from the heART: number 45

When someone tells you that there is ladies night for paint balling, the only question that needs to be asked is, when are we going?

I was not at all sure what to expect from this adventure. My only reference for paint balling came from what I'd seen in the movies, which goes one of two ways, super scary and intense like in Failure to Launch, or totally fun and non threatening like in Ten Things I Hate About You. I would say our experience fell somewhere in the middle. 

Sure I was unaware what the heck I was doing during the first round and didn't even fire a single shot. But with that, there was only room for improvement and no looking back. Turned out to be a blast, a feeling I'm sure not shared by our entire group. But would I do it again? Another easy answer, OH HECK YES!!

from the heART: it's pie time

Number 42: make a homemade pie from scratch

The inspiration for my 101 list came from my older sister who made a list and she made a list because my sister in law made a list. As our lists would have it, some of our items happened to be the same, including making a pie from scratch. So I was delighted when my sister in law wanted to complete this one together. 

I am going to honest and not at all humble for a moment and make the bold statement that our pie turned out awesome and tasted even better. However, to bring me back down now, I will follow that with, I had no idea just how easy pie baking actually is. This realization made me question why this was the first time I have attempted pie baking and wonder why I haven't been making pies for years. Lesson quickly learned: bake more pies!
