Among the list of my pet peeves…people who park blocking sidewalks. It is actually ILLEGAL in many parts, including where I live, to block a sidewalk. Yet people do it every, single day…over and over again. Here’s the problem, I enjoy bike riding with my kids around our neighborhood. Everyday there is at least one…
I’ve survived Day ONE! This is going to be an interesting game! It’s Salt-N-Pepa vs. That’s What She Said….and it’s truly GAME ON! I think out of all the point areas- I’m going to have the hardest time with food. Water was easy- although I peed, what felt like, every ten minutes! Exercise is great-…
“Almost all of us struggle with our bodies, no matter what our size. The game is not only about getting fit, it’s about getting healthy….” I’ve been exercising, trying to eat right and still haven’t seen many results….it’s annoying and frustrating. But I may have finally found something that sounds like it could work…and it…
There’s not much to say about this new show on ABC. Kelsey Grammer is the same, overbearing character he’s been since “Cheers.” The rest of the cast is lame, the writing is not good and the canned laughter is annoying. I feel like networks are forced to accept Kelsey Grammer because of past success. We…
Kids are at school…I work late tonight…so I took advantage of a quiet morning and went on a great 10 mile bike ride. Today, I kept it simple and hit the bicycle trail. There’s been a bit of a bad bike-accident streak amongst my co-workers, so I wanted to keep it as safe as possible. …
I’ve been singing that Christmas tune all day…not because I’m excited for Christmas…but because it’s the start of the fall television season! YAHOO!!! The official start of the fall TV season is Sept. 25, but many new shows debut right after Labor Day. Now, some of those shows are lame…90210, the new Melrose Place, but…
Sunday School started again today…which is a good thing… It makes me get out of the house, I get time to just go to church and chill, and then it’s straight off to the YMCA, since we’re already half-way there! Today at the Y I did 35 minutes on the elliptical, 20 minutes on the…
The bad news, I’ve been slacking on the blog… The good news, I haven’t been slacking on the exercise! Today I went on a beautiful 7.2 mile bike ride through the wilderness of Orange/Seminole County…basically, the area behind my subdivision…before we yuppies moved in…. Here’s a quick wrap: Time on bike: 58 minutes Distance on…
My name is Jen Cook and it’s been two weeks since I’ve been through a drive-through. Trust me, that is progress! Yes, I miss my Filet-O-Fish, but I’m proud that I’ve been able to step away from it and the oh-so-yummy french fries.
The world has lost a legend today, film director John Hughes. I know it’s silly, I didn’t know the guy, but I felt like I did. He truly touched my life…in so many different ways. John Hughes was born in Lansing, Michigan (ironically, where I went to College!!!) and his family moved to Illinois right…
