Morning, bloggies!  Not only did I managed to go to bed by 9:30, but I also wrote a whole page of creative non-fiction!  Yipppeee!   However, I woke up with a killer headache.  I pretty much attacked the coffee pot because caffeine always makes my headaches go away.  On Monday, I had four (FOUR!!) cups [...]

Job Titles and Lunch Breaks

Dessert for Me & for the Dogs

Ohmygosh -- dinner was so nice!   But first.... a mid-afternoon latte that Huz made in the espresso machine.  Work was very productive today!  It was probably the multiple servings of caffeine (this was my THIRD coffee). Cross-Training   The gym was very quick... and yet strangely relaxing.  It was a great workout for a [...]

Black Bean and Red Lentil Pita

Morning!  It's Monday.... again.  I had such a good weekend, and I'm really disappointed its the work week again.  My workload is insane right now!   Breakfast was super easy---with no messy clean-up! Last time I made waffles, I made two extra and put them in the freezer.  It was so nice to just pop [...]

A Long Run and a Day of Play

Good afternoon!  We have had a very full day so far, and the Superbowl hasn't even begun! :)   Immediately after my breakfast digested, I set out of a 11.0 mile run.  After three weeks of my half marathon training schedule, I am pleased to announce that (1) I'm starting to actually look forward to [...]

Here We Go, Steelers!

Morning!  I'm pretty excited the Steelers are in the Superbowl this year!  As you might know, I went to University of Pittsburgh for college and lived there for 5 years -- that means I was there when the Steelers won in 2006!   I wanted to share some pictures from Superbowl 2006 because it was [...]
