Running Day #2 is Always the Worst

April 18, 2010

I have started over running so many times that I can’t count. Yes, I know that just keeping would be the easiest solution, but injuries, moving, babies, boredom all get in the way.

Need me some IRL friends

April 17, 2010

I know it takes me a while to get settled and start to make friends after I move. I’ve definitely made a few momma friends lately, but no one that I feel could be a real buddy! An old running friend pinged me on facebook this week. They want info about moving to Denver, as [...]

July 28, 2009

I’m of the general opinion that I will know when someone owes me money and I’ll chase them until they pay me. But, recently, I got a strange letter in the mail. Some random law firm in California said that I had $2300 in unclaimed wages from my old employer in California from 2000. Stupidly, [...]

I’ve said before that I’m not a great house cleaner. As much as I love Martha, I am incapable of channeling her. But, I do like to PUT AWAY stuff. The floor might be covered in crumbs, but I hate stacks of stuff. Even when they are staring at me and mocking me. Now, I [...]
