I Don’t Think This Counts
Last night we stayed in Montana in a little tiny place that, as I mentioned, was a little sketchy. I walked into this “establishment”: …and took one look into a washing machine and promptly walked back out. Nuh Uh. Not happening. Laundry waited until the next stop where the machines were: a. clean b. not… Continue reading

Hi, ho, hi, ho, it’s off to Idaho!
Leaving Moses Lake, I attempted another 5k on the hotel dreadmill. This is what I was looking at as I was running: Sadly those little signs did nothing to motivate nor energize me as this is as far as I got before it felt like I’d been on the thing for an eternity: Have… Continue reading

The Best Laid Plans
We do love our plans. We lay them all out. We just know that we’ve covered every base, any possibility. Ha! Tell that to anyone who has done a road trip with minions! Starting off the day with a good run, we finished buttoning up the house, said some bittersweet goodbyes, and passed the inspection with flying… Continue reading

The Last One
It was my last morning run in Washington, and the first of many as we travel across the states to our new home. Here’s the deal. I am doing a “5k Across the Country” type of thing. Or at least a 5k in every state we stop. So here are a few things I saw… Continue reading

It’s Here!
It’s moving day! Or, rather, days – as is plural. Who moves in just one day? I’d like to meet them…and take notes! It’s a sea of boxes around here, tent is pitched in the back yard, and PCS season has arrived! We are camping out in the back yard this time around. It’s great… Continue reading

Let it Go
When I look around, I can easily get spun into a “perfectionist rut”, I start nit-picking. Things aren’t picked up enough. I see every single spot of dirt on the floor. I see the mounds of laundry that await me. I see the dishes that seem to grow friends over night! (Seriously? I just did the… Continue reading

PCS – Permanent Change of Station
PCS season is upon us and this time around it’s our turn. (Anyone else find the humor in that acronym? PERMANENT Change of Station…It’s anything but permanent!) Well we are down to just days before the packers come to remind us of just how much stuff we have (and how much crap we don’t need).… Continue reading

Subtlety: Eagles and Seagulls
Where we live we see plenty of seagulls, as well as a few eagles. The eagles are few while the seagulls flock together and dot the shore in swarms. The eagles are amazing, it’s true. With wings outspread, they seem to soar with ease. I’ve been watching a couple around our area and they are… Continue reading

My Fit Friend Joy!
One of the mamas in the neighborhood joined our little workout group at the beginning of the year and has been working out consistently since. She joined our group, not knowing anyone – but knowing she wanted in. She embodies brave. She gets it done. I often saw her running on the treadmills at the… Continue reading

Happy Thanksgiving!
I love food. Good food. Not drive thru fill-your-gut-but-feel-like-crap-5-minutes-later type of ‘food’. Real nourishment. The kind that feeds your tummy AND your soul. In today’s daily post, we are asked to “describe a favorite childhood meal. The one meal that was a treat, meant “celebration” or was pure comfort!” Meal prep was fun in our house.… Continue reading
