Things I Love Thursdsay 6/18/09

  • The Nervous Breakdown! Guys, this site is chock full of fun, creative, thoughtful writers. I’ve recently started contributing to the site, but I am humbled by the quality of the other writers there. Please, go check these people out.
  • Target Women, a Youtube series my friend Ktree just showed me. I love Ktree, and I especially love how Sarah Haskins looks and thinks like Ktree. Here’s one of my favorite episodes.

  • Caffe Pronto in Annapolis. I can’t even begin to describe how awesome it is, but my new friend @CoffeeCulinaria gave me quite a lesson in coffee Tuesday afternoon. The cappuccino was exquisite, and the iced coffee was like nothing I’d ever had before. The down side was that I barely slept after that, but it was so worth it. Only thing that would’ve made it better would be a cupcake.
  • Advice from Cary Tennis. I’ve been reading his column more and more lately, not just for the advice he gives but for the quality of his writing. He empathizes with his querrants, and he rephrases their troubles in a way that helps readers get a grip on what’s really going on, and then he just writes his opinion on the matter in the softest, most satiny language I’ve ever seen from an advice columnist.
  • Running! Ok, well it’s more like jogging … or a run/walk situation. But back in December, I made up my mind to start getting in better shape. I stopped doing the “Fit Friday” posts because I felt like posting every slight change in my weight was becoming counter productive and stressful, but I’ve been trying to keep up my routine. I exercise several times a week. I’ve gradually worked up from Wii Fit to actually going to the gym, and now I’m starting jogging. It’s hard work, but it’s so rewarding. I’m in a much better mood in general when I excercise now, and lets just say my baithingsuit this year looks good.
  • I also adore our Realtor. Guys, if you live in the Baltimore/Annapolis/DC area and need a good Realtor, I would be happy to put you in touch with ours. She is a fantastic young woman who really helped us understand the whole process. She was very patient with us as we looked at one house after another, realized our budget was lower than we thought at one point, started the search over, finally made an offer on a house and then waited nearly a year for the sale to go through. She’s knowledgable, friendly, and able to answer all our questions, so I highly recommend her. And on that note, it’s time for me to go pack up some more stuff to get moved.
