You all know that I'm not the most sentimental person ever, so to mark the anniversary I decided to write up some fun facts about the past 3 years (and if you bet that I'd last less than 3 years in Seattle/at the big M, you've lost):
,Aec Bought my first home
,Aec Learned how to paint
,Aec Picked up running
,Aec Realized that driving in a snowstorm is even scarier than I had ever imagined
,Aec Survived boot camp and winter sports conditioning
,Aec Learned how to install door stoppers
,Aec Successfully cooked from Mastering the Art of French Cooking, twice
,Aec Developed a taste for Manhattans, sidecars and Fran's sea salt caramels
,Aec Starting shopping weekly at the Sunday Farmer's market
,Aec Made friends with a few local bartenders
,Aec Finally learned to eat broccoli
,Aec Sharpened my bbq skills - I now grill a damn fine t-bone and popcorn (!)
,Aec Developed a latte habit
,Aec Got over my fear of frying food - mmmm, zucchini blossoms
,Aec Now buy flowers for no. reason. whatsoever
About the big M: yes, I still have a job. That I like. Working with people who I think are pretty cool and super smart. Life is still good on that front.
Finally, two kitchen-themed pics for you: This morning, Pete installed my new kitchen light. The first is up close, the second also shows off the new table. Isn't it pretty?
