So I’m back… after a hiatus that I really hadn’t intended and included a raging sinus infection, nasty pants stomach flu, a blizzard induced power outage the day after Christmas (with my mother-in-law in our house for a few days) and THAT’S just the interesting stuff. Somewhere after running a 5 mile Turkey Trot on [...]

SH*T STORM Part Doo: The Pre-Holiday Edition
Thanksgiving is coming. My humblest wish is that I don’t hit traffic in travels to my brother’s house (pfft). Perhaps I should have just wished for something simpler… like an easy few days leading up to Thanksgiving.

Falling behind.
At some point in time, when the humidity made me all clammy and rendered the donning of the nearly permanent summer ponytail, I felt like I’d had things under control. A PhD in multi-tasking perhaps. Proud for having kept off the forty-seven pounds I’d lost over the previous year, for having completed two triathlons and, [...]

I envy those people with really high metabolisms and marvel at the anorexic model types because it’s beyond me how anyone could have a contentious relationship with food. (And file people who don’t like chocolate under ‘not [...]

PEEING WITH A STRAP-ON
It’s really way too hot to put anything against your body. I’ve stopped ignoring the humidity percentages and started embracing the fact that by the time I can actually wear my hair down again, I might’ve just forgotten how to brush it. And as I picked Cole up from ‘daycamp’ (aka three hours of time [...]

Grocery Cart as life commentary
Today after being a terribly selfish mother and hitting the gym (using that gym daycare), I decided to drag the two boys to Stew Leonard’s. For those of you not knowing of this suburban legend, Stew Leonard’s (or.. ‘Stew’s’ as we like to call it) is ‘The World’s Largest Dairy Store.’ Right on the gigantic [...]
