This post is going to be a little bit of this and that, including a winner for my #runBlueRidge contest. I took out all the chit chat in the comments of my giveaway and counted up the comments. I then put the number in a random number generator and got number 13 as the winner.… Continue reading Monday Coffee
Where, oh where, did I go? Absolutely nowhere. When I started this post, it was all about photographing the inaugural Hambletonian Marathon and Good Time Trotters Relay. Then, I found out I could share via Flickr and moved that post to this other method. So now, where did I go? I went grocery shopping. The… Continue reading Where Did I Go?
My Ragnar Relay team received Giovanni Rana pasta free of charge, as a sponsor of our team. I did not take part in the preparation but did take part in the eating of the pasta. All opinions are my own. Almost two weeks ago, I had the great fortune to go to a pasta dinner… Continue reading Giovanni Rana Pasta – a Product Review
A while back I wrote about starting to use MyFitnessPal.com. I have an update for you and here it comes. I love the ability to put my recipes – that I have no idea how many calories are contained – into their system.

I need to start cracking down to get to some of my goals by the end of the year as these months are going by so quickly. Top that… Continue reading Monthly Goal Check-in
I meant to get this reveal posted this morning but a sudden announcement by child number 6 that he is going to start community college here locally in what amounts to about three weeks through my morning into a tizzy. There will be information about what Foodie Penpals are nearer the end of the post,… Continue reading Foodie Pen Pal Reveal
A while back I won a giveaway from Happy, Fit Mama on her blog. She had tested these wonderful energy bars and was giving away 2 sets of six of them. Never having heard of Garuka Bars before, I read what she had to say about this product and its taste and decided entering the… Continue reading @GarukaBars Review
I can remember saying, more than once, how green everything was when I was down in Roanoke for the Blue Ridge Mountain. Good reason! They are a bit further south than I am sitting up here in Upstate NY. I have always loved when the earth greens up. We’ve had quite a bit of rain… Continue reading Green, Green and More Green
