  • My parents

    Whitney recently showed off her new tattoo and wrote about how it was inadvertently her dad’s idea, even though he hates tattoos. Of course, as I was reading this very entertaining tale (seriously, check it out), I couldn’t help but think of my own parents and their relationship with my tattoos … You can see…

  • Seeing him after 10 years

    Was cleaning out my drafts folder and found this post, written in November but never published. I need to get on the ball! Here it is, just imagine it’s right around Thanksgiving that you are reading this … It’s impossible to describe what exactly was going through my head as I opened the door to…

  • The time I ran 15 miles in one day …

    Did I mention it was in the mountains? With huge, huge hills? Kevin and Chris are crazy enough to have committed to running the Blue Ridge Relay race next month. Check out their team’s blog here. Basically, here’s the scoop: They are going to run 234.2 miles in a 24-hour period. There are 6 runners…

  • A rock-star weekend

    So, pretty standard weekend for me … (uh, not in the least). I won’t go into all the details since I did so on Twitter in great detail as they were happening (sorry for anyone who did not want to know every second of my nephew’s birth) but my sister had her baby on Friday…

  • On chasing hot, shirtless guys and new bikes and running in the middle of the night

    Busy weekend. I was on deadline this weekend with one of my magazine clients. August is Healthy Kids month, so be sure to pick up your copy of Natural Awakenings if you have kids or if you just want to see my design work! Friday night after working, Jeff and I headed up to Big…

  • ‘She doesn’t even act married’

    I am married. And I don’t always wear my rings. Recent gossip has decided to surround this fact. Before you burn me at the stake, let me explain why. ———————– Almost 5 years into my marriage, and I still don’t quite have this wedding-ring thing down yet. I forget to wear them when I should…

  • What I’ve been doing (since I’ve not been blogging)

    I wondered why I spent the first part of the week sleeping (and not blogging) but when I look back on my weekend I really should not wonder at all. I’m not 21 anymore, after all … Thursday night/Friday morning Chris came to town on Thursday evening and he and Jeff and I went for a late dinner…

  • Dogs in the house Day 1

    Anyone who knows Jeff probably thinks this is either April Fool’s Day or I’ve just completely revolted against his no-dogs-in-the-house policy. Neither of these are true. Seven years ago, when Jeff and I moved in together, we compromised regarding the dogs: I could have them, but they had to live outside. I agreed, as Breanna…

  • I could so do porn right now

    So Amy and Jeff both asked me if I was going to blog about my bikini wax and I won’t other than to say Parvin’s Spa on East Boulevard is, hands down, the best place I’ve ever been for waxing and I will probably never go anywhere else. In describing it to Amy, I told…

  • This post is not about running

    Soooo … as you know, I’ve been running a lot lately. A lot. And I’ve been writing about my running a lot because – well, that’s what’s taking up my time. But one of my loyal readers (Jeff) was kind enough to point out to me that I was blogging “an awful lot” about running…
