January 2010

As soon as we returned to Portland, I received a call about 3 week accounting position with a restaurant company. I took it and it turned into something permanent, which is good. Unfortunately, there are no benefits and it doesn't pay much. Oh well at least I am not bored!

I have absolutely 0 pictures from January, so I will showcase the month with images courtesy of Google.

I turned 31, which has been slightly confusing for me. Multiple times I have said and thought I turned 30 this year. I guess old-age is kicking in. Rusty planned a great dinner with friends at our favorite Cuban restaurant Pambiche. After dinner, we headed to Pix Patisserie, which is a fancy little dessert place. YUM! YUM! YUM! I promise to take anyone that comes to Portland to this little gem.


Rusty and I also made a few lifestyle changes. We started sleeping 8 hours every night, which has been fantastic! I am so alert at work and overall feel great. I am sure this will not last forever, but I am enjoying it while I can.


We are eating more on the vegetarian side. Some of my favorite things are:

Coconut Creamer


Almond Milk


Mexican Stuffed Peppers - I just made these tonight for the first time. YUM!


We also started using cloth napkins. Originally, I liked the idea of reducing the amount of paper towels we were using, but now I love it because it makes meals so much nicer. I would highly recommend fancy cloth napkins to everyone. We got these lovelies from Pottery Barn. I love that store.


Bring on February!
