updates on life.

Updates for everyone (or just anyone who cares):

Sas has a fun new blog you should check out. It's called ComfortSource and is "Your Guide to Life's Comforts." I'm loving it so far (especially since she already put up pics of my puppy cousins, the ultimate in comfort!).

Thank you all for your fabulous music recommendations! You all had great ideas that are making the gym so much better. I've decided I need a way to listen to my iPod, watch and listen to TV, read, and people watch (my gym is in a busy area with nice big windows!) all at the same time. The more distractions I have, the better. I think I'm basically the only person who belongs to my gym (well, maybe there are 10 of us, but I'm the only one there at 9:30 a.m.), which is lovely because I can basically do whatever I want. And it's all brand new and pretty. I just hope it doesn't shut down due to lack of business.

My sleep schedule is getting better. I'm so proud of myself! I go to bed "early" (OK, anytime before 2:30 a.m. is early for me) and I get up "early" (again, anytime before 8:30 a.m. is early for me). And it works because even if I want to stay up later, I can't because I'm so tired from getting up early. Of course, tonight might get all screwed up since it was free iced coffee day at Dunkin' Donuts and I may have taken a little too much advantage of it. Just a bit wired right now.

Updates especially for my lovely Bostonians:

If you like wine (and who doesn't?) and you're in the Boston area, you should make sure to grab your ticket to come see Gary Vaynerchuk at BU on June 19. Tickets are free and there are only 37 of them left, so you might want to hurry. Gary is awesome. You may know him from his website Wine Library TV, where he talks about wine in a fun, easy to understand way. He also makes other videos on his website and talks about things like the fact that he gets between 500-1,000 e-mails a day and answers all of them! Um yeah, I get between 30-40 e-mails a day and answer like 5 of them. He was on Conan O'Brien and Donny Deutsch within the past few days. He also just came out with a book, 101 Wines Guaranteed to Inspire, Delight, and Bring Thunder to Your World. I just bought it and am loving it so far!

Obviously, he's no 2guysuncorked, but he's still pretty fabulous and an awesome public speaker. So get your ticket! I'll be there with a couple friends.

Also, I said it at We are not Martha, but I'm saying it again here. Go to BerryLine in Harvard Square. It is seriously the most amazing thing ever. And I will be there lots this summer. It's about 7 miles there and back from my apartment and I walked it all last week. Would do it again and again for this stuff. Of course, I could also take public transportation, but I love walking, especially if I have good company.

I've been working hard on writing Boston guides over at GuideSpot. If you want some cool Boston info. like where to find the best martinis or where the best concert venues are, check out my guides. Even if you're not from Boston, GuideSpot probably has guides for your city too! It's a lovely place to write for.

Oh and also, Bryan Adams is going to be on Regis and Kelly tomorrow morn. Nottt like I'm overly excited about it or anything!!

we are not martha launch. yesssss.

Chels and I are finally launching our new website! It's still in the beginning stages and we have a lot of tweaking to do, but we got the site up and are pretty excited about it. It's called We are not Martha and is basically about our adventures in cooking, eating, decorating, and just plain living life.

We've always been completely in love with Martha Stewart, but we know that so many people our age can't stand her. So, we wanted to do a sort-of Martha Stewart like site for people in their 20s; but of course we hope people of any age will find it useful. Maybe it will inspire you to try cooking a little more...or give you some good ideas for throwing a party. At the very least, you might have fun following Chels and I as we we learn that growing up is actually sort of fun.

So, please come visit us at http://www.wearenotmartha.com/ and leave us comments to let us know what you think. And if you have any great ideas for us, let us know! Don't forget to add us to your GoogleReader. Thank you, my blogger friends :)
