So I finally realized last week what’s been missing from my Friday long runs: seeing other runners. I see old ladies out walking their dogs, children on their way to school and drivers on their way to work (who think it’s okay to make right hand turns directly in front of me as I’m stepping […]
Winner, Winner, PROBARs for Dinner!
Actually, more like PROBARs for lunch, but that doesn’t rhyme. Okay. So remember when I won the RLAM giveaway and I was all excited about getting a box of HALO bars and a box of the PROBAR meal replacement bars? Well, the HALO bars arrived on my doorstop unaccompanied and I thought maybe I was […]
Vacation, All I Ever Wanted
IronHubs and I took the kiddos on a mini vacation for the last few days. We were only about three hours from home, so it wasn’t exotic or anything, but it sure was nice to get away. Vacations are sort of like Christmas decorations for me: the only thing I like better than going on […]
Big Girl Pants and Ho-Hos
First, thank you all for coming to my pity party the other day. I know they’re not much fun to attend, but everyone throws them once in awhile, right?? I really appreciate all of your kind thoughts! I’m all done feeling sorry for myself now and I’ve made a final decision about Sunday’s race: I’m […]
Easter Bunny Intervals
When you consider the lengths that IronHubs and I go through to spoil our kids on their birthdays (we built a maze in the backyard!) and other holidays, you’d think we were neglected as kids. We weren’t. We’re just crazy. Case in point: today’s Easter egg hunt involved a bike ride to various locations within […]
Deep Thoughts from the Shallow End of the Pool
I mentioned before that it’s been many, many years since I’ve belonged to a gym, but I don’t think I told you that I’ve never (as in never, EVER) been in a gym lap pool before. In fact, I can probably count the number of times I’ve ever been in a public pool in my […]
Shick-wuh!
IronHubs and I have been married for almost 15 years, but sometimes he’s still a complete mystery to me. This morning, we got up at the crack of night to go swim, hoping to beat the crowds of holiday gym-goers. No luck, by the way, as we ended up sharing a lane because the others […]
Five Things Friday
Number One: I’m so completely out of touch with bloggyville this week! In spite of the existence of four computers in our house, I haven’t been able to spend any quality time with the screen in days. Oh, I’ve been on the computer, but it’s been non-stop homework “helping” for the last three days in […]
Stylish? Not Really.
She had style, she had flair, she was there…that’s how she became..The Bloggy! Nope, I’m definitely not Nanny material, but I was honored with the Stylish Blogger Award by the oh-so awesome Rose and one of my favorite bloggers Sophia, and every time I started thinking about what to post, that theme song would pop […]
MissZippy, I’m gunning for ya!
Um, yeah, not really. But Miss Zippy (I’m not even going to ask if you read her, because of course you do) had a fun post today about how she’s doing so much swimming lately that she’s gonna take Michael Phelps down this year. Well, I’ve been doing so much swimming this week that I’m […]
