Hungry Girl in San Francisco.

Today after work I managed to go see Hungry Girl aka Lisa Lillien give a talk and sign her new book at Borders in Union Square. I don’t remember how long I have been following her newsletters, but every time I receive them I feel like I’m more well-informed on certain foods. The swap recipes make me realize how really unhealthy most average sweets/general foods are in terms of fat content and calories. Insanity…

Unfortunately, I was not able to attend the whole session due to work ending around 7pm. Still, I was able to grab some free samples/coupons and get my book signed by Lillien. A great way to end a long 10-hour workday, indeed!

T-shirt saying.

While working the carts today, I had a customer come by who was wearing a shirt that had an interesting saying:

“#1 Stud Between the Sheets”

I was a little disturbed yet amused by this shirt; the guy did not look like one to wear such a thing. Oh well, I guess people continue to surprise me.

"Where is…?"

How many times do I have to say this: the hot dog cart is NOT an information booth. Please DO NOT ask me for directions to the Apple Store, Macy’s, Chinatown, et. al. Even if I do know, I do not need to tell you since you are not even a paying customer.

I mean, seriously, why do people not look on a map or at least attempt to find the places for themselves first? I would be more accommodating if they were to tell me that they had been searching for a long time, but most people just approach me and grunt “Where is *insert location here*?!?!” And when I tell them “I don’t know” they just frown at me and act pissed off that I don’t know.

I’m sorry I do not know San Francisco so well, but then again, all the places you ask for I don’t even frequent. Look it up on your map, or go to an actual information booth.

Go with the flow.

It’s hard to realize it most of the time, but sometimes life throws things at me and I freak out. But, when I do freak out, I have to keep reminding myself that I just have to “go with the flow” and let things happen naturally.

There’s no use to try to fight what is happening before my eyes.

life quotation

One step at a time.

From my daily calendar:

“It is a mistake to look too far ahead.
Only one link in the chain of destiny can be handled at a time.”
– Winston Churchill

Sometimes I forget that I need to just take everything one step at a time. After all, if I rush towards the finish line, how can I enjoy everything?
