  • Minnie Mouse, here we come …

    So. Disneyworld. My apologies for not updating this sooner. In fact, Crystal emailed me several weeks ago telling me she just had to know Mia’s response, and I was so grateful for the reminder! I wrote recently about how my niece, Mia, is getting a trip to Disneyworld for her 5th birthday (technically, all the…

  • Laser hair removal update

    So, I blogged a few weeks ago about the beginning of my ventures into laser hair removal. Several people have asked how it’s going, and I don’t have too much to report yet (it’s a slow process) but I’ll tell you how it’s going so far. My first appointment was for brazilian bikini at Elite…

  • Melissa, Oh: Cure for the common headache

  • The stuff they don’t tell you

    Ok, I’m sure that’s not true – runners will talk about anything and everything. But I’ll tell you the unexpected stuff I faced during the Thunder Road Marathon (and training for said marathon.) First, the blood. Yes, blood. Okay, not a lot of blood. But when I got back to the hotel room after the…

  • On running buddies

    Running friends are invaluable. When I first started running, sometimes the only reason I would even get out there would be because it’d be rude to cancel on the friend waiting for me. I knew this about myself so I was constantly begging people to run with me to keep me on track. Somewhere along…
