Weeks = 11, Adventures = 11 | San Francisco Bike Tour

Hey, Hi, Hello!  I hope everyone is doing good on this cold, rainy, blustery November night.  I am snuggled in at home tonight, reminiscing on one of my latest adventures ... a bike tour through San Francisco on a beautiful and sunny November day! Last week, I was lucky enough to spend the week in San Francisco, and I LOVED the city.  I had an amazing time wandering the city and really enjoyed having a chance to spend a lot of time with one of my sisters and my oldest friend.  And while I am so glad that I got to spend time with them in San Fran, my favorite part of the trip, by far, was a bike tour I took with Dylan's Tours.   Dylan's Tours is a local tour company in San Fran that does a variety of tours in San Fran and the greater San Fran area - both bike and van.  And I have to say, they were PHENOMENAL!  Their tour was one of the best tours I have ever done. But before I share how amazing the tour was, I need to fill you in on the pre-adventure adventure.

Weeks = 10, Adventures = 10 | Barre Class

For years I have heard people talk about barre class with almost religious fervor.  Those that go to barre classes on a consistent basis swear that is the best and most complete exercise out there, that EVERYONE should give it a try.  It has fanatical following up there with cross fit.  And like with cross fit, I am skeptical.  (I will be giving cross fit a try at some point this year.) The women I know who attend barre class religiously tend to be the super feminine and fashionable, neither adjective is one I would use to describe myself.  So I had always stayed away from barre class under the assumption that barre wasn't going to be for me.  I know, I know, I should be open-minded and not so judgemental, but hey, I am working on it!

DIY

Weeks = 9, Adventures = 9 | The Table, Part 1

Before I update y'all on my latest adventure, I think it's important that I share a couple of things with you: I am not very handy.  I once took an entire day off of work to fix a leaking s-trap in my kitchen sink.  8-hours and at least 4 trips to the hardware store later, the sink was still leaking and I had to call a plumber. I am notorious for starting and not finishing a project timely.  It took me 10 YEARS to make a quilt out of my college t-shirts. I chronically underestimate how long a project will take. I own very few tools, shockingly few as a home owner. I am not a very patient person. I am cheap and hate spending money unless it is on "fun" things (mainly trips and experiences) Knowing all this, you may (or may not) be surprised to learn that my latest adventure took me into the furniture DIY arena.  When I moved into my house years ago, my aunt and uncle generously handed down their old kitchen table - a nice, solidly built table that was still in great condition.

Weeks = 9, Adventures = 8 | Mr. Lee’s

Happy Sunday! Sorry for the delay in updating you all on my adventures... all 3 of you that are following along!  But work and life have been chaotic, and I haven't taken the time to sit down and write.  As I have confessed before, I am not a big writer and would rather be doing than writing.  Which is why I am behind and now have 3 blogs to write. :/  So I am leveraging some down time on my flight to my next adventure to catch up and renew my commitment to my year-long quest.  I know me, if I don't catch up now, my delay will extent and extend and extend to the point of no writing return which will then become of the point of no-adventure return.  Time to get back at it! While I haven't been writing, I have been adventuring, several intentional, one unintentional.  More on the unintentional in a future post...
