  • Perception is NOT reality

    My daughter has been sick going on 3 days now — fever, chills, hallucinations. Those are the freakiest things to watch her experience. She sees and feels thing and has this wild look in her eyes. And of course she yells at me during them for not helping her. Moms sometimes can’t win — Today…

  • Happy New Year – 2012

    What can I say about last year — it was a great year for me. I met some of the most inspiring, supportive people and had more fun than I have had in years.  I made major progress in my fitness training, got my CrossFit Level 1 certification,  spent time with family and friends, got…

  • Breaking Dawn

    Good day today. Slept in, had some laughs with the family and then headed out to meet my pal Holly and see Breaking Dawn. Yes, I admit I am  Twilight fan. I don’t hide it — i love it. It’s a very crazy story but there is something about the bond that was created in…

Nineteen chains — including Burger King, Denny’s, IHOP, Chili’s, Friendly’s, Chevy’s and El Pollo Loco — have agreed to participate in the Kids Live Well initiative as worries increase about the role of fast food in childhood obesity. French fries, slathered…

  • Happy Birthday U.S.A.

    I made my fruit trifle for the holiday occasion and once again it was a hit!  Although it does have angel food cake in it —  you can easily make it with just the pudding and fruit and it will be just as good — We headed over to our dear friends – Jim  & Holly’s –…

  • CrossFit and Community

    We met Kelly again today at CrossFit. She is one of those mean ladies that are considered benchmarks. I woke up with a sore throat and tired and should have listened to my body more but I love the challenge of doing these benchmarks — so I went. It was tougher than I expected. I…
