Why I’ve Been Skipping the Gym

April 19, 2012

Confession. I haven’t been to the gym in almost two weeks. Wait, what? (every time I hear that now, I think of this) Yup. And I feel fantastic. Hailey and I have a pretty good little system down right now, where she’s going down predictably for a morning nap around 9:00. As soon as she [...]

What We Ate on the Budget

April 18, 2012

Breakfast started out pretty normally yesterday for me. Peanut butter and banana on toast. Hailey ate some banana. David left before me at about 5:45 and accidently left his bagel broiling behind him. He called to tell me about it so it didn’t burn the place down. I was really determined to eat it because [...]

Oh, you guys, I’m exhausted. David is too because he was locked in a car with me and had to listen to me for 4 hours straight go on and on and on about how upset I was about how some people interpreted the EBT challenge post. I’ve reread my words wondering if there was [...]

April 13, 2012

The other day I got into a conversation abut food stamps, or more specifically, EBT. Ok, how many people just got on the edge of their seat ready to get fired up about their stand on government funded programs? I’m not going to get all political, but to sum things up, I feel that government [...]

The bad. The better. The best.

April 12, 2012

The bad. I’m bummed. Two days from now is Racefest, the 10k I’ve been training for. Unfortunately, I’m not going to be able to run (OK, wog) it because of some last minute work stuff with David. Instead, we’ll be gone and my little registration will be left in the dust. (Can you transfer registrations? [...]

I Want to Own a Farm

April 10, 2012

Whew, what a whirlwind it’s been. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Grandpa K’s service was beautiful.

The silver lining to such occasions is that [...]
