You caught me! Today was definitely a two-cup coffee kind of day.   That breakfast did NOT hold me over AT ALL.  It was good, but there was no sticking power.  Granted, my "dinner" last night was pretty lame, so I'm sure that had something to do with it.   I broke into lunch at [...]

Last night I dreamt about The Last Unicorn:   Does anyone else remember that totally awesome yet very sad movie?  Wahhhhh! It made me cry as a kid AND as an adult, too!   10 Minute Strength Routine   I was on the yoga mat within 5 minutes of waking up.  Here's what I did: [...]

I'm really tired.  15 hours of work is exhausting.  Plus, I struggled with my work Internet for an hour this afternoon, only to call the company and find out they had purposefully disconnected my service because I have a virus.  Which I don't.  I hate computers.    OK, onwards and upwards:   Here are my [...]

I've got to make this super speedy because I have a massive project due at work, and I'm so behind (ughhh).   Lunch was delicious: I had a whole wheat English Muffin with melted cheddar cheese plus a side salad (these look like eggs but are NOT - it's just melted cheese). And 1 cup [...]

Good morning!  I woke up to a hearty bowl of banana oatmeal: My oatmeal contained:   1/2 cup of oatmeal 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup  milk 1 banana Toppings: brown sugar and cashews Nothing beats a sprinkle of brown sugar on oatmeal.  Nothing!   10 Minute Strength Routine   One of the things I've decided [...]

After 30 days of not running, I FINALLY got to pound the pavement again.  How did it feel?  Let's just say.... It was SWEATY! It was GLORIOUS! It was FUN! Oh, and it was raining.  :)   I only had to put in about 1.5 hour at my part-time gig tonight, so I was free [...]

I'm posting while eating.  Naughty, naughty!  But, I've got to make this snappy and get back to business.   Before the big "vegetarian discussion," here's what I'm eating for lunch: Boiled corn on the cob (These corn holders have been in our family since I was 5 years old!): Whole wheat English muffin with globs [...]

Thank you SO much for your support on my new schedule.  I woke up feeling a little tired, and it was great to read such kind messages in my inbox.   To answer some follow-up questions:   No, I do not entirely support the Husband while he is in medical school (although I wish I [...]

Today was the first day of my new schedule! And it's going to be a DOOZY!    I'm picking up a part-time job on Mondays - Thursdays from 6 PM to 10 PM and on Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 3 PM.  I'm working as a receptionist/office manager for a local holistic clinic (some of [...]

My friend Bethany photo-messaged me this photo of her cats: Yes.  Those are her three cats.... dressed in sweaters.  They are so scared of the sweaters that they are frozen in place, and she could arrange them on her bed. LOL!   Awesome.  My day just improved exponentially.

Good afternoon!  I am really struggling to stay awake... and unfortunately, today is the day I start a night-time part-time job position.  More on that tomorrow!   But first, let's recap the Running Hiatus.  When I started the Running Hiatus on April 12, I wrote that the purpose of the hiatus was to heal my [...]

Good morning!  I've got my "Where's the Coffee?!?" face on.  We didn't get home from The Players Championship until after midnight... our car broke down in Jacksonsville!  Of all the rotten luck! :(  So I'm running on 5.5 hours of sleep.   However, the tournament itself was very fun.  I stood three feet from Tiger [...]

Morning!  Today, my Husband, our friend Harry, my brother-in-law Nick, and I are going to The Players Championship! I can't wait to see Tiger! The Players Championship is an all-day event and unfortunately, you are not allowed to bring in cameras.  So, I probably won't "see" you again until tomorrow morning.  But if you're watching [...]
