Today is much improved. Besides the ceaseless rain and the inexplicable intestinal pains and a slight sore throat, I’m doing much better. Thanks for thoughts and prayers. Yesterday afternoon went well too as Kevin was home for much of it. :D Not only did he bring me home a McDonald’s hot fudge sundae (*squeal […]
The One with the Blah
Yesterday was fabulous. Today is…not so much. Yesterday was warm and sunny. Today is chilly and rainy. Yesterday I hung laundry out on the line, dusted & vacuumed, took a long wonderful walk with Amanda and her dog Libby (we’re planning many more lovely walks next week!), and spent the best evening with my husband […]
The One with a LOT
What a wonderful weekend! Friday I spent most of my day basking in the sunlight (and subsequently burning my skin). When Kevin arrived home, I was just pulling the homemade pizza from the oven. We enjoyed our dinner on our breezy back porch for the first time since moving here. How glorious! After that, we […]
The One with the Real Life Musical
Britt sent the link to this youtube video to me and let me tell you, I was impressed. This is so cool and super fun. In just 2 practice sessions, over 200 dancers performed a “spontaneous” rendition of The Sound of Music’s “Do, Re, Mi” in Belgium’s central train station. I’m not gonna lie, I […]
The One with a Crazy Productive Day
For those of you who may be confused by my lingo when I say “crazy productive” I don’t mean crazy, productive day, I mean a very/super productive day. Ok, now that we have that cleared up. I gave my knees a “balistic” break from Jillian (they were getting really really sore) and hopped on […]
The One with the Perfect Burger
What a surprisingly wonderful day! I was planning on Kevin not being home until 6:30pm due to his weekly meeting with his professor, but I had forgotton that Dr. R was out of town. Afterhe left the house around 7am, I did my JM workout, and found out my meeting with Pastor Dale was cancelled, […]
The One with the Enticing
On this–the soggiest of days–I found myself layered in cozy clothing so as to keep the damp chills out. Thankfully, the long underwear and sweats worked wonders and I only remember being cold once today. (Why didn’t I think of this intense layering back in January?!) In other news, I finally remembered to buy new […]
The One with the Healthy Heart
This morning’s “Bake Sale Sunday” went over wonderfully! You may remember the little “poll” I took last week–“Which cookie would you be most excited to see for sale after a church service?”. Well, I put my plan into action [driven by the idea of a fellow church lady] this weekend and boy I was impressed. […]
The One with the Joy
On this, the most beautiful day Michigan has seen in months, Kevin & I were given the privilege of joining some wonderful friends in celebrating the beginning of their married life together. After “sleeping in” (that is, not setting the alarm and still waking up at 7:30am), going for a warm run, making amazing flourless […]
The One with Chewy Cocoa Brownies
And now for the recipe. (If you are at a loss for what recipe I’m referring to, you must first read the previous post.) I believe there are two forms of brownies–cakey or chewy. Personally, I will eat anything with chocolate (that is, I will eat any brownie), though I am a bit partial to […]
