As I mentioned in my last post, I am starting a new workout program for the next 12 weeks. Workin’ on my bootay. 😉 Ummm. OUCH. But so worth it. What I am LOVING is the online FB group. I have been in groups like this before and had forgotten how much I love the […]

The way I inspire myself? Try something new…
I’ve been a little bored in my workouts recently. Well, part of it is probably because I took a long break. You know, getting married and honeymooning and all (did you see yesterday’s post?) … The DOMS (when stuff hurts … otherwise known as Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) was pretty bad last week, too, but […]
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose (nberg…) by any other word would smell as sweet…
There are certain things that have to happen post-wedding. Going over all the gifts. Finding room for them all (not an easy feat when you don’t have a big place!). Writing thank you cards. And for us ladies, should we so choose, the name change. It’s a process. But I started the first “official” part […]
You don’t get gold stars for cleaning your toilet…
My husband and I split chores. He cooks, I clean. It’s that simple. I figured that out by our 3rd date when he cooked dinner for me. There was NO WAY I was going to cook for him after the amazing dinner experience he created. Granted, and he will fully admit to this, he was […]
Snow days, Harry Potter, music making, kitty cuddles…
As a teacher, we get a few perks. Summers off. Snow days. In fact, we just got two snow days for an inch of snow and really chilly, windy weather. Sah-weet! My hubby was extra happy since one of those days was his birthday. And he’s a teacher, too. YEY. It’s been nice. But without […]
I don’t do New Years Resolutions…
Well, it’s January. Which means it’s time for New Years Resolutions. I used to do that. I can’t remember how successful I was with it. It almost feels like a social pressure to make resolutions at the turn of a new year. Then I decided to focus on a word each year. Balance. Receive. Simplify. […]

Oh, hello, 5 days out. The best word(s) to describe how I am feeling? Excited. Stressed. Overwhelmed. Grounded. Anticipatory (is that a word?). Stressed. What, dessert? Wine? Oh. Excited. And I keep getting reminders of feeling ALL of those things. Like this prognosis from my astrology guy: Damn, you Mercury Retrograde! Do you not understand […]
Like peak week…
This wedding week is feeling a lot like a bodybuilding peak week. Or marathon taper week. All the hard work has been done. All the “heavy lifting” so to speak. Now it’s just fine-tuning a few things and making sure you are well-rested and healthy going into the big event. Sort of. Except it feels […]
The land of “last time”s…
We’re a week out from our wedding. Quite literally. We have a 5pm ceremony, so a week from now, I will be officially married. It’s crazy to think about. It’s like something you’ve been preparing for for a very long time yet doesn’t seem quite real… Or dreaming about since the thought of “being married” […]
Oh look … pie!
It’s the day before a long weekend. Some of us are traveling. Some of us are chilling at home. Some of us are working. But whatever it is we are doing, long weekends like this, especially the Thanksgiving variety, always invoke a sense of wanting to relax and reset a bit. It might be the […]
