Mom and I slept in until almost 9:00, but I did a lot of tossing and turning the whole night because I don’t usually sleep well in a new bed for the first night. By 3:00 am, the chickens are cocka-doodle-doo-ing, and by 5:00 am, the horns are honking, the music is streaming out of […]
Cuba; Day One-Meet and Greets
My mom and I headed to the airport on January 5th for a 6:00 flight out of Philadelphia to Miami. After arriving in Miami, grabbing our huge, insanely heavy bags, we waited for the hotel van to pick us up. It was already 10:00 p.m, by that point and we needed to be back at […]
Veggie Pizza
So my mom and I were talking about dinner plans yesterday and my mom suggested that we order a couple of veggie pizzas for the family. The two of us are leaving for Cuba tomorrow, so something easy makes the most sense, right? Veggie pizza sounded great…but I why order them when you can […]
Catching Up with Cross Country
Time completely flies. I honestly keep up with time and I can’t wrap my mind around the way that I wake up around 7:30 each morning, and before I realize it, I’m in bed. Time, slow down! Last night, there was a cross country pasta party reunion that I organized with another team member. I […]
2012 In Review
So 2012 is officially over and 2013 has officially begun. When I woke up this morning, the first thing I thought of was how clean the slate feels. It’s strange to think of the New Year as a new start, since it’s just another day. I guess if things need to change in your life, […]
Snow!
So my master plan to make falafel fell through after major mall sales sucked me in for too many hours. Russ and I only went to return a few items, but then I remembered how much I need this and that and we ended up staying until almost 7 pm. Those little machines just suck […]
Fresh Pasta
Yesterday I decided to be daring. I did the unthinkable…I… …decided to attempt at making fresh pasta from scratch. Even more surprising, it was a SUCCESS! I followed Alton Brown’s recipe for fresh pasta made from 3 cups flour, 2 eggs, 1 tsp. of olive oil, 1 tsp of salt and 3 Tbs. of water. […]
Twenty Miles
That’s the furthest I have ever run in my entire life. There isn’t a marathon or half marathon in my near future. I guess I’m just doing it to see how far my body can take me, although, I do hope to do some sort of marathon, half marathon or triathlon before this upcoming summer! […]
Flying By
I have been on my winter break for over a week now and the time is just completely flying by. This is the first time in a long time that I have nothing planned. No job, no volunteering, no schedule and it’s amazing. I usually get very anxious with too much time or no set […]
“Studying”
It’s finals week, which means that I should be studying, but I haven’t been. I’ve been doing a lot of “studying”. Studying” (noun); watching tv, reading, coloring, staring at my text books. The act of looking like studying is happening, but it’s not. It’s an art I’ve mastered.
