Today started out just like any other day with a 6 mile run! The weather was absolutely amazing. The air was crisp, the sun was warm, and thankfully the trail wasn’t terribly crowded because the Army 10 Miler was going on. My legs on the other hand, were not in the game. From the start…

Since waking up this morning, I’ve had health on the brain. I had a doctors appointment this past week and it solidified the fact that I need to find a new doctor. On top of that, I’ve been thinking a lot about the passing of Steve Jobs (only 56) and my upcoming birthday. All in…

Happy Thursday everyone! This week has been rather good but I am totally looking forward to the weekend. Isn’t it interesting how we’re always looking forward to the weekend. Kinda weird how we want 5 out of our 7 days each week to fly by. I love my job, so that has absolutely nothing to…

I was so incredibly sad when I heard the news of Steve Jobs‘ passing tonight. What an amazing man. To think of how much impact he made to this world in a short 56 years is unbelievable. Reading this article and the responses truly made me cry. Steve impacted so many people and touched so…

I’m really looking forward to this week. My Dad is in town for a few days and I’m excited to spend some time with him and to show him my apartment. I was lucky to have my parents close by back in 2007-2008, but they have lived in Texas since then. I hope and pray…

This weekend was awesome! It started out with dinner at Liz’s on Friday night Liz made a fantastic vegetable lasagna, which included carrots! I had never had lasagna with carrots, so it was quite the surprise. I also left her place with enough cat hair on me to form another cat, but it’s well worth…

A week or so ago, Living Social had a deal in which you spent $10 and received a $20 coupon to Whole Foods! I just couldn’t resist. Last night after work, I walked the mile to Whole Foods with a shopping list in hand. For whatever reason, I had been craving panzanella salad all week,…

Today’s post is rather hodge podge as there is so much I want to share. First off, who has seen this commercial? I cried the first time I saw it and it still gets to me every time… It’s really a beautiful take on life but it makes me happy and sad all in a…
