New New New New!! and Late Late Late Late

So, my ultimate goal was to write a post every single day......

As you can see, I've skipped about 4 days!! hahahahaa!! BUT the good thing is that I have more than a valid excuse.... I haven't had access to a computer in days because.......

#1 New and biggest thing, I have moved to a completely different city! Yep, that's right, I moved to Goleta, "The Goodland". I'm terribly terribly sad that we (Kelly and I) moved out of the Santa Ynez Valley. It was a perfect little country town where you see everyone you know by just driving through town, and you could go into the grocery store and the employees knew your face. We had a cute little cottage house on a small ranch and our landlord was incredibly nice and easy going, and we were surrounded by rolling hills, oak trees, and horse ranches. Its seriously a paradise. The only problem was that we were paying a lot for it, the commute (45min to work each way) was starting to wear on us and our cars, and I think overall, we both felt like our lives were slowing down to a pace that did not match our ages. In addition, I am coming to the point to where I need to start making a huge effort to put money away in order for me to go to school full time and finally finish what I started years ago. Overall, it was a change that needed to happen, and to stay in the Valley wasn't the the most economical choice. **Side note: Huge Shout out to Brian Bull and Kelly's Dad, Tom.. Without those two guys, I don't know how we would have moved all of our heavy and huge things to our new spot. While I'm sure I would've attempted to do it all myself with Kelly, I must remember that I'm not as big as I sometimes think I am. And I'm glad that Kelly recruited them. So, Thanks a million guys...

OK, back to my resolution..

#2 New thing, which isn't that big, but hey, its new.. I tried out a new breakfast place called, Cody's. Now, since I've lived in Goleta and Santa Barbara before I originally moved to the Valley, I've gone to quite a few breakfast places (Its the thing to do in Santa Barbara) and considering the fact that I'm a creature of habit, this is a big feat for me. On top of the fact that I do things out of habit, I also order certain plates out of habit because I just like to stick with what I know I love. So......

#3 New thing, I ordered the Santa Barbara Omelet. OK OK, so I know you're thinking, so what? Everyone orders omelets. But you must understand, I truly believe I order omlettes maybe once a year, if even that. No shit. My normal "safe" plates that I'm guaranteed to love anywhere is either Huevos Rancheros, or Eggs Benedict with the sauce on the side. I NEVER order anything else...So, I surprised Kelly and myself (hahahaha!) and ordered the omlette with tri-tip, avocados, salsa, cheddar cheese, and SOUR CREAM... With that word being in all capitals, it leads me to my next new thing..

#4 New thing, eating dairy simply for pleasure and not because I have no choice. I am fully Lactose-intolerant, and while I do have lactose pills that let me eat anything dairy, I skip over any pleasures in life just so I don't have to pull out an embarrassing pill just to digest a dairy product. Normally I would've just asked my waitress to hold off on the sour cream, but I thought, what the hay! I'm gonna order it because I love it, take a pill, and stop depriving myself of the good shit in life.. I even ordered corn bread instead of my usual sourdough toast, and loved every single crumb..

Overall, even though I missed a few days of blogging, I made a huge effort to do things different to make up for not fully following through with the resolution my first week, and I've got to admit, I'm already loving this "new" resolution.

To explain the picture, I saw this car in the Kmart parking lot and it made me laugh so I thought it was too funny to not share it :)

** Another side note: Stacy Michelle, You bet your cute little ass that one of my blogs are going to be about us flying in one of those air tube, parachute simulator thingies...
