In one of my lives...

I still receive emails from sites like Mediabistro, (leftover from my old job) and most of the time I just delete them with a little twinge of happiness, but this morning this one caught my eye:

"Kick-start your food writing career in 2012 with our online Food Writing class starting January 9.

You'll create a portfolio of articles including a food feature, restaurant review, personal essay, recipe-driven story, and profile of a food personality with instructor Andrea Strong, the creator of The Strong Buzz."

This brought me back to the days I spent in my cube, wishing my life away, thinking of jobs that I would really enjoy and possibly be good at. Careers like "Menu Writer," "Food Blogger," "Taste Tester," "Restaurant Reviewer," even "Cafe Owner" all crossed my mind at some point. I don't think that I've completely given up on the idea and maybe I'll revisit the idea again sometime soon. But for now, I wont pigeonhole myself by just writing about food ;)

For now, I'm going to make a breakfast smoothie concoction with:

- Plain Greek Yogurt

- Pineapple

- Banana

- Spinach (I swear you don't even taste it)

- A small amount of protein powder (to add to the consistency)

- Ice / Water

I miss our European adventures...

So today a good travel buddy of mine shared some amazing news....she is doing some freelance work, which is requiring her to go back to London. No one deserves this opportunity more - she is a fantastic person, a hard worker, and best of all, she is tons of fun. I wish I was going back with her.
::wistful sigh:: One day.

These things make me....

I usually don't post this many images, let alone all from the same site, but the other day while perusing some blogs for inspiration, I found this tumblr (via one of my faves: awelltraveledwoman)and was immediately drawn to its clean theme, bright colors and beautiful images. It's a bit "girlie" but sometimes a girl just needs that in her life.
