Ghetto Fabulous Workout Mix

August 23, 2011

I know, I know. That title is a little over the top. Just like me. Still, we’re going with it. If I remember correctly, I mentioned a week or so ago that McDaddy and I would be celebrating our 20th reunion next year. For that reason, and mostly because I was pregnant at our ten year reunion and had [...]

Thursday Thirteen – Smiles

February 10, 2011

I have six or seven drafts ready for Thursday thirteen but each Wednesday when I’m deciding which one to use, none of them seem to grab me. So, today I thought we’d talk about thirteen things that make me smile. 1. When dropping Stevie off at school this morning, the gym teacher commented that he [...]

Engaged In A Fierce Battle

January 12, 2011

Back in 2008, I joined the YMCA near our house and started on a weight-loss journey. My goal was to lose a pound of week for forever as long as it took to get healthy. I stayed with it hot and heavy for 25 weeks. I lost 25 pounds and it felt good knowing that [...]

A Whole Lot Of Nothing

September 9, 2010

It’s one of those mornings where I would welcome genuine adult conversation. McDaddy left on a business trip to Canton, Ohio before I ever even rolled over, Stevie is at school, and Alex is busy playing with McDaddy’s vintage Hot Wheels service center. I am in my big, blue, bloggy chair watching Dr. Phil. Yes, I said, [...]

40 Things Before 40

July 2, 2010

While sitting around the campfire tonight, we talked briefly about the bucket list. I don’t really have a bucket list, but I do spend a fair amount of time thinking of things I would like to do before I um, you know, pass. This isn’t necessarily a bucket list, because? Hello? I’m already 36 and these are [...]

What I Learned This Week [At The Gym]

April 26, 2010

 Yesterday, I was on the elliptical machine at the Y, listening to my iPod, minding my own business. That is, minding my business as much as one can at a gym. The fact is that I don’t really like to talk when I’m gettin’ my grove on at the gym.   For starters, I am typically experiencing [...]

Another Edition of Not Me! Monday

April 25, 2010

It’s Monday and as you know that means another edition of Not Me! Monday. You know, as in the first day of the week, Monday. Laundry day. The day where I admit to doing all kinds of goofy and embarrassing stuff. Not that I ever do anything goofy, or embarrassing. No. Not me.  It wasn’t me who [...]

Thursday Thirteen – Workout Tunes

April 21, 2010

It has begun. Or is it began? The Great Weight Loss Effort of 2010 is underway. On Sunday, I spent the better part of an hour on iTunes purchasing some new workout tunes. Because really what motivates a person to work out more than a good tune. Well, besides the stinkin’ scale of course. But [...]

What I Learned This Week

April 20, 2010

It’s time for another edition of What I Learned This Week, which is always such an easy post for me because my fountain of knowledge will never, ever run dry. There are lessons to be learned at every turn. For that reason, the words just flow. I’m sitting here in my big, blue, bloggy chair [...]

Hook Up With Me!

April 18, 2010

It’s a beautiful Sunday afternoon. McDaddy took Stevie to a Scout activity and my sweet Alex is on the couch giggling at the antics of Tom and Jerry. He spent the last twenty minutes wollerin’ me in my big, blue, bloggy chair. Am I the only one out there that uses the term ‘wollerin’? When that game got [...]
