Happy Friday evening, everyone!! Tonight I was just about to take a long nap when my mom started cooking chili. Mark Bittman came to the rescue (again) and this chili recipe gave me some energy to stay up a little bit longer. The recipe came from Bittman’s book Kitchen Express which I really like a…… Continue reading Chili
Hi Blog Readers: Remember what I said on Saturday? My goal this week is to get three runs in during the week. Well, today is Tuesday and I’ve already accomplished two of my runs! Now I am just one run away for my Monday – Friday goal 🙂 That’s a pretty good feeling to have…… Continue reading Two runs down, one to go
I have been struggling to find cute and comfortable shoes for AGES. I just do not know why this is so difficult for me. The other day I discovered Tieks on line, and I was so thrilled because I thought I had found the answer to my problems. I ordered a pair and I was…… Continue reading Shoes…
Why hello there, bloggies! I know, it has been a while so I just wanted to check in with you and say hey 🙂 It has been a busy couple of weeks, and I’ve missed checking in with you on a daily basis. But here is a brief recap. This week I brought in a…… Continue reading Checking in…
I find it ironic that I was telling someone earlier today that normally I am creative in the kitchen and that I love to cook, but lately I’ve been in a culinary rut. I really do not like this rut. I am trying to get out of it. But I know why I am in…… Continue reading An Inspired Dinner…

I definitely stayed up a bit later than normal watching PBS’s American Experience because they had a two…… Continue reading Day 1 of 4
Happy Monday, everyone! I hope that a lot of you had the day off. I sort of live for three day weekends. They are like mini-vacations 🙂 I just looked up Hal Higdon’s half marathon training guide to see what I should do the week of a half marathon. Wow – I love taper weeks!…… Continue reading Time To Taper
Ok. I’m just saying, long weekends are the best thing ever. Three days off just makes all the difference to me. I’m lucky that I have a couple of long weekends in a row coming up. So far my weekend is going pretty well. I’ve got to do some housework today. But yesterday I had…… Continue reading I love Long Weekends
Wow, this week is just non-stop. I’m swamped at work, and am trying to get the other things I have going on in my life done, too. This week getting to everything seems to be harder than it normally is – and it is never easy! Oh well, I”m taking it all for what it…… Continue reading Busy, busy bee
