I made a tough decision last week.   I dropped it off at Goodwill (along with a candle that I just love and a curling iron that I still can’t use). I have had the same scale since I was in high school.  I was planning on taking it with me. Over the years I’ve [...]

Life is crazy.  We live on a ginormous spinning sphere of matter that rotates with a bunch of other spheres around a massive beyond comprehension inferno of gases.  Then there are caterpillars that turn into butterflies, male seahorses that hatch babies, and anteaters.  Wonderful craziness. Anyway… My life is particularly crazy in the strange way [...]

Boy, do I miss blogging!  I can’t wait to get back to regular writing and reading in a few weeks. It looks like we’ve set a planned date of departure, October 16th.  Two weeks from today!  Craziness! I’m equally nervous and excited. Right now, my life is a whirlwind of trips to the thrift store, [...]

I’ve been in a blogging funk.  It seems that writing 31 days to a Better Body Series took it out of me. Oh and I’m moving into an rv for a year or more in a few weeks.  Downsizing four people into a little 300 square foot home is  a guaranteed recipe for crazy  a [...]

This morning I was scrolling through twitter and saw one of my kettlebell buddies tweet, “911 swings done”. My heart sunk. This evening, I headed to the beach alone with two kettlebells to do 911 swings in honor of those who lost their lives 10 years ago today. In Honor of Heroes Workout – 911 [...]

Intense workouts?  Vintage inspired Tulle clothing?  C.S. Lewis?  Beef heart?  Liver? Yes, yes, yes, yes, and I guess…well..yes. I wasn’t surprised when I found out blogger buddy, Charlotte from The Great Fitness Experiment (who happens to be one of the the funniest and most talented writers I know) and I had “matching organs” in our freezers.  After [...]

I was tight on time trying to make dinner before my takwondo class I was still dizzy from the day before.  (More on that later.) I was feeling irritable and claustrophobic because my house was a mess. I couldn’t find my “recipe book”.  It holds months, maybe years worth, of experimental kitchen recipes and notes. [...]

I didn’t write a “New Year Resolution” post this year.  Instead, I reflected over my last 10 years and the years to come. At the time it was what I needed. But now I need a short term reminder that THE YEAR IS HALF OVER! Can you believe it?  I can’t! So what was it [...]

Life has been unusually busy this past week with the upcoming video shoot. But between rehearsals, catering (Did I mention I’m CRAZY going to try and cook the dinners for the entire cast and crew ahead of time?), shopping for props and wardrobe, training my clients, teaching my classes and taking care of my family [...]

Brent was out of town this week with Thing 1  sleeping on the ground (He he!) at Boy Scout Camp. So it was just Thing 2 and I for most of the week.  Not unlike our road trip in April. Tuesday night, instead of going to taekwondo I decided we should take the night off [...]
