Y’all, I’m running a half marathon NEXT MONTH. Granted, it’s about six weeks away, but this is March. The race is in April. I’m staring to panic. How am I going to run that far? I don’t have an outfit picked out. I don’t have a killer motivational playlist. We haven’t even booked a hotel room. I feel like a woman who went into labor without packing her hospital bag….

Adventures in Tricare
Normally, I do not complain about Tricare. While it isn’t the greatest health care system in the world, it’s certainly not the worst. Growing up a sickly child, I never really had major issues getting medical care. Now that I’m an adult, my experiences have been mixed. Mac isn’t stationed at a post stateside and deployed from there. His unit is stationed overseas (same as if he went to Korea… View Post »

High Five for Friday: birthday edition
Whoot, another Friday. 1. My father and my BFF, Ashley, have the same birthday (that would be tomorrow). Tonight, Ashley and I are celebrating at the Melting Pot.

Any suggestions or ideas for stuff to include? 3. My Netflix account is getting a workout…. View Post »
I really lack squirrel self control
Remember that time I bought two squirrel lamps on a horribly uncontrolled impulse? Well, I maybe, just maybe, bought a pair of squirrel candlesticks. From www.johnathanadler.com They’re Jonathan Adler for Macy’s, and I’ve been stalking them for over two years. At $88 a piece, no one bought them for us as wedding gifts. I was slightly devastated because I didn’t want to drop over $150 on candlesticks. But good things come to those… View Post »
90 seconds: Pure Barre update
90 seconds. One of the Pure Barre warm-ups involves a 90 second forearm plank. It’s a torturous way to start your morning, and the only part of Pure Barre that I dread. Until yesterday, I was only able to plank for 30-40 seconds. Yesterday, I did it. The whole plank. 90 whole seconds (though I’m pretty sure those last 30 seconds were more like 20. Just keeping it honest). Source I’ve been going… View Post »
