a sprightly sip was all it took, and now I’m hook(ed). I love coffee.
I also can’t sleep at night. With my newly inherited insomnia, I wrote poetic words, possible new blog titles, and thought of portmanteaus that would ease me to a deep slumber.
can thoughts doodle? apparently, they can, according to doodle girl. (I think I could’ve used the name better.) or would you buy liquor if it was spelled lickor/lickher? I’ll stop there.
There is nothing that gives me greater joy than a 2 oz fig fennel & almond dark chocolate (70% cacao) bar, vegan, and organic & fair trade certified, from theo chocolate factory, 3400 Phinney, that one can buy for $5 at Treehouse. OK; maybe I’m exaggerating.
After indulging ever so extravagantly and lusciously (don’t understand how? just eat one..and give a piece to me), I fell in love with not only the bar itself but the beautiful artwork on the outer wrapping.
A Mother’s day design…I miss my mama
and now I miss her even more!
How my family would look if I had a younger brother
and now I miss Milo.
I just chose the ones that reminded me of home. You’re bound to find something that reminds you of home.
I’m back! I almost forgot my own url. I typed “hellojello” into chrome’s search bar and then I realized, it’s been too long. I must admit, I’ve been too caught up yelping, basking in the glory of being a yelp elite (thank you! please hold your applause), that I’ve neglected my beloved blog and most importantly, my fans who’ve so passionately followed my site and gave me some hits (which, I’m sure, is never more than 20).
In any case, I found this adorable fabric pattern blog, sproutdesign.
This color goes so well with my blog colors. I wonder if I can have it as my background…
If I had a daughter, I would dress her up in this little cutie. And it has pockets!
Back to school after this weekend! I’m excited for good food, Robert Reich, and resuming the Edible Schoolyard!
In a word–FANTASTIC. So witty, laugh-out-loud funny, and aesthetically brilliant! and can’t help but love the catchy soundtrack, with Jarvis Cocker!
Looks just like him!
2. black friday with prairie
Nestle was giving out free cookies at the mall. We sprinted down the escalators and extended our hands out to the lady. She looked at us and asked, “Are you girls 18?”
I’m going to embrace my youthful face. Therefore, I can get away with buying one of these babies.
3. Mexico with parent’s church
We were driving to Mexico and the pastor was sitting in our van. My dad made a sudden stop and a whole bunch of empty corona bottles rolled to his feet. He picked them up and asked, “Are these yours?”
“Not mine! I promise!” –Mom
My dad loves his walkie-talkies. Once we hit Mexico, he would yell “¡Que Paso!” and try to interrupt people’s conversations. He told me it’s the funnest to use at campgrounds.
Here he is, standing really awkwardly with the amigos.
We went to a really poor village farm close to Ensenada. From afar, we saw the carnival cruise ship we were just on a couple months back. It felt weird.
The children can’t speak any Spanish; they only speak their native Indian language because they’re nomadic. One 3 year old boy kept on poking me and saying “cochi! cochi!” but I just shrugged it off.
We walked over to where the pigs are, and I asked, “Que es?” And he replied, “Cochi!” ugh.
“Don’t get too close…they’ll bit your fingers off.” Lean, mean piggies.
We also provided snacks.
It’s something you would find here. And then the world would hate us. No worries–I prayed for everyone’s health and strength.
This is how the Koreans do missions. Spread the love of Jesus through spicy ramen.
I had a wonderful weekend with some beautiful ladies from home. They spread the warmth and bliss all around. I realized that socal must be a sunshiney place if it produces such cheerful people like them.
