Birthday club

Happy birthday to me! Before heading to dinner tonight, I celebrated by getting a free ice cream cone at Baskin Robbins since I'm part of their birthday club . The winter white chocolate was delish. You can't beat white chocolate, chocolate covered cherries, and cherry syrup. It's like a lighter version of Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia. Yum!

Fire Safety Tips

It’s been about a month since my family and I survived a house fire. It's been a roller coaster of ups and downs. I feel optimistic and very thankful to survive and recover from my injuries. We have been blessed by family, friends, colleagues, and the community for the generosity and support we have received. Our firefighters told me most fires occur in the kitchen or bedroom, either started by electrical or candle. I wanted to share some tips  to prevent house fires: Don't light candles Be trained w fire extinguishers Have 2 exits out of house  Have an emergency fire escape plan  Call 911 ASAP Test fire alarms  Have fire extinguishers in kitchen and bedroom  Resources : https://www.redcross.org/get-help/how-to-prepare-for-emergencies/types-of-emergencies/fire.html https://www.ocfa.org/SafetyPrograms/FireSafety.aspx https://www.lafd.org/safety/fire-safety

Denver - I was on a date with my boyfriend/now husband waiting for our table at a restaurant. I noticed subtle racist Behavior when a white couple who came in after us was seated first. I brought it up to my boyfriend and he says don’t worry about it and we’ll get seated first. This restaurant is first come, first serve.
