Here we go! The Ballerina, The Bride, The Dog Father, The Meter Reader and The Photographer. The walk home. The classic post-trick or treat pumpkin dump! I heard from a reliable source that The Candy Fairy was going to pay us a visit tonight in exchange for all but a few select pieces of candy. … Read more
I had the most fabulous run this morning! But this fabulous run actually started yesterday – with an innocent homeschooling Halloween party where Mama went as a Dirty Hippy and Maxine went as a ballerina. I don’t know that this was much of a stretch from how we dress day to day, but whatever. There … Read more
Dark, dark, DARK. The mornings are so dark! Come on daylight savings time – Mama’s ready to set the clocks back! On my bike first thing this morning to ride – in the dark yet again – to the gym to pay my respects to the treadmill. I even dug out my reflective vest to … Read more
I am a vegetarian. I do not miss meat. But I love still burgers. Veggie burgers that is. I heart them. It might be that veggie burgers are merely a vehicle for pickles, piles of lettuce and sliced tomato. Whatever the reason – veggie burgers rock my world. On my 7 mile run today I … Read more
I shed my yoga pants this evening in honor of the ribbon cutting ceremony being held at the library. (There’s no better reason to shed your pants if you ask me.) A new wing was unveiled at the library today! And it was named after me! Just a little “thank you” from the library to … Read more
Brownies last night called for a very simple, cleansing breakfast this morning. Cleansing in both body and refrigerator. Who the hell bought all these damn apples anyway?? Speaking of cleaning, notice that barely in focus disaster of counter top back there? That mess was sponsored by yours truly from deserting the kitchen after birthday brownie dessert … Read more
Packed in today’s magic basket of super snacks? Whole Food Energy Bar from Vega that I was sent last week to review. I liked this one better than the Vibrancy bar actually. I especially liked that at 220 calories, this sucker easily held me over all afternoon while Maxine and I ran errands and Ava … Read more
Today’s work out was my favorite ride-the-bike-to-the-gym, 10 minutes on the elliptical, 10 minutes on the stair climber, 10 minutes on the indoor track doing speed work, ride the long way home and wonder how on earth a 45 minute work out went by so quickly. In honor of Z-Man turning the big 3-2 today, … Read more
We hit up the apple orchard again today after my friend Sharon saw my post from last week. I figured I’d better go before I had a chance to finish our 11 lb bag. Before we left, her girls drank green lemonade and after they were done I was totally jealous that my kids will … Read more
I had a real breakfast crisis on my hands this morning: Empty banana hammock. No milk. Well, I guess that’s not exactly true. There was rice milk that Ava drinks… but umm, in a word – no. Surely I jest – of course this is far from a real breakfast crisis. But I realized I … Read more
