Something New

Well... I haven't actively singled out one thing to be my "something new."  That doesn't mean I haven't tried something new, though.  It just means I've been unorganized and loosing my drive to be a gung-ho go-getter.

To solve this problem and make myself feel better, here's a list of every possible thing I can think of that I've done this month that might be a new experience:
  • went to 18 vendors for the Reno Wine Walk after visiting 17 last year
  • watched Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
  • TRIED A NEW THAI RESTAURANT NEAR MY HOUSE!!! (In all-caps because I had an epiphany just now while typing)
  • actually bought the things I wanted at IKEA, instead of just pining after them
  • read a whole book in a 4 hour period (not a new habit, but it was a new book)
  • successfully sailed many a yard in one day earlier this month
  • uhhhhhhhh...........
Well, I suppose that this is probably good enough proof, right?

Bottle brushes, duvet, apron, 2 pillows, 2 pillow covers, the blue bag... IKEA!

As for the Thai place, I tried it because I was in the mood for spicy noodles and had received a recommendation from my boyfriend's mom.  I walked in, looked at the menu, and got super excited because I thought I had found a replacement for a place we love in Reno.  I placed my order and started dreaming of our awesome future because we had finally found an appropriate replacement.  I even imagined travelling to Thailand and told myself that Thai food was my favorite type of food (except it's not, Indian food is my fave!).  Then, once my order was up, I hopped into the car and tried one of the things I had ordered.  My hopes and dreams were completely crushed!  My boyfriend ended up liking the meal, but we are still on the hunt!
