Happy Wednesday I hope, it’s been a busy, dragging type week here. But we did have a nice Mother’s Day having my mom over for dinner. We chatted on the patio with wine and dogs competing for lap time while hubby prepared a Gardein Holiday Roast with roasted potatoes and brussels sprouts. The roast was […]
Chugging Along
We’re still getting back to normal here after our trip to Florida and playing a bit of catch up. Sweet Miko has been a super lap buddy ready for cuddles or enjoying the spring weather. Sunday I headed to my sister’s house for a little family gathering where her cat wanted all the attention and […]
Stress Challenges & Good Company for the List
There’s a dog in there somewhere. This is how Miko has been spending most of the chilly weekend and Leela has been happy to let us tuck her into layers of blankets. The last few weeks have been tough for me with running. For the first time this year, I’ve been hit hard by allergies […]
Middle of the Week Eats
Whew, it’s been a tough and draggy week here. I’ve been struggling to stay positive lately with so much ugly news, being crazy busy at work, and dealing with allergies and/or possibly a bug this week. But the weekend is getting closer, so there is that! And I’ve got sweet pups and a sweet hubby […]
Sweating It for the Weekend List
Sigh, it’s hot again this weekend. High of 107 degrees yesterday and the pups are feeling it. After our long morning walk before the heat kicked in, they were happy to crash all day in the air conditioning. I pretty much did too after a strange week, I’m still getting back on schedule after camping […]
Getting Serious Heat
I am slogging through this week our heat wave and it’s only Tuesday. My car was reading 112 degrees when I left work yesterday. Fun, right? When we were at Costco Saturday, we found a great deal on a 2-pack of Tekeya 40 oz insulated bottles – less than the retail price of one! And […]
Simple Meal Inspiration
This has been a busy week already and it’s only Tuesday. I haven’t been motivated to get creative in the kitchen yet this week with so much and sticking to keeping things simple and healthy. Like this tofu and cabbage saute with onions and broccoli, seasoned with tamari sauce, fresh grated ginger, and minced garlic. […]
More Pre-Marathon Eats
Okay, maybe now I’m starting to get a little nervous and excited about Sunday’s marathon. I also learned that Scott Jurek will be running it too, how cool is that? I hope I get an opportunity to meet him! Today was my final training run at the gym and it was only 2 miles. It […]
October Needs to Chill
Usually October is one of my favorite months, cooling temps, pumpkins, holidays to look forward to, turning leaves – what’s not to love? But this year we got off to a bad start between scary family health problems, urgent road trips, work stress, missing a half marathon, and blah! I will say that long runs […]
Black Bean Pasta for the Weekend List
Happy Mother’s Day to the mothers out there! Hope it’s a wonderful day. We’re planning a casual family gathering to celebrate today which I’m looking forward to. It’s been a great weekend so far, hubby and I saw Captain America Civil War yesterday and it was good … well, duh. And by some awesome lucky […]
