The word “title” looks really funny after a while.

I’d never heard of this guy. Have I been under a rock or something? (Wouldn’t be the first time.)
So, I was talking to Mom today on the phone, and I mentioned that every day lately, without fail, I get dog tired an hour after running. I go from energized and happy to […]

Race for the Cure!

Posted by Carrie on 25 Jun 2008 | Tagged as: Fitness and Health, Items of Interest

I’ve had a couple of donations! Thanks to Monique (is that you?) and Sean!
Sort of inspired by Karen (another redheaded southeast Wisconsiner who did the Couch-to-5K thing and lost a bunch of weight - almost creepy that we haven’t met, come to think of it…), I was wondering whether I […]

Pssst…

I’m racing for breast cancer again.
The race isn’t until late September, but I’m taking pledges now. Spread the word! The Komen Race for the Cure is probably one of the most powerful things in which I’ve ever been blessed to be involved, and I’ve promised myself that I’ll be doing it […]

I drink a lot of water these days. Mostly, I’ve been buying flats of bottled water. I did this because:
A) I hate the taste of tap water,
B) I’m too lazy to fill the filter pitcher we have, and
C) For some reason, I drink more from a bottle than I do from a cup, […]

Again with the dream crap

Snake was in the yard, and when I grabbed Gabe and ran into the house with him, the snake chased him super-fast and almost broke into the house through the door before I was able to lock it. I was terrified, screaming at the top of my lungs, and Eric wouldn’t come help, for […]

Coffee?

I did this once before, and it’s a nice little coffee-making system. Every once in a while, the offer rolls around again, and since it’s back, I’ll pass it on!

Went Googling for info on BlueTooth, found this, and now I need to go change into clean pants. (Mom, don’t click the link; bad language, ahoy. )
My favorite part: “AND ANYWAY, ISN’T BLUETOOTH A @#$^ing PIRATE OR SOMETHING?”

Woooo!

We did it!
I love the announcer who just said, “If you put your nose up in the air just right, you can smell the sofa cushions all the way from Morgantown.” Just a slight exaggeration, that. I remember walking home from Mountaineer Stadium after beating Florida in the final game of […]
