Backwards/Forwards
Movie season is in full swing! So far I've seen Marley & Me, 7 Pounds, and most recently, Benjamin Button. The age transformation is really impressive, not only of the obvious Brad Pitt, who is born with the physical appearance of a wrinkly old man, but of Cate Blanchett as well. Overall, the movie is a tad long, but an interesting tale of two people and the paths they take, with some humorous and tender moments in between.image/imdb
Looking Ahead to 2009
Tuesday, December 30, 2008
Looking ahead to the new year...I have a few goals for myself for the New Year. A few carried over from last year since I wasn't able to accomplish everything on my 2008 list (so much to do, so little time)... 1. Travel somewhere amazing! And it must be outside of North America (I'm not going to limit myself to Europe alone, but that would be my destination du jour) 2. Run a half marathon - this is the year! (I was slated to do another triathlon in 2008, but I broke my pinky toe - of all the bones to break)... 3. Save money for my own place...While I have a fabulous apartment, I'd love to have my own place, that allows pets so I can get a little furry friend. 4. Treat myself to nice restaurants, good wine, and not-so-practical-but-have-to-have accessories (every once in a while...) 5. Make more of an effort to get groups of friends together more often. Any of these happen to fall on your lists as well?? image/rodneysmith
Shelve By Color
I usually organize by books by type. Education books - shelf one. Children's books - shelf two. "Beach reads" - shelf three, etc. etc. Don't know if I would ever be able to locate the book I was looking for with this organizational tactic, but it certainly has some aesthetic appeal... image/freshome
Snowy Fun
Monday, December 29, 2008
It seems like our Seattle blizzard has finally come to a close...after a week and a half of consistent snow, the ice and snow have finally melted, and roads have once again become travel-able. I have to say, I did get a lot of holiday exercise in, as I had to walk everywhere - my coffee place, grocery store, video store, etc. etc. Here are a few highlights from the snow days...
