Every once in a while I find myself watching cat videos at work, and at home, and at friends' houses...Anyways, here's my favorite so far.

so this is the new year

Typically I'm not a fan of new year's resolutions. They usually entail losing weight, quitting smoking, getting out of debt...You know, things that don't end up happening. That is why I have decided to come up with a list of things I can do to spend my free time wisely:


1. Cycling. Numero uno on my list, it helps me get in shape, explore the city, hang out with friends, and stay motivated. Eventually I intend to make my way to Santa Cruz with some stylin' bike shorts and a cycling jersey.














2. Baking. I only put baking after cycling for the mere reason that if I were to bake more than cycle, I would have to make a new year's resolution not to lose weight, but in fact, get huge. The amount I cook in general needs to increase, but I have a special fondness in my heart for baking. It makes me happy to share what I've created with others, and of course to devour it myself.












3. HTML. I figure HTML language & codes and whatever else you so choose to call it can't be that difficult. And since all I want to do with it is to make this blog look fancy, there's probably not much to learn. This should take up the majority of my time I spent on Facebook in the prior year.










4. Money. Spend it on goods which foster my sense of creativity and need for adventure. See above.

5. Cognition. Think before speaking. Speak what I mean.

the office idiot

Today I became the office idiot, and I did so by burning the popcorn. After finishing my bag of favorite chips I was still hungry. Lacking much variety in my cubicle, I went for the popcorn. 3 minutes to go until my tummy could be fed. Big mistake. When I went to retrieve this bag of buttery deliciousness I found that this kitchen smelled terribly and was filled with smoke. Lucky for me the room wasn't on fire; however, I did manage to make the entire floor reek of singed mock butter. To make matters worse, for a good 10 minutes my co-workers were complaining about the smell and thought something was on fire. Good job, Allyson!

it's time to get fancy schmancy

I love my friends. I consider myself fortunate to have met so many wonderful people over the past several months, and for the amazing friends I have known for a long time. Wishing to share our friends with each other, my roommates and I threw a holiday party. Originally themed "tacky Christmas sweater", it was soon changed to "fancy schmancy" for it seemed as though every party in San Francisco required over-sized sweater attire.

Meet the Friendship Thunderdome. I live with these rad people and enjoy their company on the daily. Group hug at our fancy schmancy holiday party!


We consist of Anatasia, Ryan, Ian, Dustin and myself.


I made these cookies for the guests.


Many of my friends were sweet enough to make it for the festivities. Meet Amanda, Brooke, Colleen, Andrea, Ashley, and Joanna.


My lovely ladies Amanda and Jenna.


Some jerk erased our Christmas faces.


Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
