knitting: project 3 complete!
It has been a couple of months since I finished my second hat. Why did it take me so long to finish the third hat? Oh well, I’m not knitting to be speedy but to have a way to relax.

Today is National Cheese Souffle Day and Visit Your Relatives Day. Up early to get the girls off, clean, walk Phelix, and work.

happiness project monthly breakdown: travels (oct)
October is the “Travels” month in my Happiness Project. In 2014 and 2015, I worked on updating my 101 things list which mostly revolves around travel ideas. While we have had some fun trips over the past couple of years, I really want to get out more, even if it is solo trips that I

arabia again.
A cool morning. Ahead at work. A holiday in France. Time to not only go to Arabia, but explore a new trail without worrying about how long we’d be out. Phelix and I managed to make wrong turns a few times and lost the trail, but we backtracked and found it again. The problem with

As I slowly emerge from my cocoon, I am also getting back to my volunteering. At the Red Cross. In managing our building’s YahooGroup. In assisting with the neighborhood association.

photo friday: coney island
If I can make it happen, I try to get out to Coney Island on every trip to the city. A nice train ride down to the beach. Unfortunately, our past two trips have been in November and January — not a great time to go to the beach! Our next trip will be in

create: an update on 2016.
My theme for 2016 is CREATE. I haven’t quite made as much progress as I would have liked, but I am making progress…. For photography, I have taken a few classes, purchased a new lens, and was doing well at taking more interesting photos until I took my break (after spring break). For cooking, I’ve

happiness project monthly breakdown: learning (sep)
September is the “Learn” month in my Happiness Project. In 2014 and 2015, I worked on creating a revising a learning list. I’ve kept up with some things, dropped some, and put others on hold for the moment. I’ve been studying French all along; Duolingo reports that I am now 33% fluent in French. I

meals: hello fresh
As I mentioned in more adventures in cabinet excavations, I subscribed to a meal service when we returned from spring break. I’m not sure how long or how often we’ll use it, but we’ve had a few boxes delivered so far. When looking at the options (Plated, Blue Apron, HelloFresh), I went with Hello Fresh
