Three day weekends are fabulous, it’s like we get two Saturday nights. And I’ve been utilizing the long weekend to relax and spend time with hubby and our pets after such a busy week. I guess I didn’t realize how busy last week was because it was nice to disconnect for a couple of days […]
New Shoes & Orange Sherbet
Long weekends are the best, so nice not having to prepare for the work week on a Sunday night. I played in the kitchen instead and it was wonderful. I’ve also been braking in new running shoes this weekend – Asics GEL-Kinetic 4s. The problem with running more miles is I literally kill running shoes […]
So Long 2011
Hard to believe 2011 is gone, seems like I was just wrapping up 2010. My plans today were pretty laid back – 4-mile run, start the not-so-fun task of putting away the Christmas decorations, and an early movie and dinner with hubby before welcoming the new year at home watching movies, playing games, and relaxing […]

Better late than never on a gift guide, right? Below is a list of goodies I’ve been enjoying this year that maybe a tricky friend of family member can enjoy too. Kiva Gift Card – Kiva is a non-profit organization that offers micro-loans to people around the world to start a business. Recipients of a […]
Kale & A New Cutting Board
I had an upsetting vegan experience at work yesterday. For the last 2 months, we’ve been working in overdrive at work for a new project start up and the department responsible threw an appreciation luncheon for everyone that worked hard on it. I knew Chinese food was going to be served, so I didn’t worry […]
Chill Weekend
I can’t believe it’s Sunday night already, do I really have to go to work tomorrow? My relaxing weekend flew by too fast as usual, I could use some more down time since I’m still recovering from this cold. I ventured out for a run this morning planning a 6-miler to taper down from last […]
Simple Squash Saute
Happy Friday! And it seemed to take forever to get here, didn’t it? I only had a cold for 3 days of this week, but it felt like an eternity. A running nose and throbbing head pain makes long days seem many times longer. The most frustrating part of having a cold was not being […]
Finished Another Half!
Woohoo, I not only survived my half-marathon, but PR’d! Okay, it was only by 2 minutes from my last half marathon, but I’ll take it after the last few months! I wasn’t thrilled getting up at 5 AM this morning and heading out in the cold and dark, but I’m so glad I did. And […]
Running Around
How did Monday get here so fast? Time flies when I’m running around like a mad woman checking off my task list. At least someone had a relaxed weekend. Shadow’s favorite toy in the world are cheap little catnip puff balls and I wish I could be so entertained with a $0.25 toy! He pent […]
Tomato Curry Stir Fry
Sunday already, where did this weekend go? It was a long day for me that started with a 5-mile run this morning since I’m officially training for another half-marathon in October – woohoo! But it was a tough run thanks to strong winds and just being a little tired from the stress of the week […]
