Another year is done. I spent Monday tying up loose ends with report cards and my classroom, Tuesday I was saying goodbye in class to my students and colleagues, and Wednesday found me whooping it up with my students at my house after Gigi had her last day of school. It was a short week … [Read more…]
This weekend has been a weekend for the weightloss warrior in me. We had my friend’s 40th birthday and a couple of Father’s Day celebrations. In addition to just seeing lots of family and friends (we also whooped it up my my parents, brothers and their families on Friday), I had to deal with lots … [Read more…]
One of my oldest and bestest friends turned 40 last week. We celebrated at her house today with a rocking BBQ. Here’s the picture to prove just. How. Rockin’! Actually, she and I are total dorks, still to this day. As the class of 1991 turns 40, it would seem the way to celebrate is … [Read more…]
My son was gone this evening and when we asked, my daughter was up for a night run! I chased these two round the hood after dinner tonight. My muscles hurt all day so I let the weights go for the evening and instead am hunkering down to watch very important things on Netflix. 🙂

Bradley and I went for the BEST run this morning. We went on the giant loop, but instead of turning where I turned last time, we turned on a different street and tried exploring our neighborhood a little to find a different route. It was fun for a few reasons: 1. The spirit of adventure … [Read more…]
Today was a summer test. How will it go if I wait until the evening to run in the summer? The answer? Not good. It will go sloooowww. It will be sweaty. It will make me want to dry heave. It will make me want to run very early in the morning. Good to know. … [Read more…]
Today marks 14 years of the best life I could ever imagine. Here’s to many many more healthy and happy years ahead! My true love marked the day with the prettiest handmade card. He made me a mermaid princess! Love love love him. ***Incidentally, my husband is also the man behind my banner art. It’s … [Read more…]
