I am totally workin' for the weekends right now.  Except my upcoming weekend is so jam-packed that it's not going to be very relaxing..... but it will be fun (minus Saturday)!   Tonight:  Our friend Harry is coming over to watch the opening game of the world series (Go Phillies!) Thursday Night:  Meghann and I [...]

Good evening! I must admit that I was in a very sour mood around 6:30.  I went to the gym intending to do 45 minutes of cross training, but after 1 minute on the elliptical, I knew I was going to have to leave.  My right knee seriously felt like it was being put through [...]

I've always found it so curious how the manner in which our food is served can seriously impact how satisfying it is.   Key factors to a satisfying meal (in my opinion):    Tiny bites vs. a single mass of food Voluminous food vs. dense food   By tiny bites vs. a single mass of food, [...]

Future Husband is taking a VERY important exam today at acupuncture school.  If he passes, he'll get to personally treat patients at clinical, instead of just assisting other doctors.  It's a difficult test.... so GOOD LUCK, Future Husband!   I woke up a little early so I could make him a hearty breakfast.  We both [...]

Good evening! My first day of WATER RUNNING was so much fun!   I thought the concept of water running would be easier to explain via VIDEO, so here's your first look at me in motion (Oh, the video cut off the beginning, but all you missed was, "Hey guys! It's Caitlin!"): Sorry if it's [...]

I am very disappointed because Obama and Biden are in Orlando today, and I can't go to the rally!  Doors open at 3 PM and the rally starts at 6 PM.  I considered asking my boss if I could leave work early.... but with these impending deadlines, it's just not a wise career move! If [...]

MORNING! Let's all get it out of our system-- "BOOO MONDAY!" :) I have a sneaking suspicion this week is going to be hellish for me, as I've got to get not ONE but TWO major documents to print under a very, very tight budget.    Whenever I know a rough week is coming up, [...]

After my morning post, I took a nap that lasted for THREE HOURS.  I woke up confused and disorientated! Clearly, I needed the rest, so it was a good thing.   When I woke up, I discovered that Future Hubby had cleaned the entire house!  Not only did he clean, but he CLEANED TO MY [...]

Good morning! Last night was a little TOO much fun, if you know what I mean! ;)   We played a few college-style drinking games before we left.  I lost and, as a result, had to "glue" my chin on the coffee table for 10 minutes!! It was pretty amusing, actually. Then we headed to [...]

Hello, hello! I am so excited because Future Husband, his brother Nick, our friends Joe and Harry, Meghann, and I are all going out tonight! Orlando has a great club/bar scene, and I haven't dressed up and cut loose in SO long!   We are celebrating Harry and Nick's birthdays, which are next week.  Happy [...]

Good afternoon! I hope you're having as pleasant as a Saturday afternoon as I am. Currently, I'm sitting out on our patio with Future Husband.  We're listening to classical music while he studies for his biggest acupuncture test yet, and I'm working on our holistic supplement website. Since we went to the gym so early, [...]

Good morning! I feel much better after yesterday's disastrous doctor's appointment.  I've come up with a pretty good game plan, which includes:   Sticking to my 10k Advanced Training Plan, but subbing out at least one of the run days with water running or another form of cross training (I'll post the refined 10K Plan [...]

For the details of tonight's post, I defer to Meghann's blog -- after all, she made my whole dinner!   I started off with Crunchy Lentil Cheese Bites.... I had about three.  They were delicious and veryyyy crunchy! And for the main entree, I had a portion of Santa Fe Spaghetti Squash Casserole... which... was... [...]
