Guys. Last night I raided the iTunes 69 cent store…amazing! I re-discovered lots of golden oldies plus some awesome 90s rap. I also hit up the Top Songs because I am in desperate need of some new (current) music for class. Most of my iTunes library has gotten a lot of love lately and is … Continue reading »
1st Day of Spring!
Finally!! Even though the temperatures are still hovering around the 40 degree mark (wtf??) at least it is sunny and staying lighter later! I attempted my first after-work evening run last night and it was great. The greatest part was how nicely my pink Pro Compression and red Mizunos clashed with one another. #winning… Am … Continue reading »

It’s So Ridiculously Easy That I Can’t Even Call It a Recipe…
I love roasted vegetables. My love affair began with brussels sprouts–they’re delicious, try them–and I haven’t looked back. If I get a funky vegetable at the Farmer’s Market that I don’t know what to do with, it gets roasted. If I don’t know what to have for dinner, I look in the fridge and roast … Continue reading »
What I Read: “On Becoming Fearless” by Arianna Huffington
I have also been terrible at posting my book recaps! Sheesh. (Look for another review coming this week of I Shouldn’t Be Telling You This by Kate White.) I received On Becoming Fearless for Christmas and have been taking my time reading a few chapters here and there. Huffington published the “semi-autobiography” in 2007 and … Continue reading »
Eep! Yes, I’m still alive!
I’ve basically been the worst at doing anything other than work and teaching for the last 10 days. I’ve been a bit of a fail at posting and I’m sorry! My “marathon week” turned into a marathon two weeks but things are mostly back to normal now and I have lots to share…. For starters, … Continue reading »
Weekend Update
Hope ya’ll had a great weekend so far and are enjoying the last few hours of a relaxing Sunday! I try NOT to make this site too me-centric because that would be incredibly boring, but I’m going to start a series called “Weekend Update” to let you know about what’s going on in my life … Continue reading »
What I Drink
Have you ever seen that commercial that’s a stick figure husband and wife…I think it’s for some weight-loss supplement…where she says “I stopped drinking soda and lost 2 lbs., he stopped drinking soda and lost 9 lbs.!” or something like that? Besides being totally misleading and encouraging the mindset that weight loss can be done … Continue reading »
Salted Caramel Energy Bars
This recipe is one of my absolute favorites, but I’ve been hesitant to post it because it’s not mine. Many of my lovely readers have been asking for it, though, so here ya go! These yummy bars are as filling as your store-bought energy bars but are a fraction of the price. You can save … Continue reading »
For the Love of Flats.
I think I can count on one hands the number of times I’ve worn heels so far this year. Sure, it helps that I am taller than the average girl, but I mostly reach for my flats because they’re comfy, protect my feet, and don’t give me blisters or pain that make it hard to … Continue reading »
