I know you are probably dying in suspense wondering what Chuck and I got into in San Diego and how I feel like Delta should be boycotted but I have another story I want to share.  One that is much fresher than either of those.

PF Chang’s China Bistro

I was meeting a friend for dinner [...]

I’ve been a reader since I was young, which means I’ve read a lot of books.  Some books have been more memorable than others but when asked what my favorite book I’ve ever read, I always come up blank.

Never has a story touched me like Honolulu did. Maybe it was because of my infatuation [...]

Life is about movement, moving forward, regardless if we want to or not.  It’s about growing as a person, and yes, stepping out of the proverbial box.
For someone who is a tiny bit afraid of heights, I never thought I’d be taking aerial yoga classes at the Detroit Flyhouse.  I didn’t think I’d be trying [...]

In the past 4 days Chuck and I have went through a list of destinations for our next vacation. Las Vegas, Arizona, Key West and New York. What we decided on was San Diego when my finger typing and clicking came across a flight that we found was more than reasonable.
We’ve been talking [...]

Wow a decade in review.  It’s crazy that it’s almost 2010.  I remember when we were all freaking out about Y2K.   It’s no joke that 2000 was my best year yet.  Definitely the best of the decade. With 2007 coming in close behind, but a couple bad things happened to mar the year.

Did you have a night out with friends or a loved one that rocked your world? Who was there? What was the highlight of the night?
Probably the most exciting hockey game I ever went to was Game 7 of the Red Wings vs the Anaheim Ducks in May 2009.  I was with Chuck, my Uncle [...]

The Watson and I are going to see New Moon tonight. Don’t worry we aren’t obsessed fans that might cry when the movie starts. More likely we’ll be the jerks in the row behind you laughing at all the awkwardness and heavy breathing on the screen. I won’t lie that’s what we [...]

I got my haircut and colored today. Not sure how I feel about the bangs…
What do you think?

A couple weeks ago I sparred with DJ.  He’s 14.  He’s fast and he kicks me in the head every single time I spare with him.   A week later he wanted to spare again and I declined because some nights, I just don’t feel like having a foot to my skull.  You know, when you’ve [...]

You should probably sit down for this.
Are you sitting?
Ok.
I’ve killed many, many plants in my day. I drowned a cactus and dried out orchids.  C’mon I killed a bamboo stalk and I’m not even sure how I did it.
There must be magic in our house because I’ve managed to not only keep this cactus [...]


My name is Maria

I somehow manage to keep my feet on the ground and my head in the clouds.
