22. Run a 5k.

On May 1st - I ran my first ever 5k at the EIF Revlon 5k.  About 30,000 people took part in the charity run/walk which raised money for research, education, and awareness of women's cancers.

J was nice enough to come with me and be my supporter along with these fine people...

Jessica Alba, Dr. Oz, and Jessica Biel.

oh 

Halle Berry.

You know, just some friends.

Me and the ladies!

After an awesome speech by Halle - I set off on my run.  While the temperature and humidity climbed - I stuck through and completed the 5k in a little under 30 minutes - a total win for me.  

Run, run, running!

So proud of myself!

73. Pop my own popcorn.

While spending the weekend in PA a few weeks ago, J's best friend M and I decided to pop our own popcorn.  It was very easy and tasted just as good (of not better!) than microwave popcorn.

We opted for the stove-top and oil method.

After the lid was on - the kernels really started to POP!

The finished product.

With the addition of a little salt and pepper, our snack was complete.  So easy and light!

77. Go on a date with J once a month. (May 2010)

Last week, J and I headed to see The 39 Steps on Broadway for our monthly date day.

I have one word ...

hilarious.

The show consisted of a cast of 4 who played all 150+ characters. The story revolved around a man who witnesses a murder at a theater show and the adventures which follow. The creative use of props, sets, and lighting, truly made this a pleasure to watch. We had never been to a play before on Broadway - and I am so glad we picked this one!

To avoid the rain outside - we had dinner right next to the theater at Mother Burger.  J had a regular burger, I had a veggie one, and we both enjoyed the happy hour specials and HUGE plate of cheese fries. Yum!
