I'm not big into resolutions, but I am into setting goals.  What do I want to accomplish in 2007?  Here are some ideas:

(1)  Start dancing.  For $60-75 a month, I could get back into tapping.  A great form of exercise and super fun for me!  Once a month, the Atlanta Ballroom Dancing club has dances with lessons.  Will and I love to dance so maybe we ( Read more... )

Its been officially decided:  Maria, Will, Butch, and I are doing this on June 23, 2007:  Mayor's Marathon

Okay, so Maria, Will, and I are doing the half-marathon, but that's still 13.1 miles peeps!   And I run about a 9-10 minute mile, so eeek... at the very minimum, this will be at least 130 minutes, which comes out to be a little over two hours ( Read more... )

I love to watch "You've Got Mail" on Sundays. Today its on TBS (and Home Alone is about to come on - yes!). It really is one of my favorite movies. I'm not sure what stands out to me about it to make it so great - whether its the dialogue, the plot, the soundtrack, Meg Ryan's outfits, New York City and all the fun spots highlighted (I want to go ( Read more... )

I COMPLETED MY FIRST 5K!!!!!!!!!!! My time: 34 minutes (about a 10 minute mile time...). Not shabby for the first time, I thought! It would have been faster had it not been so crowded, but truly I was going for completion rather than a fast race time.
