I have a confession to make. I only attended one year of college. I started working full time when I was 18 years old and have been at it pretty much ever since with a short hiatus when our boys were babies. During which time, by the way, I worked the hardest I’ve ever worked […]
Tuesday this and That on Wednesday
I am completely exhausted today and for good reason – I didn’t lock the back door last night when we went to bed and the wind blew the door open and set the alarm off. For a moment I debated if I should wait and let the cops come in case someone actually HAD broken […]
Tuesday This and That – Treadmill Review, Ash Wednesday and Lent (weird, right?)
So nothing too exciting to report this week. Well, that’s not entirely true. We had a new member of our family delivered on Friday and she’s fitting in great! Ladies and Gents – I would like to introduce you to our new treadmill, Captain Janeway! She’s a Horizon T303 and so far she’s a dream. […]
A Few Thoughts On Longevity in Marriage on our 24th Wedding Anniversary
Today is our 24th wedding anniversary. 2/10/90 I was 19. He was 23. What were we thinking? Twenty. Four.Years. It’s a long time. A lifetime for some of you reading this, in fact. And in that time I’ve learned A LOT. Here’s a partial list, and yes it’s bugging me that there are only 6 […]
Review of The Altra Zero Drop Intuition
I haven’t done a product review in forever and it’s definitely time! If you’ve been reading for awhile you know I don’t take money or even free product in exchange for my reviews. I just don’t. So let’s start with that. I have been a minimalist runner for almost five years. When I started out […]
Tuesday This and That!
Well, maybe this WILL become a regular thing since this is week 2:). Let’s see, since we gathered here last Tuesday, a lot has happened. I WAS STRICKEN WITH THE BLACK PLAGUE (ok, it was just the flu but seriously thought I was going to die). I took TWO sick days from work. I have […]
I’m Not A Good Patient
So yesterday I felt great. Actually really great. I even said to my son on the way home from school “I feel really good! Do you ever just feel really good?” I believe in writing we refer to that as foreshadowing . . . I will spare you the details, but my evening progressed strangely […]
a This and That Post
I’ve decided from time to time to post just quick updates and musings from my ridiculous life and all it’s different aspects and excitement. And it’s Tuesday so maybe we’ll always do that on Tuesday. Or maybe not. I don’t like being fenced in. So yeah, here’s the first and maybe last installment of Running […]
The Great Healthy Living Project 2014
Me and My Groom, February 10th, 1990 Yes, that is a ridiculously bold name. But I thought “The First Installment On My Journey to Look Better in a Swimsuit for my 25th Wedding Anniversary Trip*” was a little long and obnoxious so I went with something simpler;). I’m not actually sure if I’ll loose any […]
