Blizzard of 2013

Hi there, everyone! So far I am sort of enjoying the couple of days I have been basically trapped in the house and snowed in. Thankfully I was really prepared with a lot of healthy food – so that really helped a lot. The other thing that has made things manageable is that I did…… Continue reading Blizzard of 2013

Not Bad for a Monday

I was so thankful for a “not so bad” Monday – how about you? Is it bad that at the end of the day on Monday I sort of have an internal celebration that I’ve made it through the first day of the work week? I might be the only person who does that, I…… Continue reading Not Bad for a Monday

A Great Weekend

Hi there blog readers. I had a lovely weekend – I hope you had the same. The weekend was full of cold, New Englandy winter weather, some of my favorite people, a good run and really good food. I could not ask for more. I went out to dinner and frozen yogurt on Friday night…… Continue reading A Great Weekend

Sunday

Well, somehow I survived the five day work week. Everyone around me was coming down with the stomach bug, the flu, or a nasty cold. But somehow I have remained healthy – so far. Yes, I just knocked on wood. I made a big culinary purchase this week – and I almost wonder if it…… Continue reading Sunday

A Five Day Work Week?

This week I have to go to work five whole days in a row. What!? It has been a long while since I had to work a five day work week. My body sort of does not remember what that means. Ugh. Last night, post Downton Abbey, I set my alarm for 5:55 AM. Yuck!…… Continue reading A Five Day Work Week?

Today when my alarm went off at 5:40 in the morning, I felt like I was getting back to the grind of my day to day life. However, I was nicely surprised. I had a pretty awesome commute which was such a nice treat and not at all what I was expecting. I also had…… Continue reading Back to Work

Snow Storm

What are some of the things you like to eat during a snow storm?? I think yesterday afternoon and last night we experienced our last snow storm of 2012. It was a beautiful one, too! Before the snow storm hit, I was able to get to the gym for a 40 minute work out and…… Continue reading Snow Storm

Some days…

… you just come home feeling defeated. Today was one of those days for me. It was only Tuesday and I felt like I had worked a whole week, and I felt like a miserable failure when it come to a work and personal life balance. I could have worked for a couple of more…… Continue reading Some days…

Turkey Meatloaf

How was your Thanksgiving?? I hope everyone had a lovely (shopping free!!!) day! We had a lovely day, and it all started with our annual Thanksgiving 5K and a post race Guinness. (We had three drinks to split between six people because no one could drink a whole one so early on such a long…… Continue reading Turkey Meatloaf

Saturday Morning

I have two favorite times of the week. Saturday morning and Sunday morning. But if I was forced to pick one, I think I would go with Saturday morning because you have almost an entire weekend ahead to look forward to. Right now I am drinking coffee with milk, relaxing and catching up on a…… Continue reading Saturday Morning
