My brain is tired. It’s the day before we get off for Thanksgiving break. Folks are already in break mode. I already noticed that the traffic was lighter on the way to school today. Teachers are ready for a long weekend. The kids are ready for a long weekend. We’re ALL ready for a long […]

It will all get done
You know all those things you say you’ll do “later”? Well, “later” has shown up for me. BIG time. And it’s not “later” in the procrastination sense. It’s “later” in the there-was-no-way-we-could-have-done-this-earlier sense. [this is all wedding-related, by the way] Or it wasn’t quite the priority. So it’s a lot. But it will all get […]
Inner gym rat
As my fiance and I were having breakfast this morning, he jokingly (and lovingly), referred to me as a “gym rat”. Probably because I had just come back from the gym. I gave him a look (I’m sure it will turn into my wife “look” … LOL!) and replied, “I am NOT a gym rat.” […]
Haste makes waste … and other musings
In our elementary music classes we study a composer each month. It’s super cool actually. It’s neat knowing that we are often these students’ very first introduction to some of the world’s greatest composers. This month we are studying Beethoven. On top of that, we learn about a musical word each week. This week it’s […]
One foot in front of the other…
…because sometimes that’s all you can do. One day at a time. One hour at a time. That’s my life right now. Working 1 1/2 jobs AND wedding planning puts you in that position. And with the little bits of time you have left? You prioritize things that are important to you. For me that […]
Eyes wide open
I’m feeling inspired. I went to go support one of my girlfriends at her bikini competition this past weekend. I did that 5 years ago, too. And got hooked. And started competing myself. So, she was my initial introduction and inspiration to the sport. And it’s interesting watching shows now, knowing, empathizing, with the competitors. […]
Be your own superhero
Sometimes we just need to be our own superhero. My future husband has really gotten me more into Marvel and DC Comics films. Like, it’s a thing. We try to see the movie the day it comes out. Even if it turns into a late night. We’ve been together through… Deadpool Civil War Dr. Strange […]
Abs are made where?
I’ve been watching a lot of superhero movies recently. Thor. Wonder Woman. Wolverine. Civil War. Superman. And when you look at a lot of these actors who portray super heros, they really LOOK the part. Why? Because they look strong. Physically capable. BIG. And in those shirtless scenes (for the guys, of course!) … RIPPED. […]
That’s why pencils have erasers…
For anyone who is keeping track of this blog, I blog on the days that I workout. That’s how I keep myself accountable. And I worked out yesterday. And did not post anything. I had something in the works. But by the end of the day I was tired and just not in the mood. […]
The importance of separation
I had a fabulous weekend. As did my fiance. We spent time with people we love. And did things we love. Michael had his Bachelor weekend in Miami and enjoyed some fancy dinners, nights out on the town, and college football (“It’s all about the U!”). Me? I indulged in […]
