little pistols to give james. Instead of pistols I found the next greatest thing.... A SHOTGUN! This thing was massive. (It was a nerf shotgun not a real thing). It was great even FAA didn't stop me, which i was sure would occur. So I give James the gift and he loved it. Apparently when James got home he would walk up to Heather and Jason and say "shoot baby Jesus." ...opps good deed gone South. <br /><br />So back to Christmas eve mass. As we all sat in church everyone kept saying James look Jesus or similar questions about who Jesus is. Let's just say the whole clan was waiting for him to scream out "shoot baby Jesus" in the middle of mass. But James being the perfect nephew as he is, he didn't do so. <br /><br />2009 with a random bang! This year i'm saying is the year of love- for friends, family, and whomever else falls into my life. This year I celebrated NYE in LA with one of my good friends from college, Rachel. This year I was a purple disco ball for the evening. We started off the night at a house party with some of her co-workers i've met before. Then we proceeded to walk 4 blocks in the frigid weather, no jackets of course, to Bar Mamont a famous bar in Hollywood. Next we went to Happy Endings for a 70's party... it was very fratastic and college feeling. At 11:40 Rachel and I bailed from Happy Endings and headed to another house party. Let's just say our cab pulled up and we ran inside just as the count down began. it was great timing! After spending a few hours here with a fun crowd we headed to some other house. I'm not quite sure what exactly the owner of the house did but it was BEAUTIFUL! After staying there for an hour or so we headed back to the previous hose party.... All in all 2009 was brought in with many many people and places. It was a blast!Little Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04099546523271932146noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674037591449050739.post-66129323259961222312008-12-14T18:57:00.000-08:002008-12-20T17:42:09.256-08:00Chapter Three- A Young Professional in the CityWell, as many of my readers know, ALOT has happened this past year. I've tranformed from a rough job into a job that not only excites me everyday but challenges me too. I've made a handful of amazing friends who guide me through my daily journey. I've dealt with a heartbreak and learned to get on with and without grudges. And finally, I've lived at the beach and in a cute beach town most people in SoCal travel to visit for a weekend of fun.<br /><br />Unfortunately, chapters end in our lives and we have to move on even if others aren't ready. That's why with the start of 2009 I am beginning chapter 3 of Sarah in California- The Young Professional in the City. What do I hope for in this new chapter to include? Well for starters, hopefully a move..... not to far this time! I'm am hoping to become a resident of the 92101-aka Little Italy in downtown San Diego!! I'm so very excited. My past two weekends have included me checking out different condos with amazing views of the city skyline and the bay. This is the one place I've taken all of my family to when they come to visit. The authenic Italian food and little community is a must see. I have to say I think Mom, Dad, Heather and Lauren loved this little community! <br /><br />Secondly, I'm looking acquire my professional license for Project Management- everyone say a prayer that I pass! For the past few months i have attempted to study but come Christmas time is when I really have to buckle down and start making progress. <br /> <br />Third, I'm going to start listening to my friends more- especially when they are giving me advice about my love life. They are the ones who see everything when you are blinded by love. So, now it's time for opening new doors, especially if I'm going to be living near oh so many downtown professionals! <br /><br />Finally, I may try to start working out. No promises but with so many amazing trails to hike around here I should take advantage of that. The working out may just be me snowboarding on the weekends at Big Bear too.<br /><br />However, I think out of everything in my new upcoming chapter I am most excited about my job with Bedrock and Qualcomm. Everyday I learn something new about the industry, meet a new individual, or am requested to take a project in a new direction. I am so glad I finally found a job that thrills me. <br /><br />So.... now that all these changes are about to occur just cross your fingers everything goes well and chapter 3 turns out to be positive memories!Little Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04099546523271932146noreply@blogger.com0
