A New Year: Days 1-3

Okay, so because I'm a tad late getting this started I am combining the first 3 days into on blog post...bear with me.


Day 1: January 1st

I found my self with some time to myself on the 1st and finished reading the book that I started on Labor Day (& hadn't touched since).  While it turned out that I really enjoyed this book, what I was really thankful for this day was my love for reading and the chance to read "for pleasure"





Day 2: January 2nd

This year (as I did last year) I flew to Chicago to spend some time with my roommie Ash and her family.  Because Ashley drove home for Christmas and I flew out, that meant that the two of us got to spend 7-ish hours in the car traveling home.  With only one somewhat unexpected adventure, we made it home safely.  And that was what I was thankful for: safe travels and a home.  While it is just apartment living, it is comfortable, safe, warm, & and roof over my head.  And, for that, I am very lucky.

Day 3: January 3rd

It's that simple today.  Thanks to the site 43things.com I got the idea for this year's project.

Also on my list: finish the gf cookbook, take the GRE and apply to grad school, and learn to Irish step dance (for those of you who know me, you know I am very serious about this one)
