Kara & Michael’s Blog

Michael and I received our Wii Fit on Thursday, but didn’t get to do much other than register ourselves and do a few of the exercises.
Wii Fit comes with a balance board you set on the floor. The board calibrates itself to your weight and based on the weight on the sensors, can tell [...]

While Michael and I are going into the locavore nonsense, I thought I’d bring up etsy.com as a great resource for supporting local artisans and for finding homemade, interesting gifts for loved ones.  I have linked previously to an etsy store run by a young woman in Japan (From Japan With Love’s store), but I’d [...]

Today, after I managed to convince myself it couldn’t be that cold outside of my down comforter (side note: it was colder than that), I weighed myself first thing and then went skipping into the kitchen where Michael was preparing our lunch and snacks for the work day. I have lost exactly 10 pounds from [...]

Yesterday, Michael and I visited the Caribbean Oriental Restaurant for a late lunch after a trip to Ikea. Michael has raved about this place for a while, and every time I’ve gotten off for a federal holiday and tried to take him to lunch there, they were closed. We phoned them yesterday and [...]

In my struggles to find something interesting to do at work, I have mostly found myself perusing wikipedia. One day I killed by looking up every country I didn’t know and reading about it. Today, I was looking through animals on wikipedia, found myself looking at capybaras, remembered they had some at the National Zoo [...]

WoDM’s sister L passed along a link to him, saying that I might like it. While I love the cute little plush objects and the prints and cards and embroidered things, I found myself really digging the blog, for a variety of reasons.
1. She talks a lot about the food she makes. I [...]

K. and I are getting married on September 4th, and this is just to let friends and family know that they can follow along on our wedding page (http://wedding.4d2.dk).
Wish us luck on our deathmarch adventure!
