  • Saturdays in Suburbia

    Some of you may remember that I was scheduled for the Bluemont Vineyard 5k today. Well – Scott had to go to NYC yesterday for business and will not be home until this afternoon – so I had to bow out of it. I was bummed until yesterday when I realized that Thursday’s Plumbline workout…

  • And she’s back!

  • Here’s to getting back at it
