The blogworld has brought me so many new foods/recipes too! Now what would I do without oats at least 5x a week?
And you've reminded me that I need to get my sushi on soon!
Blogging hiatus? Tell me about it. I contemplated updating this morning for about 5 minutes. Your Wii yoga sesh is amazing! I don't think my friends would be down for yoga on the Wii...maybe if there was drinking involved they may change their mind?!
dude, i think our meet up needs to involve wii yoga...and hummus...and apples to apples...
Welcome back from your hiatus! My conclusions were quite similar to yours, especially involving new foods. I ate many new foods this year that I discovered through all of you foodies! I also realized I need to incorporate more yoga into my life. In fact, I haven't given up on that yet, as I just did 30 minute yoga on Exercise tv!! yeah!
Hellooooooooooooooooooooo and welcome to 2010 - happy new year! I've been on a total breaky too. We had to take an unexpected trip to Philadelphia this weekend so I'm feeling all out of sorts. Sounds like you had one heck of a new years. I told apples to apples- such a fun game. Hooray for fab friends & family, yummy eats, blogging, coffee, working out, and a new year!
Have you tried to make your own sushi?
It looks fun/hard?
I AGREE WITH ALL OF THOSE!
