day 4:

(so I might have failed. I missed a day and I am not really sure how these things work or what that means but I am going to post it anyway. Also I don't believe I have a very large (if one at all) audience, and I don't think anyone will mind.)
your favorite photograph of your best friend:

(also I am cheating because I have two and they are of my best friendS.)

(high school graduation 2008: I love this picture because the four of us really did not become super close until the summer after high school and this picture seems to foreshadow what was to come.)

(Chicago for my college graduation 2012: I love this picture because it seems to fit our friendship perfectly. And it reminds me of such a happy time.)



day 3:

your favorite store:

This one is interesting...I am not sure what my favorite physical store is...
(although I love Trader Joes and used to spend way too much at Ten Thousand Villages).

But I love shopping and spend more than I should on TOMS.
I fell completely and head over heels in love with TOMS SHOES (and had quite the crush on Blake too) back when I first heard about it in 2008. (how I heard about TOMS is a good story too for another time and place.) Before TOMS I had never heard of a company that gave back in such a direct and wonderful way. I do still believe that TOMS really paved the way in that form of business and I love it. Since my personal discovery of TOMS to today I have owned over 12 pairs (currently the proud owner of 7 pairs) was a campus representative at two colleges and hosted multiple TOMS awareness events and will continue to purchase them as long as I am walking (or have friends and family who are walking).

 

I love TOMS with all my heart and sole.

 

 

I hope my answer was not cheating...here's to tomorrow:]


day 2:

a picture of something you ate today:

(lunch)

(which between the two jobs was had at two in the afternoon. thus being the only real meal I had today.)

 

 

 

 

That was easy, here's to tomorrow:]

My Day:

Started: I was supposed to get up and go to the gym this morning...that did not happen. Work consisted mostly of calendar assembling, stapling, labeling, copying, visiting with a four year old friend and a book that belonged to my kindergarten teacher coming across my desk (whom I found out only retired a few years ago and this blew my mind because I thought she was old and grumpy when I had her SIXTEEN years ago. Also that that was sixteen years ago..) Then it was of to Dad's garage  which consisted of getting my oil changed and (trying to help) my dad do maintenance on my car. He is amazing. Going on a short (but delightful) run around my dad's neighborhood. And eating dinner with some family. Ending : with this blog.

Overall: Successful and healthier than it started.
 

(picture from my run. loved the sunset behind the mountains.)
(I am kind of a freak for taking pictures of the sunset these days)

 

Made it through day one, here's to tomorrow:]

here's to tomorrow..

So I decided to re-do and re-instate my blog. I started this blog when I went away to school because a dear friend asked me to and it was how we (at a glance) kept up with each others lives. Well since then it has changed into to many different things (and many a times been completely neglected). But I have decided that I need something of an outlet and this seems to be the perfect place. I don't believe that many people, if any, will really look at it much less read it..But I have put the link back on my facebook page so it should not be too difficult to find or access. So there's that.
In light of that I have decided to do a silly 30 day challenge to hopefully encourage myself to post..
I am not always the best at challenges but I will try..

here it is:

 

If you are reading this, then you have already made it further into supporting me than I expected anyone to:]

It will start tomorrow, hope your's is sunny.

smooth...

I keep telling myself I am going to write a blog about the adventures of running..but instead I made a smoothie and would like to record the impromptu recipe I used just in case I would like to recreate it..

PB&B SMOOTHIE

Recipe:

1 1/2 frozen bananas (it would have been 2 but 1/2 fell on the floor)

3 overflowing teaspoon sized scoops of peanut butter

1 overflowing teaspoon sized scoop of Nutella

1 overflowing teaspoon sized scoop of honey

1 squirt of chocolate syrup

6 ice cubes

3 splashes of coconut milk

 

Result: it was delicious (made better of course in a jar with a pink straw) and I have the rest for breakfast tomorrow.

I'm feelin' twenty-two..

for just a few more hours.

kissing twenty two goodbye with one of my favorite past times..

baking while listening to my Elvis/Sinatra pandora station and dancing around the kitchen like a fool.

Of course the typical happened: Molly has little white (flour) dots all over her and my apron has chocolate stains.
I am not sure I am ready to be twenty-three but here we go;]
PS. Not so new but revived dream: open a bakery that helps feed the hungry.
