Whenever I meet a blogger in person, the first thing that gets acknowledged is just how short I am. Apparently the Internet makes me appear taller. Warning: Objects on Internet appear larger than in real life. I’m 5’2″ and have what my friends and family call a Napoleon complex. I am a loud and heavy [...]
I’m sure you have heard of Couch to 5k. It’s a program to help you go from not running at all to running a 5k. I don’t know many details but it involves a combination of running and walking and I’m pretty sure there’s a decent time frame attached to it. I’ve decided to create [...]
So remember how I mentioned on Monday that I was going to be running the Bolder Boulder? My very first race that is only three weeks away? And it’s a 10k? I registered for it yesterday. There’s no going back now. The $50 has been sent in, the tshirt is on it’s way and this [...]
This past Friday I turned thirty. As in, I’m no longer a twenty-something. I’m no longer a twenty-something blogger. Did you know that I was like member 43? True story. I really am old! Everyone has been asking me how it feels to be thirty. Honestly? It feels fantastic. It’s true, turning thirty has caused [...]
When I was growing up, playtime involved my brother and I being shoved out the door and told to go play outside. We’d spend hours in the woods, making forts and getting dirty. We didn’t watch that much TV and we didn’t have any video gaming systems at our house. It was always a treat [...]
I had forgotten just how wonderful having weekends off were. I also forgot how quickly they fly by! It’s Sunday night and I just had a fabulous weekend, filled with good food, good music, lots of sun and good friends. And I do not want it to end. Then again, who does? My weekend sort [...]
You know all those freak outs I’ve been having? Oh, yes, you know the ones. It seems all I’ve been doing lately is freaking out. Well…I’m letting them go. Sometimes I have a hard time with that concept of letting go. Specifically: letting go of control. I tend to want to control every little detail [...]
Over the past couple weeks my nomadic urges were coming on strong. There were a couple days where I was ready to pack everything up into my little Rav-4 and just go. Some of the time I had no destination even in mind, just me, the horizon and a stretch of pavement. But the majority [...]
So I’ve survived two weeks at my new job and I couldn’t be happier. I know my last post was all about how not happy I was but then 70+ degree weather happened and I started getting in a great mood. Sometimes, I like to contradict myself. I’m not complaining, I like being happy . [...]
I have seriously fallen off the blogging wagon. I’m not just talking about this week or this month. I’m talking about the past YEAR. I constantly struggle with trying to write something–not because I feel like I have to (which I sort of, kind of do), but because I do actually want to, I just [...]
