Damn You, Pinterest

I finally succumbed to Pinterest; I went to a lovely book club brunch and the hostess made some wonderful tartlets and put the recipe on Pinterest – so what choice did I have? And now I’m becoming an addict. Ugh. But it’s really a good thing. Except for when you make impulse buys based on [...]

Live. Laugh. Love.

Happy (almost) New Year! December was crazy fun, but kinda kicked my ass. Fun of social engagements and other holiday festivities, I had basically zero days to be a vegetable. I am making up for that on Jan 2 – make no doubt about it. I will be in my sweats all day watching football. [...]

Not at Home on the Range

The Shooting Range, that is. My experience with guns (well, weapons in general) is quite limited. When I was but a wee lass, we’d take turns shooting my next door neighbor’s bee bee (bb?) gun at soda cans. I was a good shot, but not sure that I ever found it fun. Then I went [...]

Single Forever?

So, last October I allowed myself to be “open” to the idea of dating – just dating; let’s not get crazy. I’d come to the conclusion that I no longer just wanted a partner so that I wouldn’t feel like a loser when I was home on a Friday night or needed someone to help [...]

Lavender Fields, Frisbee Golf, Lawn Bowling, Wine Party Bus = You’re Jealous.

Last week three friends and I took a wine & painting class where we created “Lavender Fields” that were oh-so-beautiful. It was interesting how half of our foursome had a goal of perfection while the other half were more content to enjoy the social aspect of the artist’s journey. I have to say that I [...]

Double-check your Wolverine

I went to the library today and picked up a book and a movie. I dropped them of at home and off I went to my basketball game (we lost, but I scored a three!). When I got home I took a closer look at my bounty. I thought I was getting this: But instead [...]

Laminated List

So while I do not have a Significant Other, I am (more often than you’d imagine) asked who’d be on my Laminated List. You know, the Freebie Five? The famous hotties that you could have a free pass to hook up with if the opportunity ever arose which it likely never would? I don’t really [...]

Tearjerkers? And a Tearjerker.

Awhile back I had a chat with some girlfriends about the “cleansing cry.” You know, how every once in a while you say, break out a bottle of wine, and throw in a movie that has some kind of trigger that will help you expel the nasty of the last few months? You know you [...]

Just Call Me Jane

I completed my first half marathon today! I will have you note that  I said “completed” – not “ran.” Of the 13.1 miles, I estimate that I ran some where between 9.5-10 miles in a run/walk fashion, with more walking after I hit mile 10. My cousin Amy is super awesome so she agreed to [...]

Ah, July

It seems that I just needed to take the month of June off from blogging. June found me with a ridiculously crazy social calendar (not complaining) and an even busier work schedule. Things haven’t slowed down too much, but work is better so I’m not coming home and avoiding the computer like it’s poisoned – [...]
