I went for a run this morning in the cool 70-something degree air. It was nice. I don’t know exactly how far or what speed because my GPS battery died. Oops. Anyway, it was close to 5 miles, verified by mapmyrun.com. I will say that as difficult it is to get up hills, these [...]

We almost made it. The Crumpler and I were trying to hold out on turning on the air conditioning until June. It was 10pm last night, after a long, sticky day of sweating, and we totally caved. Close enough. Speaking of coolness, I’ve been making some headway on the nursery underwater mural. It’s not [...] We went furniture shopping yesterday on Craigs List. First, I found a corner unit for the dining room that matched the decor and wasn’t too clunky and big looking. We drove to a guys house in Raleigh to take a look at it. Funny thing is that during conversation we discovered he works at [...] Sounds dangerous, doesn’t it? It can be. That’s what I’ve started calling the kitchen when Gary’s in there cooking. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been shooshed away when he’s in food prep mode when I’m just trying to sneak a little pre-dinner snacky-snack. It’s for the best, really, because with all [...] What better place to put my brag on than my own, personal blog? I mean, really, it’s been done already. Just read my race reports. It’s all about I did this and that and most often win blah blah blah whatever, except maybe when I have a bad day or am just plain outmatched with smarter [...] Current home improvement project numero zillion is painting living room, hall and dining room walls. This is the Cracker Bitz color I’ve mentioned before. The trim color is breadbasket, the next shade darker. While neither of these names sound all that friendly to a gluten free girl like me, they are mighty fine looking on [...] We’ve been making headway with the nesting project. Cork floor is finished and beautiful. We have a complementary paint color picked out for some living room and dining room walls. It’s called Cracker Bitz (with a z), which looks fantastic with the gold-glazed Leapin Lizard walls above the chair rail. The paint will also [...] Weeeellll…I did check my work email today, but I didn’t commit much time to the process, so this Monday was a true holiday. Since we are not travelling today, unlike many of you burning rubber on the tarmac from hither to yon, I had some time to do whatever I wanted to. Sounds like a [...] Remember the cork flooring? Whatever happened with that stuff anyway? Well, we’ve been waiting for the official installation kit that we didn’t realize we also needed to order with the cork tiles. We also got some underlayment plus some shingles to shore up some of the lower spots. I take care of the morning [...] A quick update to let everyone know that I’ve run every day this week since Monday. The runs haven’t been long, but I fit them in. Also worth noting is that all the Christmas shopping is done, but the Christmas cards are still on the to do list. The carpet and padding is ripped [...] |
