My Dinner

I made quinoa with veggies for dinner tonight and it was pretty damn good. I ate at the high top table while watching youtube videos. Alex, the cat, climbed up onto the table was was just sitting watching me eat. Just staring at me (the usual). He hardly ever sits on the table so it was a bit strange but I enjoyed the company.
So Im just chillin' eating my dinner, I take a bite and then I notice a tickle in my nose. The tickle gets stronger so I try to swallow my bite before I have to sneeze. I couldn't get it all down but I think a hand over the mouth will suffice because its going to haaaaaapeeeeeen!!
I turn towards Alex (away from my precious computer) and sneeze! Out of my mouth comes an explosion of quinoa and half chewed veggies and my hand did not block much. It all comes raining down around Alex and sounds like a mix between a splat and a sandy rain noise.
Alex doesn't move. Just keeps staring at me.
I remove my hand which is covered in a quinoa slobber and I start laughing. I show Alex my nasty hand and tell him that I just sneezed. He looks down at my hand briefly and seems disgusted but also curious as if to say, 'dont you think Im gonna lick that, gross, but what the hell just happened?!'
So I go over to the sink to clean off my hand and thats when the whole ordeal replays on my mind (that sound of the food splattering on the table!) and I start laughing so hysterically that Im bent over the sink and cannot see for the tears in my eyes. My windows are open so the neighbors can probably hear me and I wonder if they think Im laughing or crying. That makes me laugh harder. I cannot breathe.
When I can stand again, though still giggling, I grab the rag and clean up my ABC food thats all over the kitchen table and chairs. Alex is STILL in the same spot watching me. I giggle to myself for awhile afterwords and just giggled again as I wrote this.

Highlight of my day? Sneezing my dinner around my cat.

Or crouching around a garbage bag, with a friend, that was overflowing with pastries next to a coffee shop dumpster taking nibbles out of the delicious food. That was also a pretty hilarious part of my day... Especially when someone walked by and didn't know what to say to us. I bet we looked pretty crazy. But hey, I got some delicious free food out of it!

Red = Passion

Yesterday, I had a shit-eating grin as I was winding through local streets, pedaling and feeling the warm breeze in my hair. I recently, in the last month, moved to the DC area and have been struggling to fit in and find my place. This month, Ty and I got our own room in a place that we share with a few others that are our roommates in our new town. But there are still so many things that are missing in my life. I need yoga, rock climbing and freedom to get around on my own. On Tuesday afternoon, I took that first step at transportation freedom in the form of a two wheeled vehicle. I took the metro to Virginia which is a bit of a ride from my new home on the Maryland side. I stopped at one of the last metro stops and walked out into the sunny, nice weather. I was meeting someone from craigslist who was selling a little, red Schwinn bike. I exited the station and immediately saw the little red bike being held up by a sweet looking, older man. I introduced myself, took the bike for a...

Guatemala: Day One Adventure

The following is a conglomeration of journal writings that I made about my travel day to San Marcos, Guatemala and some additions to make it all run together smoothly: 11/5/15 6:60am Chicago I JUST made my first flight. It helped that the dude behind me in the security line was on my flight. We chatted a bit about travel and it eased my mind a little. I get so stressed out when Im not early... I had to take the earliest bus from Milwaukee at 4:30 am. I slept three hours. 10:55am ATL I think I smell... I didn't do that deodorant thing this morning. Whatever. I had less than an hour layover and had to run through the huge ATL airport to get to my gate. I got there with a bit of time though which is nice. Im between two not so fun humans. One is a very large man who thinks he can have half of my seat (though at least he seems nice) and an older woman who I don't think speaks good spanish or engligh. Also, when she's passed out its fine but as soon as she wakes up, the ...

Eating Like Crap is Crap

Im trying really hard not to spend money on food as there is so much food here at camp. Its not horrible food but its definitely not the best. So, with me trying not to spend money on food, I haven't been eating the greatest. I don't know if its because of other reasons, but Ive been feeling like shit lately and Im attributing it to lack of nutrients. I dont know how people eat crap all the time and survive. It must be a skill. I was eating alright about two weeks ago but this last week it hasn't been very pretty. Ive been a scavenger and theres been a lot of bread and fake meat and here is how I feel: Im tired ALL the time. No matter how many naps I take or hours I sleep a night, Im always exhausted by mid-day and just want to lay around, sleep and do nothing. Ive also been starting to get weak headaches throughout the day. Or having sore muscles from doing minimal exercise. That also makes me just want to do nothing. My stomach is also crazy. It hurts if I eat som...
