It’s my last week at my current job and the chaos that goes with it is nearly consuming my life. Combine that with Christmas stuff, parties, house stuff, the beginning of marathon training, preparation for starting a NEW job and well…you get the picture. I’m barely sleeping because the old brain just will not shut off. As far as the new job goes,...

“So stop. Try something you’ve never tried. Risk it. Enter a triathlon. Write a letter to the editor. Demand a raise. Call winners at the toughest court. Throw away your television. Bicycle across the United States. Try bobsledding. Try anything. Speak out against the designated hitter. Travel to a country where you don’t speak the...

I know you’re not really supposed to write a post without some definite topic in mind before you start, but alas, I have none and just want to write. I would imagine I’ll chase a few rabbits.

(That is relative, as ALL race photos of me are bad, but these are kind of fun.) Until I get that finished though, I feel the need to tell you about what I gained from the race...

The last few days, despite having a new nephew that is one of the cutest kiddos on the planet, I have been fully ensconsed in my grumpy pants. They’ve fit so well that it’s been hard to take them off. Fortunately, I think I’ve moved on. For all our sakes, Supreme Queen Cranky is put back in her cage. Can’t spend so much time in life being...

In a perfect world I would have all the time to do all things I want to do in my life. I wouldn’t need to work a real job because I’d have plenty of money, of course, and my days would be occupied with volunteering, exercise, reading, and crafts. Doesn’t that sound lovely? Of course in this world I would eat cupcakes all day and never get fat,...
