I should really start using this regularly again. I need to. Even if it's just for me...
A friend of mine randomly called me this dreary, rainy morning as I sat on my couch playing Sudoku on my phone. We each ran to the elementary school and met up for a nice run. When we split up again so we could each run back to our homes I thought I was going to be miserable, instead I was able to run almost the entire way without stopping. I just mapped the route and am satisfied with the 5.5 mile total :) I loved getting caught in a little shower on the run back too!

I was bullied throughout elementary school but people who said they were my friends... if there had been some of the anti-bullying programs that there are today maybe I would have known what to do, but instead I internalized this and just accepted that it was the way things were. It followed me through jr high and high school to some extent where I almost let it beat me, but I survived. Being in the professional world now, as a "grown-up" I still see and sometimes experience bullying, also known as lateral violence. I have the courage to speak up now, and I owe that to my experiences... it's not right and nobody should have to go through it but nobody should get away with it either. So I guess I'd have to say that some of my co-workers are the biggest bullies in my life right now.
What is your favorite foreign film? Do you think there should be an American remake?
Run Lola Run
no way should there be an American remake! nobody could ever do it better :)
I love Benny & Joon :) the Pirate movies are also great! I guess I just love Johnny Depp, we also share today as our birthday.
If you had to eat the same breakfast everyday for a year (and it would be prepared and served to you), what would you choose?
Waffles with real maple syrup and butter with a side of crispy local bacon, glass of oj or a strawberry yogurt smoothie :) any fruit really...
Ingredients
* 1 cup steel cut oats
* 1 cup dried cranberries
* 1 cup dried figs
* 4 cups water
* 1/2 cup half-and-half
Directions
In a slow cooker, combine all ingredients and set to low heat. Cover and let cook for 8 to 9 hours.
Stir and remove to serving bowls. This method works best if started before you go to bed. This way your oatmeal will be finished by morning.
Put 1/4 c. of canola oil in a 4qrt pot and fry 2 cups of rice, 4 garlic cloves, and 1/2 onion until browned. Chop 1/2 bunch of cilantro and add to 4 cups of water and add to pot. Put in 3 or 4 tbsp of Pollo Maria bouillon (test the desired saltiness) and stir until boiling. Cover pot and simmer on low for 20 minutes or until rice is tender.
