So I relegated them to a closet in the basement where I keep off-season stuff. Kind of an unused clothing purgatory. I suspect after enough time [Read More]
Holiday Hangover Randoms
I ran a dozen miles on Easter Sunday, fueled by PB m&ms and jelly beans. Not having the Garmin makes me want to take walk breaks. No bueno.

Confession Wednesday
It’s that time again! Here we go: 1. Our 12th wedding anniversary is this weekend. The Caveman will be in NYC on business (can you believe the nerve?). So that means I’m stalking hyper-attuned to the delivery trucks as they come and go. A little something from Tiffany perhaps? Or Fortunoff? Coach? Athleta, Lucy, Title Nine, [Read More]
Confession Wednesday
Baby it’s dark outsideI took this pic just after 7am. Seriously it’s almost pitch black. I know my East Coast peeps have it even worse. I can do dark all summer and freezing all winter but dark + cold = hit the mill in my book….or make and eat my weight in soup, chili and [Read More]
