10K Tuesday – Future Cyclist?

So, what do you think…future cyclist or dancer? I’m slowly building up my miles.  I’m still at a 12-minute pace, but up to 2 miles this week.  I also got to spend another hour on the treadmill over the weekend.  I caught up on The Good Wife, The Bachelor and Big Love.  I also watched a

Texting Any Punctuation is an Act of God

Today’s news is filled with Verizon and the iPhone and the fact that Verizon is no longer taking orders for the popular phone and there are many conspiracy theories about the story.  There are gadgets everywhere you look.  And I love gadgets – why else would I have been super-thrilled to get a document scanner

A Week of Crafting

I had the chance to do a few custom orders this week for some ladies at work (super THANKS).  Some special Valentine’s and St. Patrick’s Day headbands along with some small clippies and two very cute Minnie Mouse hair bows.  Stella wanted to try out the Minnie Mouse bow on one of her headbands…guess what

Children’s Museum – This Saturday’s Shout-Out

This afternoon the weather in Cincy was very yuck, so we packed up the kids and headed downtown to the Children’s Museum.  We really enjoy going there – especially during the winter months.  We are fortunate enough to have a family pass.  It’s nice because then there is never any pressure to have a perfect

I am a Comment Whore…

While talking to an acquaintance about my new blog she opened up and told me that she was a comment whore.  I had never heard that terminology before.  I’m sure she thought I looked shocked, but I was just internalizing.  The realization hit me like a ton of bricks…OMG, I’m a whore too!  It was

Listen Carefully

So, I was in the break room at just the perfect moment the other day and planned to share my story here on the blog.  However, my new friend Kim beat me to it on her blog…so I’m sharing the story from her point of view (which basically means I saved time because she already wrote

Whatcha Might Not Know…Starbucks Cups

What is up with the picture below? The cup on the left is how I normally get handed my cup from the barista.  The cup on the right is the only way I will drink it.  Yes, I am so anal that I must make sure the logo on the cup and the logo on the

10K Tuesday

10K Tuesday

This past week was tough for getting on the treadmill.  Andy was in California for 4 days (including the weekend) for work and time was precious.  I really had to convince myself to workout.  I have to say, if I wasn’t registered for a 10K, I would have skipped it.  So here are my weekly

And Then I Pulled Out the Scissors

Last night we had a family dinner at Holy Grail restaurant on the other side of town to celebrate the Baptism of my cousin’s baby…the 16th great-grandchild.  So by “family dinner” I mean 17 adults and 12 kids and not everyone was present.  Andy was still in California on a business trip, so I decided to grab

RABOM – This Saturday’s Shout-Out

My headband and hair bow hobby which was supposed to save me tons of money by making bows instead of buying them has cost me tons of $$ in supplies because of how much I love it!  Andy often says, “You saved a few bucks not buying hair bows already made, BUT we have hundreds

Basketball and Valentine’s Day

I made two hair bows last night for my niece.  She just started basketball and her team colors are black and white.  She also needed a “big-girl” Valentine’s Day bow.
