I was at a wedding on the 19th, actually in the buffet line at the reception, when it dawned on me. I had not eaten any meat since Wednesday night’s dinner. This was definitely not intentional up to that point. I did, though, intentionally eat only the veggie lasagna as an entrée that night. Truthfully, I had… Continue reading Do You Eat Meat?
A friend told several of us that she was nursing her child for the last time and it was a bittersweet feeling. Strangely, I remember the feeling and my “baby” is 15 years old. My thoughts did not necessarily turn to the last time I nursed that baby but more to the twins. With the… Continue reading The Last Time
With a quick nod to Momalom.com and to Bad Mommy Moments, I wanted to post photos from Friday’s Happy Hour at Chapter House in Ithaca. I frequently head over to this bar on Fridays to hang out with friends and meet new people. I will say that yesterday the bar area was seriously packed when… Continue reading Friday Fun
I am not a short distance runner. I just about mile two or so am getting into a groove. I like the longer distances. I love my seven or eight mile training runs. I do not particularly like a 5K race. I have, though – as of last night, run three of them. My first… Continue reading Red Dress Race – A 5K Recap
I just ran my fifth race this year. While I never imagined I would be a racer, or a runner for that matter, I am and I love it. What I dislike is all the people who decide which rules to follow while racing. I am not above questioning rules. I have never been a… Continue reading Are You A Rule Follower?
I have to say that I am absolutely amazed at the number of people who ran this race yesterday. I was told that generally the Vestal XX has about 150 people who run it. This year was its 40th running, making it the oldest road race in Broome County. To celebrate, Kathrine Switzer came back… Continue reading Vestal XX – Race Recap

Everyone says you should buy organic. While I think a lot of organic foods are good, I say you should buy local before worrying about organic. A lot of local foods are organic also. Then, I hear the argument that people on tight budgets cannot afford organic produce. I do understand this issue. Trust me! … Continue reading Organic or Not?
Do you have a favorite peanut butter? I have to be honest and say that at points in my life PB was not a priority. I would just buy whatever was cheapest. I no longer think this way. Now, I look for more in my PB. The other day I was wondering the aisles at… Continue reading Peanut Butter Preference?
Today is June 14th. In my current household, that means that my youngest has a Spanish final this afternoon and doesn’t have to be in to school until then. My 19 year old has his first day of work after completing a 40 hour training course last week. Busy day! In the past, when the… Continue reading Flag Day
