1. I have been jogging for 2.5 months now. Two of my favorites for that activity:
- the “Running Time” on my IPod shuffle (I can program it for 20 minutes, and a little voice tells me when 5 minutes is completed, half the time completed, etc.)
- my wristband from R.E.I. (which is also super helpful for my combi money when I am out and about in town)
2. Tunnel Bear (We have access to U.S., Japan, Britain, Canada, and German TV. That means we can stream Hulu and we have 4 different Netflix options!)
3. avacados (I can buy them year-round. Our bodega one block away ALWAYS has some that are ready for that day. I can eat a whole one with a little salt and pepper and be happy as a lark.)
4. These books for our little boy:
- The Little Blue Truck Series
- Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site
- Push Here
5. These books to read-aloud to my girls: (I loved Roald Dahl as a child.)
6. IPhone-to-IPhone texting (I can text any of my family or friends that have IPhones for FREE! anywhere in the world.)
7. 2 new food finds for me:
- Mamut’s (delicious sandwiches)
- French bakery (another NGO that sells croissants across from our cafe serves a braided pastry with bits of chocolate swirled into it. Soooo yummy!)
8. IPhoto slideshow feature (our executive director showed me this awhile back. If I keep all of my photos organized in events folders, all I have to do is click on the folder, hit the “Play” slideshow button, and it looks like I spent hours on it. It has been great to have when I need something formal to show a principal that is looking at the program.)
