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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Wine Party & Tapering for the List
Just wow on Thanksgiving almost being here! I’ve been invited to a couple of vegan Thanksgiving dinners through local vegan Meetup groups which is awesome, it’s so great knowing there’s a large group of vegans in the area that want to celebrate together. This year we’ll be spending it locally with family, but it will […]
Final Training Run for the List
I survived my final 20-mile training run today and actually have enough energy left to take the dogs for a walk. The poor pups have been a little spooked this week, maybe all the political drama has gotten to them too. I caught up on podcasts during the run which all seemed to be political, […]
Vegan Chef Challenge Eats & the Dreadmill
Wow, another weekend flew by too fast. This was a very challenging week at work, we’ve had a lot of projects, re-organizations, and shakeups lately and training three new hires in our team while it was my boss’s last week and trying to make sure everything is covered before he moves out of state. One […]
More Chef Challenge for the List
It’s been a great weekend, I would just like more of it! Friday night we had another fun dinner for the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge at the Tower Bridge Bistro. Between hubby and I, we shared tomato and artichoke heart Bruschetta, roasted rainbow carrot salad with quinoa, miso and agave marinated tofu with chickpeas, lentils, and […]
Loading Up for the Weekend List
We’re having a relaxing Sunday here, but I think Leela and Miko are missing our house guest last week. And are a little pouty at me for not having a long walk yet today since it’s been raining all day. I’m not complaining, I love the rain and we need more of it! Miko likes […]
Road Trip Disconnect
I am back home and still trying to get caught up and back into a routine after a whirlwind of a road trip with my sister to visit my dad after a health scare in southern California. We left early-ish Thursday to make the 7-hour drive and I did all the driving. We were making pretty […]
Highs and Lows for the Weekend List
It has been a weird roller coaster of a week and I am still feeling a little overwhelmed and recovering from it. So this will be a short, simple, and sweet post of the highs and lows of it. Let’s start with the lows, get the ugly out of the way first. Getting sick. On […]
