goal: 5k by 2011

16 Aug 2010

While I’m on the subject of goals, I’ll guess I’ll add one more. It’s one that I play with on a semi-regular basis. I know it’s achievable I just really, really, really hate doing it. I know what you are thinking, why are you doing something you really, really, really hate. The short and simple [...]

goal: butterfly kick & twist

In: perfectly maria|tkd

4 Aug 2010

I’ve seen youtube videos for aerial martial arts and sure they might not have much purpose but you can’t deny that it looks kind of cool. On Monday I asked my dad to teach me the butterfly kick. We looked up a video and he watched it with interest and then he got up, laughed [...]

For the past couple years, Lisa and I have planned a girls’ weekend. And for the past couple years it’s been just the two of us that participate because it’s so hard to get people together. When you graduate high school and go to college it’s all about making friends, hanging out in groups and [...]

Wheelhouse Detroit

14 Jul 2010

Detroit gets a lot of bad press. You know it, I know it. A lot of it is true but there is a lot about Detroit that goes unnoticed. I went to college in Detroit for 5 years. I have some really good memories in the city. Truth be told, sometimes I miss working in [...]

Last week I mentioned that I was signing up for Door to Door Organics. I’m not going to lie, I was really excited to get the box yesterday. Chuck was a little skeptical of the whole thing but he couldn’t really complain because if it didn’t work out how we’d like you can cancel at [...]

I have a confession. I actually like eating fresh veggies and fruit, but I am clueless on how to pick a ripe avocado or mango. Bananas are easy. Green? Yellow? Bruised? Unbruised? Apples are simple too. So those are the fruits we end up eating week after week. This past week I bought some cucumbers [...]

We spent 8 hours painting ceilings this past weekend. 8 hours. The more work we do the more excited we get and it’s really starting to sink in that we have a place of our own to get away for the weekend. The dogs are slowly getting used to the cottage, though you can tell [...]

our announcement

In: perfectly maria

25 Apr 2010

A couple of weeks ago…Easter weekend to be exact, Chuck and I were in Oscoda. We made the trip partially to get away and partially to begin a search for a cottage. We have been talking and casually searching through Oscoda listings for over a year now. We thought about including East Tawas and Tawas [...]

15 Apr 2010

I’m slowly making my way through my 30 Before 30. As Michelle pointed out there is a lot of travel involved. Because of the path my life seems to be taking, I don’t see much travel in our future for the next couple years (not babies!). Most likely a lot of the travel plans I’d [...]
