Life Ramblings

Hello, It’s been a weird week because Matt was traveling and we’ve had a guy here working to update our fireplace!  I can’t wait for you to see the finished product. It was a bit loud and our normal play space was out of commission so we’ve had a lot of skipped naps (Em is like every 3rd day now anyway). I’ve been hanging out in our play area upstairs and it’s so nice and sunny. I need to hang…

The Working World

Getting a run in before work changes my whole day! I went to work a little later this morning (because of a last minute schedule change that required me to go to a different school), and I was able to go for a quick 25 minute jog around the neighborhood. It wasn’t much, but being out there in the cool morning air and being done with a workout by 7:30 just makes me feel happy and energized for the rest…

A Bit of Everything

Twenties

It was one of those fabulous weekends. The sun was shining, the temps were perfect, and I had the whole weekend free to play. I did a bit of everything – relaxing, cleaning, organizing, exercising, eating, drinking, friending. Friday started with drinks and dinner at Fuqua Friday, and then Matt and I came home for a movie night. We watched Reality Bites, a movie that I’ve actually never seen, despite having listened to the soundtrack a million times. I really…

Ahhh, I had a fabulous weekend. Friday night, Matt and I took it easy and had a few beers with new Fuqua friends and then ate a late dinner at the famous Ten Tables in Jamaica Plain. I was able to get a new camera, thanks to the accident protection plan I bought at Best Buy, but it wasn’t up and running for picture taking on Friday night. The restaurant was adorable though, and I had a great burger. And,…

Another productive day over at the high school and another IEP meeting in the morning. Anyone getting up to watch the wedding? I’m actually tempted by the idea of a little mimosa gathering, but given I have to present at a meeting at 9 am, I don’t think that would be a very good idea. I might try to catch some of the news though, since I’ll be up in the six’s anyway. I attempted a treadmill run after work,…

The World at 3:30

Cooking Ramblings

Mmmm…70 degrees feels soooo good. I laced up the news shoes after work and went for my first run outside (in Boston) of the year. My shoes felt pretty good. Not fabulous, but solid enough that I think I’m going to keep them. Then run itself actually wasn’t too great, probably because I never run anymore and because I was still full from a massive luncheon we had at work today. Regardless of how my body felt, I really enjoyed…

Fashion Friday: Updates

Clothing Shopping

So, I left you guys hanging on a few things and I thought I’d give you an update. First, the running shoes issue. I actually took the Asics home with me and ran a mile on the treadmill. Something had changed. These aren’t the same shoes I’ve been running in for three years. They felt stiff and heavy:( So, I went back and brought home the Brooks!! They definitely feel different (in a good way), but I have yet to…

Today I went to the dentist! Other than my poor receding gums, my teeth are doing just fine. The floss they give you is so misleading though…it looks like a full size, but there’s really only a little bit inside. After the dentist I went and tried on new running shoes!! I’ve been buying the same pair of stability Asics (21 series) for a few years now, but I was a bit disappointed when I tried on the new model.…

West Coast Fever

Uncategorized

Hi Friends, Long time no see! Thanks for all the wonderful comments, both on my post about living in the moment and Kath’s tips for taking back the rest of the week! Please excuse me for not responding to comments right away though, as I’m living in the moment here on the west coast! The weather is a little chilly here, but it still felt wonderful to walk around in just a light coat yesterday. I spent most of the…
