what has gotten into me this week??? i have been under the weather, swamped at work, and stressed out beyond recognition. the only thing keeping me from going LOCO on someone at work is this little puppy right here… a grande skinny cinnamon dolce latte… ahh yes! the joys of starbucks in the morning, fighting over […]

this is the song that should describe how i am feeling during the holidays right now… yes, so  much to do, and there is never enough time {do i sound like jessie from saved by the bell??? BTW- that is my favorite episode of all time}. back to the matter at hand, i still have […]

Today is the day! I have finally finished my Christmas cards and they are being mailed this afternoon… such a relief! I thought I was more on top of this task, but at least I am getting them out sooner rather than later. This is the first year {in quite a few might I add} that I […]

back to one of my favorite topics…  l  o  v  e. have you been lucky enough to find ‘the one’? going down the complicated road of life, i sometimes questioned whether or not i would find the person who would complete me, i wondered if i was worthy enough to have those butterflies in my stomach, but […]

Whoever said being sick was fun had serious issues… I took off work yesterday afternoon to recuperate at home {I’ve got both an ear infection and messed-up sinuses} and I am still not feeling like myself. I have come to a few conclusions: 1. My body is extremely exhausted and I need to get rested–I […]

Indeed it is!! As cliche as it sounds, this weekend was everything I hoped it would be AND more… my best friends were in town and I got to have some much-needed quality time with the people I love most. Friday night we had everyone over for food, fun, and wine… we only made it […]

am i a complete lunatic or am i just a person with extremely high goals?? either way, i have ventured into the deep unknown of training for a 13.1 mile run {1/2 marathon} and i am uber overwhelmed with the resources, books, training tips, websites, and blogs that are out there. i knew running was […]

Happy Friday!!! I am anxiously counting down the hours until my best friends will be in town, gathering at my house for our girl’s Christmas weekend… and boy, what a weekend we have planned. Tonight, we’re doing the ultimate girly slumber party! we’re getting dressed up in our pajamas {yes this what I am secretly most excited […]

Let me step up on my soapbox for a moment here… I am going to vent and to anyone I offend, I hereby apologize in advance. Timeline of events: early in the hours of last Friday, Tiger Woods wrecked his SUV right next to his home–next day, police determined it wasn’t because of alcohol or drugs–then […]

with all this training going on for the 1/2 marathon (this week i have already ran 6 miles!), it seems that i need some extreme motivation… (1) training in the winter wasn’t the brightest idea on my part because the frigid cold is making it quite impossible to make it to the gym as frequently […]
