Hurray, hurray!  I am so excited!  Although it’s going to be weird not seeing Gregoire, Rossi, Reichert and Burner ads on tv…
I am also super busy as usual.  I am going to try a recipe from a Devin Alexander book tonight, and I’m continuing to add more running into my days.
I really don’t have much [...]

Oh, Self.

I know that this is old news, but seriously?  Why on EARTH did Self magazine put Gwyneth Paltrow’s trainer with her “lift no weights larger than 3 pounds” program in its recent issue?  Three pound weights are great if you’ve never worked out before, but they’re going to become too easy over time. Frankly, I’d [...]

Undisclosed location

I went to a restaurant, the name of which I will not disclose, and had the tastiest cider ever. Outside the restaurant, it was just a bit chilly, the leaves were bright yellow and red, and it just seemed so appropriate to be drinking cider.  I could get behind daily cider-drinking.

I’m a girl who wishes she didn’t need to sleep, but desperately needs to get at least 7 hours a night (9 is better).  I know this.  I know how I feel when I don’t get enough sleep, and it is ugly.

Dear bloglines, do you realize that class is boring?  Why can’t I read everyone’s latest entries this morning? Please, please, please LOAD THE PAGE. Grr.
This isn’t a healthy new obsession, but I am trying to reverse engineer my new favorite cookie.  What I know: it has cream cheese frosting with almond extract in it.  The [...]

Pink ribbons

A few of my friends (in a few different cities) did various breast cancer walks this weekend.  I am so proud of them for being involved!  My family just lost a dear friend who had survived breast cancer twice.  It turned up again, but this time in a different form.  She lived twenty years after [...]

GREAT workout!

I went a free workout hosted by lululemon this morning. We worked out in the middle of a mall.  They did not tell us that we needed mats, but I managed to do okay. It was a TOUGH workout, led by Traci Barnum of Fly Fitness.  Part of the draw was the promise of breakfast, [...]
