time flys by

i've had this blog for nearly 3 years. tonight i was reading some of my early posts and it made me realize how much has changed: the subject matters, the style, the outlook. they are all completely different. that does not surprise me one bit because anyone who knows me knows that one of my personal goals in life is to constantly evolve and become a better person. that cant happen without change. while most of my changes and evolution have been positive, there have been some negative changes or backsliding that has occurred over the past 3 years. but u know what man, thats what life is about. u live and u learn and u either try to change or u become complacent. and depending on the type of person u are either choice can be okay. im proud of myself. im proud of the person, the woman, that i am becoming. im not without fault and by no means perfect but i feel like everyday i get to know myself a little bit better and this blog is evidence of that...

chicken

Today for the first time in over 4 years, I made chicken. IT WAS DELICIOUS!!! I am so glad that I finally have learned how to make chicken!!! It was actually bbq chicken and I used this delicious marinade that I bought @ Trader Joe's yesterday.

I also made zucchini with it. I used a new recipe which calls for olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The zucchini was a little too sweet for my liking, but was still good. Next time though I think I am going to just use olive oil.


To top it all off, my beverage was Simpler Times Lager.

So tasty and a perfect way to begin my week!

Judge Rachel

i judge people.

there i said it and i see absolutely nothing wrong with it either for 3 important reasons:

first off, i am an equal opportunity judger. i dont discriminate. i judge everyone from a life-long friend to the clerk at albertsons. everyone is judged equally in my book.

second, it is human nature: if we all have a set of values/morals/standards/etc, wouldnt it be pretty much impossible not to compare other people's values/morals/standards/etc to our own and come to a conclusion aka judging them.

lastly, i keep my judgments private. unlike a real judge, i dont write up an opinion and publish it for all to see. once i come to a decision about someone or a situation, i observe, i judge, and keep it to myself either through my journal or just letting it stay in my head.

so after coming clean about my judgments i would now like to be referred to as Judge Rachel. ;-)
