The Dangers of Pinterest

Published by

I joined Pinterest a few months back, thinking, ok… I just want to find out what all the hype is about. Well, since that time, I feel like I’ve become a Pinterest maniac. If only I spent as much time doing the things I see on Pinterest as I do pinning then, I would could have traveled the world, learned about 5 new languages, completed my CE for the next 10 years, finished about a hundred craft projects, all the while cooking 3 meals per day at home and renovating my home into my beautiful dream home. If I had the money for all those things, of course. To be fair, I have successfully made about 5 meals from Pinterest recipes, a daily cleaning schedule inspired by a photo I saw on there, as well as detailed plans for a juice cleanse that Danny and I will probably start sometime next week (once we finish all the cinnamon rolls and cookies we have sitting around the house, of course) :/ I have a ‘board’ for …

Life Updates

So as you may or may not know, I was supposed to be on a ship right now traveling around Central America on my humanitarian deployment… but that got officially cancelled almost a month ago. And what have I done since then? I really couldn’t tell you! Time has been flying by like crazy! Work has been insane and I constantly feel like I am just trying to keep my head above water. One thing I know is that I finally retired my little ’96 Nissan for a new-to-me ’13 Ford Edge, and I am loving it! I loved my little pink car, but it was time to move on. And although I am now getting half the MPG I was before (filled up my new car for the first time this week and it was painful watching the $$ go up and up…), but it’s alright. It’s worth it for the incredible jump in safety and comfort I now have. Anyway, what else is new?! Danny and I decided to adopt Finn, our 7th …

Always an Adventure

Yet again re-inspired to keep up my blog… it takes a lot to keep me going these days (this time I credit the book The Happiness Project that I picked up at the airport the other day… but more on that later). This past weekend, two of my friends from pharmacy school got married in Hilton Head, South Carolina. It was a beautiful wedding on the beach, and the bride looked absolutely gorgeous. It was also amazing to see everyone again. Most of them I haven’t seen since graduation almost a year ago! So here’s the adventure part… I had bought my ticket for just the weekend from the 27th through the 29th of April. Well, we get to the airport, I walk up to the counter, give her my name… and wait; she can’t seem to find my reservation. She asks me what time my flight is, so I tell her… and then I hand her the piece of paper I’ve been carrying around all weekend with my flight information on it. She looks at …

Snowshoeing

Published by

I always joke with my parents that hiking is really just taking a walk in the wilderness. Well, what can I say about snowshoeing… it’s really nothing more than taking a walk in the wilderness on top of snow with really big floppy feet! :) Well, just like hiking, it was a lot of fun. Yesterday was my first time, but probably not my last. I only almost fell down one time (it’s really easy to step on your own feet until you get used to it)… and I’d say the most difficult part was going downhill on steep hills (it’s a mixture of stepping and sliding). Thank you Outdoor Rec for organizing! BTW, Rocky Mountain National Park is crazy beautiful!
