Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day, (American) Bloggies!  And Happy Monday to everyone. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.  Mine had a few stressful moments, but is ending on a good note.  The Indy 500 was yesterday, and I was so excited as  I’ve gone every year since I was in the 8th grade.  Even if you’re [...]

The “M” Word and the “P” Word

I had a strong craving for some muffins last weekend and I remembered seeing these Vegan Blueberry Muffins that Erica whipped up awhile back. I LOVED the Vegan Banana Bread I made last fall, so I had high hopes! I don’t know if it’s all vegan baked goods, but the bread and these muffins were [...]

The Very Hungry Holly

I’m currently reading the book “It’s Not About Food,” by Carol Emery Normandi and Laurelee Roark. I will definitely be posting a review about this book as soon as I have time to sit down and compose my thoughts. All I have to say is, I love it and highly recommend it! One issue they bring up [...]

Quiches and Coos

I saw this quiche on Nicole’s blog recently (which she adapted from Erin’s recipe) and tried it out last weekend. Since I obviously love quiche, I knew this would be a winner. (I didn’t have any turkey bacon, but it was still very filling!). And it certainly was a winner – thanks again for the [...]

I Love Paying New Doctors

I thought I should probably give a very long windedquick knee update since I haven’t talked about what’s been going on in awhile.  Short recap of what’s been going on: -          Ran the Indianapolis Half Marathon on May 3, 2009, and started experiencing SLIGHT knee pain about a week or two later. -          In May [...]

Bucket List

Is it really stinkin’Happy Monday, friends!  Hope you all had wonderful, relaxing weekend. :-) So in light of turning the big 3-0 in a couple weeks, I’m putting together a pseudo-Bucket list.  I’d love to try and knock half these off my list in the next 5 years.  There are SO many things I would to [...]

What’s the Dill?

I loved reading your comments on female friendship. It’s comforting to know that we all have/had struggles, and it’s not *quite* as easy as TV/movies make it seem!  Sometimes I feel like there is something wrong with me because I’ve had difficulties in quite a few female friendships, but it seems like a lot of this [...]

On Female Friends

Lately I’ve been feeling kinda ho-hum about some of my friendships.  I always thought as we got older, friendships would get easier. True friends should NOT make you feel badly about yourselves.  If they do and you truly value the friendship, it’s important to let them know how they are making you feel.  They might not intend to make you feel [...]

Kardea Bars and 2 New Things

Thanks for hanging in with me as I know my posting has been a bit sporadic lately!  Just kind of hit a wall with things to write about….hopefully my wheels will start turning again soon.  A couple of weeks ago, I received 4 Kardea Nutrition bars to review. Obviously ya’ll know my love for Larabars, [...]

Your Questions Answered

Some of your questions answered….   If you could live anywhere, where would it be? There are so many beautiful places I’ve been to (and lots more that I’d love to see!), but I would have to say Colorado is where I’d choose to live right now.  It’s absolutely gorgeous, they have the nicest people, [...]
