movie? song? or artist?’ because i find them boring. chicago is my blood. i’ve called seattle and italy home. dc suits my current mood. my dad is my best friend. i like bud in a can, but have been called a beer/wine/food snob on more than one occasion. i’d like to live greener. i’d also like to be realistic. i will always own a car. - i strongly believe that the secret to making green is going green. this is the intention i plan to learn by, live by and work by. - oh and ice cream. i LOVE ice cream. — sometimes i procrastinate here: my 2010 training bloglivestrongClick Here to Donate the wait wait don’t tell me guysundry mourningfunky butte ranchpioneer womanfat cyclistcamels and chocolateKERFthe lady behind ladyany connection to chez panisse is a good connection —Tumblr (3.0; @askyourself)http://www.annejuliet.com/as i start in on month three, i’m starting to notice that i’m eating a whole lot better...http://www.annejuliet.com/post/424531127http://www.annejuliet.com/post/424531127Wed, 03 Mar 2010 13:47:10 -0500i take the bus. i occasionally ride the metro, but i tend to find it a bit dark, depressing and...http://www.annejuliet.com/post/424464666http://www.annejuliet.com/post/424464666Tue, 02 Mar 2010 12:54:00 -0500 feb 6, 2010 feb 27, 2010 oh what a difference a month makes.http://www.annejuliet.com/post/420105972http://www.annejuliet.com/post/420105972Mon, 01 Mar 2010 11:57:00 -0500 i’m feeling sad that i’m not going to NYC this weekend to visit miss h.  but,...http://www.annejuliet.com/post/413760370http://www.annejuliet.com/post/413760370Fri, 26 Feb 2010 14:48:19 -0500among the many trivial things that overflow out of my brain on a daily basis is figuring out exactly...http://www.annejuliet.com/post/411461417http://www.annejuliet.com/post/411461417Thu, 25 Feb 2010 12:45:26 -0500in a matter of days after i put out my first email requesting support, i was bombarded with...http://www.annejuliet.com/post/409211216http://www.annejuliet.com/post/409211216Wed, 24 Feb 2010 10:43:00 -0500perhaps more appropriately, chalet camping, in photos: jame-o more bread,...http://www.annejuliet.com/post/405312797http://www.annejuliet.com/post/405312797Mon, 22 Feb 2010 14:14:00 -0500 at this very moment, i’m 27% to my fundraising goal. 27! my lucky number and most favorite...http://www.annejuliet.com/post/396023623http://www.annejuliet.com/post/396023623Wed, 17 Feb 2010 23:54:00 -0500well, i missed the ole blog last week. the storm knocked a tree on my interwebs and cable. it was...http://www.annejuliet.com/post/395206493http://www.annejuliet.com/post/395206493Wed, 17 Feb 2010 15:48:00 -0500<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kxmv2khIka1qz6f2no1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>the view outside my apartment via blackberry. no interwebs or cable for me (going on day 5).  i’ll be back when i can!  in the meantime, time to deal with the cabin fever…</p>http://www.annejuliet.com/post/381961276http://www.annejuliet.com/post/381961276Wed, 10 Feb 2010 10:59:00 -0500 happy birthday do the best dad in all the land! and happy snowmageddon, dc! play hard this weekend...http://www.annejuliet.com/post/372534311http://www.annejuliet.com/post/372534311Fri, 05 Feb 2010 11:46:25 -0500i don’t mean to start a hot debate here about pro-choice v. pro-life, and i have been paying...http://www.annejuliet.com/post/370928931http://www.annejuliet.com/post/370928931Thu, 04 Feb 2010 14:27:00 -0500 this was the view out my window when i finally picked the sleep outa my eyes this morning.  i...http://www.annejuliet.com/post/368896202http://www.annejuliet.com/post/368896202Wed, 03 Feb 2010 10:47:49 -0500<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1jVtx0o-Pn8&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1jVtx0o-Pn8&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>of course that little rodent saw his freaking shadow.</p> <p>jerkface.</p> <p>nawww, i like winter. i like cold. i like snow. i do, i really really do.</p> <p>i love running in the cold. i am so much faster. so much more focused. and this weekend i proved that a <strike>snowy</strike> blizzardy run can be super fun. but, once was enough. or every once in a <i>while</i> is enough. its a real pain in the ass to plan to run fast in icey conditions.  and i’m a planner. so, i’m going a little insane with this up in the air crap. there is no way i’m running 10 miles in on a treadmill this weekend.
