Too many good things!

I literally have 3 parties I could go to this Saturday night, and 4 parties I could go to on Sunday for the Superbowl.  Why does everything fun all happen at the same time??

Good Feelings

Here are little things that make me happy:

• Dreading make dinner and then realizing that I have restaurant leftovers waiting for me in the fridge.
• Finishing a bottle of shampoo/soap/etc. that you realized you didn't like the first time you tried it, but felt obligated to finish anyway.  This just happened to me with my shampoo, and I'm so happy I can finally go back to one I like.  : )

Rock Climbing

Rock climbing gym at the Manhattan Plaza Health Club

So I'm going rock climbing tomorrow with some of my labmates at an indoor gym near Times Square (at 3 pm on a workday...I guess academia sometimes has it's perks).  I haven't been rock climbing since high school.  Princeton had a wall and it was free on some nights, but it was always on weekend nights when I had lots of fun things to do at Quad, so I never went.  Anyway, in high school I wasn't that bad, in fact it was pretty fun (as long as I was on the "easy" wall, lol).  I remember that it takes a lot more upper body strength than lower body strength, so hopefully I haven't lost that since high school.  Anyway, I have no idea how it's going to go, hopefully I don't completely wipe out in front of my labmates, but either way I'm glad to be trying something (kind of) new!

Traveling

So I've been thinking about places I need to go to visit old friends, and it's quite a long list:

• San Francisco, CA
• Los Angeles, CA
• Seattle, WA
• Madison, WI
• Chicago, IL
• Atlanta, GA
• Little Rock, AR
• Washington, D.C.
• Boston, MA

So, in 2011, I will either be taking an awesome road trip, or a couple of flights.  Either way, it should be tons of fun : )
