Your idea of the perfect first date:
Sparks flying? Magic in the air? Butterflies? Sure, all of that is great... but honestly, a perfect first date to me just means good conversation and good chemistry. It doesn't matter if you're walking on the beach or walking in a grocery store; if you're having fun and laughing and getting good vibes, that's as perfect as a first date can be.

30-Day Blog Challenge: Day ONE
A photo of yourself and a description of how your day was:
I've got that Friday feeling...so my day is alright so far. The sun was peeking through the apartment this morning SO much that I almost needed my sunglasses to brew some coffee :) Temperatures are expected to be at 80 degrees this weekend! And I'm having a little dinner party tonight which always makes me happy. AND I have a proper lunch break in my future.
So far, so good.

This is My Winter Song to You

Domestic Bliss
It was announced last week at work that we'd be given the week of Thanksgiving off. I was thrilled, excited, relieved, and as I sit here during the final hours of Friday before Thanksgiving, I can barely contain myself!
And then it hit me. I am really ridiculously excited to do certain things that most people detest. My to-do list for next week before we head up to Arrowhead for Thanksgiving includes, but is not limited to:
And then it hit me. I am really ridiculously excited to do certain things that most people detest. My to-do list for next week before we head up to Arrowhead for Thanksgiving includes, but is not limited to:
- Hit up the county clerk's office to pick up our marriage certificate
- Hit up the Social Security office, with said marriage certificate in hand, to change my last name (so long Podlas, it's been real)
- Stand in line at the dreadful, bureacracy-ridden Department of Motor Vehicles to get a new driver's license reflecting said new last name
- Make multiple returns to stores at the mall in the crazy Thanksgiving week rush
- Get an oil change
- Clean out my car
- Visit the doctor
Not to fear, I'll be having some fun too. I can't wait to make time for:
- Sorting through over 2,000 wedding photos
- Baking a new recipe I found for pumpkin whole-wheat bread (see post below...haha)
- Having long lunches with a couple friends
- Send some thank-you notes and holiday cards
- Shopping for a few gifts
- Experimenting with what I learn here tonight
- Cleaning the apartment (aka cleaning up life)
- Getting a mani/pedi
- Helping prepare some Thanksgiving goodies for the cabin
- Planning a vacation or two :)
What are your Thanksgiving plans? What are you most looking forward to? Come on, speak up. I know there are more than 2 of you out there!

Doing GOOD While Doing BUSINESS
Leave it to a Degnan to guess correctly :) Well, almost.
Today I launched a new twitter venture to celebrate and highlight the companies in Orange County that are doing GOOD while doing business. I personally recognize the importance of supporting these companies, both as an individual patron and as the recipient of this generosity as it pertains to my work.
Orange County sets a perfect example of the potential that businesses small and ginormous have to make a major difference. From taco shops to surfboard companies to multi-billion dollar commercial real estate empires, businesses here in OC have made it totally trendy to lend a helping hand. I'm okay with that.
Follow me at @doingGOODoc. And if you have a company you'd like to bring attention to, please share...they deserve the attention!
PS - Jamie, your prize will come in the form of homemade bread. Wednesday. Get ready.
