It was great having yesterday off work, we stayed home most of the day in the rainy and windy weather working on projects, hubby fixed our fence with our neighbor, I cleaned and sorted out the closet and made some other minor repairs I’ve been meaning to get to – so nice. Today was back […]
Starting 2017 for the List
Happy New Year! New Year’s has never been a big holiday to me and I’m not sure why I can’t get excited about it. Being more introverted, going out with huge crowds and drinking too much is not appealing I guess. I’d rather spend the evening playing video games and watching movies at home or having […]
Wrapping up 2016
First I’m kind of addicted to these 2016 memes, can you relate? After trying to avoid the crap storm a negative news and social media. And not successfully doing it, ugh. There were disappointments for everyone this year. I like to see the ups and downs of 2016 as a reminder to focus on the […]
Christmas 2016
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I am thankful to have today off work, much needed after the busy holidays. For most adults, the day after Christmas is more like Christmas – the pressures of the holiday celebrations are over, no more cooking or rich eating, and hopefully a relaxing time to enjoy gifts. I’m […]
Keeping It Stress-Free
Wow on Christmas almost being here. For some reason I was feeling the stress earlier this week which is just silly, I know. But there’s a lot going on with work, projects outside of work, and Christmas planning. That mixed with just being busy in general the last few months and feeling the stress of […]
Winter Running & Leftovers
Winter is a running off-season for me, I can run in freezing temps and I’m even getting better at it and enjoying it more. Still runs are rarely impressive like Sunday’s short 4-mile run in the high 20s, low-30s. I got off to a late start because of the cold and cut it short to make […]
Just Chillin’ for the List
Happy Sunday, can you believe next weekend is Christmas?! December is flying by. Smokey is hanging in there, she likes to park it between me and the keyboard on weekend mornings when I’m in the office. She is not as energetic as she was a few weeks ago, but does not seem to be in […]
Thankful and Comfort Eats
It has been raining hard and windy all day today, Miko is not happy and refuses to even go into the backyard. He just wants to park it by the fireplace. Or bring me his toy for indoor playtime. That doesn’t sound too bad, wish I could have stayed indoors all day today! After this […]
Healthy Eats & Tough Running
December can be a tough month and even tougher this year I think with stress and feelings of blah. Having a crappy run at the gym tonight did not help, it was a bonk since I’m still getting rid of chest cold remnants. But still I’m glad I got it in and I think it helped open […]
Splurging for the List
Happy Sunday – hope everyone is having a great weekend. I’m a little sad it’s almost over. Miko did not enjoy the weekend as much because it rained most of it, not a happy camper about having to go outside in it! I am easing back into running after the CIM Sunday, logging an easy […]
