When I grow up.

Okay, I think I've figured out what I want to do when I grow up: be a personal chef. What? Are you surprised? I love cooking, I do it all the time. I especially like cooking for others - you know that. I am social and smart and if they asked me to cook in a dress with my legs out I would say, "Yes, yes I will do that". So, what exactly is the next step? I guess I'll need to do a little research. Send out a few emails? But to whom?

Can we talk about my sisters for a moment? Ms. Las Vegas Launa just got a job at UC Riverside and is moving back to California! She recently signed a lease to a townhouse a few miles from campus. I'd offer to be her personal chef but she cooks like a maniac and wouldn't have it any other way. Joy Wilson is in the midst of completing her first cookbook. It's due in a week which has set her in panic mode. I can only imagine how much food she has in her freezer. So, so much. I couldn't be more proud of these two beautiful humans; my talented (extremely ambitious) sisters. They motivate and inspire me every day .. and for them, I hope I do the same.

I'm also trying to run farther and longer in preparation for my half marathon in April. My friend Yitka is an unbelievable athlete - a woman I respect and look up to very much. Sometimes I call her Suze Orman, sometimes I don't. Anyways, last week she ran up and down a mountain in less than two hours and a few days later completed a 25k trail run on Orcas Island. What? Crazy and amazing, but mostly amazing. I can not wait for Whidbey! Also, the Ragnar Relay .. Thank you for inspiring me. I look forward to a Cougar Mountain adventure soon ..
