They say life is a rollercoaster. If you know me, you know I absolutely HATE rollercoasters. Motion sickness is horrific. I can't even watch them Today's blog is reaching the highest hill, going downhill, but instead of remaining on the tracks to take a curve, the carts are flying off the tracks and crashing at …
Do you ever get that feeling when someone 'suggests' something you should do, but you are not good at following orders? This was my last week. I've been doing AMAZING in my running. However, my hip pain is back. Push off is severe. Dang it. A week ago, I had to break down and visit …
I love pearls. I always have. My lifelong friend's grandmother gave me a 'fake' pearl necklace on my 16th birthday. I remember it so much. Kind of a funny laugh when I think about it. Miranda's dad was driving us to church. I was sitting behind Doug and his mom, Miranda's grandmother, was sitting next …
It has been forever since I wrote a food blog. I don't cook an awful lot in the summer. At least that can keep me a little skinnier. Winter has me cooking more comfort foods. I hope to break the cycle this winter. 🙂 I am an Aldi's lover. I love the store and pretty …
It has been raining a monsoon lately. Many flash flood downpours. I didn't plan on running today, but when I checked the weather and saw I had enough time to jump outside before more rain, out the door I went. I didn't prepare for running. I wasn't hydrated enough. Typical Midwest weather. It was cloudy …
I'm late on writing this blog, but better late than never. Work has been insanely busy and have no energy to do much else. My mood on Monday was very mixed. Work was nearly too much. In the afternoon I knew I had to take care of another piece of my dad's estate. Anything to …
I woke up crying and still crying...and it's not even noon yet. I decided to jump out for a run before 9 am. Sun was shining and my heart craved that Vitamin D. When I run, I listen to a live country station out of Nashville. Of course, I know it's Father's Day. DJ was …
Tough morning. I was really missing the ones I love. I worked in my garage to fill the void. That was short-lived. I have it just about completely organized. I received an email that paperwork to put my dad's house on the market was ready, but am I? I'm selling it simply "as is". I …
I completed this week running three times. SHOCKING. I have not done this in so long. Today was hot and humid, my favorite weather. I love the sweating out toxins. My favorite former manager reads my blogs. I know she read my last one about what my dad said about smiling. She posted on my …
To say I get 4-5 hours sleep a night is an understatement. My job is global. I am on a project that is trying to kill me. My Type A personality doesn't allow me to sleep much. I cannot turn off my brain and constantly think of what I have to do. I was talking …
