fun new thing I tried today

Jaggergirl · #1 09-02-2003, 12:24 PM

okay, I was thinking this could be a thread we use to let each other know about all the cool stuff we're trying for the first time. Maybe it can help us all get out of the rut of doing the same thing all the time.

Today I:

walked to work
gave my dog a pup-peroni treat (just to be nice) which she loved
bought a
grapefruit flavored vodka made by Danzka.

anyone else?

I'll bite!! I actually started this two weeks ago, but I decided to let my bangs grow out. This is a HUGE step for me!!

I also started bringing my own ice tea to work, since no one around here seems to know how to make it!

honeychile, you must be a Southerner. I've never met a people more obsessed with their ice tea!

I'm hoping this walking to work bit will result in me shedding a few pounds. Maybe I'll even buy ankle weights.

Mentioned the Danzka grapefruit vodka to a friend of mine and we already have a cocktail recipes planned to try out. I'm very excited!

It was only my 2nd day at my internship today... decided to take the subway for the 1st time there... took the wrong train... I wasn't completely off base but I ended up walking a ways.

I went to class...LOL! Okay I know what you're thinking, of course you should go to class. HOWEVER I didn't have a break at all this summer and I was VERY tempted to skip out early today cuz I was struggling to stay awake. So a first for me...resisting the temptation to skip

It's funny you should say that, I'm from up north and recently moved to the south. I was so excited because no one where I'm originally from is as obsessed (except maybe Ali) with iced tea as I am. It's nice to finally be among people who share my views on the beverage.

Yeah, walking to and from places is cool and healthy! When I used to live in New York, I would walk from home to appointments, meetings, subways, restaurants and shops. I took the subway if it was necessary.

Now that I live in Arizona, I don't have that option and with the heat. I am looking into conducive options.

oh I know, I moved from PHX to outside of Atlanta. I am trying to get used to this walking thing. It sucks.

Have you tried Charbay grapefruit vodka? Pricey, but delicious.

I love iced tea. Love it love it love it. Mama Munchkin always makes a pitcher just for me when I come home!

I can't seem to find a decent glass in this city, though.

I tried octopus today. It sounds bad, but it was really good!

I love octopus.

I tried Sam Adams for the first time today. Don't act all surprised---I don't normally drink domestic brews, so this was a milestone.
