She doesn’t know it yet* I will be joining Mrs. Flinger on May 3rd to walk for Maddie Spohr and for March of Dimes. I have set up my own donation page on the Seattle for Maddie team for a couple of reasons.

I couldn’t find a Portland team to walk with. I know there’s a [...]

I’m not allowed to start running until April 28th. That will be six weeks post-surgery, and I am already counting down because sitting on my bum (at least until the 14th) is killing me. I’ve resorted to looking lustfully at new running gear even though on the 28th, I’ll [...]

Spring has sprung in many parts of the United States, and for most of us, the weather is warming up, our wardrobes are changing, we’re digging out dusty sunglasses and our toes are sliding back into flip flops. Magazines, books, websites and even television shows are encouraging women to take care [...]

101. Dance in the rain - easy to do in Oregon. So much fun and it takes some definite carefreeness to do it. Let’s hope!
102. Jump in a puddle - same as above, really.
103. Reform my DVD collection - once I move I’d like to grow my collection back up to what it [...]

91. Drink 64 ounces of water every day for a week - water is so good for you. Everyone should drink at least SOME water every day, and since I know I can tolerate 64 ounces a day, this is my goal. Staying hydrated is important for skin health!
92. If I can do it for [...]

81. Plant a tree (thanks Angie) - whether I have to plant it in a bucket or in a yard, I will plant a tree. Maybe a lime tree. That’d be cool, right?
82. Play a game of poker - I don’t really know how, so I should learn and then play. [...]

71. Color a section of my hair a non-traditional color - like pink or blue or purple. I’m not a stiff but people wouldn’t expect this of me, so I think it’d be fun.
72. Get a manicure - I have a hard time spoiling myself and am rough on my hands [...]

51. Swim in the ocean - I hear that’s nicer in South Carolina than in Oregon. Otherwise I’m going to freeze my ovaries off.
52. Learn to cook a fabulous new staple meal - I cook some mean soups and enchiladas, and some chicken dishes, but want something new to add to my list!
53. [...]

41. Learn to drive a stick shift - I’m 26 years old and have never even tried. I think it’s about time to do this. I have friends who are willing to teach me, but they’re also friends who will laugh so hard with me as we learn that we’ll crash into something. I need [...]
