Well hello there, July 16th. Where have the last two weeks gone? Been busy soaking up the sun that finally came to Seattle – and as my GChat status says, “The summer sun makes me irresponsible.” Less time for blogging and computer playing, more time for outdoors, friends and barbecues. The best time of the year! Life has been trucking along quite nicely these days – I’ve got a...

HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO! /From my 28th “Mustaches & Sombrero” birthday party I wish you all the tacos, burritos, cervezas and cheese dip in your future. Currently Feeling: A little burnt out after two bootcamps, Zoomba (which I’ll elaborate on later) and kickball in two days. Currently Anticipating: Heading to the neighborhood Mexican joint tonight, but first – a TweetUp my company...

Wow, hey, hello… I officially took a little six month blogcation. How did that happen? If you haven’t noticed already, I’ve totally revamped the blog. During my little blogcation, I thought a lot about what this blog meant to me. What it was. What it’s become since I started it at age 24. I’m not going to spend all this time getting introspective and emo like here and here,...

I’m transferring over my blog to a WordPress site and making some design/content changes throughout this week. Some things aren’t working properly, or look a little silly. Thanks for your patience as I get this up and running. I’ll explain the transition soon. Stay tuned!

I was talking last night to one of my girl friends about how sometimes Halloweens are more trouble than they’re worth – it takes you forever to pick out a costume, and there doesn’t seem to be a single Halloween party worth going to (or one that you’re invited to at least). But not this year – this year I had my costume picked out well in advance, and the Halloween parties...

Well hello there, Fall. You’re everywhere already, and I’ve barely had a chance to catch a breath of your air. October has been a whirlwind – an upward slope on the new job hill that has left my weeks a blur. And then I was out of town for the first three weekends of October. First – to Leavenworth for Oktoberfest, second to Washington State University for my little sister’s...

This past weekend, I was in Las Vegas for BlogWorld Expo. Outside of it being exhausting and fabulously fun at the same time, something happened to me there that I’ve been kinda shy about sharing. I know, I know, you’re all thinking – “GET OUT. Something happened to you in Vegas that you don’t want to share?!” What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas right? (Best...

I have a SUPER exciting blog post update that I haven’t been able to get out… it’s been in draft form for two weeks! Yowza. AND… I’m well over my 100 followers mark that I mentioned in July that I’d do a giveaway when I hit that milestone. Those of you who tuned in, voted for a box of Je’s favorite things… so a giveaway is in need! Those and more to come...

I feel like my dopamine levels are through the roof right now. It’s only noon, and I’ve: Rocked my training run this A.M., pushing through my “walk” portion and running the last little bit. It felt great! Took the first of my (FREE) 10-week digital photography class, and it was totally awesome. I’m super excited for what the next nine weeks will hold! Painted my toenails in a...

… Whit from Whit’s Getting Fit! I plugged all TWELVE of you (must be some people scared to receive homemade items over the Internet. Can’t imagine why. Ha) from my mini giveaway for a jar of Easy Peasy 10-Step Blackberry Jam into Random.org and here was the result: (The first of 12 comments). I think this is only fitting because Whit has a foodie type blog about eating healthy and working...
