Roasted portabello mushrooms with balsamic vinegar reduction, walnut & blue cheese mashed potatoes and spinach salad with a lemon shallot creamy dressing.

Paired with Grand Cru Rodenbach. Perfect.

Big Body.

Mapping my 10-mile run is going to be difficult on my Thanksgiving trip. Our cabin is truly in the sticks.

DONATE MONEY AND I’LL TATTOO WHATEVER ON ME!

I’m raising money for Third World orphanages. For every $10 you donate, your name gets entered into a drawing. Your name gets picked, you choose any tattoo for me to get. I get tattoo, kids get help, you get the glory of knowing there is a human out there with a tattoo of your face on it. Everyone’s happy. DONATE, read awful tattoo submissions and submit your own HERE!

* REBLOG - FOR EVERY REBLOG UP TO 3,000 MY DAD WILL DONATE $2

GUILT TRIP ALERT: $10 will give a classroom of kids education for one day or buy you two drinks at Starbucks.

Your chance to help out with something wonderful is almost up! Donate today and all that stupid stuff you did over the past month will be wiped clean from your slate. It’s a pretty sweet deal!

What Jillian is doing is noble and awesome. You should donate.

I remember wearing my footie pajamas as a kid and sliding down the stairs in them. They were so warm and comfortable - not to mention fun. I tried on a pair last night and wished there was a giant staircase around.

HAPPY 25th ANNIVERSARY SURFRIDER!

Conservation. Activism. Research. Education. These are the 4 ways in which the Surfrider Foundation is working to protect our oceans, waves and beaches for all people. Volunteer to do a beach clean-up. Learn about their Rise Above Plastics campaign… There are so many ways for you to become involved in this long-standing and well-regarded environmental organization! At a recent chapter meeting for volunteers, Surfrider board members shared proposals for the Marine Life Protection Act, discussed the Clean Water at the Bu Coalition and so much more. Visit their websites to learn more about how you can support our local chapters!
P.S. They’re super friendly.

The Surfrider members couldn’t have been more inviting. I’m going to join myself and can’t wait to participate in a beach clean up.

Something I never thought I would be doing on a Friday morning at work:

nowwhat:

Figuring out which Spa treatment to get this weekend.

Explanation: Last night, I found the gift card that was my Ellen holiday gift from last year. It is a 150 dollar card for Ole Hendriksen. I shelved it so long ago because I thought I would never want to go to a Spa for something. That is ridiculous. Cut to a long while later and now I have a natural curiosity as to what a spa experience is like. Should be an interesting Saturday morning, at the very least my skin should be glowing afterwards.

Austin - I am so jealous. Ole is amazing.

I've got to get on this donation bandwagon...and you should too!

I want to thank all the awesome people who donated! Paul Isakson, aka Sexy Paul, just got himself a ticket into the drawing! Thank you to my amazing roommate from college, Tara Dine, for her donation. She was my original pal who would talk about far away places we’ve never seen yet talked with a passion that would suggest otherwise. Thank you Mike Guenette, an old friend from High School who still has a heart of gold. Thank you Heather Antoine, my Africa girl. And last but not least, thank you Ian Broyles. Ian is possibly the nicest person I have ever met in my life.

Also, thank you rebloggers! The reblogs are dying down, but hopefully not for long! We’ve already made my Dad semi-broke, let’s really break the bank! $885 from the tattoo contest so far and $1,136 from my Dad!

Tea Steeping

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 15:03:13 -0400

Just took another green tea from the office pantry and was wondering how long I should steep. In case you’re curious about your tea, I found a steeping chart. So helpful. Just 2-3 minutes until I’m a little less frozen in my office.
