967 Days

044. Take a picture a day for 365 days - (018/365)
I... never said they had to be consecutive days (/cop out).  Continuing my "documenting the soon-to-be-vacated-apartment" series, the first displays my bar area with the rarely-seen unopened bottles of wine (one for Easter dinner, one for me).  The second was snapped today and encompasses my attempt to photograph the droplets of rain that were so attractively hanging from the tree branches like tiny, delicate ornaments.  I was, unfortunately, mid-run and not particularly willing to provide the patience and steady hand that was required.   But you get the gist, right?


047. Complete all "Couch-to-5K" workouts within 2 months - (05/27)
You guys, I actually got up at 7am on Easter morning and went for a run.   I know this probably doesn't sound particularly impressive, but consider:
a) I'd already given myself a pass to skip Sunday and start Week 2 on Monday.
b) I never get up before I absolutely have to.  Ev-ar.
c) I am the laziest person you will meet.
That was actually a really satisfying run, and I'm starting to (slowly) understand what all these real "runners" are about.  Today it rained and rained and rained, but I still sloshed out into the be-puddled world, iPhone in a baggy (totally cool), and relished the soggy smells of spring.

040. Try 25 new wines - (04/25)
I'd had the Rex Goliath Pinot Noir before, I think, but never the Cab.  When I tried it for the first time on Easter it tasted mostly of juicy, tart cherries - almost like cherry candy.  I think that was because I hadn't had anything to eat yet, or maybe because I was on crack... the website claims the flavor notes are raspberry, plum, mocha, and currant.  Hmph.  I had another glass tonight, after my spaghetti dinner, and although I no longer tasted cherries, it was still decidedly delicious.  Another to add to my "Favorite Wines Under $10" list, though, as either way it is quite tasty.
