Aerial Yoga Week 7
This week I amazed myself by swinging up onto the high trapeze without a boost. I then did 30-something crunches hanging by my knees from the trapeze, which left me with fist-size bruises behind my knees. It was another review session so we did lots and lots of tricks. I was able to get the foot ... [...]Tags: aerial yoga, family
Any Way You Want It

Saturday night I had the extreme pleasure of seeing Frontiers: A Tribute to Journey. For those of you shaking your heads, thinking it was some half-assed drunken Journey cover band. It was not! It was amazing! My cousin, brother and I showed up a little after 8 thinking, if nothing else, it will be [...]
Butter Tarts Mmmmm
Last night I decided to make my grandma’s tart recipe. She’s been baking these ever since I can remember – a tin of them always on the table when we’d stop by for lunch or dinner. I put it on my 101 list and got the recipe from my mom a few days ago. I was ... [...]Tags: 101, family, makeup, what i wore

OMG now stands for Oh My Gaga…the show was AMAZING! I raced home after work to feed Slayer and douse myself in sequins, hairspray and eye liner. My cousin Maria showed up and then we picked up Jenn and my coworker Lyle and headed downtown. [ Maria, Jenn, Me, Lyle ] During the opening acts we w [...]
Hello Monday

After a very productive weekend I’m feeling great. I cleaned the house, grocery shopped, took Slayer to get his nails trimmed, and got half way through season 4 of Dexter thanks to Kiley and Jessica. I spent some time with my family celebrating my brother’s birthday. We ate blood orange [...]Tags: family

I finished watching the first season on Dexter last night at 5am. Everyone was right, it’s amazing! I watched the first nine episodes straight, meaning I was in bed attached to my computer for NINE hours. Yeah, it’s that good. Starting season two tonight! Last night my mom made a huge di [...]Happy

I spent last night at my parent’s house and woke up to my mom turning on the Christmas tree lights and trying to coax Slayer outside to go potty. He was uninterested and burrowed under the covers next to me instead. My sister made vegan banana walnut pancakes for breakfast and then we piled in [...]Tags: family, good stuff
Black Friday: Resistance is futile
November 28, 2009 | 4 Comments
Even though I was adamant about not going to the mall on Black Friday, Jenn whined enough about needing sun glasses that I was conned into going. The plan was to run in, grab sunglasses from Twenty One and run out. As we pulled up to the mall I said, “I’m not allowed to buy ... [...]Tags: family, shopping, what i wore

Thank you for all your feedback on my last post. It’s good to know I’m not the only one with issues making lady friends. I had another lovely weekend full of family, my fantastic boyfriend and yummy food. I spent Saturday checking stuff off my to-do list (oh how I love making lists and c [...]
26th Birthday
My birthday weekend started on Saturday with a trip to the shooting range. Aaron picked me up around 4 and we headed to Double Action with his dad’s Glock 27. It was my first time shooting a gun and I was a bit nervous, but did my best channel Gemma. There were a few other women ... [...]Tags: 101, family, happy bubble
