I Am A Runner

February 19, 2010

There.  I said it out loud.  Then it has to be true, right? See, I am the girl who hated gym.  I am the girl who is allergic to exercise. (I even have exercise-induced-asthma to prove it.)  I’m the one who would always tire first when working out with a friend.  I’m the one who [...]

Fashion Friday: Think Spring

February 18, 2010

Chocolate-Peanut Butter Brownies

February 16, 2010

I’m telling you, if it doesn’t stop snowing I’m not going to fit into my pants.  We can’t stop baking.  Today the kids asked for brownies, and just yesterday a dear friend gave me a copy of the William Sonoma Desserts edition of the Food Made Fast series.  After perusing the book a few times, [...]

What I Learned This Week: TV Edition

February 16, 2010

Tonight I am taking a stand.  I am boycotting Jack. There have been many episodes of 24 over the years where I turned my head away when it got too violent and even considered giving up on one of my favorite guilty pleasures, but I never went through with it.  But last week was the [...]
