25 Years of Christmases. I’ve learned a few things;) We are a pretty progressive couple. We both work, we both do housework, he does most of the cooking, I’m better at paying the bills . . in other words, we’re normal. Our division of labor has been negotiated and we’ve worked hard to ensure that […]
MY FAVORITE BLING! Why I Love The Jewelry of Distance Racing
Once again today, I’m linking up with Tuesdays on The Run! You have to go check it out and read all the other great bloggers as they share on THEIR favorite bling. There’s lots of sparkle shine there, Friends! So I have friends who just about run ONLY for the bling, and although I wouldn’t […]
Thoughts From Life’s Waiting Room
What do you think of when you hear the word “please wait”? It is positive? Like a happy pause in an otherwise hectic day to just sit quietly and reflect? Or are you like me, and when you hear those words, be it on an automated phone line, at the window at the Social Security […]
