Keep your eyes and your mouth peeled for my new blog. Completely Consumptual. I have not yet posted, but will be soon.
Basically, it will be a blog dedicated towards food: what I eat, what I learn about food and nutrition, recipes that Katie and I try out, and places we go and eat!

West Coast, walk it out...
Johnny Cash ain't got nothing on me! I walked way more than just a line on Friday.
Friday, my friend Amanda and I planned to go to the mall to buy her roommate a birthday present.
I walked to ST and met her there at 2. Then we set off to walk to the bus stop by Nob Hill. It's not there anymore! So we walk down Santa Teresa to find the one in between Snell and Blossom. It's not there! I knew there was one in front of Apostles Lutheran. We get to the Santa Teresa/Blossom intersection and ask the crossing guard if it's still there.
Apparently there are no more bus stops on Santa Teresa that go to the mall! The guard told us there are only bus stops on Blossom Hill. So we walked all the way down Blossom and decided to take the light rail as it was 3. We took the light rail to the Ohlone-Chynoweth station and walked to the mall. We got to the mall at about 3:40.
We were in the mall until about 7 or so, and we walked back to the light rail station intending to take it down to the Snell station and taking the bus back. It ends up what I thought were quarters were actually nickels so I didn't have enough money to take the light rail, so luckily Melissa was able to pick us up. It's a good thing she did, as it ends up the bus doesn't go from the Snell station to ST, so we would have had to walk home.
What a day. It was way more walking then either of us had planned.

A weekly installment from K^2
Greeting everyone from the K^2 portion of the Bond family!!
Another week has passed in P-town and we were ready for the weekend! In Provo news, the weather has remained surprisingly warm, and BYU football has remained unsurprisingly awesome. The team had a bye week but should do well in the polls thanks for some great upsets this weekend. Go Oregon State! Go Ole Miss! (Go Michigan, shh).
We caught some of the game action last night while we were at Brian's house. We went over to watch the debate from Friday night and enjoyed a killer steak dinner fresh off of Brian's grill. It is fantastic living near Brian for the first time in over 5 years!
School still remains the main focus of our lives, but we did make it to a ward party on Friday night and to the Temple on Saturday morning. Going to the temple on a Saturday morning in Provo is like going to Cheesecake Factory on a Friday night in San Jose, but we were still able to make it into a session and it was a good one.
I took three trips to the testing center this week. I came out victorious with an A in Chemistry, and A in Nutritional Science and a 99.9% A in New Testament. I hope I can repeat this in the future, but Chemistry is already getting a bit tougher.
Katie is super busy with her classes. They have her going all over the place for various volunteering. On Friday she had to do biochemical testing in her Lab. Students had to come into the lab is an under hydrated state, an over hydrated state, a fasting state, or a fed state. Fortunately, or unfortunately, Katie was selected to be in a "fed" state so she had to consume 100g of Carbs before class at 8 am. Diabetics, do not try this at home! We went to Kneaders at 7am for their all you can eat french toast breakfast. Holy Moses!! When I say french toast, I am serious. This stuff is 4 inches thick of cinnamon bread topped with caramel syrup greatness and fresh whipped cream. All you can eat is a false advertisement because it was a rough time finishing just the first plate. That was all Katie needed to reach her 100g and we went off to school.
I have to give a presentation at work in our staff meeting this Thursday. I get to talk about photo archiving and where I see it going to in the future and how I can help everyone with their photo needs. It should be good. I found a new archiving program for free. It is Picasa 3 by Google. It is really fun.
Well, It is 12:15 on Sunday afternoon, we still have 2 hours before Church starts, but I think I will stop here and say, "'til next time."
