I finally got a job. Part time. Close to home. Fun. Fashion. Family. Despite probably working on Turkey Day (don't eat meat anyway and spent last Thanksgiving in Japan), I am pretty excited.
I know! When I worked at The Gap, I was decked out in all their clothes with a very small portion of my paycheck left over...still, it's a good way to get out and talk to ADULTS! :-)
Third monthly challenge complete! For March, my goal was to go to thirty different beaches for thirty days. To recap, in January I hiked thirty different trails for thirty days, and in February I practiced different styles of Yoga for twenty-eight days. Mountain. Mat. Marine. The first three months of my year long journey of completing monthly goals has been achieved. I feel good. I have worked my heart with cardio, worked my body with stretching, and worked my soul with the happiness that being outside, toes in the sand and salt water washing over me, can provide. I realize that a thirty day beach goal is not feasible for everyone. I am filled with gratitude that I live in a place where the beach is accessible, beautiful, and free. Born, not raised, in Hawai’i, believe it or not, up until this thirty day challenge, I was not much of a beach person. It seemed boring, hot, and out of my comfort zone. Ne...
Month eight is complete! August was a month of learning about new ingredients, trying new recipes, making a few mistakes in the kitchen, and filling our hearts and bellies with happiness and deliciousness. I’m so glad I made the eighth month of my twelve month long challenge/journey, a culinary challenge. Last month, in July, my challenge was to document delight…I documented it everyday for thirty days and then neglected to document my DELIGHT journey on the Blog. It could still happen… August is my youngest sons birth month. He loves to cook and bake and cause general chaos in the kitchen so it seemed appropriate that I make August the month of new recipes. Also, I love books…to include cookbooks…which I seem to have a pretty nice collection of. Anyway, I have all these cookbooks and many of them hadn’t even been cracked open or recipes attempted…until now. Most all the cookbooks turned out to be winners (with only a couple of non-...
I had to add the "s" because I need to include myself. I was a warrior with my two boys this weekend while Isom was a home improvement warrior. I've always loved the look of wainscoting. I have always wanted a room in my house to have it. Isom granted my wish this weekend. It started with a slight nudge, nag, whatever, from me to him to fix our one dining room wall. It has been drywall without the prettiness of plaster and paint for quite some time now. I tried to make it work to my advantage at Halloween. That week was the only week I didn't mind the unfinished look too much. As with most of the improvement projects around here, a simple "pretty up my wall" project turned into new chandelier, full room paint job, and wainscoting. I'm happy with the end result, but the fumes drove me nutty for a bit, so I actually went for a two mile walk and then swimming just to avoid it. That was today. Yesterday's fume avoidance was a bit more indulgent---Starbu...
