yogurt!
June 16, 2008

Thin, separated yogurt. But my yogurt that I made on Saturday did actually come out edible, at least once you stir it up and mix it with granola! I had a bit of a problem with maintaining a consistent temperature for incubating it. I ended up having to use our huge cooler that we just [...]

yogurt
June 14, 2008

I haven’t been in a writing mood lately, hence no new updates about training for the duathlon, or how my six hour race went. I actually have half a write-up for the race, I just can’t seem to finish it. I imagine in the next few days I’ll finish it up. I really am okay [...]

April 20, 2008

I’m connected back to the outside world via the internet again! Of course, I haven’t had a moment to sit down and update my journal. I really need to make myself write even when I’m tired, so I can remember what the heck it was that I thought was worth writing about.
I’ve started my new [...]

another update in list form
March 27, 2008

Someday, I’m going to have time again to write a real post- I just know it! Also, for the time being I won’t be uploading photos since we haven’t worked out our internet service yet and we only have a painfully slow connection for the time being. Okay, it’s faster than my Grandma’s dial-up service, [...]

1. On Wednesday, we checked out a house on Bull Run Mountain. We did this so we could continue telling ourselves that we really did just want to rent for now. We were expecting this house to be in poor shape on the inside for some reason. Well, it wasn’t. It was in great shape, [...]

ride recaps
February 17, 2008

Okay, so not really ‘recaps’ since it’s not like I already talked about them. But I was at a loss for a better word!
My riding this week was purely utilitarian- a couple of trips to the grocery store and the library, oh, and a spin class. Sunday’s ride was, I believe, the worst ride that [...]

spinning, riding, hanging out
February 13, 2008

Of course, another late entry- and to add to that, it’s extremely rambly.
I had a very good day Saturday. I don’t have any photos to show for it, since Zach took my camera to beautiful sunny Hawaii, but it was good even without a camera. Besides, I wouldn’t have photographed Saturday morning’s spin class anyway! [...]

good reading, bad reading
February 10, 2008

Good:

Read it. It’s an easy, entertaining, informative read. I could write a little book review, but really, I just recommend you read it.
Bad:
Outside magazine. Any issue. Really, is this magazine just one big ad for outlandishly expensive gear? I think it is. I guess there is one thing I like about it, and that is [...]

i’m still here
February 6, 2008

I just haven’t had a free second to write anything! Or knit, or ride or respond properly to many of my friends’ emails. Why? Because I’ve been busy packing. And applying to jobs. Oh, and trying to “downsize.” Zach and I are moving to northern Virginia in March. We will rent at first, and then [...]

wompatuck state park
December 28, 2007

I told a friend who was reading my last two posts about Massachusetts that I would write a little bit more about Zach and I’s trek back to Wompatuck State Park before our flight back to Kansas City. We initially wanted to ride there of course, but we just weren’t going to have the [...]
