I have been on a mad crazy hiatus. Sorry!<br />
<br />
I seriously came up on the chance of a lifetime: my friend got us a reservation at <a href="http://www.frenchlaundry.com/" target="_blank">The French Laundry </a>If you don't know what that is, it is probably one of the most amazing restaurants there is in Napa Valley. (rated 3 Michelin stars!) It is owned by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Keller" target="_blank">Chef Thomas Keller</a>. The man is a culinary wizard. <br />
<br />
Ever since my first taste of fine dining, I had always dreamed of dining at The French Laundry. I've dined at Bouchon in Las Vegas so French Laundry was the next step! (just kidding) However, I heard that reservations are extremely hard to get and they only let you book 2 months in advance. I was thinking "How hard can it be if you can do this 2 months in advance?" Well, let me explain to you how hard it was!<br />
My friends and I agreed on a Saturday, June 2 reservation 2 months ago. My friend called every week repeatedly trying to get the date and time we wanted. Finally, she was told that they were fully booked and that we could be put on a wait list if we would like. We waitlisted ourselves and carried on with our lives making other plans for June 2 thinking that we wouldn't get in. Boy were we wrong!! On Wednesday, May 30 my friend got a call from The French Laundry saying someone had <u><b><i>cancelled</i></b></u> on Saturday, June 2, would we like the reservation?<br />
<br />
<b>WHY WAS THIS EVEN A QUESTION!?</b><br />
<br />
We took it in a heartbeat and I cancelled my Saturday plans. Then came the panic..<br />
<br />
What to wear? What to wear?<br />
<br />
Well.. Here you go!<br />

Just MUFE duo mat powder, Christian Dior brow pencil in Universal Brown, some Japanese liquid eyeliner (I forget the brand, my coworker bought it for me in Hong Kong) and Shu Uemura lipstick in #270. I always love a good red. I normally go with a matte red but MAC dries my lips out. This Shu Uemura red has a blue undertone but is super moisturizing.</div>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As you can see.. NARS has changed up their packaging for their concealer. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The price is still about $22. Is it worth it? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I normally wouldn't make a stink about this but you are getting ripped off! I use concealer under my eyes every single morning. Since this is a daily product for me, I felt it was necessary for me to do a little digging. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Like I stated previously, the new sleek packaging brings it to a whopping measly 0.07oz. The old packaging was 0.17oz, a little more than double the amount!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Most people will say the weight has changed due to less packaging but I disagree.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Since I used up all of my old NARS concealer, I used a MAC lipstick for comparison. The old NARS concealer came in a lipstick shape.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You are getting way less product now folks. =\</div><br />

I get 20% my purchases and so does one friend that I bring along. Of course I am bringing <a href="http://pawsplayrepeat.blogspot.com/">Melissa</a>.That woman has not blogged since she went to Miami in April but I have hopes that she'll return to the blogging world. <br />
Anyway...<br />
<br />
When I first started this blog, I had every intention on this being a beauty blog. I got so caught up in appearance, cosmetics, basically the superficial. I came to know other bloggers, met fellow beauty bloggers, befriended and DEFRIENDED a few... *ahem* I tried to keep up and I couldn't.<br />
I think a good majority of the few true beauty bloggers that still stand today are great people. I never had a well known blog, and I know my blog will never culminate to that point. I admit, I could not keep up with the superficial. <br />
<br />
I am an average person. I go to work Monday through Friday, from 8am to 5pm and make a decent living for myself.<br />
However, I cannot afford to spend, spend, spend on the monthly. I can't keep up with the latest MAC collections (they seem to have a few every couple of months, what the fuck), I can't purchase all the nail polishes from all the seasonal collections I want. Whenever a brand comes out with a new foundation, whether it be drugstore or high end, I don't bother to purchase it. Let's be real. Am I ever going to use all my nail polish and makeup!?<br />
FUCK NO.<br />
<br />
I don't know how the hell the other ladies keep up with it and manage to have the SPACE to store it all but props to them.<br />
I am an average person living in a small San Franciscan home, which means my room isn't spacious.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">So tonight when I get to Sephora, I only intend on purchasing things I really want: powder foundation (I've completely hit pan and almost killed it all) and under eye concealer.</div><br />

<br />
I'm not afraid to show who I really am. I have atrocious bags under my eyes. I genetically have dark circles under my eyes. I have freckles, sun spots, and moles on my face. I'm 5'2 1/2" and I weigh around 125 pounds. Yes, I weigh one hundred and twenty five pounds. I am not a "skinny" person like many claim I am. I am average. Camera angles and positioning can be deceiving. I am not okay with my weight gain and belly pudge, but I don't whine. I am the one in control of my weight, my looks, and my feelings. I'm just going to push myself to actually exercise. <br />

</div><div style="text-align: right;">I'll be blogging more frequently on the go. I kind of got even more lazy so blogging from work (which has been swamped due to people calling out sick) was out of the question. So tired lately!! </div><div style="text-align: right;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: right;">Anyway. Happy to finally get rid of my Blackberry. It was turning into a brick. *sigh* That damn thing couldn't even handle core applications like Blackberry Messenger or the web browser. I had to constantly shut off my phone to reset it or do a battery pull. If you've ever owned a Blackberry you would know that after doing a battery pull, it takes like 10 minutes for your damn phone to come back on. </div><br />

Been super busy (as usual), lots of personal struggles and traveling.<br />
<br />
I did the <a href="http://www.survivormudrun.com/">Survivor Mud Run</a> this past Saturday so now I am sore, sun burned, cut up, and bruised all over. Lovely eh? Super rewarding though. My tan lines are <i>hideous.</i> The photos from that aren't uploaded yet (obviously I wasn't able to take any on my own since I was running/wading through MUD) so I'll post those at a later date.<br />
<br />
The weather has been yo-yo-ing back and forth in San Francisco. I've been trying to fight off a sore throat for nearly a week now. I was almost successful but then I went to Los Angeles and had tons of grilled and fried foods. I'm back in San Francisco now and the sore throat is back, along with a cough. I think I'll be on a liquid diet for this week: soups, noodle soups , coffee and Jamba Juice!<br />
Since I am sticking to liquids for a bit, I decided to post up how I make my won tons! Sorry if you were waiting on the prime rib post, that will come later on when I make it again.<br />

It was sponsored by CSE Insurance and the San Francisco Deputy Sheriff's Foundation. </a> <-- please click that to read on what it was. I volunteered on behalf of the Deputy Sheriff's Foundation. One of my friends is a Sheriff and had asked me to help out. It was a heart moving experience helping teachers decide on what supplies to get their students and hearing their stories. One teacher told me her students can't get any work done in their computer lab because half of the computers don't function. People keep stealing computer parts or the mouseballs, etc. She decided to use her $200 tax free gift card to get 10 mice and keep them on her own for her students. She would be bringing them back and forth to the computer lab at her school so her students could work. Thank you Target in Colma and Eat Le Truc for participating and providing delicious breakfast! :)<br />

It winds up on the internetz.<br />
<br />
Don't shake your head. You know it's true. These days, what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas it ends up on FaceBook because everybody and their mamas talks about it.<br />
<br />
This was my 2nd Vegas trip this year. This time around, it was sort of a mini blogger girl meet-up. I've already met <a href="http://angxo.blogspot.com/">Angelique</a> and hung out with her before, and I've met and hung out with <a href="http://serenadeveryday.blogspot.com/">Serena</a> numerous times. However, the setting has always been in Southern California or San Francisco.. So this time, we were all out of our element. <a href="http://www.cydangie.com/">Cydia</a> was also in Vegas the same weekend, ALL THE WAY FROM NEW YORKKKKK so you know we had to meet.<br />
<br />
I couldn't get Friday off from work so <a href="http://serenadeveryday.blogspot.com/">Serena</a> and I had to meet at SFO arond 7pm and haul ass to Vegas. We both didn't check in our luggage so as soon as we landed we Jenny Craig walked like crazy women off the plane and into a cab to the hotel. When we arrived, Angelique and her co-worker were already ready. I got nekkid with a quickness and got my war paint on.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">until the next trip ladies... let's make it happen!<br />
<br />
next post will be yet another one of my "how to" "cooking" photo entry type posts on how I make won tons! so stay tuned. actually, I'm doing a dinner party on Saturday and cooking prime rib. Should I do my "how to/cooking" photo entry on won tons or prime rib? one of my very first posts here on blogger was about my 1st time making prime rib but since then I have found a better method. so, what do you guys prefer? won tons or prime rib? no care? are you reading this message? probably not. you probably just looked at all the pictures, scrolled down and commented.<br />

I have perfected the recipe.<br />
The first time I made these, I pretty much followed this video<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/XOurjE9s3GA?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />
I didn't like my end result, so on my 2nd try I tweaked the recipe.<br />
Here are photos from my 1st attempt.<br />

It was fully cooked and dry like a boiled egg yolk.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">SooOoOoOo </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">during attempt #2 & #3, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">after lining the cupcake pan with bacon, I placed half cooked chorizo on the bottom</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Did the other usual steps...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">HOWEVER</div><div style="text-align: center;">this time I only cooked the bacon wrapped eggs for half of the required cook time.</div><div style="text-align: center;">So, instead of 15 minutes at 400*F, I let it sit in the oven for 7-8 mins at 400*F.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I apologize for not having better photos since I didn't bring my CanonG12 with me during my other trials, but I used my cellphone hahaha</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AMcGzoqSA1E/TjbkMUGAPhI/AAAAAAAABn4/uhrOYMZY5ww/s1600/bacon12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AMcGzoqSA1E/TjbkMUGAPhI/AAAAAAAABn4/uhrOYMZY5ww/s400/bacon12.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">garnished it with some pico de gallo, salsa and sour cream. my friend's sister had suggested it since I put chorizo in the egg this time. Just a mini play on juevos ranchero!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Look at that beautiful runny egg yolk.. SooOOO gooooood.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SpknbBTzJw4/TjbkQAinD2I/AAAAAAAABn8/d4vX8dfXVlM/s1600/bacon13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SpknbBTzJw4/TjbkQAinD2I/AAAAAAAABn8/d4vX8dfXVlM/s400/bacon13.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I like my yolks jizzy.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I know you're probably thinking, "Why even go through all this trouble for bacon and eggs?"</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's a cheap, super easy way to entertain. I go to dinner parties and potlucks so this is something convenient since I usually have these ingredients on hand. Of course you can make this recipe your own by adding whatever you please! I'm thinking some chopped up onions and bell peppers would be good..</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway, I had gotten a lot of comments on FB/Twitter about these so there ya go! <br />
If you make these yourself, post it up and link me so I can see!!</div>- susy -http://www.blogger.com/profile/04017724956081792428noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8331091816120859652.post-52768788121315564002011-07-20T15:35:00.000-07:002011-07-20T15:39:12.151-07:00randomsSorry I've been gone again, I went off to Los Angeles for a bit.<br />

I know it has been quite some time since I have last posted. I usually try to at least do a monthly recap but I've been busy (aren't we all though?). I normally pound out my entries at work but it's hectic as shit right now.<br />
I'm entering my busy season and I have an intern with me Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 8am-5pm. I can't stand his ass and have decided to ignore his existence. Kind of hard to continually do so when he sits directly within 5 feet of me for most of the day but... I digress.<br />
<br />
So! It's been over a month since my laser eye surgery. Let me try to walk you through my experience...<br />
but first:<br />
<br />
VERY IMPORTANT.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u><i>DISCLAIMER</i></u>: </b>This blog entry is written solely for my own personal experience with wave front Lasik. Any questions, I will try to answer to the best of my knowledge but: <b>I AM NOT A LICENSED MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL.<i> PLEASE CONSULT YOUR EYE DOCTOR FOR SERIOUS INQUIRES REGARDING REFRACTIVE SURGERY. </i></b></span><br />
<br />
I scheduled an appointment with my optometrist back in April. I was keeping my fingers crossed because in order to even qualify for laser eye surgery, your prescription must be stable for at least 2 years. After the usual eye exam and eye dilation... that Saturday, April 23rd, my prayers were answered! My eyes finally stabilized! This was such a huuuuuuuge relief to me. I have been wearing glasses since the 4th grade. I finally got contacts sometime while I was in high school. You can only imagine how long I had been living with poor vision. However, this was only the beginning.<br />
After being recommended to a laser eye surgeon, I would still have to undergo a series of tests to be sure that my actual eyeballs prove me to be an excellent candidate. I went to see the surgeon I was recommended to. There, at her office, I had my corneas checked out. What they tested for was to determine the thickness of my corneas and to be sure that the shape of my corneas were a-okay. Got my eyes dilated (yet again) but I passed with flying colors! The good news was that I qualified for <a href="http://www.pacificvision.org/our-services/advanced-wavefront.php">wave front Lasik</a>, so the next step was to stop wearing my contacts for 2 weeks. During this time, I also didn't bother to wear eye makeup. The reason why they ask you to stop wearing contacts is because wearing them can alter your corneal shape and thickness prior to the surgery. It is extremely important to follow this step because it can impact your actual surgery. I of course, experienced some dryness but that was easily remedied by using eye drops every few hours or so.<br />
I was given a supply of Refresh Tears Lubricant eye drops but in the individual little tubes. This brand of eye drops comes highly recommended for Lasik patients due to the fact that the individual little tube ones are also preservative free. (I still love my Rhoto though!) I was also given a big bottle of vitamins that I needed to take 4 times a day. They are called HydroEye by ScienceBased Health.These vitamins were to help my eyes produce more lubrication. They were HUUUUUGE and contained some fish oil but they didn't taste like anything.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aM3CZ9OIE3M/ThNY73uTdsI/AAAAAAAABj0/0k8zj0dV3OE/s1600/lasik+005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aM3CZ9OIE3M/ThNY73uTdsI/AAAAAAAABj0/0k8zj0dV3OE/s320/lasik+005.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>On Tuesday, May 3rd, I went in to see my surgeon for my pre-op exam. Once again, my corneas were tested. As expected, my eyes were a little bit dry (normal) but my corneal shape & thickness remained the same. They dilated my eyes to examine my retinas again. At this point I was a little tired of having my eyes dilated since it was the 3rd time in mere matter of weeks but I sucked it up. I mean, why not? My life was about to change the very next morning...I was given a general explanation of what was about to happen the next day and written a prescription to pick up Zymaxid & Pred Forte eye drops. These drops were essential to my recovery process. The Zymaxid is to ward off any bacterial infections (this is also prescribed when people have pink eye apparently..nasty!) Pred Forte is a corticosteroid used to reduce any irritation, swelling or inflammation, allergy or redness after the surgery. I will go over how often these drops had to be used later on during the recovery portion of my entry.<br />
<br />
<b><u>The Operation</u></b><br />
On Wednesday, May 4th, I arrived for my appointment. Again, a few tests were run on my eyes just to triple check. After that, I was given a more thorough run down of the actual surgery procedure and protocols. Drops were administered to numb my eyeballs. You read that correctly, <u><b><i>drops were administered to numb my eyeballs.</i></b></u> I have to say that was one of the oddest things I have ever gone through. This was to ensure that my eyes didn't move during surgery although the laser would follow. Just imagine feeling like you are trapped in your own skull...kind of felt like that? I'd see something out of the corner of my eye but if I tried to focus my vision over to the corner, I could see my eye straining and struggling. SOOOOO WEIRD.<br />
I was walked into a room where I laid down next to a huge machine. It was dark and just a tad chilly. The staff tried to make me as comfortable as they could and explained what would happen. As one eye is covered, the machine would be lowered over the other eye and a series of bubbles would be made underneath my lens. This is to enable the laser to open a precise flap to perform the surgery. This part was probably the most painful, and it wasn't even that bad. To be honest, it felt like someone was pressing down on my eyes. I felt pressure, but that's about it. Of course, the staff did mention that it is different for everyone. After both eyes were done I stayed down and wait for the bubbles to subside. This took a few minutes, maybe three or four. Once that was done, I kept my eyes closed and the staff led me to the next room for the actual surgery.<br />
I laid down again, and my left eye was covered. My surgeon instructed me to stare directly above into a ring of light. I had to try to focus on the light. I could hear the laser and <i>SMELL</i> the laser as it worked (it smelled like burnt flesh.. gross) but I couldn't feel a thing. Once my right eye was done, they moved on to my left eye. This was yet another strange feeling. I couldn't see anything, just darkness and the rings of light. I knew my eyes were open, but everything around me was black. I imagine this is what being blind is similar to. The actual surgery probably took less than five minutes total. After this, protective eye shields were taped over both eyes and I was instructed to keep my eyes closed for four hours. Once again the staff led me around but back into the main office recovery area. The staff had called a friend of mine to let him know my surgery was done and to come pick me up. My friend had to walk me up my stairs and help me get into my house. Once inside all I did was nap for four hours.<br />

After surgery, the cells grow back over the flap ;]<br />

<ul><li><u><b> </b></u>Protective eye shields had to be worn to sleep for the next four nights following my surgery. Doing so prevented me scratching/rubbing my eyes in my sleep and also protected them in case I rolled over.</li>
<li>shower with my eyes closed - extremely important to keep soap/shampoo/conditioner out of my eyes. </li>
<li>Zymaxid - 1 drop every two hours until bedtime (next four nights)</li>
<li>Pred Forte - 1 drop every two hours until bedtime (next four nights.. these eyedrops were soooo gross. I had to shake the bottle first and these drops were a milky white color. It made me look like I was crying milk out of my eyes and it left a bitter taste in my nasal passage and throat)</li>
<li>Refresh Plus (the usual lubricating drops) - 1 drop every 1-2 hours until bedtime (next four nights)</li>
<li>Refresh Celluvisc (a thicker version of the Refresh Plus) - 1 drop before bedtime (next four nights)</li>
<li>continue regimen with the HydroEyes vitamins.</li>
<li>no swimming for one week </li>
<li>NO EYE MAKEUP OR EYE CREAMS ALLOWED FOR ONE WEEK</li>
<li>NO RUBBING MY EYES FOR ONE MONTH</li>
<li>wear sunglasses as I may experience light sensitivity.</li>
</ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vrSsrVBrKbI/ThNY8zgdL7I/AAAAAAAABj8/6l4qcLXbPTk/s1600/lasik+007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vrSsrVBrKbI/ThNY8zgdL7I/AAAAAAAABj8/6l4qcLXbPTk/s320/lasik+007.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>After my four hours were up, I woke up and took off the protective eye shields. I hated those things! I called myself Robocop when I wore them and my boyfriend called me Bender (from Futurama).I started the medication routine but I was able to see immediately. This was AMAZING. I also went to work the very next day. I noticed sensitivity to florescent lighting (which sucked since I work in an office) and actual sunlight but I sucked it up. I had to look away from my computer screen every now and then to give my eyes a rest. It is also important for me to mention that <i>everybody has a different recovery results</i>. Daily fluctuations in vision are normal after surgery. I still catch my vision fluctuating every now and then but that will go away. Driving at night was not fun because I had major halo effect around taillights and traffic lights. I avoided driving which was easy to do since it is rare that I drive.<br />
I had a post surgery exam the next day to see how my eyes were healing. They were all good!<br />
After that, I had a one week follow up with my optometrist. Once again, I was doing fine and she also recommended me to keep on using Celluvisc at night before I sleep. I don't close my eyes 100% when I am sleeping so I normally have dry eyes anyway. At this point I was seeing at about 15/20 vision.<br />
On Saturday, June 11 I had my one month follow up with my optometrist. My optometrist told me my vision was better than 20/20.<br />

To this day, I forget I had Lasik done. Sometimes before I go to bed, I catch myself thinking "okay, time to take off my makeup and remove my contacts" It's a trip waking up and seeing clearly. It's something I haven't been able to do since the 4th grade! I would have to say, getting Lasik done is one of most beneficial lifetime investments I have made so far. If you are thinking about getting this procedure done yourself, I highly recommend seeing your optometrist and I hope that this entry helped!<br />
<br />
If you live in San Francisco and are seriously interested, I can recommend you to my eye surgeon. Please send inquiries to: thesusyness@yahoo.com Once again, SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY. If you spam me, I will post up a m4m ad on Craigslist with your e-mail addy. I shit you not. Have a nice day.- susy -http://www.blogger.com/profile/04017724956081792428noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8331091816120859652.post-35577788157160106322011-05-23T19:50:00.000-07:002011-05-23T19:53:11.213-07:00Boiling Crab leftovers..Just a quick entry before I post about my Lasik experience (I swear I'll do it. It just involves a lot of typing)<br />
<br />
Last Saturday aka Rapture Day <a href="http://serenadeveryday.blogspot.com/">Serena</a> and I met up at Boiling Crab. If the world was really ending, I wanted to have a full, happy belly. Disclaimer: We didn't really believe that nutjob Harold Camping okay? I am being sarcastic.<br />
<br />
Anyhow!<br />
<br />
It was a short, 20 minute wait. I know, *gasp* what the heck right!? There are 2 locations in NorCal and both are in San Jose. The one on Curtner Ave is a much bigger spot with less of a wait.<br />
When we sat down, I said out loud "dammit, I forgot to bring gloves!"<br />
Why?<br />
Well... I paint my nails a lot (thanks <a href="http://xgianger.blogspot.com/">G</a>, you turned me into a polish addict =P NUBS INC baby!) and I absolutely cannot stand it when my polish starts chipping...even the slightest bit. I will remove it and do another color. <a href="http://serenadeveryday.blogspot.com/">Serena</a> mentioned that her friends spoke of some Korean gloves for eating crawfish!??! I seriously need to wear gloves when I eat mudbugs because I have all these tiny little cuts all over random fingers :[<br />
<br />
Okay.<br />
<br />
I ordered 3 pounds of crawfish, the wholeshabang sauce, medium spicy. I know, the server looked at me like "dam girl what the fuck?! 3 pounds!?" I did not eat it all in one sitting, I swear. I ate about 2 pounds and took the rest home. YES I TOOK IT HOME.<br />
While we were eating I mentioned to Serena that I usually do this so I can enjoy a pound the next day... then I save the sauce and make pasta. She inquired about my process and I sent it over in a brief e-mail. Well, did it today and shot some photos to go along. So here you go!<br />
<a href="http://serenadeveryday.blogspot.com/">Serena</a>, let me know when you test it out!<br />
<br />
what you'll need:<br />
your leftover Boiling Crab sauce, strained (meaning take out all the little leftover antennae, random claws and garlic bits. well, removing the chunks of garlic is optional. I leave mine in because I would love to kill Edward. Sorry, I had to toss that Twilight dig in there and if I offended any Twi-hards, IDGAF!)<br />
3 tablespoons of butter<br />
3 tablespoons of flour<br />
3/4 cup of cream or milk - your choice of whole, low-fat whatever<br />
a big sauce pan or a frying pan<br />
a package of pasta - your choice of spaghetti, elbow macaroni, rigatoni, whatever. I just combined some elbow macaroni and some twists I had leftover from the last time I made pasta salad.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">After Sophia took off, Serena and I took a long walk to downtown San Francisco. We heard "untz untz untz" and thought a rave of some sorts was going on in the streets. Turned out it was the annual How Weird Street Faire. Was kind of gross since there was a bunch of nudity, drugs, booze, babies/small children and animals.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I normally don't mind these crazy street fair things and I am a San Franciscan. Seeing weird shit doesn't really phaze me anymore. (I mean come on, we have the Folsom Street Fair. If you don't know what that is, don't Google it. I'll spare you the details but it's a ton of leather, chaps, and penises)</div><div style="text-align: center;">The thing that pisses me off about shit like How Weird Street Faire are the irresponsible people who bring their babies/toddlers/young children/pets. <br />
First of all, dogs & cats have hearing that is much more sensitive than us humans. You know how terrified many pets get during July 4th fireworks? Yea, because the sound is amplified x10w4758902373 for them. Subjecting them to music at such loud decibels around people who are drunk or under the influence is so dangerous!!!! Their hearing is getting damaged all the way you are putting them in harms way. Anyone can step on your pet or injure them. Same goes for children.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm not trying to be a party pooper. I have had my fair share of marijuana, drugs, raves, booze, etc but I made that decision on my own. Don't subject your children to this kind of stuff. Let them make that choice on their own and <b>be responsible</b> people. <i><b>Your <u>children and pets ARE NOT ACCESSORIES.</u></b></i></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm just saying.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qAe7VZJpMhA/Tb7wvdjJsjI/AAAAAAAABiY/J0o3Oevxp5E/s1600/howweird.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300px" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qAe7VZJpMhA/Tb7wvdjJsjI/AAAAAAAABiY/J0o3Oevxp5E/s400/howweird.jpg" width="400px" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Bay Bridge</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TWATvbSHAmw/Tb7vGZT0avI/AAAAAAAABiQ/Jt-uyTnv9XM/s1600/random+010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300px" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TWATvbSHAmw/Tb7vGZT0avI/AAAAAAAABiQ/Jt-uyTnv9XM/s400/random+010.jpg" width="400px" /></a> </div><div style="text-align: center;"> Thanks Sophia!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kLh_SxH_0KY/Tb7vHbBCuCI/AAAAAAAABiU/BKDU12LdQmY/s1600/random+012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300px" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kLh_SxH_0KY/Tb7vHbBCuCI/AAAAAAAABiU/BKDU12LdQmY/s400/random+012.jpg" width="400px" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Okay. Time to get serious for a moment. On March 31st, San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow had attended the Giants vs. Dodgers baseball game at the Los Angeles Dodgers Stadium. After the game, he was brutally attacked by 2 Dodgers fans and hospitalized. The attack was unprovoked. He is suffering brain damage. Today, he remains in a medically induced coma so that his brain can heal. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I do not know Bryan Stow personally, but we are connected. We are both Giants fans. You are connected to him as well. He is another human being. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div>If you aren't aware, the rivalry between the San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers in the MLB is one of the biggest there is. However, the playing field is where it should end. I am all for fun and a bit of name calling, but the line needs to be drawn somewhere. Physically attacking others purely based on who you root for is inhumane. </div><div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">Perhaps one of the most ironic and saddest bits of this case is the fact that Bryan Stow is a paramedic. His passion is to save the life of others. Now, because of 2 immature thugs, his life hangs by a thread. I can't fathom what his family is going through and the medical bills they are facing in the near future. I personally have already donated some money but if you haven't, you still can. </div><div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><br />

We're all bloggers on here, yea? We're all people, yeah? The majority of us are not actual celebrities/celebutantes whatever you want to call it. <br />
I'm not a very well-known blogger. I have actually ceased my "beauty blogging" because to be quite frank, I can't keep up with it. I don't have tons of money to constantly spend on cosmetics, jewelry and fashion. Therefore, I don't put up reviews, swatches, tutorials, FOTDs, etc. From time to time I just post photos of how I spent my month. It's quite mundane, nothing special or too interesting.<br />
<br />
<br />
HOWEVER<br />
<br />
For those bloggers that <b><i>are</i></b> well-known , that <b>DO</b> have a huge following, let me just fucking remind you that you're just a regular everyday person like me.<br />
<br />
So when a reader of yours spots you in public and says they love your blog/style/fashion/tips etc, do not roll your eyes. Be appreciative.<br />
<br />
Get over yourself you snotty twat.<br />
<br />
If you're wondering why I'm saying this... Why yes, I have had an encounter like this before (I will not name who it was). Being snubbed does hurt. If you're going to snub your readers then you are nothing but a vain materialistic narcissistic ugly person. That's all you are. <br />
<br />
To counter all this, I did bump into Rumi Neely at Coachella. For the record, she was quite lovely and friendly.

My beloved grandpa passed away on February 4th, 2011 at 10:38pm. He was a solid, honest man that was the brick house foundation of my family. Although a portion of my heart is still in shambles, I keep having these dreams that tell me he's in a better place. It is a bit reassuring, but I still miss him nonetheless.<br />
