Brewed Awakenings

Yesterday, Thomas and I visited a new local business. The Brewed Awakenings coffee shop located at 1000 New Bridge St, here in Jacksonville. It was built using an economic development grant through the state. We’d been wanting to try it since it opened several months ago but it seemed to have weird hours and [...]

Snow Day?

It was supposed to snow last night. Schools and businesses were delayed and everything.
It didn’t.
I’m bummed.

Resolution #2

So far Resoltuion #1 is going ok. Granted it’s really only been two days but in those two days I’ve not gone over my daily alotment of calories and we’ve gone to the gym both days for at least 30 minutes (tonight’s visit was cut short by too much cheese in my slightly lactose intolerant [...]

Resolution #1

Oh Well…

Maybe next time.
The kayaking adventure didn’t go so well for me.  I couldn’t keep the boat upright in the water so I decided that I should just sit on the shore.  Actually, since everyone else was out of sight, I came home and took a shower. I’ll go get Thomas in a minute. The leader [...]

Today’s Adventure

Today, Thomas and I are going Kayaking. I am so excited. I can’t wait. I will do my best to post after the trip so that you all know how it was. This is our first kayaking adventure. I doubt that we’ll be able to take any pictures or anything [...]

The Finished Product

So.  Here they are.  My first pair of socks.  It took me two weeks to finish them.  These aren’t the socks that I originally started.  I had to pull that one out.  These are new socks that are for little feet.  I started these socks the day after I posted the first pictures and [...]
