March 2013: 259.50 miles on the bike – 135,085 pounds lifted Not too much to say about this month. Overall, I’m happy with my pace and commitment. I’ve been able to bike outside more since the weather has been nicer. I was so sick at the beginning of March that it didn’t get off to…
Up until I met my husband, I never knew what a “Speak Easy” was. I never even heard of it. He, on the other hand, uses that word for all of his user names…even on twitter!! It’s always been his thing. He’s been talking about opening his own forever. Well, someone finally got smart and…
Based on a press release sent to me early this morning, the answer may be yes. Listen, I’m all about the bacon. When cooked properly, it’s the most magical thing ever. Exhibit A– BaconOff. However, the latest bacon-inspired products may be a bit disturbed. I give you…Bacon Condoms. The press release actually says, “Make Your…
I don’t know if it’s the crappy weather outside, but this morning’s bike ride was quite the adventure! It’s nice and overcast, and there were a few sprinkles along the way. But nothing too bad…although the wind is getting pretty fierce out there! I’ve mentioned it before, but the area behind my house is some…
I had to stay at home today with a sick kid. I don’t know how some of you moms do it. It’s 4:30p and I’m still in my pj’s. So I’m waiting for my B to come home from shook on the bus. He normally doesn’t take the bus, but stays for extended day. I…
It’s been quite a year in my house with various illnesses. I would say this is rare. However, there is not one winter/spring time in my life where I don’t remember being healthy. In between my asthma/allergies, October-March really just means sick. Thankfully, none of that has seemed to spread to my family. The worst…
It has been a marathon weekend! Aside from Christmas, St. Patrick’s Day is hands down the family favorite. There are many reasons why we go all out for the holiday. But the main reason is due to my grandparents. My Grandfather went by the nickname “Irish.” It wasn’t until I was about 12 or so…
I hope all my friends have a safe and fabulous St. Patrick’s Day!
**Below is written by 9-year-old Brendan Cook** I went to St.Augustine on my field trip. We got to go the hospital that I hated. It was so disgusting. But I’m not going to talk about it. We went to the Colonial Quarter. Also the fort and a tram ride around the city. When we got…
It sucks getting old…but it’s better with chocolate. That’s deep knowledge I just threw out right there. DEEP. Each year, I just really want to celebrate with friends and drink. It’s not asking a lot really. But trying to get everyone together, without children, is never an easy thing. This year, we did things a…
