I’ll Get Her Next Year!
I got my Mother's Day present early this year. Once again, I blatantly strong-armed my family into running the MDRA Mother's Day 5k with me. ("Fine. I mean, you don't have to do it... Even though it would make me happier than any other gift. I love you so much,...
I’m Not a Team Player, but I’m Working on it.
I am running a 10K this weekend. Given that I awoke to a good three, maybe four inches of fresh snow, again, it is perhaps understandable that I am woefully unprepared for this thing. Hubby bravely kept me company during most of my run this weekend and had to endure...
A Gold Star for You…and One for You… And one for You!
Earlier this week, Little Man and I had a battle of wills of such epic proportion that I can't even recount it here. When the time comes to finally tell the tale, I will simply refer you to the book I shall write, sometime in the future, entitled, "The Reasons I...
I WILL Steal Your Easter Eggs.
It is almost the end of Lent and I can't tell you how happy I am that Easter is this Sunday. As you may recall, I made the pledge to follow a vegan diet for the duration. Let me say this; there has been no end of delicious food to eat the other weekend, for example, I...
Running Away from Winter.
I don't have to tell you folks that this winter is getting long. Yesterday, when I was scraping the accumulated ice off the car in the freezing rain, or later, when I was bent against the head wind, snow assaulting my face, my spirits were understandably low. There...
Honey, I Broke the Kids!
In my defense, I didn't know that snark was a communicable disease. See, our oldest son has been driving Hubby crazy lately, due to his tendency to answer any and all spoken statements with a smart-aleck comeback. Exasperated with the non-stop barrage of...
The Lenten Path to Perfection.
Well, that went over like a lead balloon. As you may know, Lent starts today-- Lent being the preferred holiday season for those of us who like our personal growth both painful and inconvenient. It's the hard scrabble route to self improvement, insisting that through...
Limp like a Jellyfish, baby.
I think I've stumbled across my motto for 2013. The other day I was having a time of it. It was a spill your coffee, forget your lunch, late for work sort of day. Midway through that super annoying morning, my inner voice told me quite clearly to GO LIMP. Go limp....
An Unexpected Role Reversal.
It's good to know that after seventeen years, Hubby and I can still surprise each other. Like the other day when he realized that I have no actual understanding as to the rules of football. I was explaining to Miss Teen Wonder the reason for the "wildcard" game...
Resolution #26- Blog. Blog Like the WIND!
As I think I've mentioned before, New Year's Day is one of my favorite holidays. Actually, it may have nudged Christmas out of the top spot, this year. Christmas has been losing ground steadily now that I'm old and weary and have decided that sitting is my new,...
