It appears I may have communicated with a bit more negativism in my previous post than I intended… The pain made me do it! The pain made me do it! I had so much fun. So stinkin’ much! My 2 favorite memories: 1) Discovering at the half-way point we had maintained a skintight-less-than-10-minute-mile average up [...]

Half-Marathon, All-Done
So… I did it. And I was not alone… over 10,000 others were there too. Most importantly, Katie & E were with me – all 3 of us in our matching hot pink shirts. We even hat matching pink hats! Where should I begin? Should I start at 4 a.m. when my alarm went off? [...]

Hostess Snack Cake Sushi

Like Good Chocolate
Clean makes me happy. It is almost as exciting as chocolate. I’m not kidding. Just as a really good piece of chocolate (dark) sets me twirling and smiling and humming a happy food tune – I am learning having things clean and organized puts me in a similar mood. I noticed, the other day, after [...]

But of course…
On November 1st – the day AFTER Halloween… I found the belt for Olivia’s costume and the pumkin carving tools. Of course…
