July 2013: Month in Review Part 1


July 1st-5th: Work

After work on Wednesday I went to walk around Target and came upon the final season of Gossip Girl on sale. I've been waiting to see how they find out who Gossip Girl is and I was too impatient to follow the season while it was still on the CW. Spent my Thursday off having a Gossip Girl marathon. I think my expectations were probably too high and I felt like they got lazy with their music selection. There was seriously one episode with 3-4 Frank Ocean songs! Like someone was obviously obsessed lol but I guess I can't really blame them since I love those same songs :P.



July 6th-7th: My friends from LA came down for a visit. We started the day off with lunch at Nosh Delicatessen in La Jolla. Really loved the neighborhood. It would be a great place to live if it wasn't for the traffic getting in and out of the area.



After grubbing we went kayaking. It was super fun and made me miss kayaking in the Long Beach area. The water was actually surprisingly warm. Here's a picture of all of us.



July 8th-14th: Work

After work on the 14th, we had dinner at Native Foods in Encinitas. The food was ok. I got the Indo Noodle Salad. It pretty much tastes like one of those peanut sauce salads but with a ton of greens.

July 15th-17th: Work

We had a big meeting on the 17th and it was pretty nerve racking but a customer brought me flowers for recommending an OTC product for her that worked really well. It was the first time I felt like I actually made a difference. That's the thing about being a retail pharmacist. We make a ton of recommendations daily but very rarely do we know the results of those recommendations. People don't exactly come back to the pharmacy after they feel better. It's always nice to be told that your recommendation worked :). Seriously made my whole day.




July 18th:
Had the day off and caught up on some blogging. For dinner ate at Urban Plates in Del Mar. I got the Grilled Marinated Wild Ono with Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Mac 'n Cheese. For my beverage I got the Organic Pineapple, Watermelon, Basil & Mint Urban Replenisher. It was super refreshing. I wasn't super impressed with the Wild Ono but the Brussels Sprouts were delicious. Mac n' cheese was a little too cheesy and I'm not a fan of when it feels like I'm eating melted cheese with a few macaronies in there...I know... why did you order mac 'n cheese if you don't like cheese lol.



July 19th: Work


July 20th-21st: Pearl's Birthday Weekend!
Headed down to LA Friday night. Woke up bright an early on Saturday to participate in the Color Run at the Pomona Fairplex. It was my first time doing a Color Run and the first time in a long time that I did any type of runs in general. Judy and I used to participate in a ton of 5k's when we were at UCLA but I've gotten so lazy (and busy) since entering the "real" adult world.

One of my friends since the 3rd grade happened to also be there at the race! Can't wait to see this lady get married in December!

After the run, we were all ready for some Thai grub. Thai food is thai food and we were starving so I didn't take any pictures. We then went to this place called The Ice Bar in West Covina and I got this little thing.



That about finishes the first part of July! Part 2 coming right up!
