I’m jaunting off to Colorado Springs for work this week. In town for one night only! I won’t get to see any sights like Pikes Peak or any sights actually but that’s fine. The Fifth Element turns one this week and who needs Pikes Peak when there is an octopus cake to be made? While [...]
Healing Mama
February 1, 2011 By 2 Comments
I need a healing right now. My mind is a whizzing blur of tangled thoughts. I feel like a glowing orb of sad feelings is just emanating from me non-stop. Starting marriage counseling is probably for the best. Once started though it gets the ball rolling for more open and frank discussions that are usually [...]
I’m Grateful for You- Lattes and Life

It’s not your typical friendship. In fact, I can’t even remember the last time we saw each other in person. It might have been at my bachelorette party and that was about ten years ago now. Remember those things called web rings? They were all the rage in the new millennium right along with message [...]

It hasn’t left a lot of room for contemplation, new ideas or much of anything but the bare necessities. I have felt removed from the blogosphere too. I [...]

Jingle All the Way 10k
December 14, 2009 By 4 Comments
I had my first 10k this weekend. For so many months I have been training, then side-tracked, then training again, gearing up for the cold, dealing with my nerves and all this time fretting and fretting about my time. I was using this particular race to qualify me for RunDC next year. Then something happened. [...]
