Snow-Tubing!

Well, I had a fun weekend full of all kinds of silliness.

There was dancing and drinks, dinner with friends, even a date.

But most importantly of all, there was something new!

Snow-tubing. Yep, that's right. Tubing on snow. Crazy right? It's basically sledding with a tube. And awesome.

1. It was night time, so it was dark. Who doesn't like the dark? Ok well there were lights, so it wasn't crazy dark.

2. There was snow! And I had warm gloves. Which is the best of the best, cold air and warm body. Love it!

and most importantly...

3. It was like flying down a hill on my stomach and involved praying I didn't die or hit something or bounce off.

All known as ingredients for awesome.

Totally have to do it again sometime.

Feb - Soccer

Oh...my...GOD!

How has no one ever gotten me to play soccer before? It's amazing, you run around after a ball and try to stop the other team from kicking it at your goal while kicking it at your own.

All while stopping, starting, turning, twisting and trying not to fall over while kicking the ball.

Long story short, I loved it and hope to have more of this sport in my life going forward. =)

In fact, I hope to one day have a post entitled "I MADE A SOCCER GOAL". Because that'll totally be new and awesome. Right?

Glass blowing

Yep, that's right. I said Glass-blowing! A friend took me to a class last weekend and it was fun, shorter than expected and more of a "blow" a piece and come back and take a real class later.

But, we both enjoyed it and we both want to take the real class later. Which will be a whole new experience as i"ll get to actually move and work with the glass hands on.

I'll have to add a picture of my piece once we go pick them up. =)

January

I'm a little behind so, here's a list of things I did in January that I hadn't done before. Complete with commentary.

New Recipes
Buttermilk Biscuits - omg, these are too easy to make and so tasty. Stunned I hadn't done it before. Recipe went to food blog and I feel the need to learn how to make sausage gravy.

Buttermilk Pound Cake - Refer to above, but add in more awesome. I even published the recipe to my food blog.


New Places
List - Bar in Belltown, I wasn't terribly impressed but my mood may have been off.


New Experiences
Photoshoot with a friend - technically not fully new, but it's been years. So I'm counting it. =) It was fun and I felt pretty, a nice change from the last few months

Visited SoCal - Disneyland!!! Enough said. ;)

So...

Months later, I think I've figured out what I'm going to do here.

I'm going to chronicle the new in my life, why? Well, because "new" was one of my new years resolutions. I want more "new" in my life.

More importantly, I want to experience more. So this is be where I'll do that.


We'll start with what "new" means to me.

New can mean new sports, new shows, new bars, new friends...possibly even new shoes. It means experiencing something I haven't done before. Sometimes I'm sure I'll enjoy myself, other times not so much. But that's ok, I won't know until I try.

And I've recently realized, the only person who can place limitations on me is myself. So why should I stand in my own way?
