Hello, hello! You guys often ask me what blogs I read, and, I have to admit, they change quite a bit from month-to-month. Of course, there are some I’ve read for years now that will always have a place in my reader, but, like with most things in life, my interests change and so do [...]

Last night, I got sucked into reading my own blog. You know, the “You May Also Like” images at the bottom of each post? Well, I clicked on one of them and started reading an old post. That post brought up a bunch of different “You May Also Like” posts, so I read another… and [...]

Check out the newest addition to our home! So psyched! [rewind to yesterday morning] Breakfast I slept in a little, so I threw together a quick breakfast of peanut butter and banana slices on a whole wheat wrap before heading out to run. Workout My plan was to run 3 miles from my house to [...]

A few weeks ago, when I was looking for embarrassing photos of Mal for his Super Awesome 30th Birthday Weekend, I stumbled upon my old quote book. In high school, I started it to record my favorite quotations, and I continued to do so for many years. I ended up filling the last page of [...]

Sad news: I decided to end my Summer Run Streak today. I’m bummed, but I need to listen to my body, which isn’t very happy with me right now. Over the weekend, my IT bands started acting up and yesterday my hip started to bother me, so I’m calling it quits with the steak. (Clearly, [...]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MAL!!! [Image by my very talented friend Jon, who meets celebrities like Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul. He actually hung out with them over the weekend. No big deal.] I’m not sure who’s more excited about Mal’s 30th birthday today—him or me! Breakfast This morning, I woke up before Mal’s alarm went [...]

Happy Mother’s Day, moms! My pug child gave me a beautiful plant for Mother’s Day. Isn’t Murphy so sweet? Apparently, he texted my mom the other day to ask her if she would buy him a plant for me for Mother’s Day. Pugs are so thoughtful. After breakfast this morning, I drove out to my mom’s [...]

It’s so nice to be home. I missed my boys. And my bed. And my food. It’s funny how you enjoy those things so much more when you’ve been away from them for a little while. Because I was traveling and away from my computer for most of last week, I had a lot of [...]

Last night, Mal, Murphy, and I enjoyed our first outdoor dinner of the year. Hooray! For some reason, eating outside makes me really happy. Maybe it’s because it reminds me of summer? Or drinking beer? Eating outside (ok, eating in general) also makes Murphy really happy. Did you say CHICKEN!?! On the menu for dinner: barbecue chicken [...]

I planned to do a running interval workout this morning, but yesterday’s CrossFit WOD included plenty of sprinting, so I opted for a 4-mile run instead. I ran on the treadmill at the gym today since I haven’t been using my membership very much lately. While there, I froze my gym membership from the beginning [...]
