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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

What book – fiction or non – touched you?

19 Minutes by Jodi Piccoult.
It was an emotional book that showed both sides of a school tragedy.  You didn’t want to sympathize with the shooter because of the awful situation he created but you couldn’t help it.  The book made me really understand that there are two [...]

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 [...]

What was your best trip in 2009?
Chicago – March 29th for Chuck’s birthday.
We took the train.  I found an awesome deal on a classy hotel.  We did a lot of shopping, some sightseeing and had an awesome time.  We want to go back soon!

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 [...]


My name is Maria

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