35 Días de Español | oakland 2 oc
https://oakland2oc.wordpress.com/2013/04/10/35-dias-de-espanol
Adventures in moving back home to orange county. 35 Días de Español. Me parece que he estado estudiando los idiomas extranjeros toda mi vida. He estudiado dos dialectos de chino, francés, español, tagalo, y un poco árabe. Me avergüenza decir que todavía no hablo ninguna lengua muy bien. Aun cuando viví en la China, yo no sabía suficiente chino ni para entender las noticias. Sin embargo, me encanta aprender idiomas y deseo continuar estudiándolos. Mi novio es de familia mexicana, pero no habla español, su...

35 Food Adventures | oakland 2 oc
https://oakland2oc.wordpress.com/2013/05/06/35-food-adventures
Adventures in moving back home to orange county. In my heart of hearts, I have to admit that I’m more like a suburban Orange County cook. My big accomplishment last week was that I made paella : I went to a big grocery store and bought a box of rice mix with a spice packet, a bag of frozen vegetables, and a packaged sausage and threw it all in a slow cookerand even then I kind of messed it up. 35 Días de Español.

35 Days of Yoga | oakland 2 oc
https://oakland2oc.wordpress.com/2012/12/17/35-days-of-yoga
Adventures in moving back home to orange county. 35 Days of Yoga. My hope for 35 days of yoga was to markedly improve. I had imagined a supported headstand, heels reaching the floor in downward dog, maybe even a block-less ardha chandrasana. I didn’t get those things. But I did get some unexpected lessons. Lesson #1: I am not as patient as I think I am. Lesson #2: Do not be quick to judge. Then I remember that I don’t actually want to spend a sweat-soaked 90 minutes every day turning my muscles to jelly.

The OC Burger Challenge | oakland 2 oc
https://oakland2oc.wordpress.com/2013/05/26/the-oc-burger-challenge
Adventures in moving back home to orange county. The OC Burger Challenge. How best to spend a free afternoon in Orange County? A visit to the beach? Nope A day at Disneyland? Not at all. Instead, we spent four hours completing the OC-version of the Ultimate Burger Challenge. Those of you in the Bay would have to drive to Hayward or Walnut Creek to visit most of these places. Love the suburbs. But, alas, the only place I’m going to find a Trueburger is in Downtown Oakland. Was it worth an entire afternoon...

Adventures in moving back home to orange county. 35 Days of Food Journaling. It was harder than I expected. Who knew that you could eat half a bag of snap peas and not remember it 3 hours later? Who knew that you could eat so many homemade waffles that you lose count? Friday, December 21st Day 6. Free food at my weekly committee meeting. I’m such a sucker for free food. Lots of nonprofit meetings means lots of free food. Strawberry original Yoplait yogurt and a banana. Yes, this is my third time eating i...

Bye Bye OC | oakland 2 oc
https://oakland2oc.wordpress.com/2013/06/17/bye-bye-oc
Adventures in moving back home to orange county. No point in beating around the bush: I’m moving. I gave living in OC a decent try for almost two years, but this summer I will be moving to Los Angeles. Guarded was a new revelation for me. Well, not so much a revelation as someone I’m close to told me point blank that I’m guarded.). Not that leaving Orange County will change those things about me, but it’s worth a try.

Adventures in moving back home to orange county. I lived in Orange County for the first half of my life and in the Bay Area for the second half, 15 years in each. I never thought I would return to OC, but I’m learning to accept that you can’t control life nor love. These are my reflections on moving back. 2 Responses to “About”. June 13, 2011 at 10:20 am.

35 Acts of Kindness | oakland 2 oc
https://oakland2oc.wordpress.com/2013/02/25/35-acts-of-kindness
Adventures in moving back home to orange county. 35 Acts of Kindness. When I started this round of 35-day activities, I used the phrase random acts of kindness . While I strongly believe in coordinated and sustained acts to achieve social change, there’s something about the intimacy and small joy of random acts of kindness that I’ve always been enamored of. Here’s my list for anyone who wants to do the same:. 1 Cheer on marathon runners at a race. 2 Pick up trash at the beach or any public area. 18 Make ...
