Something happened.

To Jake “something happened” is the worst sentence in the world. For some reason, it is my sentence of choice for many incidences. It can mean anything from ‘The car needs gas’ or ‘I can’t find my other shoe’ to ‘I broke all of your favorite stuff by accident and it’s gone forever’. I don’t [...]

Wall street goofs.

Jen and I went to the Food Truck Festival at Southstreet Seaport on Saturday and ate a lot of food together. (we didn’t get to eat the pickle in the picture, because I dropped it) When we were nice and full, we walked back to the car, which was parked on Water St. and Maiden. [...]

My current favorites.

TV Shows. Big Brother. All though Big Brother is a normal favorite, not just a current. (I want to talk about this in its own post.) Breaking Bad Radio Shows. This American Life. I download and listen to the archives every day on the subway or when I run. The stories are so interesting and [...]

More Barcelona

That Wednesday in Barcelona was pretty laid back. We didn’t get back to our apartment until about 4 am, so we slept in and had a lazy morning. Here is one of my faults, I cannot sleep in. I was exhausted after dancing all night! Exhausted! But I still only slept in on my standards, [...]

Our last day in Paris.

I think one of my favorite days of the whole trip was our last day in Paris. We got out of bed bright and early, 6ish, and headed out the door for a busy and beautiful day. We went straight to the Eiffel Tower. We both wanted to see it again, because we were so [...]

Weekend gems.

We ran a 10K in Central Park even though we (Jake and I) weren’t really trained. I wasn’t proud of my time but then I remembered I didn’t deserve to be. Maybe I can find some motivation somewhere? The race was painful but in a good way. I love to run. I even love those [...]

uneventful week.

We’ve laid low this week. It’s been so nice because the weather is cold and rainy and windy, and also because I worked almost 12 hours yesterday. In NYC, lots of people work 12 hour days, but for some reason I always feel like I did something incredible if I work that long. And when [...]

saturday and sunday.

have i ever told you that my maiden name is Baker? it fits, because baking is the only thing i can sort of do in the kitchen. i can’t cook anything more complicated than a sandwich or a burrito, but i can usually do a pretty good job in the baking department, especially cookies. so, [...]

Reagan: Birthday girl.

I turned 27 on Friday. When I was little, it always annoyed me when I would hear adults talking about how fast life happens, how fast they’re aging, how they remembered me in diapers. I thought to myself “yeah, yeah, whatevs, get a life” and swore I wouldn’t say those things when I grew up. [...]

Reagan and Jake went to Philadelphia

Our trip to Philadelphia was a success! I love it there and hope to go back for a real vacation sometimes. I’ve only been twice, but both times were for this race, and there is only so much other stuff we can cram in! We skipped off to the PA after a crazy day on [...]
