Trader Joes Fan

I try my hardest to try something new every time I go to Trader Joe's. Sometimes I get lucky and get something pretty tasty....other times... it makes me want to quit Trader Joe's.
Haha, side note. While in an airport in Turkey, a man chats with us and wonders about American women. He asks, "Do you burp?" Puzzled...so we didn't really respond to his question. The Turkish man proceeds to tell us in English, "I quit my girlfriend 'cause she burps too much!!" Still puzzled.... us Americans were pretty amazed by his candid statement. Maybe some break ups are for not so complicated reasons that aren't truthfully told.
Anyhow, back to the blogging. Well, my new decision maker for trying something new at TJs will be based on other's ratings of TJs products found at Trader Joe's Fan! I suggest trying the Just Bananas and the frozen Chocolate Croissants! Yuuuuummm u______u


Dan, a random patient from the past, many moons ago went on his honeymoon in Tulum, Mexico. He ended up buying property there on his honeymoon and now had a hotel and spend most of the year on the beach wearing crocs! (That's how we started our conversation... when I asked how much he likes his crocs) They are beach bungalows!! BEACH BUNGALOWS! How awesome! If you are interested in vacationing or honeymooning somewhere in a BUNGALOW, check out Zamas!! It's not far from some Mayan ruins. And, you stay in a BUNGALOW

Bored in the Bay

Are ya? Are ya? Always looking for new people to come explore this crazy land we don't appreciate enough!! If you haven't seen this already, it's my list of places to eat and and go to. It's not every great place... My poor memory fails to add to this list. Anyhow, let me know if I should add any "must visits"! Hope it's helpful to ya too! MAP

Next adventure! Who's in? Tide pooling at Half Moon Bay! Also, I have friends that went horseback riding there too!! SoooOOOoo awesome! Fitzgerald Marine Reserve

So, maybe August 9th?







My future plans.. What does it include? Welps, not thinking about kids right now, but who knows. What I am thinking, I'm thinking when I'm 34, I wanna be in Hawaii, Oregon, Missouri or Tennessee On August 21, 2017 to experience the sight of a Total Eclipse!! I was inspired by a patient who is going to Beijing this year to see the eclipse there. Fun fact: "`And on that day,' says the Lord God, `I will make the Sun go down at noon, and darken the Earth in broad daylight'." (Amos 8:9) "That day" was June 15, 763 B.C. The date of this eclipse is confirmed by an Assyrian historical record known as the Eponym Canon.

Honestly, I think it was "Heroes" that sparked the interest!


The same patient that is going to see the total eclipse in Beijing, we chatted also about Auoras or Northern Lights. Haha, I feel like such a nerd for looking this up. But yes, I wanna be in Alaska sometime in March to see these.
Recently NASA claims to know what causes the dancing light shows.

How to Pick Fruit

If you're like me...still learning through trial and error when I buy produce. I think I found what will help tremendously!

It will make our lives easier and happier.
Easier cause now we know how to pick fruit and happier cause we're eating the delicious ones!

Here is a link to picking good fruit!

The missing Match

Back when I first started working as a RDH, one of the cooooolest guys I met was in a band. Unbeknown to me, he was really famous! I just thought..."Aww...that's cute...you're in band!" Well I went home to look him up, after the assistant told me that I should have gotten his autograph. He is in a band called the Match*s. Yes, that's correct, I cleaned the teeth of a rock star!! O MAN! Sad though, I just found out that he is leaving the Match*s to pursue other dreams. I like their music, check it out! :D

Playtime begins this weekend!

Patient #2 works at Pixar in software development! OOh, nerdy job with perks! She in fact shows up in the movie. So, in the scene where it shows all the past captains, she is the 2nd one, the only woman captain, who eventually is succeeded by this guy.


This looks soooo cool! Patient #4 suggested I do this as a random fun thing!
Berkeley Kite Festival












Today, patient #7 owns a bead shop on Park Ave. in Alameda. She will sell her items here!
Alameda Art and Wine Faire

Increase your playtime

I decided this afternoon that there are too many good things and I must share them and not hoard them all to myself! My favorite thing about being a hygienist is all the cool things you learn from patients! As we get more "mature", I feel like we can lose our innocence and playfulness. Playing is good for you.

So I commend the enjoyment of life, because nothing is better for a man under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany him in his work all the days of the life God has given him under the sun.--Ecclesiastes 8:15
