Long time no see

Whoa. Sorry I haven't posted anything in forever! Been busy applying for jobs and redoing/improving my web site. Going to see this movie tonight, can't wait! Go Team Edward!

Crisfield Boat Dock Racing

Had a blast this long weekend going to Reedville, Tangier and Crisfield. I experienced the Crisfield boat docking competition for the first time. Surprisingly it was a blast to watch and the crowd was great. Really got your adrenaline going watching the teams compete. Thankfully no one got hurt! Beer was cheap too :)

Here is a picture of the tiki bar we had dinner at and enjoyed the beautiful weather.

Here is a picture of the crabs we caught in my parent's crab pot. Totally free!

Here are some videos of the races...

Resveratrol

I've been taking this supplement for the past couple of months. Here is a great write-up about it.

Reading again

I used to read a lot of books in high school and college. Obviously I had to read specific (normally boring) books for classes but I also read a lot in my free time. I took way too long of a break and have stopped reading the past couple of years. Now I enjoy going to the library and picking out books I think I will enjoy. I love mysteries, dramas and old classics. I checked out a book to take along with me on my trip to Tampa (this past weekend) so I'd have something to do on the plane, besides sleeping. After all the recent hype in the news I didn't think the Twilight Saga would be any good... too many teenagers were obsessed with the movie. Many of my friends recommended the 4 books so I decided to rent Twilight from the library. To my shock, I cannot put it down! It is amazing. I've reserved the Twilight movie to come next on our netflix list. I know for a fact the book will be better so I'm glad I read it first. I've also reserved New Moon (the sequel to Twilight) at the library so I can read it next. So glad I got back into reading, I forgot how much fun it was :)

British Virgin Islands bareboating trip

I'm so upset the trip is over, but we had an amazing time. David & Deb were so much fun to be around and we had some great family catch up time. I can't wait to do it again! My Mom treated me to acupuncture at Leverick Bay Marina to relieve my sea sickness/motion sickness problem. I was scared at first but it was a very relaxing, therapeutic session. Only 9 more sessions to go and I will be relieved of motion sickness forever, wahoo!

I didn't feel like posting all the pictures again so please check them out on my facebook page. You do not have to be a member, this is a public link. Enjoy!

mmm raw food!

After spending time with my brother in the British Virgin Islands and seeing all of his meals, I've decided to try to eat more raw food. A woman lost 160lbs eating a raw food diet, so why not?! My salad was delicious and I struggled to finish it. Eggplant is pretty hard to eat raw so I had to saute it, but I'm getting nutrients from the coconut oil. I know what's for lunch tomorrow!
Ingredients:
spinach leaves
a small avocado
edamame
eggplant sauteed in coconut oil
soy sauce
lemon juice

Bad news, and good news, in our emptying oceans

Bad news, and good news, in our emptying oceans

Yay, people are caring about sharks!

I'm a member of a pro-shark group called Shark Trust. A few weeks ago a mass email was sent out asking members to email the Shark Fest 2009 director, asking him to cancel the event. The event is still happening but it is a no kill event, wahoo! Finally people are listening and realizing sharks are a vital part of our earth and are too close to extinction. Next step, get rid of shark fin soup!

This is awesome! I was in tears by the end of the video. Wow, go Susan Boyle!

Wombat joey in mom's pouch

As you probably know from the youtube videos and photographs I post I'm a tad bit obsessed with wombats. I found this photograph on the Chicago Zoological Society web site and thought it was absolutely fascinating!
