I like taking pictures of food I cook/eat. I sometimes draw, paint and craft things for people I love. I live with a man who just so happens to be the love of my life, so it's pretty convenient.
My current priorities are to be healthy, save money for a bigger home and get back to creating things.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Going on a semi-spontaneous mini road trip/adventure tomorrow with my friends to see a show in Scottsdale, AZ. My dear friend Jenn just asked me yesterday if I would be interested, and the answer was OF COURSE! It’ll be short and sweet, leaving tomorrow afternoon then arriving back home Saturday afternoon. Arizona had always been fun for me during every visit so this should be pretty great!
But for sure, I’ll get homesick during those 26 hours away hahaha. Biggest baby.
I’m excited for September!
Yup
Jena, I’ll fly out there and crash at your place and we’ll go together, okay? OKAY.
Food photoshoots don’t work out quite as well when you’re eating in the passenger seat of your car. Regardless, this was my delicious vegan dinner of non-dairy potato salad, curried corn, and detox shock juice (wheatgrass, apple, ginger, lemon).
Pick up my dress from David’s Bridal, got dinner, then perused Trader Joe’s. Such perfection.
First trailer for Arrested Development - Season 4!

I NEVER WANT THIS SHOW TO END EVER AGAIN.

Mmmmmm that sounds so SWEET. (Zing!)
I wish I could eat ice cream right now :’(
Are your shorts supposed to ride up your thighs when you run?
Or maybe my thighs are too meaty?
When I had an obsessed focus on health and fitness in the cold fall/winter of 2011, I wore sweatpants to jog/run every night and never encountered this awkward problem. But I’m really happy to be back on the grind. I’ve been eating much cleaner and have started back on my 2-3 mile nightly routine. When I had last been physically fit, I was doing 4-6 miles per night, so call this baby steps for the time being. I had fallen off the wagon last year in April due to life/physical complications, and just stopped trying to live a healthy lifestyle (ironically.) Big mistake. But I feel very determined right now to better myself and relive all the happiness I had felt from treating my body the way I should. I have been at it for about 3 weeks now, and I’m already feeling/seeing changes in my body and my food cravings. My biggest goal right now is to eliminate processed foods from my diet. The biggest challenge I’m facing in that aspect is SNACK FOODS. Chips, veggie straws, pretzels thins, chocolates bars.. I have to stay away all together or else I’ll never stop wanting them.
As lazy as I can be, I have slowly and happily reinserted exercise as a part of my daily routine. It’s really nice to have that alone time, when I get to enjoy my guilty pleasures on my iPod, like Eminem and Immortal Technique. And yeah, I still use an iPod because I don’t know how to listen to music on my Android phone. I just don’t.
I’m turning 27 this year, and I want to feel my best at that age.
Okay, and I want a reason to treat myself to new clothes and tattoos, too.
I made a Society6 to start selling my illustrations .
http://society6.com/JakeSumpterThere are art prints and can also get them as a phone case. I will have it so you can get them as shirts later on.
Help out and spread the word!
