7 Miles Solo

August 5, 2010

This evening after work I had some time to kill.  Danny was working late and it was too hot to walk Gracie.  So, I decided to head out on a bike ride.  42 minutes and 7.10 miles later I returned home.  While this is not the farthest that I have done on the bike – […]

Blogging Anniversary

August 4, 2010

So, I realized today that I totally missed the one year anniversary of this blog.  I made this post on August 3rd of last year.  I will be the first to admit that I have kind of half-assed the whole blogging thing.  Some weeks I do well with posting – and then other times, weeks […]

Grillin’ and Chillin’ – Pizza Edition

August 1, 2010

Earlier this week, we had dinner with our friends Carla and Iron Mark.  They were telling us how, while on vacation in the mountains, they had fixed pizza on the grill. This idea intrigued me for a few reasons, but, most notably, because my husband is obsessed with pizza.  Seriously, during one of our first […]

My Confessions

July 24, 2010

Alright, I have a few things that I need to get off my chest: 1.) The main reason that I wake up early enough on the weekends to workout is so that I do not feel guilty about spending half of my Saturday laying in bed chilling out with my dog and being lazy. 2.) […]

Baby’s First Homegrown Tomatoes

July 23, 2010

Yesterday was a big day – I picked the first ripe tomatoes out of my “backyard garden” (again, I use that term very loosely). With the exception of my jalapeno’s, my vegetables have not really flourished this year.  To date I think that I have gotten approximately two tomatoes, two banana peppers, some basil and […]

Back at It

July 18, 2010

This weekend I decided to make an effort to get back into the swing of an exercise routine.  On Saturday we hopped on the bikes for a pretty decent little ride. A little over 8 miles in roughly 50 minutes.  Not too shabby.  My legs were feeling it by the end of the ride (I […]

The Produce Market

July 17, 2010

When Danny and I first got together, we went out to eat ALL THE TIME.  It is no exaggeration to say that at least 5-6 nights a week we were getting dinner out.  Once we started living in sin the experiment in co-habitation, we scaled back some, but, still went out to restaurants about 60% […]

Off My Game

July 16, 2010

It is Friday and I could not be more thrilled that the work week is finally over.  Not sure why, but, I have felt totally off my game this week.  The weather has been very dark and stormy most of the week – which, on the one hand, was good because we desperately needed some […]

Over the Bridge and Through the Woods

July 11, 2010

Neither Danny nor myself are what I would consider to be “morning people.”  Unfortunately, we both get up really early during the week in order to be at work by 7:30AM.  This work week was especially rough because neither one of us slept worth a damn on Monday or Tuesday due to the excessive heat.

Patch Job

July 9, 2010

We once again have air conditioning!  If I hadn’t thought it to have been totally inappropriate, I would have flung my arms around Ken the repairman and given him a hug when he got us up and running.  Unfortunately, it is just a patch job.  We have a leak somewhere in our line, and were […]
