And one more thing... After more than a week off of running since the race, I eagerly got up at 5:30am today and run for 25 minutes. I was thrilled there was daylight. I was thrilled to be back out on the pavement. It was cold, but I didn't care. Up hills three times. Still... Continue Reading →
Just got out of a meeting and I have to wonder - do I work in a TV show? In the room we had Soft talker - you know the ones - voices that barely muster something above a whisper and sometimes fade in and out? Right - and ours was *conducting* the meeting -... Continue Reading →
How insulted should I be if the top two searches that brought people to the blog so far this morning are: Tackiest Christmas Decorations Fish Emerge ...and can someone please explain that second search to me? On second thought...never mind.
As I alluded to in an earlier post, there have been um..."issues" with the plumbing in the ladies rooms in the basement. I use the term "ladies" quite loosely. Toilets left un-flushed, or not completely flushed, toilet paper rolls almost never replaced (seriously, go in there after 3:30 and you will inevitable see two empty... Continue Reading →
Memo to any cats in the house........who think it is a good idea to bring a mouse toy into my bed at 5:00am on a Saturday morning and begin playing.

I passed my latest blood test with flying colors! Cholesterol is down. Triglycerides are way down. I didn't even have to debate with my doctor on medication - she was thrilled with how the Lovaza+diet+exercise seems to have done the trick. Unfortunately for my wallet, the Lovaza is a fairly recent FDA approved pure Omega... Continue Reading →

Because it WILL happen to you too. Sigh….
Still alive. Told ya I wouldn't have time/inspiration to post anything for awhile! My much beloved workout group will be no more after this month. April would have been two years with them. The last year I've been really good about keeping up (especially since I started bringing SB with me) and since Jan we've... Continue Reading →
Since I was not able to see Game 2 yesterday, naturally SportsBoy got the call to start at 2nd base - and he turned two double plays. He had one at bat and lined out to their 2nd baseman (a just reward?). However, 1 at bat in 7 innings tells you that the other team's... Continue Reading →
Riddle me this: You all know I have a need to park in MY SPOT at work. You also know I have a need to walk as many steps as possible each day. MY SPOT is closest to the stairway to my basement office. Which is important given that I am carrying my purse, lunch... Continue Reading →
