My hunka hunka has been asking for salmon patties. (Excuse me while I contain my nausea) I have these horrific memories of my mom cooking salmon patties. That smell is up there in terrible dinners when she cooked liver and onions, or sauerkraut and weiners. This girl just cannot stomach that odor. AT. ALL. Thankfully …
Today was a hot one. Traditional midwest humid day. I love this weather. I loathe snow and ice. However, it does create a bit of a running issue. Tomorrow is my normal running day, but my schedule will not allow it. I figured I would venture out today, but with caution. Heat and humidity both …
Today is the saddest day of the year... summer solstice. Tells me that winter is on its way. It was mega hot but I knew I could not pass up running today. My running has been a little off lately. But I must run in celebration of heat, sunshine, summer, life. Photo by Jonathan Petersson …
This is my 100th blog. I'm excited. Thank you to my followers and I hope you continue to stay with me. One of my followers/friend/coworker told me yesterday she enjoyed my food blogs the most. I haven't written one in a while, so why not today? I didn't realize pork chops seem to be my …
My running is consistent. I no longer call it wogging so much, as I feel like I'm in my zone again. With any run, I have a method to my madness. I'm obsessed with headbands. I have been since about 2011-2012. I have baby fine hair. It can be annoying. My mom always said it …
This run is from Saturday, but I'm just now sitting to write about it. Being in the midwest means heat and humidity. I've been waiting on this weather impatiently. It takes a while to acclimate to the not-so-fun breathing difficulties and the feeling of heat striking your lungs like a torch, but I sure love …
Hard to believe I've been working from home for many weeks now. It's easy to go stir crazy. However, the secluded me is loving this quarantine. I have a great manager who encourages the work/life balance. I'm doing so much better at turning off at lunch, and at the end of the day. A typical …
While out to my lunch with my Hunka Hunka today, we ran into a good friend of ours. He complimented me on my blogs, which completely delighted me. I'm never sure who reads my crazy thoughts. He talked about how I discuss my running adventures. I know I haven't written in a while. Work has …
First blog of the new year, new decade. I have wasted no time in getting back in motion. Of course as many who have ever dieted or exercise, it doesn't happen overnight, even though we mentally expect that. Weather around here is insane. Temps have been unusually warm with beautiful sunshine. However, this weekend is …
On Sunday I cooked such a tasty meal that I wanted a food blog to be my last blog of this decade: bacon wrapped pork loin with a balsamic glaze and sauteed zucchini, squash, and onions. Tasty goodness. Preheat oven to 375. I'm all about easy clean-up, as I have mentioned many times before...make it …
