First post

Wellp, today I started a blog. I don't really have anything riveting going on BUT, I do link/like a lot of stuff, and do things that I'd love to reminisce (props to me for spelling that right on the first try!) on later...and in this techy day and age this seems like the best way to go about it.

I don't know how private I'll make this, but I will give a brief update on myself...for memory sake at least.
I'm Rebecca McBride, 28, degree in biology/chemistry, live with my boyfriend Michael who's a Ph.D. student, dog Monster who is a mini-pomeranian (and superior to most humans) and do field work for an environmental scientific firm on the Gulf Coast.

My general goals of this blog are bookmarking:
- recipes
-reddit pictures that I love
-relevant news of the time
-general feelings about whatnot
and as the blog title suggests updates on:
-Myself
-Michael (as much as he'd allow on the internet at least)
-Monster- my glorious dog! (these will be lengthy and in depth...since we all know that's why I'm really writing this)

So! let's get started...I only have 9 minutes (I set a personal goal of at least 20 minutes at a time to blog) left to link...
My staple lately has been lots of veggies:
http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/mushroom-onion-sauce-10000001168083/
this sauce is my go-to for just about every steak/pork/soy dish we cook and it's so fast and easy.

relevant news....much to the chagrin of many of my real life/facebook friends, I will be voting for Obama again...I just can't get over how much socialized healthcare is necessary...for myself (who's broke) and people like my dad who have chronic diseases.. 3 minutes!

Myself: I've been trying to get back into running...that should hopefully pick up soon,
Michael: We went on our first jog together yesterday and it was awesome! we have very different running styles but it somehow magically worked in a way that kept us both on pace...so excited to see how that turns out
Monster: last but not least, (I'm -1 minute in so this will not get due attention) He's a happy healthy guy, sadly he's got thyroid disease but it's in the low normal range so hopefully we can maintain it without having to take drastic measures! so long blogger.com...til next time!!
