        Source: give-me-summer.tumblr.com via Stephanie on Pinterest I’ve never been one to know what “season” it is. Despite my love of clementines, I’m always surprised when I see them in the grocery store. I get super pumped when I see those little wooden crates packed with clementines allegedly from Spain. {I’m super skeptical about…

    Hotel Rants (but no Raves)

    Source: harmoniogkontrast.blogspot.com via Gayla on Pinterest In life I like to think I’m not picky, I roll with the punches. I’m certainly particular, but not picky. Perhaps I’m arguing based on semantics but since I’m the one writing, I get the final say. However, in traveling life I willingly admit that I’m picky. Its not…

There is something just super attractive about just the right amount of facial hair on a guy. By facial hair, I mean stuff…

    Cozy Rain

    Source: shannoneileenblog.typepad.com via Sanela on Pinterest It’s raining today in Boston… and It’s foggy in Philadelphia. I just can’t win weather wise 🙂 Rain always makes me want to do one of two things: 1) Go for a run outside 2) Stay inside and snuggle on a couch. Often option #2 wins out. Like today,…

    Omaha!

    Its been a slow process getting blog traffic from all 50 states. Thanks to a few good friends I’ve managed to snag some of the more difficult states (Alaska, Hawaii, Vermont, etc). Until recently the only states that I was missing were Nebraska and South Dakota. Thanks to the eTrade baby I managed to snag…

    Freakishly Amazing

    I’ve been on the hunt for awhile for some new running tights/pants/whatever you want to call them. Workout clothes are obviously a sizable market and you’d think it would not be a challenge for me to find something I liked. Is it so much to ask for something knee length, not loose, no weird accent…

    … of my fitbit. I love leading a data driven life, but as much as I love data I’m not the best at recording my activities. I’ve often tried to keep track of my workouts in spreadsheets or in a notebook to no avail. I just don’t keep at it. Then the fitbit came into…

    Yippee! More Travel!

    Sarcasm. But yes… Another day of travel. Yesterday I was lucky enough to fly over my hometown on my way to Philly. Like I mentioned last Friday, I just really like looking out the window when I’m in the air. Even if it’s cloudy I still think it’s awesome. This flight is just so short…

    Just your average Suburban Saturday

    Spring has obviously sprung and one of the best parts of that happening is being able to go for runs outside. I used to get “stressed out” about running outside because I’d get super preoccupied with how far I’d run, how fast (slow), or whether I’d missed any calls. Thankfully, my transition to the Android…
