dyk you should turn John onto www.drinkoftheday.com

dyk not only do they have a 'drink of the day' but you can search for cocktails based on alcohol type

dyk I have been into rum punch by the pool lately....and mojitos - neither are completely SB friendly (and I know I can make them that way), but it's a personal choice

dyk my rum punch has a float of dark Myers rum on top...yum

dyk I am known to my girlfriends as the 'mixologist' of the group

dyk in 2 trips to Oahu, I've yet to go to Pearl Harbor


dyk but I've done the Volcano National Park twice on the Big Island


dyk and the time it was a family trip, Mark and the boys (it was pre-Marisa) walked on fresh lava


dyk fresh as in the day before it had been running and the day they were there it was solid


dyk and horseback riding in the forests of Oahu was pretty awesome too


dyk and of course all the beaches


dyk I think we did beaches on all 4 sides of Oahu, as well as the black sand on the Big Island


dyk even have a phote of Anthony with a giant sea tortoise


dyk I'll have to see if I can get it scanned and posted

dyk I accidentally broke one of the ribs on Mark's giant umbrella while we were out shopping


dyk I explained what happened and now apparently the umbrella is trash


dyk why do they over-react like that


dyk although I never directly apologized, but I'm not sure that would help at this point


dyk I think I'll see about going to Dearborn for the Homecoming carnival rides, since I bought 2 wristbands and don't want to be out the money


dyk there's no way to stay for the fireworks since it's just now stopped raining, but maybe we can go to those tomorrow night instead


dyk just want to get away from the tense atmosphere of the house for a while


dyk I hate when he makes me feel like when things like this happen I did it on purpose


dyk and I know I should tell him but I just don't know how


dyk is that sad or what


dyk ok, pity-party over or I'll never get beyond it


dyk time to investigate a carnival trip

dyk I think the veggies in that might be a bit big for quinoa


dyk I generally sub quinoa for the grain in rice or couscous salads


dyk but if you try it, let us know!

dyk, thanks, I'll keep you in mind!

dyk, you're right about needing the vacations

dyk, at some point before Monday, I'm going to go through my deliverables, my meetings/classes, and my co-workers days off and figure out when I can take a mental health day or two

dyk, I realize how ridiculous that sounds...planning a mental health day...but I'm so bloody responsible (not to mention crazy busy) that I can't just take off





























Past Races:
-Boston Run to Remember Half Marathon, 5/29/11 (2:35:11, no training!)
-Corporate Run, 3.5 miles 6/2/11 (36:38, 4 days after running the half!)
-BAA 10k, 6/26/11 (1:04:52, wanted to be under an hour...)
-Tavern to Tavern
