Thirteen Things I Conveniently Forgot When I Signed Up for A Running Clinic, and The After Effects of That Silly Decision
Running requires specific gear, like moisture-wicking shirts, non-chaffing fabrics, and sports bras. Regardless of what people say, these are not luxuries.
Awkward and graceless are two words that seem to describe how I run. This will [...]

OK. Still vibrating from THE CONCERT, so bear with me if this isn’t completely coherent.
Right. First impressions? For 20, 000 people, we were a very well-behaved crowd, even the sloppy beer-drinkers. Second? Good lord those boys can rawk. Seriously – I was in awe from the sound of the opening gong. Third? Fiction Plane is [...]

Love – I’m counting down the hours until THE CONCERT. I talked to someone who went to the fan club show last night, and she said it was amazing how three guys and their gear could command a stage (and a crowd) like that. I. Can’t. Wait.
Love – That I got out this weekend and [...]

Two posts in one day? My, my…
But I had to share these random shinies that caught my eye this week:
Personally I think this isn’t quite what Tourism New Zealand had in mind as their calling card to the world.
Everyone should know how to draw a penguin.
I need one of these for my desk.
I blame Rachel for my [...]

My life is full of good intentions.
For instance, I intended to get all my spring cleaning done in March so that I could start April in a tidier, less cluttered home. Unfortunately the intention didn’t become action, and now, midway through May, I’m feeling a little overwhelmed at the sheer length of the list I [...]

I started this list at the beginning of the month and then got distracted. It happens a lot. For part one, go here.
N is for Nutella, to which I’m hopelessly addicted. Halzelnut and chocolate. Yum!
O is for Owen. Think Clive. (Yes, that gets a ‘Yum!” too).
P is for Photography & Publishing, both areas that fascinate [...]

Opening my email is always a bit of an adventure.
On any given day I’ll see an email from Vitamin V, another from Suzanne at Read-It-First, and if I’m lucky, an update from Carolyne Roehm.
Recently, I had one of those days.
I first fell for Ms. Roehm’s styling ideas when I borrowed a copy of “Presentations, A [...]

My original intention was to do continue the Alphabetical Pleasures List I started last week, but the lovely and talented Christine tagged me for a meme, so that’s what you’ll get instead. Sorry it’s late but my Thursday didn’t quite work out as originally planned.
Here are the rules according to whomever likes to makeup rules [...]

Remember those new sheets I mentioned last week? The ones I fell hard for because of their lovely texture? Since then I’ve found another reason to love them – the squiggles on them remind me of the squiggle used so often in comics as a way to denote crankiness and frustration above a character’s head. So [...]

Love – The wonderful weekend I just spent with my sweetheart. Delightful man decided to surprise me by arranging for us to run away for my birthday.
Love – Knowing that my sweetheart took my email from a few months ago to heart, and used it as the basis of this weekend’s birthday gift.
Love – Coming [...]
