Friday is almost here, woohoo! It’s been a wacky week month two months. Sunday I drove to a nearby hilly trail for a change of scenery for a long run and the weather was perfect. I only saw one snake and it wasn’t a rattlesnake. And the rest of the scenery was gorgeous with blue skies […]
Packing for the Weekend List
Good morning and happy Sunday! It’s been a busy, but productive weekend here so far. We spent a couple of hours sterilizing the house and catching up on chores after a busy week and poor hubby being sick. But feels great to have that under control and I have a huge load in the garage […]
Colorful Weekend List
This weekend has been so great that I’m not ready to go back to work tomorrow. It’s been relaxing and productive. After a week of solid rain, the weed and grass growth in the yard has been insane. Literally one day, nothing, next day 3-foot-tall spiky weed is there! It was nice getting the front […]
2016 Shamrock’n Half Marathon
It’s nice, sunny, dry, and in the 70s here today. But it wasn’t Sunday for the 2016 Shamrock’n Half Marathon! My sister and I drove to Raley Field together very early in the dark, cold, wind, and rain to meet friends and our shoes got drenched just dashing through the flooded parking lot. Somehow, even with the […]
Simple Eats Lately
Rain, rain, and more rain here lately. That’s a good thing, California needs it! But things tend to get a little cranky after many wet and gray days. We got a beautiful break in the rain Sunday morning, perfect for a 10-mile run. A little windy and the clouds were starting to build for the next […]
Rain for the Weekend List
Rain, we’re finally getting tons of it here! Along with strong, crazy winds yesterday which the dogs were not thrilled about for their backyard trips. I’ve got to get them out for a long walk and myself out for a long run before it starts again today! This week has been draining and I did not […]
Hospital Eating
Thank goodness Friday is almost here, it’s been a week! I left work early yesterday to spend time with a family member during a cardiac event in the ER and ended up staying there for many hours until they were settled into a room for the night. Luckily the hospital had decent WIFI and I was able […]
Logging Miles for the Weekend List
Miko has been doing a lot of his favorite thing all week – snuggling in his couch blanket. Such a rough life! I’m on a 2 week countdown until the next half marathon and last week’s training run went really well. But I’ve been feeling a little tired, sore, and sluggish this week and hoping […]
Feeling Spring for the Weekend List
Smokey seems to think she runs the house, don’t all cats? Poor Miko was just trying to have a nap snuggled in his favorite couch blanket. When Smokey decides it’s her bed now. Thankfully Miko is a good sport about it and willing to share. It’s been an interesting week here, for a short work […]
Dr. Michael Greger & Quinoa Leftovers
I miss the long weekend, it was fabulous. We had a lovely Valentine’s day with roses, sweet cards, and gifts. I got hubby books, a new game, nice watch, and this insane limited edition signed Blair’s 2am Reserve extract hot sauce since he’s into hot sauces. I like spicy too, but that’s too insane for me! He […]
