awesome sweetness


yesterday they had a staff preview for one of the astronomer's project's, Bailey-Salgado Project, and one of the volunteers who came in started talking to me about how i needed to be careful biking home (she saw my bike upstairs) because of the crazy fog.  i hoped it would clear out before i left, but no.  when i started out it wasn't that bad, but it got more and more dense as i went along.  
i started to hit rush hour BIKE traffic and started talking to my brother.  then the path was rerouted a little bit because they were paving the regular path.  that was crazy.
as the fog got denser my eye lashes started doing something crazy.  i don't even know how to describe it.  i asked jeff if there's water in fog and kept trying to figure out WHAT was happening.  but c'est la vie.  i made it home safe and sound.
that was the awesome part.

then i was reading a blog and found this super easy recipe for delicious brownies for one.  hey, why not?  i gave it a try, with suspicion, and really liked it.

this morning after a beautiful run on the lake i was inspired to visit a new bakery and have breakfast on the lake.  it was wonderful.  i had a croissant and felt like i was in france.  well... i guess i never ate at a lake in france.  but i did eat a lot of croissants and this one was delicious.

and there's the sweetness  =)

then i made my normal trek to work on my bike.  i've taken to singing out loud as i ride to work because people get to sing in their cars and my transportation is my bike so i figure i can sing too.


p.s. if you don't already know groupon Now! has $1 deals today.  one that really surprised me was $1 trips up the hancock.  i've never been up the hancock before.

Fall Fun!

We could not have asked for better fall weather this weekend.  70 degrees.  Sunny.  We just wanted to be outside the entire time.   We went for runs and decided we needed to spend even more time appreciating the fall foliage, which apparently will peak in two weeks.  So two more weeks to enjoy!  We checked out a new to us restaurant.   Then we took a trip to Grant's Farm, which neither one of us had been to since we were kids.  And neither one of us remembered.  Capping off another day spent outside. Monday I hopped on my bike to get to work and my body felt tired from the fun of the weekend.  I looked out my window at my desk and saw so many beautiful leaves, I took a photo on the walk back to where I park my bike. P.S. Yes, I got a new job!  Hooray!  A more detailed update is coming.

26 miles in 26 days

So the title isn`t exactly correct, but I ran a marathon yesterday and it was Melissa & my`s one month being here. But Caro helped me come up with the title and I thought it was catchy. So marathon #2 and a completely different experience than the one I ran last year in Chicago. Lisa Rottler Chamberlin is the name I ran the race with...I tried to sign up as Lisa Rottler, but it forced me to enter mom`s maiden name or i couldn`t continue with registration. the first difference I experienced this marathon in a very different way. In Chicago I was competitive I would say. It was on my mind since February of last year when I signed up. I was didigent about training and very serious about it. This year I signed up like 3 weeks ago and it was very last minute. Although, I ran like I was training for the marathon this summer in Chicago-that was 2 months ago. Last year the weekend of the marathon I rested. This year Friday night I went to my first quinceanera and got home at 4 a...

Lake Recap

Yep, it's recap time from the week my family and I spent at the Lake . My parents rented a house and a boat for our family for the week.  We were around mile 24 for those of you who've been there before. Dad, Mom, Jeff, Greta & Charlie all slept in the guest house so that meant... Karen & I had the whole main house to ourselves.  ;)  (If only we didn't disagree on the temperature so much. I like it warmer than her).   That might be a bit of an exaggeration.  We had the whole place to ourselves, unless someone wanted food, hang out in the living room, do laundry, etc. We pretty much relaxed the whole time we were there.   We were out on the boat at least once a day. Karen & I are ready for a day on the boat! We got in some tubing and skiing.  (No pictures exist of tubing, but it happened.  My scabs from the cloth burn just came off at the end of last week.  And just ask Karen.  She was sore.  We all were.) ...
