Keeping a journal just got easier!

2010-08-20T18:56:00.003-04:00

I can't tell you how many times I've started a journal and then just get lazy about updating it. Well keeping a journal just got super simple.

Go to Ohlife.com and start an account. They will send you an email every evening at 8pm asking you how your day went. You respond to the email and it's automatically gets posted. No one can see your journal but you.

Try and tell me how much you love it!

beauty and durability

2009-06-28T18:19:00.004-04:00

this is my fairly new timbuk2 limited edition bag. isn't it beautiful? the bag is made from ballistic nylon so it will probably last a few generations. this is a limited edition design that is on sale, last i checked. so if you want it, better act soon. of course that's not the only design, there are many more to choose from.

still love my iphone

2009-03-11T21:20:00.002-04:00

the other day i downloaded the kindle to my iphone. love it. thank you amazon. thank you apple.

let me know what you're reading on your kindle. i've downloaded samples, but not an entire book yet. the latest sample i'm reading is the numbers game which i'll probably end up buying. interesting read if you want to make sense of all the stats and data your hit with everyday.

ttfn!

my iPhone

2008-10-12T17:30:00.002-04:00

Last Christmas my boyfriend, Reed, got me an iPhone and I love it more now than when I got it. Being able to download apps on my iPhone has been a great bonus. These are some of the (free) apps I have: New York Times, iprocrastinate, yelp, iPint, CheckPlease, Sketchy, Scramboni, magic8ball. There's more, but I don't want you judging me by the apps I have.

Share the cool apps you've downloaded to your iPhone.

I'm back!

I can't believe it's been over a year since I've posted anything. Even though I haven't been posting, I have been thinking about my favorite things and even pull up the blog on occasion. The pink lifts my spirits.

hoopin' in the park

2007-06-05T22:47:00.000-04:00

hoola hooping is fun! when i was in CA last week, my sister had set up a hoola hooping group at a park in santa barbara. not only was the ocean background so refreshing, but the hooping was good, clean fun. there were a few curious passersby and then there were some who picked up a hoop and started hooping. some had not hooped since they were kids and others who had never ever hooped at all. hooping is guaranteed to put a smile on anyone’s face. the local paper was there to take pics and we ended up on the front page of the next day’s paper!

that’s me, candice, and milette post hooping. watch this video of me hooping and notice candice, my daughter, in the background.

credit goes to brett, the coolest brother-in-law ever, for taking the pictures and videotaping the exhilarating event and even showing us some of his hooping moves!
