Preparing for Spring

// I’m getting ready for spring weather.  Good thing it was snowing when I walked out of the apartment.  Oh well, I’m still getting rid of my heavy sweaters.  I’ll just layer up on lighter spring apparel until the temperature goes up. I packed all of the ingredients to make a quesadilla for lunch. My [...]

Toilet Monster

Jared and I were both in the bathroom, getting ready for work.  I was doing my makeup and he was adding too much product to his hair.    Typical am routine. When suddenly there was a LOUD bubbling.  And lots of gurgling.  I got a little bit scared.  Rumbling and then… An explosion of suds?!?! [...]

Eat Dessert First

Enjoy life!  Eat dessert first! For the 2nd night this week, I ate a frozen treat before dinner.  But this time I ran about 2.5 miles before snacking. Jared, Mark and I met at the Boston Public Library.  We ran over to Comm Ave, down Comm, and crossed onto Beacon Street to run to Coolidge [...]

Life Saver

Morning snack of baby carrots and Laughing Cow cheese.  Ok, so I ate half of the carrots before I even took the picture.  I was hungry! My mom met me at the gym so she got to play photographer and take a picture of today’s outfit.  Looks so boring!  Haha.  But in person, the glass [...]

South End Athletic Company

I’m glad I chose to go to spin class.  Within 20 minutes, my Gruve indicated that I had reached my goal calorie burn for the day.  Go me!  I tried to crank the resistance up whenever possible, really climbing those hills, and keep my cadence with the music.  But for some reason I didn’t feel [...]

Muve to the Gruve

Another bowl of Peanut Butter Puffins cereal with Dark Chocolate Dreams peanut butter.  Simple, filling, and it tastes SO good. Preppy work attire and some new ballet flats from the GAP.  Plus I think I deserve extra credit because it’s been a long time since I’ve bothered to straighten my hair for work. I order [...]

Proud Mama

Happy Birthday Miles!!! My fur baby Miles is 4 years old today! Crappy cell phone picture to capture our 1st day together!  Look at how tiny he was!  I bought Miles on a whim at a pet store in Connecticut.  He weighed 5 lbs and one of his ears was flopped over.  Beyond cute! Miles [...]

Free Cone Day

Breakfast, not in bed, but standing next to it.  (And check out my nosy little dog in the background!) I used my leftover piece of chicken from Sunday’s dinner as part of my lunchtime salad. Plus a mini bag of Pop Chips on the side. A tasty Z Bar for dessert! I was in the [...]

“We Cheer and We Lead…”

I talked about cheerleading a lot this past weekend.  It made me get nostalgic and I’ve been looking at old pictures and videos. Total cheer face!  I’m such a dork!!! Though I’ve mentioned that I’m a former cheerleader on the blog several times, I don’t think you guys know how involved with cheerleading I really [...]

Bloggers Unite!

I couldn’t resist borrowing this photo from Caitlin.  Bloggers and friends!  Such a great picture (I’m towards the right, wearing the black flowered dress w/ the black cardigan.  I kept my eyes open for the photo, something that’s always a challenge for me.)
