While getting ready for work the other day, I noticed a huge bruise just below my knee. Me: Hmmm, I wonder how I got that? The Boy: Who knows. You’ve probably been running into stuff all over the house. Me: You’d think I’d remember running into something that could give me that kind of bruise. […]

The Food Journal Experiment
Of all of the somewhat-random things on my 101 List, the item that I most needed to do was Keep a Food Journal for a Week. You see, I’ve been battling the same x-number of pounds for 15 years and, just between you and me, it’s getting a little old. The very frustrating part of […]
The Boy Made Me Laugh
Ok, so this actually happened on Friday but I’m just now finding time to jot it down… Friday morning, we got up with the alarm at 5 a.m., as usual. I headed to the kitchen to make coffee. A few minutes later, I heard a rattling of bags and turned to see The Boy, dressed […]
So I Can’t Keep a Secret
I am the worst at keeping secrets from The Boy. I guess that’s a good thing, right? Husbands and wives aren’t supposed to keep secrets from each other. Unless it’s a gift. Then I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to keep that a secret until the gift is opened. But like I said – I’m the […]
On the Run (Literally!)
April 24, 2010 – Marathon Season (2009-2010) comes to an end for Marathon Man with the running of the 10th anniversary Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon. Cool and cloudy to start (6:30 am) and balmy and sunny to finish (just a few hours later), the conditions could have been better. But OKC fans know how to […]
Hello, Old Friend!
It’s Saturday morning and the sun is shining brightly. What a glorious day!! I hadn’t realized how much I’d missed the sun (on the weekend, in particular), until I threw open the blinds and laid on the floor in a sunny spot – furbaby on each side of me, of course. Earlier this week, the […]
Runner’s Problems
Ben is worthless – completely worthless. I decided to prop my feet up and Ben promptly snuggled next to me – fully body hug against the foot. Shameless. When The Boy started rubbing him with his foot, Ben broke into a loud purr. Disgusting. Anyway, he was acting so cute that I had to take […]
I Feel The Love
Who says that Rainy Days and Mondays always have to get a girl down? It rained all day in Dallas. And it was a Monday in every sense of the word – literally and metaphorically. And while at the orthopedic surgeon’s office, I learned that my Bum Leg is officially Medial Tibia Stress Syndrome. Definitely […]
Marathon Man Does It Again
Yesterday Marathon Man (aka The Boy) and his Best Friend John ran the Cowtown Marathon in Fort Worth, Texas. It was Marathon Man’s second time running this race (out of X number of total marathons) and BFJ’s first-ever marathon (yay!). We were certain Marathon Man would do well. He’d trained all year with a running […]
