Where Did The Time Go, In Pictures

by

Breakfast:  Berry Smoothie

Dessert:  Melt In Your Mouth Brownie Cookies

Where would you be without your iCal, Outlook calendar, or Google calendar?  Me?  I’d miss every lunch date, doctors appointment, deadline, you name it.  Today, every electronic in my house alerted me that it was time to submit my guest post to Kelapo Coconut.  I couldn’t (still can’t) believe that it’s December 20th already.  Seriously… Where did twenty eleven go??

Dearest FoodFash

Dearest FoodFash,

Today, you are two.  And for every second of the past two years, you’ve been a motivating force in my life.  You’ve turned me into a confident cook, baker, and crafter of all sorts.  You’ve given me the strength to show vulnerabilities and accept the support of my family and friends during the good times.  You’ve provided opportunities for me to test myself and become a stronger, better me.  But most of all, you’ve served as a connection between inner self and outer self, narrowing the gap between my dreams and my reality.  And for all of this, I am incredibly thankful.

Moving forward, I promise to remain committed to you.  I promise to keep you relevant, exciting, and pretty.  I promise to help you grow, connecting you with new blogging friends while nurturing your relationships with old blogging friends.  FoodFash… twenty twelve is going to be one for the books.

All my love,

Kristin

United Skates Of America

by

Last weekend, Laura and I brainstormed over Sunday beers and decided that rollerskating was going to happen in our near future. We also thought that red and green elf rollerskating was the only way to go.  We showed up United Skates of America’s adult night, excited, but not knowing what to expect.

We skated for three solid hours to 20% top 40, 80% classic rollerskating jams of the 80s and early 90s.  We couldn’t have picked a more fitting playlist if we had tried.  We heard Debbie Deb twice, and that’s all one could have hoped for.

Laura was a master skater and qualified to skate during the expert only, bounce skate sesh.  I, on the other hand, only had the basics down and still experienced the occasional “whoop whoop” moment where you feel like you’re going to bust it.  Overall, it was SO much fun.  I am totally down to do this on the regular!
