Trip Downtown

It is time for winter orangeness to make a comeback.  (I know it's not technically winter. It's dark.  Therefore it seems like it.)

 One of my favorite parts of my old job was bike riding to and from it.  Even in the bitter cold.  It was a very love/hate relationship.  'Ugh... I don't wanna put on all my layers and go bike in the windy cold.'  Then... I would get on the path and listen to my music, sing along and feel 100 times better.  And then I'd arrive at work a sweaty, frozen mess and feel ready for the day.

 Yesterday after work I was meeting a friend downtown & I hopped on my bike.  It was one of the first chillyish days we've had this year and yes, I went right back to the love/hate relationship, but it was SO lovely!
(these pictures don't even show a quarter of how beautiful it was)

Once I met my friend, we were supposed to go a museum, but apparently I read which night they are open late wrong & we had to come up with something else...

We went to check out the Macy's windows on State Street.  Which are very cute this year, if you haven't visited them yet.
Then we walked over to the Christkindle Market and checked that out too.

I had some things to pick-up downtown (since I so rarely go there now) and we had such a lovely night.  And now I get to see her again for our actual trip to the museum!

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!
