3 day weekend!

It's Friday, people!
We made it!  And now we all have a much needed THREE day weekend!

 This week I tried a couple new places:
iCream
Market Bar We had dinner in their sidewalk dining and then headed up to the rooftop for more drinks.
Then Rubina & I had a lovely picnic at the lake.  And we took some fun photos with the moon before we commenced our star gazing where we could faintly see the big dipper.

I was supposed to be balancing the moon on my fingertip, but it sort-of looks like the statue of liberty...

 So it was a good week, but I can't tell you how excited I am for the weekend!

 I'm planning on checking out the Roy Lichtenstein exhibit at the Art Institute (it ends Monday).  Having brunch with some friends.  Maybe some shopping, thrifting I hope.  Farmer's market.  Baking bread.

 One of my friends is getting married this weekend in Louisville.  I was supposed to go & wanted to go, but it didn't work out.  Another one of my friends is having a wedding ceremony this weekend.  And it's another one of my friend's 25th birthday!
Lot's to celebrate!

 I also have a 20 miler tomorrow.  Let's hope I can get it in before the rain!
Today I ran 10 miles and did not feel very well.  I'm still analyzing why that went so poorly so I can learn from it.

Quote of the week:  I can only stomach the RNC through Jon Stewart.

 Here's to a great, LONG weekend!!

Kitchen Safety

We moved!  We're in our new place and we just got wifi.  Wahoo! I definitely broke in the kitchen quickly.  I was making a panini type sandwich for a potluck get together so I preheated the oven.  The next thing I knew the fire alarm was going off.  Let me tell you they did not skimp on a very loud fire alarm.  Ahhhhhhhh I opened the oven, which I know you're not supposed to do.  In the moment, I think I needed to see what I was dealing with.  There were definite flames.  Ahhhhhhhh So I called Mike while trying to google what to do.  He was super calm the entire call while I freaked out (it probably helped that he couldn't see the smoke billowing out of the oven).   He said to throw baking soda on it.  I did.  It seemed to fizzle but came back. I searched the apartment for a fire extinguisher (maybe I should have looked for one before this moment). This is while I kept trying to silence the fire alarm (to no avail) and open windows to let out smoke. Then Mike

I have a few things to update on today =) Oh I just finished the best meal I've had since I arrived and it was oh sooooo good! I'm so full and happy right now! It was a mexican meal so at least i know i'm going to the right country. yesterday Tere asked me to lead a little yoga class. automatically i said yes because that's how i am, but on the walk from the classroom to outside i started to get nervous. the only person i ever lead in yoga was karen & she laughed the majority of the time (it doesn't really count). i just took deep breaths and i did it. it actually was great. once we started i was able to integrate some favorite posses of the people in the class it was great towards the end when marcelle (who is rather soft spoken, but i love her) lead a few poses as well. i was actually happy with myself. namaste i love our group. everyone is similar that we all have this interest to do missionary work, but we are all very unique and different at the s

Spring!

Yes, I know it is not spring yet.   Today's the meteorological beginning of spring or something, isn't it? I definitely suffered some winter blues last month (yeah, it's March!). Check out these tulip fields for your Friday! Normann Szkop  took awesome photos while flying over Dutch  tulip fields . ( via ) p.s. Two days later I'm still feeling amazing after my juice cleanse .  Yes, it's possible that's not what it's from, but considering nothing else has really changed (except starting a new month, which I am so excited about), it's getting the credit. HAPPY FRIDAY & HAPPY MARCH!
