I’ve lived in L.A. for many years. I moved here back in late 2009. I moved to Pasadena around 2018. I’m not an L.A. expert by any means. I just recently found out–by accident–I can take the backroads in Pasadena to go to Glendale and skip pretty much all the freeway traffic.
I really don’t like to venture to the westside (Santa Monica, Century City, Inglewood, et al.) unless I

So, I used to do food delivery to make extra money and I would often get delivery orders from sweetgreen. I have no idea about the restaurant other than everything seemingly came in a bowl. The tips were always great from this place and I have to think it had something to do with how expensive it was.
It is, let me correct.
Recently, I decided to finally see
So, I started buying a lot of frozen pizza lately. No reason other than I work at home a lot more now and sometimes I don't have the want to go out and get something to eat. I'm also being rather money-conscious of how much I do spend on eating out so I want to be careful about that.
I've been getting more into frozen pizzas. For the record,
I've seen that hashtag for a while. Now, to clarify, it's a play on 12 Years a Slave, and if you've seen the movie, you wouldn't dare to use that as a hashtag to celebrate your wifedom/anniversary.
So, why am I saying this? Because today is our 12-year wedding anniversary.
It's been an interesting past two years. We had to deal with Covid for the big 10-year anniversary, and
Not gonna lie; it was a little weird.
I'm not a professional protester, if you will. I like to protest more with my money than anything. I'll either personally boycott a business or support a business. I don't follow trends on what to boycott and I'll just do it with my own critical thinking. I'm not trying to get arrested by the cops, but I'm not afraid of jail
So, once again, I hosted my in-laws. Yes, those in-laws. The racist-ass ones. The ones that can't absolutely shut the fuck up if they were offered wealth beyond their dreams.
I put on my 'I'm going to pretend I like you for a few hours' face and hosted them as we had a family gathering. With the usual this is what you should be doing with your life and
I'll be the first to admit: I'm not a huge football fan. It's funny to say that because I am a huge sports fan. I just love sports. I was an athlete in high school and college and I enjoy sports to this day. While I'm hesitant to watch golf (I mean, the shit looks boring!), I understand it.
I'm also the lone member in my family who can't
I like to consider myself Etsy connoisseur. I browse the website no short than once a day and try very hard to limit my spending to once a month. I usually buy a lot, though, so it accounts for something.
Recently, I have been heavily supporting my fellow Black-owned businesses. I encourage everyone instead of making a donation to a charity, to actually support a Black-owned business. They could
It's crazy to think where the world was around this time back in 2020 to where we are now. I've stopped assuming it'll get better and just only hope it won't get worse.
Being a parent during the pandemic has had its own set of challenges. From online learning to canceled playdates to cautiously-prepared playdates, it's been a rollercoaster. Keeping Bear focused and on task has been an even
