New Year’s Eve Prep

We’re prepping for a big New Year’s Eve party at Sarah’s house!  We all woke up slowly, and then cooked up a breakfast buffet.   I had eggs with spinach and fruit: We always get manicures when together, so Sarah, Sculley, and I trekked to the salon to get our nails done.  I tend to [...]

A Nice Morning

I’m having one of those days that just seem extra-nice for no apparent reason.  I think I just feel extra-appreciative today.  2010 is almost over and I’m a little sad to see the year go.    Plus, my Vibrams came in the mail!  The Husband got me them for Christmas but I have to send [...]

Breakfast for James

I was craving French toast this morning (Autumn Grilled Banana Sandwich, anyone?), but James asked for yogurt. After his near-death experience in October 2009, the vet told us that we should feed him organic yogurt (preferably plain) whenever his tummy is upset.  Organic has more probiotic cultures than regular!  So, I had to eat yogurt [...]

Boo!)   Thinking of post titles is so hard sometimes!  I couldn’t think of a winning title so you’re stuck with My Very Own Motivator, which actually beat out:   Green Room, Green Food A Random Day Lights, Camera, Sunflower Buttah I Have a House [...]

My Real Review of Black Swan

I am so sick of staring at this: However, while I was on the road, I had a chance to write My Real Review of Black Swan. I’ll admit it – I only gave you a short review of the movie on Sunday, and it deserves more.  Here is my analysis of Black Swan (don’t [...]

An Athletic Rut

Good morning!  Today is travel-back-to-Charlotte day, and I hear it snowed while we were gone!  Hope it isn’t all melted.   We woke up slowly, and then I munched on a leftover dinner roll and contemplated a run. It took forever but I finally motivated myself to lace up my shoes and go for a [...]
