- Healthy recipes - more specifically, easy healthy recipes. I've loved eating fresh foods lately and have really enjoyed my roasted vegetable creations. I'd like to continue to expand my options. I've spent a lot of time reading recipes and how to cook a whole variety of vegetables!
- Sign Language - I recently had to make a list of yearly and career goals for work. One of my aspirations was to become proficient in sign language so that I could be called upon as an interpreter, if needed. We currently have Spanish speakers but no sign language interpreters. I'm working through the online lessons at ASLU at Lifeprint.
- Running - Spring and Summer are coming, which means lots of outdoor running! My friend Bryn and I have a handful of races scheduled to get us through Spring. We've got the St. Patrick's Day 4-mile run tomorrow. The Bolder Boulder run at the end of May. Six miles! And the Estes Park 10k in June. I've got my eye on the Rock 'N Roll Half Marathon in Denver in September. I've been reading up on muscle recovery and stretching. I don't want to get injured - I'm on a roll! Oh, and I've been reading about weightlifting for runners and women. I'm very intrigued by CrossFit and have looked for ways to incorporate some of the moves (damn you, burpees!) into my workouts. There's still A LOT to learn.
- Hiking - it's that time of year again. I've been checking out various hiking blogs to figure out cool new places to visit this summer. I've still got my eyes on a few 14ers. But I have to start simple and am checking current conditions at all the local spots - county, state, and national parks. We've got options, by golly!
- Disney World - it's this small trip we have coming up. I found a great website that gives photo tips for Disney World. Some of the locals there go nuts and visit every weekend just to take photos!! That would be pretty awesome. I've yet to decide how much of a die-hard photographer I will be on the upcoming vacation. I'll probably just go straight-up tourist.
- I've been planning my patio garden for the year. I think I'm going to try do mostly edible plants on the patio this year. In the next few days I want to get all of my containers prepped and maybe even plant a few seeds inside. See bullet point one ... my inspiration for a container garden!
- I've been internet brainstorming for fun Moxon Mondays for the summer. I've found lots of arts and crafts projects and have a list of places to visit. We're going to have a blast this summer!!
- Another work related item - I volunteered to be a department photographer of sorts. I've been reading up on external flash photography, something I don't have any experience with and will need to know. Sometimes to learn something new and gain experience, you got to stick your neck out there, right? Yup.
And those are just a few of the things rolling around upstairs. There's never a dull moment up there that's for sure!! More sharing is for another day!
