My oh my! You kids certainly know how to make a girl blush. Thanks so much for all the flattering and totally unsolicited slightly invited compliments about my race – kidding!! 😉 I really enjoyed writing about the emotional side of this race. Often times, it seems like the physical side of racing gets the spotlight, and I thought the mental aspect should take the forefront for a change. For me, this is actually the more difficult part of running long distances, and something I am still working on (as evidenced by yesterday’s struggles). Anyways. After… Read more >

I hereby dedicate this post to everyone who has de-lurked lately. I LOVE hearing from you all, and it makes me so happy to know that you get ideas from my blog. That said, several peeps have been asking for tips on packing lunches. Well, I aim to please, so here’s a post packed with some of my latest eats that I have brought to work. Lord knows, it’s hard to prep for 12 hour shifts, especially when you have no clue when (or IF) you will get breaks to eat. So, I do rely… Read more >

What’s with the latest crazies? Kanye? Serena? Lady Gaga? (Although at least her kind of crazy is not malicious). Medications people, stick to the MD recommended schedule. Froth. Mmmm. I haven’t been noshing on very many blog-worthy eats lately, so here’s a recap of some past products I have tried (some adored). Dessert HUMMUS!?! Yes, friends, yes, I did. The Original Crazy Camel Dessert Hummus has struck gold with this delish treat. In the words of my Brookie boo Y.B. With apples – yum. With Dave’s Killer Bread – yummer. Straight up with a spoon… Read more >

Cha-ching!! Hear that? That’s the sound of the $$ being deposited in my bank account after working a holiday. Time and a half, yes please! (Sadly, I have a feeling the influx of cash flow on my end is probably barely enough to cover the amount oozing out of my better half while he is living it up in Vegas…) I gave the tropical fruit Larabar another shot (but ONLY for you Julie!) and I’m sorry to say, I still wasn’t a fan. Want the proof? I actually threw out the uneaten half. Now, I’m… Read more >

I mean this both literally and figuratively. I was Errands McGee today, and I definitely ate enough to fuel it all. Sheesh. Just you wait…you’ll see! I had a lovely morning with a frothy java and scoop ‘o almonds. YUMMY! Like a five year old, I played with my food a little, too. I’m so mature. I got a little sun this past weekend, huh? Oops!! Fueled on crack caffeine and nuts, I did some running around town and came home and made a BEAST of a breks. Underneath all the granola, almonds, and fresh… Read more >
