My favorite girl came over tonight! Maddie brought Meghann over, too. :) Kidding, kidding. Meghann is my fav! We made cookies – lots and lots of cookies! We made this recipe for Chocolate Chip, but subbed out the chips for smashed chocolate peanut butter pretzels. Ohmygod – so good. We also made my favorite [...]

One advantage to being married to a British man: TEA! This loose-leaf Earl Grey is so delicious. I don’t know where he got it from (I’m guessing from the shop Mum’s Pantry, which is – amazingly – free!), but it’s so good. I’ve inhaled two cups so far! For lunch, I got creative with [...]
I got sucked into a 2-hour special episode of Private Practice last night (which was soooo good!) and stayed up until well past midnight! I’m regretting it right now. :) But oh, the drama! I couldn’t put down the remote. I ended up having a bowl of granola + yogurt because I got hungry. [...]
I had a very rough afternoon (work-wise). Tremendous writer’s block! But then I called my mom, and we chatted for a bit. She helped me out a lot. :) We’ll see tomorrow. Writer’s block produces things like this: I swear. I also snacked on a bowl of yogurt + granola: And a Present [...]
Isn’t this jogging stroller cute?! Maybe Maggie could sit inside it? Megan and I went to Track Shack to pick up our Half Marathon packets this afternoon. I used to never pick up my packet ahead of time, but I must admit it’s been so much easier to have everything ready instead of running [...]
Good morning! The sky looks so heavy and full. James was sitting outside with me, and he could smell rain. I’m glad I have one smart furchild. :) I woke up around 5:50 AM, which was so lovely. I haven’t been getting up early (like I used to), opting to stay up late and [...]
Evening! First things first: Have you used Grooveshark yet? It’s the best on-demand FREE music station ever. Try it! While jamming to some Snow Patrol, I heated up leftovers: The best way to freeze soup is to put in a big Ziploc bag and freeze it flat. :) It’s so space-efficient! Kath taught me [...]
Good afternoon! :) I just dug into the most scrumptious lunch: I had two blue corn tacos stuffed with kidney beans, cheese, and sprouts. Held in place with shot glasses! :) Plus, Stacy’s chips and salsa. I have a salsa problem. And a Clementine: I can’t even tell you the last time I ate [...]
Hello! :) Sorry that I’m a little late to the party…. I was RUNNING! I was also testing out the ShoeWallet, which I’ll give my full review of at lunch! This morning’s run was kind of unique because I set out to do 6.0 miles and ended up doing 11.25 miles! Around mile 3.0, [...]
Tomorrow is a special day! Ashley is hosting a vegan bake sale for Team In Training (TNT), a charitable organization that raises money for blood cancers such as leukemia. I am running the Disney Marathon through TNT, and it’s a great organization to support! The Bake Sale is auction-style fundraising. I offered to make [...]
One of the coolest things about blogging is that I have a picture journal of my life (well, 90% of it from June 2008 to today). I started to look through my December 2008 archives and uncovered some noteworthy memories: December 5, 2008: I left for my wild and crazy Bachelorette weekend in NYC! [...]
Good afternoon! The Husband and I went on an excellent run this morning. He starts off slow, but he ends up being SO fast! He was bookin’ it by the end, and I struggled to keep up. My legs still feel a little tight from Sunday’s 20 miler. Here are our statistics: Distance: [...]
Searching for that perfect gift? Check out my favorite Holiday Gift ideas! Morning! :) How are you? Since a few of you didn’t believe me/didn’t know what I meant when I said I have a block of frozen credit cards, here is the proof: The theory is that I have to let them [...]
