• Weekly recap March 14-20

    Oops – should have posted this a few days ago, but it really doesn’t matter at this point. As usual, word of warning: this will probably be super-boring to anyone but me, as it’s just a quick recap of weekly running/training/financial stuff. Read at your own risk. Running: I ran…

  • Super lazy weekend

    Not that my life is particularly busy these days, but it’s been a while since I’ve had a totally relaxing, super lazy weekend. Other than meeting friends for dinner on Friday night, I had no plans and decided to let myself do whatever I want. As it turns out, what…

  • Real Talk

    This here post is a two-parter…I started the first part after a really, really bad run yesterday. I knew from the get-go that it was not going to be a great run. I could barely stuff myself into my running capris and generally felt ‘blah.’ I was super thirsty long…

  • Weekly recap: March 7-13

    I’m pretty sure this post will be as exciting as watching paint dry to everyone but me, but since marathon training is on the horizon and I’m trying to really focus on building a 6-12 month emergency fund, I thought a weekly summary would be helpful to me (either that,…

  • Learning to appreciate where I am in my career

    I’m having a lovely, lazy Saturday so far. In my book, there’s almost nothing greater than sleeping in, waking up slowly in your warm bed, savoring a warm cup of fresh coffee while perusing the internet/catching up on blogs/reading/catching up on all my DVR’d shows and cuddling with kitties (though,…

  • Deep thoughts (AKA, I’ve had 1.5 glasses of wine)

    I’ve used free blogging sites for years, but it just never seemed to stick. I’d get kind of excited about blogging, only to have life take over and I’d stop posting. I never really had any sort of direction and told very few people about my blog…because blogging makes me…

  • Financial Friday

    Thank God it’s Friday! Though, I’m almost too tired to enjoy it. In fact, I actually stayed home from work this morning – I had a lot of flu-like symptoms yesterday: chills, exhaustion, sore throat, sinus issues, sore muscles, etc. I think most of it can be explained by allergies,…

  • Wednesday ramblings

    Now that I’m officially jumping back into running (or should that be running into running? Or should I keep my side notes to myself?) I’m re-learning when to push myself and when to rest. After two back-to-back runs, I decided not to run during my lunch hour (instead I went…

  • Tuesday musings

    I wrote a followup post to yesterday’s first-world-problem temper tantrum…but it spiraled into something I really wasn’t sure I wanted to post…at least not yet (if there is one thing I learned yesterday, it’s that the interwebs truly never forget.) Don’t worry – all is well! (because I’m sure that…

  • It’s my first post and I’m already annoyed

    I’ve been blogging on and off (mostly off) for the last ten years. I always used free sites (blogger, wordpress and live journal and xanga?…back when that was a thing) because I was too broke/cheap to pay for a domain and I really didn’t want to put the time and…
