Another October, another fall, another Oktoberfest, HOLLA! For those of you who’ve been a long-time reader, you know I’m a HUGE fan of Oktoberfest. We’re lucky enough here in Washington to have TWO of the top 10 celebrations in the nation. One of them in Fremont each year, which is where I ran my first 5K race, and the other one in Leavenworth, which I attended last weekend with the BF... Read more

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... Read more

I completed my first 5K last weekend! (Something that is on my Bucket List). Some of you know that I’ve been training the last two months for it… sorta. One of my best friends, Kristen, and I tried to work up to running the entire 5K with an interval training program we found on Runner’s World. But, it turned into us kinda bailing out more often than not to bike ride or sunbathe and... Read more

Recently I did the super awesome girlfriend freak out where it feels like your life and relationship is over because ________ (fill in blank). For me, it was, “You never plan any dates nights!” Honestly, I don’t know how The BF could possibly get a word in edgewise to plan a date since I’m always saying… “Do you want to go here…do you want to do...

It’s been a little quiet here for the last week – September has been a busy, busy month. So much for slowing down after summer… I have a fall that’s looking like it might be just, if not twice, as busy as summer. I can only imagine how exhausting it is for the BF to date me. Poor guy thought he was going to catch his breath after our summer of a million camp trips and plans. But, I... Read more

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... Read more

Last week, I was flipping through last month’s Self magazine, and I stumbled across a little box about BooksFree.com, which is basically Netflix for book lovers. If you know me AT ALL or read this blog AT ALL, you know I’m a huge fan of reading and have had a huge Summer Reader list. Not only do I love to read books, but I love to buy them too. I have a rather large (color coordinated at that)... Read more

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...

I own a quirky little cat – she has tons of personality, she’s a little sassy and a little craaazy at times, but she can also be oh-so-sweet and is absolutely adorable. I think the Cat God gifted me with a mini cat version of myself. Kinda like how your mom says, “Just wait until you have a kid just like you some day!” Well, I had a cat. For those of you who haven’t read since... Read more

… 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... Read more

Forgive me father, for it’s been awhile since I’ve posted a Bacon! Bacon! Bacon! (Saturdays for breakfast…) post. Don’t worry. I’ve still be eating bacon weekly; I just haven’t been sharing it. Oh the blasphemy! This week, the BF and I had the pleasure of attending Yelp’s Taste of Georgetown party, which was a party thrown to highlight restaurants and breweries... Read more
