so i go home to zion in three days!  i haven't been home in almost a year and a half.  i will be returning to a new made over home (mom and dad have spent the past year remodeling), returning to even a fatter cat (i think he has gained 10 pounds since last time i saw him), and to a new brother in law.  this will be a first for our family - have an inlaw spend the holidays with us.  i wonder what

so i forgot to post an anniversary posting to myself last week.  november 26th.  the day i came to america from korea via airplane and social worker who delivered me to the salt lake city international airport and into the waiting arms of my parents. my dad likes to say they got the biggest turkey that thanksgiving.  ha ha ha. gobble gobble gobble. i celebrated the memorable occasion by sleeping

so i've always been a cat lover.  i grew up with cats.  dozens of them. literally.  there is a photo of me when i was like four years old on christmas morning pushing a pink buggy filled with kittens.  gifts from santa - who also happened to love cats (see celebrity cat posting and who is in the photo with him.)  while out here in the district, i did have a cat named smokey.  who was very very

neiman marcus, or what we regular people call needless markup, just put out their christmas fantasy book last month.  i would like the ferrari ff to drive my baby pandas around in please. here are the deets on the car so you know what you are getting for your $395,000 well spent on a present for me (dog not included):651-horsepower V12 engine Proprietary, lightweight 4WD system 0 to 60 mph in

i see whoopie pies everywhere these days.  at the grocery store.  at starbucks.  at bakeries.  what gives?  what's the big deal?  according to the fountain of all wisdom (wikipedia), they are giant oreo-like cookies but with soft cake outsides. but isn't that half the yumminess of an orea cookie?  the crunch so you want to dip your cookie in milk?   apparently the whoopie pie is the official

so a friend back in slc who is a videographer/photographer put out a call online yesterday for anybody that had a fat cat who was open to being photographed.  naturally i had to recommend my parents cat coco. my mom says he is quite famous in the neighborhood and kids stop by their house to visit and pet coco.  i keep getting warned by ms. porter that coco is going to replace me in my parents'

so do you ever accept a friend's request on facebook that you have NO IDEA who they are but you click on the mutual friends link and like 20 of your other friends are also friends with this person.  and apparently you grew up with this person.  but you still have no idea who they are. but that's okay.  because now we're facebook friends. this happened to me today.

so i've decided to just create a whole new section of my blog entitled inspiration: experiences in the district. it really is just a fancy name for story corner.but this one i'd like to share did not happen to me. it happened to the boy i have a crush on. okay. i guess i have more than just a crush on him, so i am going to call him "special friend." but i divulge. let's get back to the

so i've recently discovered nbc's parks and recreation on netflix on demand. and i'm totally hooked. i haven't established a relationship with a television show since the west wing where i honestly feel like the characters on this show are my new friends. i dream about them. they make me laugh like really really loud - out loud. and ron reminds me of my dad in a weird sort of way. i think the

so i finally found the number one desire, the thing i want more than anything else to top my giant unrealistic wishlist that i've been keeping here on my blog since 2006. baby pandas. and yes. i want all of them. but if you are the wonderful person that fulfills my heart's desire, i will name the rolie polie one in the middle after you.

so i drove past freedom plaza in the middle of the day last week. was on my way to the passport office and made a wrong turn in downtown traffic that brought me right next to the plaza. this was the first time i had seen the tents of the protestors for the occupy wall street movement. interesting. it reminded me of young women's camp except not in the mountains and with cardboard signs that

so i read a dear friend's blog today and realized this is lame that i've let mine go. even if its just me that reads it, it's still the closet thing i have to a journal these days. so, to my half a dozen readers (yes that's pretty much the members of my family), i am back online and will do my best to update this blog here in the district as often as i can. let's start with baby steps....maybe

so i just celebrated a birthday. one year shy of the ideal, prime age. i was asked how i felt about turning another year older. and i replied, i feel very good about it since each year in my 30's seem to get better and better. why? was the response. why do you think each year gets better and better? and the answer: because i've finally gotten to know who i am and more importantly, love who i

this has to be one of my favorite tom cruise interviews that he's done on hometeaching. especially when he laughs. it just warms my heart.

so Robert Holley is a famous american in korea. Also a mormon. i first heard about Robert Holley on my mission. i believe he had served his mission in Pusan and then later moved back to korea and all the koreans looooovvveee how good he can speak korean.this commercial is awesome.

so last night on the daily show, jon stewart and stephen colbert announced they were teaming up their rallies on october 30th here in dc into one giant rally to restore sanity and/or fear. this didn't surprise me since the two go together like peanut butter and jelly. but what did surprise me is when oprah showed up via videoconference and put her seal of approval on the rally!and then

so i've been working on a macbook pro now for the last 2.5 months. i've felt hip. i've felt breezy. i've felt like my new laptop goes with every pair of shoes that i own and every one of my outfits. i've felt unbelievably frustrated.you see, i was given some bad information when i first took my new job. i was given the choice of getting a mac or a pc."how many people in the office have a mac?"

so today Stephen Colbert testified in front of congress on immigration. he has a segment on his show called the fallback position where he goes and works other vocations for a day in case his current job as a tv talk show host doesn't last.recently he spent a day as a migrant farm worker and he explained that experience at the congressional hearing today. if i had been there and was a

so i'm sure a lot of you have heard that jon stewart is hosting a rally to restore sanity here in DC at the lincoln memorial. if you missed his announcement on the daily show, i've posted the video below.The Daily Show With Jon StewartMon - Thurs 11p / 10cRally to Restore Sanitywww.thedailyshow.comDaily Show Full EpisodesPolitical HumorTea Partyit will be held october 30th, saturday. for those of

so i found this on youtube and i have to say it was pretty dang entertaining for a friday morning. again, its amazing what people can do when they have lots of time on their hands.

so i found this fake trailer on the web today and i had to post. Toy Story 3 and Inception were two of my favorite movies this summer. but i would never have thought you could try and combine the two. somebody had way too much time on their hands.the funniest thing about this is the trailer makes the ken doll the protagonist of the movie. that and the scene when the stuffed elephant sneezes.....

so i find that the true sign of having made a new city you've transitioned into your new home is when people mistake you for being a native or long term resident of the city. i remember how happy it would make me when people would ask me in new york city for directions to get to times square or central park or some other tourist attraction. it said to me, you don't look like a tourist! you look

i need to create a new logo for this segment on my blog. but i don't have time this afternoon but i wanted to post this before i forgot.so to commute to work now, i walk almost a mile (on cold or lazy days, take a bus) to mcpherson square metro station and take the orange line to virginia where my office is. the metro commute takes about 20 minutes - so just enough time to get through a chapter

so yes, i've moved again. i'm a 20001 zip code now. i live in a place that has no representation and lots of taxation. my metro stop is a five minute walk from the white house.with this move, that means i had to change the title of the blog once again. but not the address. i think twinkie will always somehow still be in manhattan. so no worries about changing your bookmark addresses. just don't

so an old college friend got married in december and it was a chance for all of us oldies to get together and stuff our faces with california rolls and chilled shrimp cocktail.always helpful to have friends that are now doctors.....you never know when you might choke on your california roll and need some medical care.

so sometimes you make mistakes in life. i'm learning that as i grow older and older - yet look younger and younger as each year passes (hee hee). and then its important to take a pause and laugh at those mistakes. so let's all take a long pause right now while we laugh my purchase that arrived at my office a few weeks ago. i have no idea why i bought this. and the crazy thing is i thought it

so a few weekends ago, i got to see an old college friend mauna pua who lives in virginia and has an incredible job in DC. i usually get out to that area about once a quarter and its always great fun to catch up with mauna pua, talk about college days, and cuddle with her cat pistachio.mauna pua has just recently bought this fabulous townhouse, so i had to invite myself over for the weekend and

so the other day at work, a coworker looked at my face and told me she could see that i had sun damage.i told her thank you for letting me know when i really wanted to say, "at least i don't have wrinkles."but i decided that sometimes keeping my mouth shut is the best way to be honest.....plus ironically she works in HR and i didn't want to be written up for disrespect'n....

so i love people watching on the nyc subway. its like this hodge podge of worlds collide and you have rich people sitting with poor - sometimes homeless - people. you have black and white and yellow and brown people sitting very close to one another. you have smelly people, noisy people, sad people, and friendly people.i was on the subway this past friday when this group of boys got on. they

so i spent this weekend in ct visiting my favorite little people - that includes mickey too. even though she is taller than me, she is my younger sister - which translates into my "little" sister.

so this past weekend was the 2010 HRC gala at the waldorf-astoria hotel in nyc. uncle t bought his usual table which had us seated second row and center. amazing view and needless to say, a better table than sarah jessica parker and solidad o'brian had. yes, they were seated two tables away from us in honor of the HRC sponsor of the year, time warner.the food was tasty which started out with this

so i always know when i've gone to bed hungry because i have very vivid dreams about food. last night apparently was one of those nights. this time it was cookies. all sorts of cookies. i was in washington DC with mickey and mattie and i went into this sweet shop where they had a plethora of cookies and i think i spent an hour in dream time in there picking and and sampling cookies. there

so i was home at my parents' house this weekend since mickey was in town from ct. my mom had us open up a box or time capsule we sealed in 2000 that had a variety of things we had all selected to put in there. i honestly have no recollection of doing this. but sure enough - we opened the box and there was my questionnaire that i had filled out along with a part of my baby blanket (which by the

so my colleague just told me that i was a shark. that any time i sniff blood in the air, i come a com'n. this got me thinking to see if there was any truth to his statement. and i do concur with his statement with just one stipulation: i don't go hunting for the blood - the blood just comes to me and i take full advantage of it.for example, what are you so suppose to do when one of the VP's here

so i decided that i needed something to come home to, now that i'm living alone. so last weekend i went and bought three plants. i already have one plant in my house and its almost dead. but i've made a new resolution this year to be a better plant caretaker; thus, my decision to go and buy three more living things!so as i sat on my sofa last night and gazed at my three new wonders and

so this has got to be the cutest thing i've so far in 2010. this appliance makes 6 mini cupcakes in just 5 minutes and can also be used for cornbread and muffins too! for a steal at $23.99, how can i resist not getting this?

so there is a new musical about president obama's "yes we can" election campaign that premiered in Germany last weekend. the musical includes love songs by the president to his wife michelle and duets with hillary clinton. i would love to pay money to see the duets! of course we couldn't have a musical about the 2008 campaign without john mccain and sarah palin, who belt out songs

so if i had an iPhone, i would for sure buy this cool mosiac cover for 39.95 where a 100% of the proceeds go to the red cross in helping with the Haiti effort.inspired and sampled from the vibrant colors and market life of Haiti the scene is abstracted through fracturing but rebuilt into a beautiful new pattern.

so after having breakfast at ihop with mickey this morning and being scolded on not updating my blog as of recent months, its got me thinking if i want to keep this blog a-going or not."you should just cancel your blog!" exclaimed mickey."me and pinky were looking at it the other day and its been almost a year since you've updated it!"actually, mickey, it was just last september when i discussed

so yes, i'm in mongolia. i guess not outer mongolia, but more in central mongolia. i arrived in the capital, ulaan bataar, late last night after spending 15 gloriously, long hours in the seoul airport. that wasn't planned. i was actually only suppose to spend 6 hours there, but the winds were too harsh in mongolia and the planes got grounded.no, this trip wasn't planned. its for work and i

i think we could all use a vampire protection kit - especially with this new crop of handsome and trendy vampires like edward cullen that could be living amongst us.dangling from a 20” sterling silver chain, you’ll find a silver hand-forged cross and a hand-carved hardwood stake. you really just need a pair of mini garlic bulbs to dry out & wear as earrings to go along with it.

The body of a shark was left lying in the middle of downtown Miami street after two men tried to sell it to several fish markets. The men apparently carried the five or six-foot-long fish around on the city's Metromover downtown train, prompting calls to police. News footage Tuesday night showed the dead animal in the street with police officers and cruisers nearby. Two stations reported that a

so i recently cut my hair off. probably at least six or seven inches. i've had long hair for almost four years, so it was a big decision, but it's been great to have short hair again!i did this last week while i was out of town in DC, and i came into the office on monday to many comments and compliments of my new hairstyle. one lady in particular kept telling me how much she liked it short and

so i tried to get out and see the lovely scenery western mass has to offer while i've been out there. one saturday i explored a trail that parallels the railroad tracks and lets you see these lovely keystone bridges that are the oldest of its kind. unfortunately the trail was still really muddy so half the time i had to walk on the railroad tracks. that is.....until i saw signs posted that

so sometimes i have to travel for my job. okay. i guess these days, it's more like all the time rather than sometimes. i know i've been very very bad at not updating my blog and i'm gonna try and do better. i promise.last weekend, work needed me to do an emergency trip to san fran. and of course it was quite the trial for me to have to fly off to san fran and revel in the sun and good food

so as i lay on my bed in my hotel room, contemplating life and my purpose here, i flip through the channels of my cable tv and the same pressing thought keeps returning my mind: why are there so many dang channels of ESPN? we've got just plain ESPN. then we have ESPN HD. then ESPN 2. and finally ESPN classic. next we'll have ESPN real world. ESPN true hollywood story. and ESPN office.i'm

so i've been spending the past month in western mass and ct for work. western mass by day; ct by night.....or at least on the weekends. since the beginning of the year, i've spent two full weekends at home in utah and the rest on the east coast. as much as i'm tired of living out of a suitcase, i haven't minded the commute. the best of both worlds.dal was a sweetheart and introduced me to his

so this book cracked me up. this "diet" book reads like a novel while imparting words of wisdom regarding everything from how to navigate takeout menus and the drive-thru, to why you can't eat like he does, to how to grocery shop with him without losing your sanity.i don't know why i find this so amusing. probably because it would be very helpful if i indeed had a boyfriend. and there is no way

so i was able to spend two weekends in a row (make that three, counting this weekend) on the east coast. i split my time between the big apple and ct, which are both considered second homes. i got to spend a lot of time with the uncles, matty, mastah p, and cat.i think heaven is when you introduce friends to other friends and they end up becoming friends! aka mastah p and matty, cat and matty

so a friend sent along his christmas card to me that he received from senator hatch's office and much to my surprise, hatch is posing with his wife and president bush. a very handsome trio.but what caught my eye were the small blue and yellow diamonds on each side of the card.if you just slightly turn the diamond a little to the right to make it "straight", it ends up looking like this:which is

so this morning on this fine christmas eve, i decided to treat myself to a starbucks peppermint hot chocolate and TWO vanilla bean mini scones (its the holidays, so i get to eat two). when i drove up to the window to pay, the starbucks cashier said, the man in front of you wishes you a merry christmas and has paid for your drink and scones. wow. i had heard stories like this but this had never

so this past weekend, i flew the beehive coop and ran away to CT. i haven't been back there since may and i haven't been back to the big apple since march. it was a long time coming and made me realize that a part of me will always remain on the east coast.matty is now living with uncle t and c and that's an even better bonus. he was very sweet and came and picked me up at JFK at 6:30 am in the

so i got to meet Hill last month at the utah dem fundraising event in WVC. yep the west side. i thought it was cool they had the event over there instead of the usual park city or downtown venue. it made me feel urban. it made me feel dangerous. it made me feel multi-cultured. okay. not really, but it was still pretty cool. and Hill was very nice and gracious. and since most of my fellow

so this has to be the coolest thing i've seen today. the BOSKEE Sky Planter. each fern plant is designed to hang from the ceiling, saving valuable floor or desk space and looking pretty damn cool to boot. the sky planter features an internal reservoir system which feeds water directly to a plant's roots, so there's no dripping or mess. but the best part is this for us fellow

so nbc released an article today about obama's dream team short list for his cabinet. amongst the speculation are the names of gov. arnold schwarzenneger and colin powell to fill key positions. both republicans. can i just throw in my pipe dream too? wouldn't it be great if he asked mitt romney to be his secretary of treasury to help with this economic mess we are in?it would be almost like

so this week has been happy for some and sad for others with the outcome of the elections. and now i hope we can as a nation and as family and friends finally heal. put aside our differences and become unified. realize its not a democrat that will be in the white house, but our president of the united states. united. i never realized before how key that word is.i've been trying to figure out

so last night i expected to be up pretty much all night long. i even invited some people over to keep me company. but we knew the results by 8:30 pm. and we questioned the pundits on CNN for making such a hasty and early projected statement. so we switched over to MSNBC and they were saying the same thing! and we all know in the mouth of two or three witnesses, the truth shall be told. so it

so sometimes a friend has to help a friend with their halloween costume. nate decided he wanted to be a bearded lady for his trick or treating. unfortunately he had the dress and the beard, but no bra. so i lent him my favorite purple bra.and sometimes a friend has to teach a friend some smooth moves. and thus began the miseducation of christian from nate.

so i have a new addition to my life. the yellow nano that i'm calling "sunshine." because she surely has brought back sunshine into my life. for over a year i've been using my video ipod that was given to me as a gift, and then two weeks after i received it, i dropped it on my parents' kitchen floor and broke the inside part of the screen. the ipod still worked just fine, except the screen was

so i had a mental and emotional breakdown yesterday. i didn't leave my apartment for the ENTIRE day. not even for church. so sorry mom and dad. it was partially a self-imposed breakdown and also a had-no-choice-but-just-happened breakdown. but it was much needed and i feel much better today.last week was pretty much the week from h-e-double toothpicks with some major highlights that were great

so my lovely roommate sent this over to me. the million dollar question is do you vote for them or not?

so i've been in DC for a week for a seminar on how to be more successful on winning PEPFAR projects through USAID and CDC. i'm out here with a few colleagues from the company and we are all getting a kick out of teacher, who talks as fast as an auctioneer and the longer he talks, the more prone he is to drop his consonants.for example, he was telling my coworker that she had a "friendly" face,

so christmas really came early this year. these presidential candidate dress up magnets are adorable! and only $15! i really hope i find a certain set of these in my holiday stocking....all depending on nov. 4th's results.i may have to get mickey the mccain ones since she loves elvis so much.....

so the presidential candidates met last night at the alfred e. smith charity dinner in nyc at the waldorf-astoria hotel. they did a roast of each other and i have to admit, both sides were pretty damn funny. almost as funny as SNL.below is a four minute highlight of both candidates' roasts.

so its world food day on thurday, october 16th and slc is now officially celebrating it with these participating restaurants:Squatters Pub Brewery 147 West 300 South Mill Creek Coffee Roaster 657 South Main Street One World Everybody Eats Community Kitchen 41 South

so this weekend i worked both sat and sun night at resto to set up the christmas floor displays. i know. its october. and we haven't even had halloween. but retail is getting a head start, probably due to the horrible market we are in (except today we did rebound 900 points!) and with the glaring brightness of the holiday season shining upon us as we stand naked in the light with no money.

so i have this problem. i have to always be multi-tasking. and i know that doesn't always mean i'm affective in what i accomplish. i'm sure if i just put my mind to it and concentrated on just one thing, i would do that thing much much better. but i can never get my mind to concentrate on just one thing. so i concentrate on a few things - sometimes a gazillion at a time - and get most thing

so is it super bad that with this horrible market, my heart still loves overly expensive things? love this cherry blossom collection hp wireless mini laser mouse. its completely covered in swarovski crystals - like all mouses should be. and the cool $125 purchase price even includes a battery!christmas is only 76 days away!

so i made the mistake of finally looking at my 401k balance today. and i had this debbie downer message waiting for me (refer to image above).seriously, -34.2%? is that even possible? so i did what anyone would do. i doubled my contributions and reallocated 25% of my contributions into bonds with hope that someday this market will rebound. call me insane. but desperate times call for

so williams sonoma did it again. another great cake pan. someone please buy this and invite me over to partake in the spiced pecan pumpkin decadence. and nothing says fall better than cake shaped like a pumpkin patch. i'm thinking a thin drizzle of orange frosting would be the perfect topper.

so i'm in sacramento right now and i forgot that my blackberry doesn't automatically adjust for the new time zone you're in. so when i set the alarm on my phone last night, i forgot to calculate in an extra hour. and i woke up at 4:30 instead of 5:30 this morning. it was a good 30 minutes before i realized what happened - 22 minutes too late to go back to bed. i already had half my hair curled.

so this weekend was a whirlwind. a good whirlwind. a but a whirlwind nonetheless that leaves you feeling exhausted and winded and your hair all mussed. and a little dizzy. and you have to figure out your bearings again and make sure you're going in the right direction. yep. it was conference weekend.uncle t flew in for it and it was so great to see and spend time with him. i went to afternoon

so i have some news. i've taken on a new hobby - that is, a new part time job. i am working at restoration hardware, one shift a week. now people, please don't get all worried! it's not because i've fallen on hard times, even though the banking industry has eaten up my 401k and i won't be able to retire until i'm 93 and half years old and i'll never be able to buy a house. but i love resto

so its official. on nov. 2nd, homer simpson will vote for obama.apparently, on this episode the voting machine changes his vote to mccain and then the machine tries to kill homer. i hope this really doesn't happen to anybody on election day - that is, that their vote gets switched by the machine.

so i want these versatile cashmere gloves which you can make long or short depending on the weather and the outfit your wearing that day. and what a steal at $60 for cashmere!i wish they made gloves that had different finger length sizes as well, since i can never find gloves that fit me right. they are all too big. even children's gloves. they pinkies are too long. that's really sad.

so at the gym today, they were showing independence day - the flick that came out in the 90's with will smith and jeff goldblum in it. it's the sappiest, cheesiest, patriotistic, kick-some-alien-butt, bad special effects movie ever, but i love it. and it still brought a tear to my eye when will and jeff strut away from the burning UFO they just crashed into the great salt lake salt flats with

so in april 2007 i did a posting on the possible pipe dream that the comic book hero spider-man was being turned into a musical on broadway and that bono and the edge were penning the music. but apparently its no longer a pipe dream. marvel chairman david maisel says that the show may hit broadway as soon as 2009. and the edge and bono have finished up the score.according to IESB.net, casting

so some brilliant person has come up with the Sarah Palin Name Generator. if i had been adopted or born into the palin family, my name would have been Pie Gallon Palin. which is absolutely remarkable since i love and make pies! and gallons is one of my favorite forms of measurement! you can find gallons of milk, gallons of ice cream, gallons of gas, etc. etc. i love my new name!type in yours

so i moved this weekend. and my body knows it. i ache everywhere. and i didn't even do any really heavy lifting. okay, i lifted my bed for 3 brief seconds to put the risers underneath, but does that really count? but nonetheless, all my muscles are screaming at me and i really thought i was in a decent shape. especially since i lift weights with five pound dumb bells three times a week. that

i love SNL during election year. all of their sketches should just be around the campaign. that and alex tribec from jeopardy and james lipton of inside the actor's studio. that would truly be SNL heaven.

so i'm having some emotional withdrawals with all of the hoop-la that is going on right now with the financial mess known as the US economy. besides seeing my 401k plummet, my emotional response goes past that. you see, i have a soft spot in my heart towards lehman brothers since they were the company to offer me my first job in nyc. which for no really concrete reason except the weird feeling
