Disclaimers

Very Important Disclaimers:
1. I have a very active imagination and while most of these stories are mostly true, some of them have some exaggerations and are also only from my perspective, as well all know there are three sides to every story.
2. If you think this is about you, it's not.
3. If you are easily offended, you probably shouldn't read this blog. Go away, get out while you can!
4. If you like being offended or laughing out loud at the random shit that happens to me in my daily life, please proceed.
5. Do NOT forget to laugh, but only when appropriate. Try not to laugh too hard at my pain, or do, whatever.
6. I hate even numbers
7. I update the blog posts often, so even if you have read one once, it has probably changed a bit.

Wherevan have you been...

I have been off the radar for awhile...I have heard various stories people have had for me...She just went MIA. She must have left Santa Barbara. She never goes out anymore. What is she doing? Where is she? She probably is dating someone. She is probably...

OK, maybe I am giving myself a lot of credit and maybe not a person came up with a story - if it were me, I sure would come up with one, because it is fun.

Oh the stories we come up with. I love coming up with a good story in my head. I come up with them all the time. Sometimes, they are even "true" stories.

The story I am about to tell you is actually a true story and not embellished at all, mostly.
A year ago now, life was really weird.
A year ago now, I was a different person in a similar body.
A year ago now, I never could have ever imagined, I would be where I am now.
To a year ago now, thank you for supporting me.

Now, let's forget about that past and come to present day. Today, I am moving into a wonderful home. I am still working my day job, the one where I tell techies what to do, that I love and plan on getting paid a lot more (my boss doesn't know it yet, but has a sneaking suspicion).

I also have an LLC. Yup, I am an adult with an LLC. Who knew?! My LLC was even in the paper (yes, I paid for it and had to publish it, but still so cool)...

On top of being an LLC owner, I am also the proud owner of a company that I created and have just launched called Taste Santa Barbara Food Tours.

Check out the website - TasteSantaBarbaraFoodTours.com, after you read this please or go now, but come back :)



With a lot of encouragement and a little (lot) of help from my friends and family, I am a proud owner of a walking food tour. Yup, it is true.

I realize at this moment, you are probably saying something "wow, that is awesome. What the heck is a walking food tour?!"

Let's think about this, though. A walking food tour - is a tour, kind of like a wine tour, but with more food - a little history, a little culture, a lot of fun and food (and wine) and moi.

Why did I do this? I did this because I love food and I love talking and I love Santa Barbara.
When the idea was first presented to me, I thought, cool idea, not for me and blew it off - that was over a year ago now. A whole lotta change and only a few months later, I started to realize how many people would come to me to talk food - what restaurant should I try? what should I eat? And all of a sudden, I thought - and I wouldn't do this? Why? Seems like a given.

I also started to become extremely aware of how much people got into eating out ruts, I was even guilty of it. Same places, same dishes, kinda boring. So, I thought, holy cow! I can help people explore new and old places and awesome food and give people some cool info about SB and and and and and and I may be taking over the world, seriously.

So folks, that is where I have been...creating a walking food tour.
