12 Things: March 2008
http://rivertowngirl.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 31, 2008. I've got the music in me. So, this month I ventured into two areas that are not within my comfort zone, per se: cooking and Salsa dancing. I signed up for a cooking class at the Kitchen Conservatory. Along with my friends Kara and Jessi, we were treated to amazing culinary creations under the theme of "Green with Envy." Our chef for the night started us off with homemade tortilla chips (deep fried, baby! And guacamole with roasted corn and chipotle peppers- ah-mazing! View my comp...

Tuesday, January 27, 2009. Out with the old. So, I did something completely out of character this month. I traded in my old Kia Rio for a brand new Kia Sportage. You may ask, "Why?

Monday, June 30, 2008. Won't you take me down, 'causing I'm going to.Strawberry Hill. Printed a recipe for Povitica. I clipped it out and put it my collection vowing someday I would make this special treat. Well, after 12 years, I finally made it! Where you can order Povitica online and see what it is supposed to look like. I want to include some pics, but I am having technical difficulty. I will try my best to post them, but I promise they do exist. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Wednesday, December 31, 2008. End of the year wrap up. Well, folks, I petered out this month. I did manage to play a Wii for the first time. I'm not necessarily certain that absolutely 100% counts, but at this point I'm going to take it! This past year has been a true learning experience for me. While I didn't accomplish everything, I did some of the bigger things on my bucket list! Happy New Year and God bless you! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Year two of living my life one month at a time.

12 Things: April 2008
http://rivertowngirl.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 30, 2008. I feel the earth move (under my bed) and loss. 160;Apparently I wasn't that rattled. I went back to sleep. Even when I saw the news crews along Kingshighway overpass, I failed to make the connection. It wasn't until I arrived at work and my residents were congregating all a buzz that I realized what had occurred. . A good learning experience to be prepared every day for loss, not to dwell on it to the point I am no longer effective at my job, but to anticipate the inevitable.

Monday, September 08, 2008. Where the streets have no name. Ok, I know Bono wasn't talking about Dublin when he wrote that song (see below), but seriously! 1) Always bring a converter even if you don't think you'll need one (R.I.P. portable fan). 2) If you are lost, look up (on the side of buildings- that's where the street signs are posted). 3) Roundabouts are the Irish version of a do-over! 4) Never underestimate the power of a pot of tea. 9) If you want interesting info- ask a local. Grrrrr. ...

12 Things: August 2008

Wednesday, August 27, 2008. I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane. So, my bags are packed. I have my passport (yes, I have triple checked). I have resolved most of my loose ends at work. So, I am good to go. I’ll have to admit I am experiencing an underlying anxiety. Flying doesn’t make me nervous; in fact I rather enjoy the experience. I get anxious about the details, but that’s why I have my sister. I pinpointed my anxiety to the fact that I really talk a big game. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). J and D's Baby.

Tuesday, October 28, 2008. I really stepped out on a limb this month.I joined a book club. "But, Lara," you say. "You love to read. You've NEVER been in a book club? Sadly, no. Here's the thing. I do love to read. I have a rather voracious appetite when it comes to reading. The thing is, I read for pleasure. Do I have perfect retention? We met Monday. Our book: Memoirs of a Geisha. I highly recommend the book, btw. While I enjoyed the movie, I favor the book more. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Sake to me I...

Friday, May 30, 2008. Yes, dear friends, I am finally undertaking learning Russian. I always thought I had a knack for languages. I loved learning Spanish when I was in high school and college- not that I've retained much. I can basically ask for a beer (which I wouldn't drink) and for the bathroom. Monday, May 05, 2008. I drove my Chevy to the levy. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Year two of living my life one month at a time. View my complete profile. Hello) Yes, dear friends, I am fi. J and D's Baby.
