Ray of Hope and Girl Power! About this time last year, with the help of my family and friends, I raised over $300 for one of my favorite organizations, Girls on the Run while training for my first half marathon. This year, I am running the Portland Half Marathon with the Ray of Hope team. I've doubled my goal this year to $600 and am raising money for Ray of Hope and their Girls Empowerment

I've updated some glaring inconsistencies, but this will most likely be my last blog on this current site. You can find me with my husband, here. It's official, Dunc and I are married.

After a month of moving, the last few weeks of half-marathon training and working on wedding announcements, Duncan and I are finally settling into a more normal life. We've spent the last month between two houses and we are now officially down to just one. I cannot tell you how relieved I am to cross that huge task off the list; and how excited I am to have a real home with Duncan (and Oly and

Okay, so it isn't THAT long since we returned. But it has been so long that now we are nearer to Taryn & Tom's visit to the States than to our visit across the pond. Speaking of England, it's currently #hateEnglandWeek on twitter and the trend is pretty funny, with tweets like (I didn't include the hashtag on all of these, but for the non-twitterers out there, the tags just link all the comments

I am a really bad nerd. Why? Because I never knew until today that this is Star Wars Day. You don't know why? Because May the 4th Be With You... Oh puns, you never fail to amuse me or annoy me. Anyway, Cake Wrecks did an homage to Star Wars (Jen, the author is a hugely awesome nerd) and other Star Wars nerds have been coming out of the woodwork on facebook and twitter. So there you go.

Since Logan and Jody are being much better at keeping the world up-to-date on their running achievements (nice racing skills friends, I wish we were closer so we could run more together), I thought it was high time to catch everyone up on what the heck I've been doing. So! You may remember in January I stated my intent to run a race EVERY MONTH. Wellllll, that has not been the case. Not because

When Duncan left off, we were enjoying Taryn's home-cooked curry in Cheltenham...he mentioned that we played Texas Hold 'Em that evening after dinner, he stole part of Day 6. Stephanie Tanner would definitely pull a "How Rude!" S'okay Dunc, I forgive you. But I will elaborate on the evening of Day 5, we hit up the local movie theatre for Kick Ass! Which was pretty dang entertaining... however

More specifically, Prom Dresses. This month kicked off the season for one of my favorite organizations, The Ruby Room. A most awesome group that provides dresses, shoes, purses and jewelry to girls (and some boys!) that cannot afford the typical prom apparel. Last year, Anna and I worked as Personal Shoppers and helped pair local teens with the dress of their dreams, or as close to the dream

Today, I dedicate this post and this song to Mr. Duncan Hauenstein. Why? Oh, you're silly. Obviously because it is Dunc's 25th Birthday!!!! I'm super excited for our 26th year of life (and 6th year together!), it is gonna be a good one. Back to the Duncanstein... Welp, you see, Duncan is pretty much the best person in the world. I'm not even exaggerating. From the first day we met, though I tried

I promise that Duncan and I, along with Logan, Jody, Chris and Lindy, will attempt to fill this void. But in the meantime, get your fill at The Pioneer Woman. Her most recent Photography Assignment was to post our favorite pet portraits. Go, enjoy, make squealy noises.

After reading Jody's blogs and talking to Log and Jod (mind the loooong o's) about the crazy crazy weather they are having, I was reminded of just how ginormous the US is and how incredibly different the Atlantic and Pacific coasts can be. While Logie and Jody are stuck under two feet of crazy blizzard, lovingly named the "Snowpocalypse," Dunc and I are enjoying the warm temperatures that are

For your viewing pleasure, some videos Dunc and I finally downloaded from the flip cam. Of course most are of animals. BUTTERS! IZZY! The myth and mystique of the Pumpkin The Fun Level OLY! (This one is real long, but Oly was feeling left out of the video scene, and he looks real pretty in the sunlight.) Sleep sitting up!

Oh yes, you read that right. Beet Murder. We just so happen to receive an overabundance, or a perfect amount of abundance... or perfect amount of bundance? Anywho, we get a lot of beets in our farm box. Typically, I am a roasted beet type of girl, but we had about 10 small and medium beets on our hands begging to be eaten. After a bit of googling, I found that it is not only nutritious but

It might be apparent that Duncan and I really like our animals. It isn't? Well we do. Oh you want proof do you? Okay, so 90% of the pictures on our camera look like the following: I call this one "nose"  I call these ones "toes"... (I'm very creative when it comes to naming pieces. I do love how Oly falls asleep in the best positions. Like this one, with all his feet neatly in a pile. Good

I know Lindy gave you all/most of the details about last week's adventures in Austin/Round Rock/Pfluggerville, but for those of you who don't visit facebook (lin posted a bunch of these photos) or Picasa (Dunc's albums), here is a photo recap from my camera: My first night there, we needed to watch the Rose Bowl (Longhorns!) so we headed to Sushi Mimi (I think...) and I took these lovely gems.

You may recall that Duncan and I were planning to and did run a 5k on New Year's Day that ended with a dive into the freezing waters of Lake Washington. And it was COLD. It also was one of the harder races I've run in the last 12 months. Still, it is hands down the best race of the year.  I was a bit hungover (sorry parents!) from imbibing a bottle of champagne on NYE, but the movement of

SWEET potatoes! And Molokai purple potatoes... and the purple potatoes we recently received in our CSA box... I really do love potatoes. Why all the potato love? Because this evening, we cooked up a bunch more potatoes in the beauty of a cassoulet dish with some chicken, beets and red wine. DELISH! Our CSA box provides us with an abundance of potatoes: Les pommes de terre! (This is one of my

I would have titled it Gelukkig Nieuwjaar... except, Dunc already did that. I didn't want to be repetitive, so I translated! YAY! It seems like a lot of people are posting resolutions around this blogosphere, so I thought I would join in with a few of my own. Granted I usually just make changes in my life when I think of them and want them to happen. - examples: Cash Diet (March 2009), Operation

I love Polar Bears a lot. I get pretty depressed whenever I think about how more and more starve to death each year because the ice doesn't form soon enough for them to begin hunting... thanks climate change. BUT on a more positive note, because of my love for the bears and for running, I will once again be running into Lake Washington on January 1st. Best race of the year, hands down. Dunc

Dunc is working half a shift at Whole Foods and Napoleon is currently resting his head on my hand while I type... his very subtle hint that he a) would like some attention b) would like to go on a walk or c) would like both with a treat added in for good measure.

Once upon one month ago, I mentioned some recipes that I would be making for Thanksgiving. I did in fact make all the aforementioned delights, and they were indeed delightful. I meant to do a whole Pioneer Woman thing and photograph all my steps, but the light didn't last and taking photos of every step is REALLY time consuming, so here is what I captured: Some of the ingredients for the

Since the internet's hatred of Thanksgiving hindered by complete list over the weekend, I am going to attempt to sneak more Thanks under the internet's nose.

I did it!!! Hooray! Yesterday at approximately 10:56 am PST, I completed my first half marathon in the picturesque Bavarian village of Leavenworth, WA. Since Leavenworth is about 2 hours away from Seattle and my race started at 9 am, we thought it would be a good idea to stay closer and avoid a 6 am wake up call. Methinks it was for the best. Hence, on Friday afternoon, we headed to a cabin ("

Well not worse than before, but worse than last month... I ran another 10K this weekend and it was significantly less flat than the Covey Run I ran last month. So with the addition of hills (Covey was almost completely flat. I am going sub-50 next year... 48?) I guess a one minute addition isn't too terrible.

As the fireworks wrap up here on the west coast, I thought I would share a photographic exploration I did yesterday morning... not as patriotic and exciting as Fourth of July fireworks, but I like them nonetheless.We just so happen to have an insane number of water bottles in our house. Today's water bottle party consisted of Ms. Husky Alumni Purple, Big Blue, and Lil Green Camelback.Blurry....

Alas, the final hours of our time in Hawaii arrived and we used every last second we had on the island.For the first time over the last few days, Dunc woke up before me and spurred me out of bed at 5:45ish so we could go hike Koko Head Crater, or as one blogger calls it "The Stair Master" or "Switchbacks are for Wimps!" Our camera was charging, so we couldn't photograph our own success... but

On the fourth day, instead of just a plain old run around the park, we opted for a run to the entrance of the Diamond Head State Monument and Park (up hill, with backpack) so we could get in on some early morning hiking action. We headed out from the hotel about 6:45 am expecting some cooler weather, but we instead celebrated Sweat Fest 2009. Such an awesome festival.Why did we run to this park?

Wha happened to Day 1? Never fear, Duncan detailed our first hours in O'ahu over on his blog. Read, enjoy, be impressed, be angered, be happy!As for Day 2, we had EVEN MORE adventures. First off, Duncan suggested that we run every morning. Being a fan of all things fitness related, and currently able to run (Hooray!), I agreed. Thus, we ran. And run we did. Here was our loop, which seems a

This is by no means a real post. Well technically it is "real" - meaning that it exists in "reality", buuuut since it is going to be only a few sentences, I deem it UNreal. Booyah. Fake post coming your way!I follow The Pioneer Woman everyday, she is adorable, smart and talented and posts uh-mazing recipes; a few of which I have attempted (see orange rolls and look forward to my next post about

This may come as a surprise to some of you (or NOT! Hahahah, NOT jokes are the best, am I right???) but I like to take pictures of food; specifically food Dunc and I make. I don't know where it came from - maybe Duncan, or the goddess of photography, or the numerous food blogs I follow - but somehow I have become artistically and deliciously inspired by my food adventures.But alas, I do not

You may or may not know this, but I am getting pretty obsessed with my fitness classes - I guess if you've been reading this blog for some time you may have noticed my nerdy obsession with step aerobics and to be honest I have legitimately thought about detailing my High Intensity Training classes on here as well. But I won't bore you with a revolving list of jump squats, plyometric jacks, flying

One of the most amazing things about the Professor is his ability to read minds and track mutants down across the country, or even across the world! Oh wait, that is the wrong professor - I meant the one in my kitchen, who is extraordinarily accomplished at kneading bread with a handy dandy dough hook:(The little piece of dough on there is the only proof I have of using the Professor to make

I say Professor K, because I really didn't have to do much... that crazy prof is magical.After reading Real Food, I have been thinking about baking with coconut oil, which apparently was super popular back in the days before shortening and margarine, so I hunted some down - and now it is DANG expensive. But alas, I will sacrifice a few dollars for deliciousness. I used Whole Foods (I know, weird!

Sooo, this post may be completely unappetizing, but I find it incredibly delicious and Duncan does too! That is, the feature of this post, not the post itself. Pondering the taste of a blog would begin a whole technological existential thought process that I do not want to follow.But I digress... I give you the GREEN MONSTER (discovered here).First off, I needed some ground flax and all I had was

So for some reason, this Easter (April 12th, not Greek Easter) I decided it would be a REALLY good idea if I spent 90 minutes in a 100+ degree room doing intensive Bikram Yoga. And so I did. With a bunch of other crazy girls.My friend Suzie bid and won a private session of Hot Bikram Yoga at the Sweatbox and invited a bunch of her girlfriends to join in. And so we did.I have done yoga in the past

Well lookee here, someone is blogging with only a few days between! I'm improving!!! This blog will be significantly shorter than the last. All I have to discuss is our FABULOUS dinner last night.Our wonderful friend Ashley, and former roommate, rejoined the Ole' Brown family for an impromptu, but totally delicious dindin. None of us were craving anything and the only thing we could think of was

Just in case you all didn't get the memo with my lack of blog-activity, I AM BAD AT THIS. If you are ever curious about the day-to-day goings on at Ole' Brown (the casa where Duncan, Oly, Butters, Anna, Fran and I live), Duncan is much better at keeping up to date. He just blogged about his AMAZING work in the backyard, seriously, huge improvements. Also, he added some photos from our weekend

If you have been following my blog and Duncan's Blog - you may have noticed that I have become an omnivore. I started craving meat about 5 months ago (I think my body starting craving "real" protein when I started weight training), combine my craving with a most excellent book Real Food by Nina Planck, and my fabulous doctor's nutritional supervision, I made the decision to incorporate meat back

So this may or may not be over a week late, but I find it very hard to sit down at a computer anywhere else besides work. But today I have found myself home and in front of our computer. With this special occasion, I thought it was finally time to reveal the most delicious dessert I have EVER made.I recently started following a number of blogs - mostly cooking blogs - like Bakerella, Orangette

Just a short one, but I need to spread the love. The love of what? Of cakes. Specifically, cake wrecks.I never thought I could get such a kick out of cakes, but through some web surfing I came across this blog: http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/The premise of the blog is to mostly feature cakes gone wrong, really wrong. This ranges from gross spelling errors, i.e "Marry Christnos", to grammatical

Oh man, who didn't love Tuesday? I totally spent the most time ever in my life in front of the television, well I wasn't necessarily in front of the television the entire time, but today was perhaps the longest time period our TV has been on continuously. The reason? The Most Bad Ass swearing in of a President EVER. I watched everything from the arrivals, to the official Inauguration, to Barack

Hello Blogging World. I am up and running. Not literally, I am in fact seated and typing - but this brand spankin' new blog IS! Huzzah!I have no plans as to what this blog o' mine will entail, or what it will evolve into. Only that I would like to have one and I, at times, enjoy writing.For today, here are some recent events that made me happy: Slumdog Millionaire Winning BIG at the Golden Globes
