Although I’m not the type of girl who wants flowers & designer gifts ever, Josh surprised me with my favorite flowers, homemade dinner, & dessert for Valentine’s Day. The flowers have already been thrown out by now, but the half-eaten macarons are still sitting in my fridge. I should probably finish those before they start to harbor a safe haven for mold. Last weekend would be one of the most delightful weekends I had in a while, but every weekend with @CupofJosh is like a spoonful of honey. He made me dinner for Valentine’s Day–we make each other dinner every weekend, he just got me dessert this time–we had a night out on the town for Bryan’s birthday, we got work done together the next day, & to end the weekend, we celebrated our first anniversary as a couple. Without trying to melt your eyeballs out with cheese, I’ll make this quick & to the point: my year with Josh has been nothing short of wonderful & if you asked me, I wouldn’t be able to tell you when the “honeymoon stage” ended because I still feel over the moon because of all the feeelzz for mah boothang. As is evident, my level of literacy diminishes when I have to express the feels.
Last weekend + a new recipe in pictures followed after the jump!

Not too long ago, Josh & I went to the Long Beach Antique Market where I purchased a bunch of succulents to make terrariums. Since the last time I made Beach Themed Terrariums, I still had a large brown paper bag full of supplies needed to make more terrariums. All I really needed was soil, salt crystals, & activated carbon & I was ready to plant!
Putting together a terrarium is very simple as is taking care of them. They’re really low maintenance–unlike a needy significant other–& require little water & a good amount of sunlight. If you’re interested in making your own terrarium, but you don’t know where to start check out my tutorial here. If you’re interested in finding a significant other that relies only on sunlight, water, & love, I’d suggest you try harvesting a PlantSim. They’re not real so, guess you have to deal with human needs like the rest of us!

 Sango Sushi’s Caterpillar Roll. |
After a long day of studying, I figured I really couldn’t focus anymore until I fulfilled my sushi craving so I ordered take-out & watched Star Trek: Into the Darkness. Sushi + Star Trek = Best Day of the Week. As Donna Meagle & Tom Haverford will tell you, sometimes when you’ve had a rough week, you just have to Treat. Yo. Self!

It is to my understanding that 46 out of the 50 states of America are currently experiencing a Polar Vortex in which Mother Nature has decided to freeze everyone besides California, southern Texas, southern Florida, & Hawaii. There have been plenty of jabs at the scientists that coined the term “Global Warming” because it’s clearly frozen in America, but that’s why many of us use the term “Climate Change” instead, because “Global Warming” can be a misnomer. While the planet is indeed getting warmer, it also means extreme weather changes. One man’s frost is another man’s heat & one man’s flood is another man’s drought. In California’s case, we’re really hurting for rain so if one of those 46 states could just ship us over some snow, that’d be so great. We’d be sure to send them a thank you card: Wow. Such Snow. Much Appreciate. Very Kind. Much Thanks. Wow.
