[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] ..there’s no actual blood in blood oranges? I juiced six of these little babies by hand Sunday morning and ended up with the perfect amount of fresh, tart juice. The first time I saw a blood orange, I was a nerdy exchange…

Today: My Irish eyes are smiling.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] Tyra Banks would be so proud. The following, brilliant pictures of the Irish countryside were taken by my older brother. I did not ask his permission to use them, but he never asked permission to hold one of my Pyrex containers hostage…

Today: While I’m 29 (and superfine).
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] I was able to cross of most of the items on my “While 28” list, and even surprised myself a bit. I originally hoped to run my first half marathon, and then figured… balls to the wall. Or whatever that expression is. …

Today: One happy camper.
While Nick was speeding across the finish line and I was posing with oversized chipmunks, the world’s most beloved furball was running with the big dogs at camp. I miss the little guy when we’re apart, but I know he’s always in good hands with…

Today: I get by with a little help from my friends.
And my amazing (and fast!) boyfriend. And my incredible family. And the strangers on Twitter who tweeted words of encouragement at 5 AM on race day. And my fellow Team in Training South Boston teammates: Nick (obvi), Amy, Brian, Tina, Mal, Colleen and Ben. And…

Today: I have a good feeling about this.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] I don’t know about you, but I have a feeling 2011 is going to be one for the record books. Or, the comic books at the very least. We ushered out 2010 with our last long run with Team in Training, as…
