Umami...Your mami...what...

Hi lovers and friends. How are you? I hope all is well. Better than well! AMAZING. UNBEWEAVABLE. K, Im done.

I swear, I always have this inner battle going on in my little pea brain when I’m out and about…like, “OHHHH I should blog about this!” and then, “Ughh I don’t want to be taking pictures for my blog, that’s so lame!” AND THEN, “I don’t want these people to even KNOW I have a blog, so pass.” Haha…clearly this lil piece o’the interwebs is still suffering from an identity crisis, and in the same thought as “Ohh I should blog about this” I also think, “I should just delete it, wait wtf I would NEVER delete it!” AND HERE WE ARE.

Day by day, dolls. That’s how I’m doing it in real life, and blog life. Day by mother effing amazing, stressful, tiring, exciting…day.

Lately-

I’ve been eating at some of the most YUMMY restaurants in LA/OC. I’m a creature of habit and usually find myself at the same places, so I’ve been making it a point to expand my horizons-and having a man in my life who always has a new place to take me certainly helps. I won’t bore you with all the places I’ve been stuffing my face at, but I do want to mention Umami Burger…Burgers are apparently the new cupcake, at least in Cali, where there is a new fancy shmancy gourmet burger place opening up every week. Umami was totally hyped up, so OF COURSE I dragged Dan with me to Hollywood to see if it was all it was cracked up to be. It was good. Super good, even. And hey, I’ve never met a sweet potato fry I didn’t like.

But seriously? Give this girl an In N Out Burger over all these hyped up joints ANYDAY. ANIMAL STYLE. Yep.

Lately-

I’ve been posting on We Love Dates! About fun stuff like getting matched with my STEPBROTHER on a dating site. Because my life is fun like that, and I’m really looking forward to the awkwardness over the Thanksgiving dinner table this year. I like to keep things interesting. Uh.no.com. On the We Love Dates note-TAKE MY SURVEY! Pretty please? It’s only 5 questions! :)

Lately-

I can’t wait for September. Blogging has brought THE MOST AMAZING PEOPLE into my life and I get to see so many of them next month, some for the first time, some again. So while I’m hot and cold about how much to share here, I’m never wishy washy about how blessed I feel to be a part of this community-even if I’m not at the center of it anymore. Um, THAT? Was not supposed to sound as conceited as I’m sure it did. But whatever…my blog.

LOVE YOU, Mean it. xx

Love Liz

mmmm burgers :)
Glad your trying new restaurants! That sounds like fun and I love it when you find a new place you love which, in turn, becomes “your place” in the future.

Have a great weekend!

Whatever it is that you decide to blog about is always welcoming and refreshing, inspirational in some fronts. Even for a dude. Yes we do have a little heart and mushy washy BS going on in our heads as well. Not just other stuff. Like cars and beer. (I don’t like beer btw) Just sayin’

13 OC girly August 20, 2010 at 8:51 am

I love reading your blog!!… and i’m typically not even a reader… Super cute & very very witty!! love it! :)

14 yourstrulydear August 20, 2010 at 4:17 pm

hahaha love you too, girl. keep looking fabulous!

15 Amanda August 21, 2010 at 9:44 am

There are so many things to remark upon in this post that I can’t even focus on what to comment. Other than, yes – burgers = the new cupcake, or so it seems. I like to alternate between In-N-Out and Five Guys, myself.

Have a happy weekend! :)

16 Vibrators August 21, 2010 at 3:45 pm

Umami you’re awesome! Love you!

17 Kim August 21, 2010 at 10:43 pm

hahaha getting matched up with your stepbrother? That’s hilarious! Hope you’re having a great weekend:)

18 Amy August 22, 2010 at 7:31 am

Yum, In-N-Out is delish! I’m craving it now.

I want to check out these snazzy burger places!! As soon as I get back to LA I’m going to Umami!

xoxo

This is a very interesting point of view. Your blog is refreshing, but I wish one could find more content, though. I am looking forward to reading more from you. Keep up the good work. thanks.

21 Allison August 23, 2010 at 9:20 am

Come to NYC soon please…even if in LA burgers are the new cupcake, I really don’t think I could ever pass up a chance to take you to Magnolia :) I’m glad that you’re doing so well and that your life is in a good place. I miss you! Let’s BBM or call soon?

22 Court August 23, 2010 at 1:42 pm

I have some reading to catch up on over here but I things look good and what a pretty pic of ya!

23 Kristin August 23, 2010 at 3:06 pm

Wish a Florida trip was on the agenda. Boo. That delicious finger candy looks awfully familiar. : )

24 Kari August 23, 2010 at 7:21 pm

Love, Love, Love your hair in the picture!!!

25 Lindsay {DesignerWife} August 24, 2010 at 12:47 am

Ugh, totally feeling you on the “oh, I want to blog about this… but wait, I don’t want to take pictures of this in public… um, no…. what blog?” kind of thing. I’ve just recently adopted this “eff yea I’m taking pics of that to blog about it… what? you don’t have a blog? you’re so lame.” attitude with everyone and it’s working better for me.

Glad life’s going amazing for you! Gourmet burger bars are popping up all over the east coast, too. Still think cupcakes are cuter.

xo,
LM

26 lindsay August 24, 2010 at 4:26 pm

Glad to hear you’re enjoying life! I do the same thing about taking pictures for my blog, don’t feel bad.

27 Alexis August 25, 2010 at 6:29 pm

I really need to get out more, that is clear…
