It's funny, each time I move, it seems that I start out poor. I look forward to cohabiting with Ahi in the new apartment. However I am trying to be creative as I look forward to the free or cheap activities we will be able to afford. Here are the things I am looking forward to, in no particular order, except for #1.
1. Adult Activities that are unmentionable in mixed company and previously in polite society
2. Night running, with Ahi either running or cycling next to me
3. Sea World, the monthly payment plan makes the annual pass easier to "afford"
4. Crock Pot dinners, because Ahi is a pro
5. Walking on the beach, it's only a mile from our door
6. Learning how to ride, the beach cruiser since I can't afford a road/tri bike any time soon
7. Learning how to swim, the apartment pool is heated and usually empty even when the area is full
8. Knitting while Ahi watches sports, I have a lot of yarn stashed
9. Two-for-one dining, on special occasions
10. 24-hour Fatness, last year I paid for 3 years up front
11. Reading by the pool
12. Catching up on movies, I just can't seem to cancel my Blockbuster plan
13. Leaving work at a reasonable hour to spend QT w/ Ahi
14. Volunteering for races I can't afford to run
15. Eventually open water swimming, Crystal Bay is 1 block from our door
16. Drinking more juice, Ahi comes with the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer
17. Getting back into classes, it takes a long time when you can only take one class each semester
18. Running Mt. Soledad, Ahi can ride it since it is reputedly one of the best rides in San Diego
19. Snorkeling, I love holding Ahi's hand underwater
20. Visiting friends and family, and hopefully making new friends
21. Free Tuesday at Balboa Park, it would be worth using a vacation day, but Timken is always free
22. Taking Ahi everywhere we haven't had a chance to visit yet, or revisiting places we have
23. Walking down a couple of blocks to watch the Sea World Fireworks
24. Attending free culture wherever we can get it, even, gulp, experimental theater
25. Resurgence of the monthly tea party club???
26. Running more 5Ks since they are more affordable than marathons
27. Day trips to the mountains and the desert, you know, because when you live by the beach...
28. Webcamming the nephews and nieces???
29. Making time for photography, drawing, and other artistic endeavors
30. Watching picture in picture on the couch with Ahi, cooking and sports.
31. Chilling on the balcony, or riding the trainer on the balcony if Ahi gets his way
32. Trying out one new restaurant each month, even if we have to share an entree
33. Learning how to play tennis, the courts are by the pool
34. Playing horse, the courts are by the pool

Christina: Sounds like a plan, you first.
Pete: Not for at least a year. The funny thing is that now I am thinking of all the things I will miss about Washington!!
32. Yumeya - Encinitas
35. Shopping at Viejas
The Carlsbad Outlet is swankier and they have a Crate and Barrel store! And there's Rubio's and Cold Stone Creamery there too. ;)
You never get to see me!
Gotta come see the Lions and Elephants...
