Which end is up?
I feel too frazzled to blog. So much has happened over the past few weeks that I don’t even know where to begin! So, what I’m going to do today is be lame and tell you what I plan to write about. This will organize and un-frazzle me. = My first triathlon race report. Yep,…

That’s what you get for wakin up in Vegas …
Perhaps it’s better to show, not tell, why I haven’t blogged the past couple of weeks … Jeff and I were in Vegas for a conference for Jeff, and my friend Anil came up for a night. He comes to Vegas often, and when he tried to check into Mandalay Bay, they told him there…

Kids and dogs
I saw this photo on this blog that I read occasionally: And it reminded me of this photo of Cai and Sadie (nephew and niece) that I took with my phone (so apologies for quality) last week when they were visiting: It’s life’s little moments, that’s for sure.

My head has a mind of its own
Going to take a few days for a blog hiatus. Dealing with a few overwhelming things right now – my brain won’t quite shut off of that to focus on this. And if you think I’m talking about you, you’re probably wrong. In the interim, though, I leave you with something positive: A photo of my…

You are a bad influence on me
Yesterday I posted this on both Twitter and Facebook: And it’s true – it’s something I’ve been thinking about wanting for a long time – but of course, it’s a huge decision to make – bigger than any other tattoo decision I’ve made thus far (see my other tattoos here). And every time I see…

What’s in your beach bag?
Some of my summer favorites, thus far: Neutrogena Ultimate Sport sunscreen: My friend Brian suggested I get this when I complained on Facebook that the Coppertone I was using was really heavy and greasy. He was right – I love this new stuff. It’s so light and sheer I almost forget I’m wearing it. But no sunburn! Apple…

What is a best friend?
Apparently today is National Best Friends Day. It comes at a time in my life in which friendship and the very meaning of it has been something I’ve questioned. So, what is a best friend? Being a little bit of a grammar stickler, I have trouble with those who claim to have multiple best friends. Don’t…

How to make Starbucks have negative calories
This post is not just about exercising. This post is about how amazing my friends and family are and how exercising plays a big role in that. Case in point: Wednesday I rode my bike to TrySports (7 miles) for the group ride, only to have it rained out. Instead of calling it a day, Scott…

My first group ride that wasn’t
So, Scott invited me to go on a group ride at TrySports last night. I’d been a little scared to try these – I’m still pretty slow and even keeping up with their slow group could possibly be a challenge. But after the Ride of Silence I was pretty excited about getting to that point…

The only thing missing is turndown service
Have I mentioned I’m an impatient person? No, my house is not even on the market yet. Yes, I know this is not a good seller’s market. But that hasn’t stopped me from thinking about what I want next – and wishing I had it now. The problem with looking at houses and townhomes is…
