Sitting here wearing (from inside outward) a camisole, a long-sleeved thermal shirt, and a frigging fake fur-lined coat…inside. Holding a mug of hot coffee in both hands, as though I’m about to dive into it. I am such a wimp over cold weather, which makes my residence in Wisconsin a bit of a [...]

Twenty-three miles later, and I’m still upright. Seriously, that was the longest I’ve run, other than the marathon itself back in May, so it feels good to know it wasn’t a fluke: my legs really can go that long and that far. Probably could have gone another three miles today without [...]

Is it the height of egotism or the nadir of it when, thinking of the person you love best in the world and formulating all the reasons why, the current front-runner is that he continually believes the very best about you in times when you see nothing but the opposite in yourself?

Good: marathon training. Everything is going smoothly so far.
Bad: the realization I was finally forced to accept yesterday that it’s just not going to be feasible for all four of us to head back east for the race. As much as I wanted it to be otherwise, it wouldn’t work. Too expensive [...]

Eric made out this year. A while back, he sort of put a hurtin’ on our KitchenAid stand mixer, when he and some friends made sausages with it; it did the job, but the motor wasn’t really built for such a big challenge, and it’s never really been the same since then.
I didn’t even [...]

A friend is doing an awesome thing for me and, out of the blue, volunteered to take my boys on Saturday so Eric and I could have an anniversary date. I was nearly in tears, seriously; asking for sitting is hard, so when it just lands in my lap, it’s a huge deal.
So! [...]

So Eric and I are doing The Love Dare. (Cue the “awwwww” noises or gagging sounds.) Here’s the thing: what with work, kid activities, and our own other involvements, he and I had reached the point where we were barely getting any time just to ourselves, and it was taking a toll on [...]

Blueberry Beet Muffin?

Mind you, with the exception of the pasta (with which I am entirely uncreative and my “planning” involves jarred sauces, occasionally with vegetables added in), I have no specific plans for any of these. Any ideas will also be [...]

Howdy. Carrie’s busy putting children to bed, and it sure sounds like a lot of work. So, to help out, here’s a guest entry from Eric.
How about a recipe?
Basmati and Wild Rice w/Asparagus
1/2 cup wild rice, cooked (I use a pressure cooker for this)
1 cup basmati rice, cooked [...]

Tuesday is Eric’s birthday, but he’ll be away on a work trip. We’re celebrating today instead! Both boys are hard at work on presents for him; meanwhile, he’s out enjoying a leisurely bike ride in the sunshine. When he gets back, we’re going to go out and celebrate, including a trip to [...]
