365 days of blue lollipop road; day 1

1.1.14

Happy Happy New Year!

It’s January 1, 2014 so I’m officially kicking off a project I’ve been thinking about for a long while now. Before I dish full details of my undertaking, I will start this first day with the below photo I took while taking a walk on Delray Beach in Florida today:

Check back tomorrow for the next “BLR”! Until then, a question to ponder…

Where’s your Blue Lollipop Road taking you today?

nothing says christmas like the caribbean

1.) I survived Chicago a couple weeks ago! (Even though I froze my butt off:) It was -3 degrees one of the days, I got to stuff my face with some of the best food around, catch up with a bunch of super fun friends, and celebrate the marriage of two amazing guys who are some of my favorite people in the world. YAY!

2.) Last week? I spent (or should I say we spent) Christmas in the Caribbean. (OMG am I a happy camper.) We drove to Florida to our port and cruised away into the warm. What a week it was. My kind of holiday is sand and surf. YAY!

I’ll share photos from my last two trips, and a few BLR updates and happenings for 2014 soon. For now, I’m writing to say…

HERE’S TO THE BEST NEW YEAR YET AND LIVING LIKE YOU MEAN IT.

How are you going to live like you mean it in the new year?

a freeze and thaw december

‘Tis the season for holiday travel!

I’m en route to Chicago now (BRRR…) and no surprise a major delay on my flight (BOO…) so I will miss a lunch date at one of my most favorite Windy City chow spots, but at least I have the rest of a long food, love, fun-filled wedding weekend to look forward to. (Maybe I didn’t really need those pretzel encrusted pancakes with white chocolate sauce today anyway. I do have to fit into a pretty tight dress on Saturday night.) I cannot wait to be back in one of my favorite ever cities!

In an effort to balance out the chill, we are going to the Carribean for Christmas! (Whoop!) Nothing says Happy Holidays to me like a sandy beach, warm sunshine, a tropical drink, and a super-awesome, fun, cute man to frolic and adventure with. Thank you, Santa!

Having a home base is good and all, but lets face it- travel rules and the road will always call. (For me anyway.) I love watching people, I love new experiences, new foods, and exploring everything possible. I can’t imagine that ever changing. As I sit here in the hustle and bustle of the busy CLT airport, I feel invigorated and alive. So many places to go, so much to see, so little time…

Travel Channel, Discover Channel, Travel company X- when are you going to hire me already? 🙂

What makes you feel invigorated and alive?

hello, monday!

I just finished up a 5:30am run in the 34 degree and drizzly dark on this December 9th morning. It’s amazing how tortured you can feel getting up out of a warm bed before sunrise to go out in the cold to work out- but even more amazing how awesomely badass you feel when you finish.

What are you up early for today?
