1. Today I can feel every breath I take and I can’t lift my arms above my shoulders. Pretty sure that means I got a good workout yesterday. I’m really looking forward to class next week. There’s also one of those social deals going on right now for a Core Barre class. I’m debating buying…

TTT: Cello, 10 foods, and crazy ideas
1. Last night was Jones’ winter concert. He started playing the cello this fall, so we got to attend the annual band, orchestra, and chorus concert. The concert was surprisingly good. It was probably helped by the fact that the beginning strings section is not using bows yet and we were spared the sound of…
The world according to Shoo
This weekend has been a rough one. On Friday afternoon, I found out I had strep throat. In fact, the nurse was impressed with just how fast the test turned positive. Under a minute, apparently. It took about 48 hours for my ear to stop hurting when I swallowed and it still hurts to yawn. …
A snake in the shower (and a winner)
No, that’s not some sort of sexual euphemism. That’s how Beer Geek started his day – by finding a snake in the shower. We were all thankful it was him and not me (even though it was apparently quite small.) I would have screamed like a girl and made Jones or Shoo deal with it. …
As ready as we are going to get…
Irene is heading in. For the moment, we have power. Not sure how long that will last. Jones had a bleed at the tonsil removal site this morning, so he and I got to spend a few hours at the hospital. They ended up putting him under and cauterizing the bleeding spots. Nothing like being…
Five random thoughts Friday
I haven’t run since the race last Saturday. I have, however, done some form of exercise each day, including a walk yesterday that had 444 steps. My quads should be ready to go for the hill tomorrow (not). I have been averaging a book a day on my iphone. Unfortunately, the amount I read is…
Zero things Thursday?
Seriously, I feel like I have absolutely nothing to say. Which is somewhat amusing given just how much I have going on in my life right now. My brain should be overflowing with things to say, but I’ve got a case of killer writer’s block. And Shoo hasn’t even said anything too funny lately… I’m…
3 times 3 Thursday: Jobs, illnesses, and beer.
1. I’ve been calling myself a stay at home mom for about 7 years now. But, it occurred to me the other day that I’ve become more of a work at home mom over the last year. I’m currently juggling two occupations and hope to add a third on Friday. I am basically the operations…
16 years and counting!!!
16 years ago, I married my best friend. 16 years later, he’s still my favorite person to drink a beer with. We have a lovely relationship where he drags me places for weird geographical stuff and I drag him places so I can race. Along the way, we drink at every brewpub and brewery that…
Random thoughts on a Friday
I just ran 7.4 miles in my VFFs! Longest run to date. I have a dumb phone and texting is difficult. However, I am currently texting Emz during her 24 mile run. ‘Cause what’s a little texting difficulty compared to 24 hours on a treadmill? I’m thinking the 3 hour time difference will work in…
TTT: Run EMZ, Rainy run, packing
I feel almost like this should be a “One Thing Thursday” because #1 is so important. If you read nothing else, read that and then go donate and give EMZ some support. 1. Tomorrow one of my favorite bloggers, Emz, is running a 24 hour treadmill run to support the Sojourner Center, an organization that…
Camping with the Princess
Jones is a bit, umm, high maintenance. He’s been that way since day 1. I will say we’ve seen improvements every year and he’s way easier than he was when he was little, but he’s still a much more demanding child than Shoo. He also has some sensory issues and can feel microscopic rocks in…
