Goals or Aspirations or Resolutions
In a quick glance, the three words – goals, aspirations, resolutions – may all look and mean the same to you and to me. This is not the case at all. If you are sitting around trying to figure out what your resolutions for the New Year are going to be, you are probably setting… Continue reading Goals or Aspirations or Resolutions
Homemade Ornaments
Thanks to Heather at Then Heather Said, I joined a homemade ornament swap this year. I absolutely love to make ornaments. I have been letting my crafty self go and ignoring it quite a bit but not this Christmas. I love to make things – especially ornaments – but do realize that making just one… Continue reading Homemade Ornaments
Kenny Rogers
I have to apologize as I have been remiss in actually getting the thoughts out of my head where you all can read them. The holiday season is busy. The mileage is cranky up for my marathon training – 41 this week which I am just not sure how I am going to get it… Continue reading Kenny Rogers
Spice Cookies
The email said “Spruced-Up Spice Cookies.” I have to be honest. I am sort of an instant gratification girl when it comes to baking. I want to make the dough and plop whatever in the oven and have baked goods shortly there after, maybe an hour or so if I am talking breads. I am… Continue reading Spice Cookies

One week ago today, my high school aged son had his first snow day of the school year. We did seem to get a little snow overnight but I think it was more the slowness in getting roads cleared that caused first an announced delay and then closure. The Christmas tree had been sitting in… Continue reading Decorating the Tree
Lunch with Local Social Media Mavens

I’m Not the Environmentalist I Once Was
I say this – I’m not the environmentalist I once was – with great trepidation. Unfortunately, I have to admit this situation to myself because I am reminded of it every day I run on the roads in my area. In the past, I have been known to stack recycling up until it would… Continue reading I’m Not the Environmentalist I Once Was
Runemies, or the Enemies of Runners
Let me start by saying YMMV (your mileage may vary). I run in rural upstate NY where the road is barely wide enough for two cars to pass and there are little or no shoulders. I also want to apologize, in advance, for length. I have written this in several sittings, all while telling myself… Continue reading Runemies, or the Enemies of Runners
