Week in Review: Drinks

You might know by now that I am a huge drink person.  Usually I stick with water, tea, and Spark (trying to “get off” Spark since I now know it has Sucralose), but I gave these newbies a try this week.  It takes very little to excite me….I was pumped to try these out! I [...]

And I Can’t Fight This Craving Anymore….

….have you forgotten what I started fightin’ for?    I’ve mentioned before that I become quite the chocolate or cookies or cake monster right before that time of the month. I didn’t quite make the connection (thanks, Mr. Obvious), but this is the reason last night I was a total sweets whore monster.  I was [...]

She Works Hard For the Money

I have mentioned a time or two before that I have "part-time jobs."  And, yes, I live in fear that when I mention that to someone, they’ll think I work the poles at night. I have always had a part-time job along with a full-time job….ever since I entered the "real world" at the age [...]

My Beloved Tom

My brain is shot. I worked 12 hours today!  That hasn’t happened in…..awhile.  MAJOR props to you who do it regularly. So I’ll keep it shallow tonight.  First of all, I’ll start with what I had for dinner (we ordered in): (Source) That would be my beloved Turkey Tom from Jimmy John’s.  Have you ever [...]

Look at Me Now

(Re: title of this post –> my FAVORITE song right now)  I’m gettin’ paperrrrr    So….let’s see how long I can stretch out my 30 Day Blog Challenge.  Day 27 – 30 Day Blog Challenge (A picture of you last year and now and how you’ve changed since then)   Me last year…. Heeeeey!   [...]

20 Miles

That’s how far I rode yesterday on my road bike! I am so lucky to have a great group of friends from my gym to ride with.  After a little tutorial in the parking lot on some basic riding etiquette and after I fell THREE – yes three – times, we were off!  Honestly, I [...]

Crash Into Me

So….I took my road bike out for its inaugural trip yesterday! Big old helmet….safety first.  Thankfully my friend who sold me the bike also sold me his shoes (which are a tad bit big, but hey, only $25!). I have to admit, I was a bit nervous about clipping in.  I clip in with my [...]

Good News/Bad News

So….I’ve got good news and (unconfirmed) bad news.   The bad news:  I think I might have a stress fracture.  In my calcaneus?  (Does anyone know what this is? I think it’s a SF because it hurts to the touch, although thankfully it’s not to the point where it hurts when I’m walking). The good [...]

Drinks and Drives

Well, we made it (almost) through another week! How many of you enjoyed one of these today? (Source) Or one of these? (Source) Sadly, I was not able to enjoy either of these lovely green beverages.   At least I did have a green beer last Saturday.  Also….I’ve never had a Shamrock Shake, and lately [...]

Oh, the Places I’ve Been

 Day 26 – 30 Day Blog Challenge  A photo of somewhere you’ve been I’ve been pretty fortunate to travel to some beautiful places: California, Colorado, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Mexico, and the Florida Keys. But by far my favorite trip was the vacation my family and I took to Ireland in 2004, to celebrate my [...]
