As Week Four comes to a close, I feel woefully behind on completing this challenge. But that's why they call it a challenge, right? I had planned on doing two posts, but one got rescheduled to May 15th, and one happened on a day when work blew up, so I missed it (was supposed to volunteer at the hoboken homeless shelter, sigh...) But that's life.
Training for the Gran Fondo is going well... I completed a 67 mile ride, and have just two weeks left before the big day. Also coming up in the next few weeks: a date with a psychic to get my cards read, guest bartending, and traveling to the Galapagos Islands!!!
One success I had: I made SEVEN new recipes... Shrimp Fra Diavlo over whole wheat pasta, Apricot and cheese strudel, Mahi mahi tacos with a mango avocado salsa, Shrimp and chocolate tortilla soup, and Julia Child's Boeuf Bourguignon, JC's Sauteed Mushrooms, and JC's Beef-braised Onions.
I need your help!
#22 on my list is to splurge on something sparkly... so I'm creating a new poll (check it out on the right!). You have four options - what do you think I should splurge on? (Please don't think of me as super-materialistic... I simply have a tradition of buying myself a gift for my birthday/Christmas rolled in to one :) )
Option A: A Michael Kors watch, such as this gold one or this silver one
Option B: These Gold CZ and green onyx starfish earrings
Option C: Not traditionally what you would think of as "sparkly", but has that same effect
Option D: Way out of my price range... a gorgeous David Yurman ring (part of me really wants you to pick this one so I HAVE to get it, but my budget would definitely cry... sigh. Responsibilities suck, huh?) Maybe this one as a less expensive alternative?
What do you think? Don't forget to vote in my poll!
