Books: None as usual. But I do have a new mag. subscription (surprise) that was too good to pass up. I hadn’t read Oxygen in eons but it’s back and better than before. Even though I have less than zero interest in ever becoming a figure competitor, there’s a ton on clean eating and great [Read More]
Fun and Frenetic Friday Five
This week I’m linking up with Cyn, Courtney and Mar’s Friday Five. Here we go: 1. I’m single parenting this weekend so I guess any Father’s Day festivities for the Caveman (beyond sneaking a card in his luggage) will have to wait. 2. Shortly the girl chicks and I will be road tripping out of state for [Read More]
Hump Day Randoms and a Winner
Ice Shows. Ice show weekend is in the books for another year. They were exhausting and spectacular at the same time. The girls did amazing. Thing 1 is at the age where she’s learning to manage her nerves while Thing 2 is still quite unaffected by the whole thing. Now on to competition this weekend. Even [Read More]
A Techy Day in the Life
I’ll be the first to admit I am no tech whiz. You probably knew that already. My first ‘exposure’ to technology (aka cell phones, email, etc.) was when we lived overseas. Cell phones were way more prevalent in Europe in the late 1990’s than they were in the US at that time. It was then [Read More]
Kids, Confidence, and Body Image
Ice show weekend has come and gone and we’re winding down the final days of school. Things were especially frenzied this year with track season in the mix as well. You’re looking at the conference champion hurdler. I. Am. So. Proud. The ice shows were fun but exhausting. Thing 2 was mildly nervous……but mostly had [Read More]
Up for Air…Kind Of
Between end-of-school festivities (locker clean-out anyone?) and ice show rehearsals (shows are this weekend) I am deep in the swamp of overwhelmediosity. Instead of speedwork, I’ve been to Hobby Lobby three times this week. Who am I?? There may be a bright future ahead for me and my super sonic crystal glue. Either that or [Read More]
Filling the Fitness Bucket
A fitness bucket list: do you have one? The first time I thought of fitness in terms of a bucket list was back in 2007 when I decided I needed to run ‘A’ marathon…as in one and done…to fill mine. 6 marathons and counting, we all know how that panned out. Lately I’ve been thinking [Read More]

Success, Spirulina and a Winner
I’ve been burning the candle from both ends for weeks, prepping for this weekend’s ice shows. I was ok with it when it was limited to after school and evenings but now that the rehearsals are impinging on sacred early morning workout time, it has been a challenge. Needing to to be on the ice [Read More]
