October...

I cannot believe how long it has been since I started this blog... and how many things have happened already.

SO, an update. Some pictures. Some stories.

#1 - Take a cooking class - Scheduled for November 1
Registered with my friend Maria and we are taking a "cooking with wine" class. I figured I needed something more than the Appetizers class I really wanted to take. Maria likes wine. I told her we can't drink the wine, we are cooking with it. We'll see how it goes, depending on the amount of wine that actually makes it into our food. I am, however, quite excited to catch up with Maria!!

#102 - Row in a Regatta - Head of the Ohio
It was a sweaty and beautiful day. We had two boats in the race - one competitive, one non competitive (which I was in). Because I am extremely competitive by nature, I was disappointed in our ninth place in the race, but it was fun and a really good workout. The competitive boat came in fourth, so WooHoo for the MEETINs. It was a good showing. No pictures from on the water, as my mom decided not to come, but here are a few from after the race, before our volunteer duties.














Now that rowing is over:
#4 - Take tap classes
Monday nights in Swissvale, starting next week. I have brand new tap shoes that I bought while in Connecticut (My aunt teaches dance professionally and my uncle owns a dance shop). I can't wait.

#7 - Buy an impractical car
First item actually off my list. I will post a picture... when I stop procrastinating my purchase of the damn card reader from Amazon. I'm so lazy. HA, POSTED!

Nissan Altima Coupe - 2008 - Black - So damn pretty.
Bose speakers, leather, XM radio. I'm so pimp, it hurts :)

Speaking of Connecticut...

#73 - Gamble with Nick Zoller
We went to Connecticut in September for my cousin Nick's 21st birthday. My cousin is a professional poker dealer, so to play right next to him would have been ridiculous. However, we did go to Mohegan Sun casino for his birthday, ate at a lovely Mexican restaurant for dinner and played poker in the New Poker Room of The Casino of the Wind. http://mohegansun.com/sitelet/casino-wind/index.html. I played at a 2/4 Holdem table by myself (they assign you as seats open up.), my cousins randomly at other tables in the room. After an hour I had won 4 hands and when I finally left I had only lost $3. With just the basics of poker knowledge, I think I did ok. It was really nice to be there with the family :) No pics from the poker room, not allowed to take photos of the games, but pics from the dinner instead.















#94 - Finish the Harry Potter series (7/7)
Finished on Monday, October 6. It was lovely - I really did enjoy them and I'm so glad that I finally read them

34. Visit DJ’s Island with Chris
Done and done. It was a fun experience with Veronica and Chris. And now I have a membership number if I decide to go back again.

#32. Suck it up and go to the Outer Skin – find the shave gel you liked.
Done. Did it in September with Veronica, Chris's partner. I am so happy. I bought 2. And tried on a corset while I was there, which was pretty hot. :D
