Birthdaaaay! 35...

I have the greatest life, I have the best friends, the raddest kid, my own business, an incredible family... seriously, some days I wake up and pinch myself because it's so amazing!!!

My birthday was so great this year too!!! I woke up, ran the SLC 1/2 Marathon with the most awesome dude in the world (Murray, vegan ultramarathon runner extraordinaire)... although, we started it together and then went our separate ways because he ran the full, and I did not. But it was an awesome way to start my birthday weekend!!! Then food at my current favorite restaurant... Tea Rose Diner! They'll make anything vegan on their menu, and they brought me out a special dessert. I love the owner, and their food is amazing!

Then... Airborne trampoline!!! Dude, this place was so rad! It was a warehouse FULL of trampolines! They went up the walls, and into foam pits! My new friend Tim (who RULES SO MUCH!) Kept throwing all of us into the pit, he's a tough guy!


And here's Shaun, Tim, and I... in my birthday Tutu! I really wish I had worn it during the marathon, I think I am going to next time!!!



Then Shaun and I went to Bike Prom (which was basically, a bunch of drunk hipsters... but still fun)! Bike ride at the end of an exhausting day... love it!



The next day we went to Boondocks! Go karts, slick track, bumper boats, laser tag, video games... FUN OVERLOAD!!! It was seriously SO AWESOME! And Django had a blast, esp. shooting people with water on the bumper boats!



Rows and rows of people I love (who I obliterated on the race track... I think I missed my calling in life, I may go to be the first vegan Nascaar driver).



Then to Himilayan kitchen, and back to my shoppe for cake! Crazy!!! Love it! Life is what happens when you stop worrying about the dumb things in the world, and appreciate what you have!

Re-motivated.

2010 ruled. It was great and I'm looking forward to topping it with 2011, I mean... the world ends in 2012 right? We might as well go out fighting.


I never really thought much about resolutions, if people want to make a change they should just make that change... the end of a calendar year shouldn't promote that but I guess it's a new page for many so this year I am trying to set goals for myself.

More time with Django. This year has been rough with the bakery, and I have not been able to spend nearly enough time with him... that changes somehow. He's helped me bake this week, he's actually getting it too... I measure, he dumps it in, it's super cute!

Music. Traveling and touring need to be in my near future so I need to start playing again. I love the idea of hitting the road with the little one, I think he'd have a blast and I would love to show him the world! My business is getting CLOSER to running with out me, I just need to start trusting people a little bit more. Oh yeah, and get some money somehow first.

Me. I need more time to work out, train for races, run, it's my only sanctuary right now and I don't have nearly enough of it. I'm going to do a half Iron Man this year and it's going to take some training... I have sort of been doing that at night time after Django goes to sleep, or early in the morning.

All these things take so much time.... Maybe I am in for not sleeping, I don't know but I rarely back down to a challenge, esp. when I set it myself. We'll see... I just need to take on less projects, and maybe less activism (yeah right)...

2011, don't fuck with me!
