#30 - See a professional play/musical

Ken bought me a ticket to see "Rent" on its one week only stint in Chicago. We went last night... conveniently for Valentine's Day. It was amazing!!! I had seen the movie, which is completely lame. But the live version... holy cow! We had great seats and had a nice evening in the city, even managing to catch the train we had planned on. It was a great Valentine's Day and an unbelievable performance!

#83 - Send someone flowers

My mom was the lucky recipient in January. Unfortunately, when I said "bright and colorful" they threw a lily in. I hate lilies for future reference. They smell horrible! Anyways, Mom was appreciative. I love sending flowers.

Book #21

Thank You for Smoking by Christopher Buckley. Liked it, didn't love it.

Recipe #2

Trying a "New To Me Recipe"----

Ken got the idea from Giada, but I did help. We made nutella wontons. Just throw some nutella in those little wonton wrappers, fry them for about 10 seconds, and you have a gooey treat that is fantastic. Especially with some bananas on the side. Yum!

#58 - A Random Act of Kindness

It may not seem like much, but I donate my Marie Claire magazines to the gym. It makes me happy to see people reading them every single time I'm at the gym. If you've ever pushed yourself to work out when you would rather be 1000 different places, you'll understand the importance of good, new reading material. So there's my Random Act #2.

Book #20

East of Eden by John Steinbeck... I really enjoyed this one and was totally into it. It got a bit long in parts, but the characters were pretty amazing. Good stuff.
