I am married. And I don’t always wear my rings. Recent gossip has decided to surround this fact. Before you burn me at the stake, let me explain why. ———————– Almost 5 years into my marriage, and I still don’t quite have this wedding-ring thing down yet. I forget to wear them when I should…

Marathon questions and I hate nature sometimes

What I’ve been doing (since I’ve not been blogging)
I wondered why I spent the first part of the week sleeping (and not blogging) but when I look back on my weekend I really should not wonder at all. I’m not 21 anymore, after all … Thursday night/Friday morning Chris came to town on Thursday evening and he and Jeff and I went for a late dinner…

“You work for a hotel? Hey, hook me up with a discount!”
So the great thing about having my best friend work for a hotel is a hotel discount is never too far away. Unfortunately for her, a lot of other people feel the same way and she’s constantly juggling phone calls from people wanting the hookup. She’s not-so-jokingly referred to herself many times as the “family…

Dogs still inside, WWIII has not happened.
So, a week and a half later and the dogs are still inside and still alive, so all is well on this front … There have been very few issues, actually. One little bathroom mishap the first time I let the dogs in my home office, but I made sure to spray all kinds of…

Swimming, biking, running, sunburn.
Ok, I know I talk about working out waaaay too much on this blog, but this weekend was an extraordinary one so I just have to mention it. The running First I raced a 10K with Kevin, who totally kicked my butt (by 10 minutes) as he probably will with all races in the future.…
