Turn that frown upside down

I’m not what you would call a “positive person”.
It’s been well documented that I complain a lot.  And I argue with my kids a lot.  And I yell a lot. And that, in general, I’m a glass-half-empty kind of girl.
For Pete’s sake, I even named one of my categories “Parenting Woes“.
And yet, I harp on [...]

Fitness Friday

Things around here are pretty status quo.  The 5k is 2 weeks from tomorrow, but I still haven’t been able to put my hands on a course map  yet.  That makes me a little bit nervous.  I’d like to have a chance to drive the course before race day, just so I know what to [...]

Summer was in the in-betweens

Yesterday was the last day of summer vacation.  I’m not entirely sure where it went, but it flew right by.
I had grand plans.  There were free movies to be seen!  We could go bowling during the day! There would be daily trips to the park!  In the rare case of boredom, I had a coffee [...]

Randomy Stuff

Did you know that Refried Beans are Pinto Beans.  I didn’t and a bit of a fool of myself at the mexican restaurant.
We went to a baseball game today and saw a Grand Slam, no less than 3 double plays, and 2 amazing catches.  It was a good game.
