Positives of a deployment…
With deployment looming in the not-so-distant future, I was thinking yesterday about some of the things I actually look forward to during a deployment. Things like mowing the lawn. Yep. I actually LOVE mowing the lawn. There is something so gratifying about seeing those freshly made tracks on the grass, the smell of it mixed… Continue reading

Failure with caveats….
Well, my little iphone experiment is a bit of a failure. Sort of. I haven’t turned it back on yet, but I am going to shortly. With an upcoming deployment, the awesome hubbs has offered to give his up (since he won’t be able to use it anyway) so we can still save a bit… Continue reading

Running is….
Running is many things to me but as I was in the middle of the last 10k races my mind filled with all kinds of adjectives that a year ago I would have never thought possible…. So, here are a few from my list: Running is ____________. Therapy Alone time Cathartic Exhilarating Mind numbing The… Continue reading

2 Heads and Second Thoughts
I am seriously having withdrawals. We went in and did it last night. We downgraded the iphone. I don’t think I will ever forget the look on the guy’s face that was helping us. I seriously think he thought I had two heads. “Downgrade? Really? From the iphone?” “Yes, we are looking to lower our… Continue reading

Amputation Time Part II
Tomorrow I will be disconnecting my iPhone. And while I will miss the gadget-y features (yes, gadget-y is a word! 😉 I’m actually looking forward to it. In the past couple of days I haven’t been checking my phone as much in “preparation” for the “surgery”. Surprisingly enough, I’ve felt more relaxed and much more… Continue reading

But there has been a nagging feeling in the back of my mind for quite some time. I have to… Continue reading

My Day in The Sun
After a great workout this morning with my sister, I decided that I would do NOTHING all day. Except bask in that glorious light they refer to as “sun”. How sad is it that in three short months I lose my mind when that big ol’ ball of fire in the sky decides to shine… Continue reading

The Run That Wasn’t
I really REALLY do not like the treadmill. I often refer to it as the dreadmill. It’s great for speed training and blah, blah, rains a lot, blah, blah, blah. I don’t care. I like to feel the road (or dirt, or gravel, or grass) beneath my feet. Perhaps it’s because I fell in love… Continue reading

Fully Prepared….To Never Leave The House Again!!
Okay, that may be just a tad bit unrealistic. Although I may consider wearing a sign warning people that if they are considering having children, they should look away as watching our family in action just may be the best form of birth control ever. We went to breakfast with friends at a local restaurant… Continue reading
