This weekend I was able to head east of Seattle, over the Washington State mountain pass, for the first camping trip of the summer. It’s officially camping season, my lovelies! I’m a huge fan of camping. I love it more than this much *holding arms out wide.* I grew up with two families who didn’t take off on planes to Europe or Hawaii… we spent a week in the woods, eating graham...

Hello June. I’m starting you out by doing a challenge because, well, sometimes I’m a little crazy, but mostly I like to consistently challenge myself. So, I will be giving up my most beloved Sassy Fit for just one month to embark on finding my inner yogi. A local yoga studio in Seattle, Urban Yoga Spa, is doing a 30-day yoga challenge in June. Basically, you can sign up to commit to three...

Tonight is the last game of the season for my kickball team, Ballstache. My time as coach is coming to an end, and I have to say, it’s been a rough season, to say the least. We’ve: Lost every game, (even the closest of the closest games that came down to the last inning), leaving us the worst in the league. Breaks my heart, I tell you. I think they might be trading me out of Seattle. Guess I...

I’ve been hearing about this Zumba stuff for quite awhile. First was from the lovely Chelsea from Chelsea Talks Smack, who I believe actually taught/teaches a class. Next, an insanely bright yellow sign cropped up in my neighborhood, advertising a Zumba class. And then the final straw, the studio I go to every week for celebrity bootcamp added a class. So I had to try it. At least once. Like that...

This weekend, I… …Bought one of those skirts that can be found in droves at Nordstrom and every other store. Basically, you throw them over a tucked in T-shirt or blouse, and wear it with leggings and boots. I’m in love and want to head back and buy 14 more of them. …Hit up the newish Blush Lounge for happy hour with some girls. The entire place was a bit dead, but their $3 and $4...

Ever heard of Whrrl? It’s a pretty sweet app/Web site that allows you to create “stories” to share with your friends on Twitter, Facebook, blogs, etc. I went to my very first Seattle Seahawks game last night, so I thought I’d make a mini story for YOU. Check it out! More stories at Qwest Field Powered by Whrrl Currently Feeling: A little sad it’s the last big camping...

For those of you who follow me on Twitter, Facebook or read my “Currently”s, you know that I went to hot yoga last night with my sister. To say I was a bit nervous is an understatement – my anxiety toward the class continued to build as the day went on. It started with my post on Facebook about how I was nervous to go to hot yoga. From there, I received THIRTEEN comments from people,...

So, I’ve mentioned earlier this week that I’m launching a new blog project with the BF. It was something that came about this past weekend – a suggestion from him, actually. Surprising since I’m the blogging whore in this relationship, and he’s constantly making fun of my Internet geekiness. Basically, we’re always camping, going on road trips and trying out new wineries...

Did you know that they melted down the Holy Grail and made it into a bike? I know this because I went on a personal quest for it today. (Holding coconuts) Clop, clop, clop.* About a month ago, my BF went to a sports store in Seattle that is going out of business and was having a huge sale. His mission: a new bike. While I was at this sports store, I found a girls bike leaning in the corner, and I sat on it...

Last night I took a trip to the public pool. Or la piscine (piss-seen), as one would say in French, which I think is much more fitting than “swimming pool.” After all, a public pool is probably very a la piscine from all the kids. Cause really, as a kid, we all know we were warned and reprimanded 100x about peeing in the pool, but we did it anyway, holding our breath to see if the water really would...
