I know the difference between an excavator, a loader and a backhoe. I can spot a construction vehicle anywhere. I can drum “The Mighty Machines” theme song perfectly. I also know (off by heart) the names and drivers of all the major Monster Trucks. I would cheer with my son as Maximum Destruction would beat … Continue reading
I haven’t blogged in over a month! It’s “scandalous “! Actually it is literally a scandal…. I’ve developed a little Scandal addiction on Netflix. Anytime I’m on my iPad, I’m watching Scandal and not blogging! I’ve been pretty committed to Olivia Pope and Fitz- blowing through 4 seasons in record time. I’ve noticed that about … Continue reading
Have you ever gone somewhere that you’ve never been to before- relying on someone else’s directions? Now I’m talking about really good directions! Not following Google Map or the GPS (mine likes to get me to turn as soon as possible- even if it’s faster to turn later). I’m talking about those really great directions … Continue reading
I was in a big fight yesterday. It was with myself. It was during my run. I’m not sure there was a winner. I sort of fell off my P90X wagon about 2 weeks ago. I was loving P90X! I still love P90X! But sometimes, life gets in the way. It was my birthday on … Continue reading
Sometimes life throws you a curveball- it’s what we do with that ball that makes all the difference. Well, my curveball- I got dumped. There isn’t an Alanis Morristette or Taylor Swift song for this kind of breakup- I just went through a huge friend breakup. I was pretty bummed. I was pretty shocked. And … Continue reading
I have eaten some weird things this year. Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever imagined eating a pudding made with chia seeds and liking it; or lentil tacos; or kale salad; or quinoa patties; and so on and so on. I have tried a lot of new and different food since starting … Continue reading
I love spending time with my husband- honestly he is my best friend BUT I’ve always HATED working out/playing sports with him. It doesn’t matter that I workout more than him and that I’m probably (definitely) in better physical condition than him- but genetics have made it that he is faster, stronger and better at … Continue reading
I have two full time jobs- I’m an elementary teacher AND I’m a full time wife and Mom. Both jobs are pretty busy! I have found that the week days go much smoother if I spend a little time in the kitchen on the weekends precooking some of our weekday lunches and supper. I want … Continue reading
I had the WORST week last week. It was amazing how each day got worse and worse as the week went on all climaxing with Friday night and realizing I had a Urinary Track Infection- cherry on my sundae! Amazing! I learned a valuable lesson last week- it’s tough to write a “Happy Blog” when … Continue reading
I’m making the same resolution as I did last year- I choose happy. My resolution last year was to be happy. Not to find “happiness”. Not to make others happy but to be simply happy myself. I think happiness is a choice. I chose happy this year and honestly it was a really happy year. … Continue reading
