Artistic Traveler

Honeyteering?

Shel — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 15:14:22 +0000

To an extent, Ryan and I have discussed marriage. For my friends reading this, I hope you recover quickly from your heart attacks. In all seriousness, though, it’s not really the idea of big poofy dresses and flowers and cake that inspire the thoughts; it’s mostly about the aftermath: The Honeymoon. I guess I’ve never [...]

The don’t call me the Artistic Traveler for nothing…

Shel — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 03:11:00 +0000

Out of the many, many things I’m grateful in my life, it’s pretty obvious to anyone with a pulse that I’m addicted to travel and appreciate the chances to get out there and see the world as well as visit friends who aren’t close by. It’s the reason Ryan and I joined couch surfing and [...]

2010 Trip to Colorado

Shel — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 20:55:27 +0000

It has been mentioned how absolutely beautiful the state of Colorado is, right? I still remember driving through it back in 2005 when I took a cross-country road trip with my then boyfriend. Back home in Atlanta, at best you might see a deer walking on the side of the road (a formidable [...]

July… what a month!

Contrary to popular belief, I am still alive! I was merely buried in a pile of work – literally – and spending a lot of time working out, going to craft meet ups, and learning how to sew from my mother. Ah, and I made a lovely birthday lunch for my grandfather too, which ate [...]

Proof of Working Out

Shel — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 02:45:54 +0000

It’s been quite a while since I had any photos to put up of us working out. There’s been shots taken I’m sure, but my face is probably too “OMG IT’S HOT” for them to ever wind up on the website. ;) So I decided to get one of the Fitness Battalion trainers [...]

In Which I Deconstruct and Rebuild the Pieces

Shel — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 19:18:53 +0000

Sorry about the delay between posts! Honestly, we’ve not been up to too much around here. Mostly we’ve been dedicating much of our spare time to the usual suspect – boot camp – as well as the unusual suspect (for me anyway): cleaning. Yes, cleaning. Having moved twice in the span of a [...]

1K Beer Run in Charlotte, NC

Shel — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 19:15:56 +0000

Last week, Ryan, Dan, and I all drove up to Charlotte, North Carolina for the 1K Beer Run sponsored by Phase 3 Media and Olde Mecklenburg Brewery to raise money for Pints for Prostates. You’re reading that correctly; it was a little over half a mile to run, walk, or push a stroller. [...]

Back from DC

Shel — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 19:44:25 +0000

Ah, finally. My legs are still a bit angry with me for walking around for five days straight then coming right back into boot camp (where we did a lot of leg exercises, of course), but aside from that, it was a wonderful trip! We did quite a bit for such a sort [...]

A little smog with your exercise, perhaps?

Shel — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 19:36:57 +0000

If there is one thing I hate about Atlanta summers – you know, besides the 95º+ heat – it’s all that smog. The thick, tan haze that covers the sky and makes your breathing difficult even if you don’t have asthma. It’s utterly disgusting, yet every year the city is blanketed in the stuff for [...]

Meet the Kittens

Shel — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 16:54:35 +0000

Some people identify as dog lovers, others at cat lovers. I’m an equal opportunity lover. Have cats? Let me pet them! Have a dog? Can I please run around and throw sticks with them? Yet in my busy, travel-filled life, a dog is not in the cards at the moment (though for the record, I’m [...]
