Hope your Halloween is filled with a few tricks and even more treats! I forgot my camera’s USB cable at work so I can’t post any pictures from last night’s meal of BBQ chicken and baked potatoes.  But I’ll use Jared’s camera for the rest of the weekend so I an capture any ghosts and [...]

I celebrated earning my Master of Science in Administrative Studies in mid-May when I participated in Boston College’s Commencement exercises. Then I celebrated my degree when I finished my final grad class at the end of June. Now it’s October 30 and I am celebrating for the 3rd and final time.  My VP contacted the [...]

My latest article for Examiner.com is focused on keeping yourself healthy as part of your cardio program.  So what should you know about vitamins? Vitamins Overview Eat a healthy diet.  A multivitamin is not as important or helpful to your body as good, healthy patterns of eating. Choose a daily multivitamin as extra insurance. Consider [...]

Still Thursday… I began my workout with my strength training circuit so I wouldn’t have any excuses to cut it short.  I modified the original plans to fit my mood and to target areas that had been bothering me lately.   For example, due to typical girl bloating, I wanted to do some ab work.  Here [...]

Last night, I dedicated a large portion of my time to decorating my Halloween-themed gingerbread house.  I accidentally added too much water to the icing so it was too runny.  I had a hard time preventing it from dripping down the front of the house.  Eventually, I just went nuts and drizzled orange and purple [...]

Lunch was a turkey sandwich that Jared kindly prepared while I was doing my makeup. My meeting did NOT go well.  Boooo to the Woods School.  But at least a few candy pumpkins made me feel better. I crunched on some baby carrots. I had to install Office 2007 so while my computer was hard [...]

After shedding a few tears of frustration and attending the Shecky’s Girl’s Night Out event, I am starting to get over my bad mood from yesterday.  I have a meeting at 10:15 to discuss whether or not I need to take the prerequisite undergrad computer course before I can get a diploma.  Thanks for the [...]

No Good, VERY BAD news… Just found out that even though I walked at Commencement in May and finished my MS requirements in June, I haven’t really earned my diploma.  BC seems to think I need to take an undergrad computer course before I can earn my Master of Science degree.  SOOOOOOOO  angry! It’s been [...]

Anyone planning on attending FitBloggin? It’s being held on March 20, 2010 in Baltimore, MD.  I haven’t signed up quite yet but I’m planning on it.  (Early Birds:  It’s only $75 for the conference if you register before Halloween!) And in honor on Halloween… A shot of the Haunted Mansion and the Liberty Belle from [...]
