I made it safely to Montana! Currently in my hotel in Helena. It is so beautiful here it takes your breath away. Helena is literally surrounded by mountains on every side (at least it looks like it – I would have to check a map to be sure) so it is gorgeous no matter which [...]

Montana-Bound!
Posted in Play Time, tagged Helena, job, Montana, moving, travel, work on December 29, 2010 | 5 Comments »
I also got another very special Christmas present this year – a new job! As many of you know, my previous contract with Educate Tomorrow ended in November and I’ve been – somewhat lazily, to be honest, what with my moving and the holidays coming on – poking around for a new job. In late [...]

I have been so busy here that it’s been a while since I updated you all! It seems like the past two months I have had every single weekend just jam-packed with activities – not that I am complaining, of course, but there isn’t a lot of time! Here are some of the things I [...]
Finally Fall!
Posted in Play Time on November 7, 2010 | 2 Comments »
It is officially fall here in Miami! The sunsets are as beautiful as ever, but decidedly colder. I stepped outside last Friday morning, and turned right around, went back inside and grabbed a jacket! Yesterday, Natalie and I ran some errands and I was finally able to break out my BOOTS! Now, if only [...]
Brunch, Miami-Style

This past Sunday, my friend Yael and her husband Marcus hosted a brunch for a bunch of us from work, and several of the guys in Marcus’s program (he’s a doctoral student). Honestly, I had a really tough time deciding what to wear – when I think of brunch, I think of sundresses! and flowers! [...]

Note: If you are one of those people who thinks cilantro tastes like soap, this recipe is not for you! Come back tomorrow. :) Okay. I know I toot my own horn a lot when I come up with new recipes, but you have to remember that when a recipe turns out well, I’m just [...]

Because October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, many of the buildings have been decorated with pink lights! To represent the “Think Pink” campaign. Isn’t it pretty? The shorter building in the foreground is Freedom Tower, a historic 1925 landmark building in Miami, Florida, that serves as a memorial to Cuban immigration [...]
The Best Day
Posted in Play Time, tagged the best day on October 2, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Reasons why today has been the best day ever: 1. Slept in. 2. Went for a run. (This a huge, because usually I have a tough time dragging myself to the gym on the weekends.) 3. Spent the afternoon laying by the pool, tanning and swimming and chatting with my friend Natalie. 4. We walked [...]

Over Labor Day Weekend, I enjoyed the most relaxing weekend I’ve had in a long time! On Saturday, a group of us decided to spend the entire day at the beach on Key Biscayne. My friend Yael’s husband is in a PhD program at the University of Miami, and several of his colleagues live on [...]
