I've been so restless the last couple days I feel like I need to go run five miles. Unfortunately, I did not get out of bed (although I was awake, I just thought it was a lot earlier than it was) early enough to get to Curves or to go walking/running. I wish that it was either a) still light out when I get home or b) that Curves was open when I ( Read more... )

As I was driving in my car this morning, looking at the beautiful changing leaves on the trees, I couldn't help but think about how people are much like the trees in autumn. The trees are all changing colors, some much quicker than others, and they all have their own shade of yellow, orange, red, brown and/ or green. They are each unique, but they ( Read more... )

It is a very strange feeling to have half your face numb (I've just come from the dentist). If you ever try to curl your lip, like Elvis, when it's numb it does not work. Smiling with a numb lip doesn't work well either, people give you all kinds of funny looks.

One day I'll have a job where I actually get holidays off...even these little ones... or at least get paid time + a half for working them...

I just wanted to let everyone know that I made my first Apple Crisp of the season today. It was quite tasty, if I do say so myself, but it was a little pastier than usual so I'll have to work on that. If any of you want to come visit I will happily make you an apple crisp... but you must come visit since apple crisp does not ship well ( Read more... )

With these being the last days of summer (I think tomorrow is the official first day of fall), it is time to think about apple crisp....  perhaps this Sunday (if I don't have to work) will be the first apple crisp of the season.   I oughta pop on over to Holmberg's Orchard today and see if I can get a bag of drops....  or maybe I should wait until ( Read more... )

The half-marathon was amazing.  Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are gorgeous!!!  It did not start raining until mile 6 (but then didn't let up until later that afternoon). Despite the hills, the rain, and staying with Mom for the first 5 (she then found a woman at her pace to walk with) I still averaged 15 minutes per mile.  It was wonderful.  ( Read more... )
