10K Tuesday – Almost There & Catching Up!

There’s only 11 days until the 10K!  Yay!  AND I think I found a friend to walk it with me.  I’ve gotten a few 4-5 mile walks in through ourhilly neighborhood during the recent warmer days here. WW Update – I haven’t done a great job of using the online tracker recently.  I think now that I have

10K Tuesday – Green B.E.A.N. Delivery

Blog Challenge Day 12: What do you believe? I started to write a long philosophical post about believing in everything happening for a reason (which drives Andy bananas) or something about questioning what I believe in as far as being Catholic, blah blah blah and then remembered IT’S 10K TUESDAY!  So this is much easier

Things I’ve Been Meaning to Do

Things I’ve been meaning to do: 1. Go through these hand-me-downs a friend brought over last week for Henry.  Or at least move them out of the front living room: 2. Hang this frame that I put together months ago.  I think it’s Charlotte…but maybe it’s Stella.  Nope, just checked the desk.  It’s definitely Charlotte…been meaning to
