MY WEEK IN PHOTOS: MARCH 4–10, 2019!
Rain continues in Los Angeles, I say YES to being a bridesmaid, Marie and I head up to the Bay Area with cameras in tow, and I decide to cut dairy and gluten and try my best.
Enjoy!
Orchid party!
So pleasantly surprised that the tomato seeds we planted actually started growing!
Moody hillside views
Some new little pieces from pottery
Rainy day
So much rain for Los Angeles recently, it’s been good!

Friends getting married, that’s WILD. Surprised by this delivery! (I said YES hehe)
Blistering shishito peppers while waiting for the chicken wings
Marie night
The drama of being alone in the office
Decided this week to try going dairy-free and gluten-free for the month as much as possible in an attempt to help my skin.
Some photo time on the laptop and then a solo evening with some tea and Ru Paul’s Drag Race
Friday morning, Marie picked me up and we headed up to the Bay Area.
Pee break at Harris Ranch, the cattle ranch approximately halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco
Marie looking for the exit so she doesn’t have to walk around the building to smell the cows again (we failed and had to go outside and around sorry Marie)
Back on the road
Suddenly we were in a rainy cloud
And so began a weekend with Marie and her family, I helped her shoot for her personal project.
We ate great all weekend though, spoiled by Marie’s mom and dad feeding us a steady stream of fresh-cut fruit, Vietnamese food, and so much water.
Driving home back to Los Angeles on Sunday morning
Home, happy, but tired. Got a new hoodie in the mail which I want to live in.
Got some soy sauce replacement at my grocery run
Back home after the grocery run, ready for FOOD. And for relaxing.
Full comfy mode
AMAZED at these tomato seeds dang
Trying out a shepherd’s pie recipe from the Whole30 book Marie gifted me (thanks, Marrieeee)
Sweet potatoes coming along, time to assemble everything with the meat
Look how cute these teeny baking dishes are!!! I got these over the holidays and I knew I’d find a way to use them.
Spent the evening with some tea, and starting the Assassination of Gianni Versace miniseries.

Some questions that you may or may not feel inclined to answer? I dug up some questions from a tag question website…so original. So! Let’s do it. I invite you to answer in the comments:
- Where’s your favorite place to take an out-of-town guest?
- Are you more likely to avoid conflict or engage it head-on?
- If you had more courage what would you do differently in your life now?

- Where’s your favorite place to take an out-of-town guest?
Out to eat! - Are you more likely to avoid conflict or engage it head-on?
I’m definitely an avoider. However, if I feel like I did something wrong or want to address a problem I want to do it RIGHT away with no waiting time. It kills me to have to wait something out when I feel like I need to resolve it right away. - Do you have a tattoo? What is it?
I don’t have one, but have been into watching stories from tattoo collectors on YouTube.

Thanks for reading! Much love friends.

Where’s your favorite place to take an out-of-town guest?
Some sort of botanical gardens.
Are you more likely to avoid conflict or engage it head-on?
Usually I engage head-on and get it over with. Sometimes I enjoy fighting.
If you had more courage what would you do differently in your life now?
If I had more courage, I wish I never went to art school and worked my way instead. I probably wasn’t mature enough back then but I still find myself thinking this often.
What’s your MBTI type if you don’t mind me asking?

I am an INFP! What are you?

Ahh, I see–my favorite people tend to be INFx!
I’m an INTJ and I tend to gravitate most towards intuitive introverts.
I score 60/40 thinking/feeling and 50/50 judging/perceiving.
MBTI is a pseudoscience but I find it entertaining like astrology or the enneagram test.

I feel the same! I particularly like to ask others what theirs are, I find it’s a good conversation starter esp when you want to learn more about how other people perceive situations, conflicts, etc.

I agree! The validity of MBTI types has been a recent debate amongst friends. My male friends tend to dismiss MBTI because of the complexity of humans. I’m an INTJ/INTP now but in elementary school I was an INFJ. Not everyone will fall neatly into each category and may change over time. I think it’s silly to dismiss it entirely. It’s just a limited/basic overview of general personality.
Oh, and if you’re interested in astrology at all, co-star is an app that gives you a more in depth analysis and allows you to see your friends’ compatibility. I’m skeptical of astrology but again, it’s a lot of fun!

I’ve got co-star! But I’ve only used it to look at my own chart…I could dig in more for sure.

I hope your diet changes help out your skin.
Where’s your favorite place to take an out-of-town guest?
– We have some great restaurants here!
Are you more likely to avoid conflict or engage it head-on?
– Well, definitely nowadays I engage it head-on, just so my students know that they have someone fighting for them.
If you had more courage what would you do differently in your life now?
– I would have left teaching a long time ago and gotten involved in politics.

Oh, let us know how the diet change affects your skin. I’ve been thinking about ditching dairy as well, but as I hardly eat meat, I kinda like the protein I get from dairy…
Where’s your favorite place to take an out-of-town guest?
Hofgarten (Munich) – grab a coffee and enjoy the sunshine on a bench.
Are you more likely to avoid conflict or engage it head-on?
I like to avoid conflict for as long as possible. Jobwise that’s probably something I should work on, in my private life I’m okay with it. Annoy me for a long time, I somewhen tell you off – but then I’m fine again 😉
Do you have a tattoo? What is it?
I don’t have one, but once in a while I think about getting one.
