Quite an offer!

A few weeks ago, I went to the Michigan State – Wisconsin game in East Lansing.  I shared a little about the game, but not about the fine offer I received on my way out of town.
As Patrick, Jessica and I were leaving, I asked if we could stop at the McDonalds just before the [...]

Woo-Hoo! Wednesday

While I’m enjoying a boost of positive thinking, I’m gonna share my recent success with you
I just ran 5.38 miles.
Oh, yes I did.
And I did this after spending some time on the weights, working on my back.  Although, a LOT more gently than my previous time with Karl.
(Hi Karl!  I still love you!  Be gentle [...]

Not-so-happy valley

It was a cold, gloomy day in Michigan today.  It made for a looooong day of Spartan football.
But at least we had a decisive win against Purdue to keep us happy!
Things were not the same in State College, PA.  Penn State is a close second for me in college football.  And I’ve been pulling for [...]

Baby got back… pain

Let me just start off by saying that I LIKE working out.  And I LIKE my personal trainer at the gym.
(let me also say that I’m a little afraid that he will kill me if I don’t say that Karl is the BEST personal trainer, ever!).
I kid, I kid.
But every once in a while he [...]

Day 2

Wow!  What a game yesterday!
I was invited to join my friends Patrick & Jessica at the Michigan State-Wisconsin game.  It was my first MSU game of the year.
And for a while I was worried that I had somehow brought bad luck to the team….  It didn’t look good for us.  We were down by 11 [...]

Where I’ve been….

I know that I’ve been very AWOL lately on this site.  I’ve been suffering from a chaotic mix of over scheduling, reclusive downtime and major writers block.
I haven’t been home between 7:30am and 11pm this week.  It’s all “good” stuff – but it definitely keeps me from posting on here.  I have time to hop [...]

Joy Ride

Last night I took my dad to the Tigers game.  My girlfriend, and co-season-ticket-holder, had to work and couldn’t attend.  It was a good opportunity for some father-daughter bonding. We’ve been able to hang out only a few times this year when it was just the two of us.
So all afternoon I was looking forward [...]

Recovering…

Pain has a name.   And that name is Bart.
I recently joined a new gym – which I love.   It’s just over a mile from my house,  on my way to/from work, and even when it’s “busy” there are still plenty of machines open.
Part of the sign up package included some free personal training sessions.  Last Saturday [...]

100 Pieces – #11

11.) I go to Opening Day for the Detroit Tigers every year.
And I go with my fabulous friend Kathy – who makes the whole experience fun. She also looks after me to make sure that my food/adult beverage ratio is on the right track. Kathy also knows the city way [...]

My bf

So I thought I’d introduce you to my boyfriend finally. I feel like I’ve been sharing everything else with you lately, dear innernets.
Let’s see: He’s a cute brunette and Really funny. Almost as funny as me. We just laugh and laugh and laugh. He’s usually busy on Saturday nights, but if I stay up late [...]
