I have entered a new decade of life! This also means that my 30 Before 30 List is over. And once again, I didn’t complete my entire list. I finished about 50.5% of the things on my list this year. A few favorites include: visiting Iceland, buying my first house, trying standup paddleboarding, biking the [...]

Guess what? I didn’t go kiteboarding! Ever since my windsurfing class in Naxos, Greece, I’ve been wanting to try kiteboarding. I’ve tried all the board sports I can think of [and loved them all!], except kiteboarding and stand up paddle boarding. I figured I would have the opportunity to try out kiteboarding this spring during [...]

Taking a cooking class is one of those things that I’ve been claiming I’m going to do “soon” for about two years now. Success! After more than a year of staring at the cooking class schedule from Sur La Table, I chose the “Provencal Sunday Supper” class. I’d originally wanted to take a fish class, [...]

After completing #9 on my 30 Before 30 List of going to 52 new restaurants/coffee shops/bars in the first three months of my list, I’ve continued to keep track of places, so here’s round two of 52 new restaurants. Foursquare makes this so easy to keep track of. :) New Restaurants Visited September – November: [...]

Yoga one month, drinking the next. :)  The only liquor I have at home is Pastis, and the occasional vodka or gin. So when I decided to do a bit of research for #25 on my 30 Before 30 list, I first of all discovered that I should call it a liquor collection, as alcohol [...]

My move into my new places randomly coincided with my switch to working from home. It’s been about four months now {WHAT!?!}, and although it’s definitely been an adjustment, creating my own little work space has really helped me adjust to working from home, and not letting my work area take over the entire 600-ish [...]

#9 on my 30 Before 30 List was to go to one new restaurant (or coffee shop/bar) per week or 52 in total. So three months into my project, it appears that I’m done! I think my dining out budget can attest to this one being completed. I’ll blame it on working from home. :) [...]

Today is the final day of my yoga challenge! Honestly, I’m glad to be done with it — on a daily basis — but will be adding more yoga into my regular workouts. I love projects like this because I love learning and I love fitness projects because it’s simply amazing how quickly the human [...]

I’ve been neglecting my blog… thanks to my new iPhone. Obsessed much? Yes. Best thing… like evah! Favorite Apps Google Maps – Yes, it’s a pretty standard map, but the geo-location feature is awesome (my gigantic shoe phone aka, Treo didn’t have the locating bit, and took about 5 hours to load). So example of [...]

Brief sadness earlier this week when I couldn’t get my iPhone 4 pre-order in. Alas, Best Buy to the rescue! I’ve been off Apple products for a while (ok, ok, I do own an iPod), but it looks like I’m about to get back on the emotional roller coaster that is Apple products. Speaking of, the [...]
