Remember when I waited 2 whole hours for what was hyped as “the best ribs to ever grace the face of the earth”? Yea. This: I got home and was starving (since it was 2pm CA time and my stomach was on New Orleans time and I hadn’t even had breakfast) so immediately I opened…
I arrived on Friday and am feeling seriously lucky that all my flights were on time. Which is sayin something, since I had to go through Denver. My mom picked me up from the airport and we decided to take the Golden Gate Bridge home (as opposed to the ever-picturesque Bay Bridge- HA!) Something I…
I’m getting excited to fly home for Christmas! I had a little prelude to the holidays with our department party at a local establishment. I can’t wait for all the holiday festivies!
