I haven't been doing a great job on the blogging tip- mostly because of the holidays, not being at work in front of a computer all day and keeping a food blog while I follow Tim Ferris's 4 Hour Body (read it, it's good.)
But my homie Shannon came up with a good idea and the standards are ones I can handle- blogging at least twice a month.
So here is this week's edition of Encyclopedia of Me: A.
1. Ale. Before Maksi came along Todd and I would travel near and far looking for our favorites. We've been to Maui Brewery, Alaska Brewing Co., Balashi in Aruba (but somehow have still missed Yuengling?!) and all the ones in the states in between. Now that I'm nursing (creeping up on eight months, y'all!!) I don't like to "waste" my drinking time on beers that aren't good. So you'll probably see another mention around the Ss...stouts- my current fave.
2. Aruba! Alaska! Arizona! Those are just some of the spots. I got off to a slow start with the travel bug- I didn't make it on a plane until I was 19 but after I met Todd (and with the help of a job that keeps me on the road sporadically) I've seen some so fun places. Todd promises me that when the kids are at a decent age we're taking a cross country trip in a 1990 Ford Taurus with the whole family.
3. Amazon App. Double word score? Since I found the Amazon for Blackberry app and with the help of one click ordering I've been on an Amazon spending frenzy. This is a good and also VERY bad thing. I was able to get done a ton of Christmas shopping for the little people in my life and I've done pretty well treating myself too. We all remember the Internet speding frenzy during my maternity leave, don't we? Please someone take away the phone...(but don't, seriously...)
4. Antiques. Well, sort of. What qualifies as an antique, anyway? I basically just like the things that my grandmom and Nan have given me from when they were my age and younger. My most prized possessions are my maternal grandmom's wedding set (old folks engraved stuff on the regular, btw, it's really sweet) and her spring-loaded expanding kitchen table that her mother-in-law gave her. I also have my paternal grandparent's hutch they kept in their kitchen. Right now it's housing Todd's autographed baseballs but I'm excited to MOVE and showcase it somewheres.
So there's A.
I have to get myself organized on the photo tip...although, I'm a little bit more together on my work jawn.
Happy New Year.
