Coffee with a Vodka Chaser, Please

I am surly today. Call me CPM – Cranky Pants Mason. I decided that it would be a fabulous idea to suck just one more sunny ounce out of summer and hit the road with the girls again this week. Beach bound we got on the highway and down came the rain. Winds blew and [...]

I’m at Your Service. If You Want.

Last week I cried ‘do over!’ and I kept my promise. I met my goal. I worked out five times last week. It is the same bat time, same bat channel again this week. Five times. Yes, my knees are popping more than a box of cereal and I a bit more exhausted than I [...]

Good Bloggy Karma

It’s Friday. I’m a bit burnt out. My lack of gym time this week and the sudden influx of mucus and other icky sickness in my house is making me lazy in body and mind. I’m done writing about blogher. I cannot bear to weigh in on world affairs or the recession. I don’t feel [...]

Working with Kids. The Unsolvable Equation.

I woke up late today. So much for Body Pump. I fear I will never see streamlined thighs again. I find myself running around today trying to catch falling yogurt cups before they hit the floor with a splat. Racing down the stairs with the dog who can’t keep up and ends up tumbling to [...]

It’s Like I Don’t Know My Own Blog Anymore

My brain is a bit fuzzy today. Probably from all the buzzing it has been doing this morning as I try and get a grasp on what this blog is really all about. See, I’m going to be on a little radio show this afternoon (2pm EST) called, Role Mommy and Friends. I just know [...]

On The Nightstand

I’ve been inspired this week by the summer reading bug, Newsweek and the blog, Everyday I Write the Book. I’m an avid reader, typically reading about 3 books and 2 magazines at a time. I read standing up while cooking dinner, I read in the car while waiting even if it’s for a mere moment. [...]

The Hills They Break Me

Holy Mountain of Death… it must be ninety-bazillion degrees outside and my legs feel like they are in cement casings. Where is my runners high? Where in all that is holy and stamped with a Nike swoosh is my moment of running zen?! I am deep in the trenches of one month of running. The [...]

Meeting Jen Lancaster

Meeting Jen Lancaster

Last Friday I took a trip two years in the making. I boarded a metro train bound for the city and met up with a friend. After a delightful dinner of tapas and sangria and a quick stop for cupcakes we made our way to the Jen Lancaster, Pretty in Plaid, book signing. Awww… look [...]

Assorted Ramblings

I’m hosting an insanely good giveaway at MPR that involves clothes and more! Check it out here. I’m giving away a pretty necklace this week so be sure to check that out as well. I’m de-following Heidi Montag on Twitter. The shame that I clicked the ‘follow’ button is overwhelming me on a minute by [...]

Work At Home Mom Takes a Meeting

You give yourself an hour to get somewhere that takes thirty minutes. You take three hours to get yourself and the two kids ready for an outing that will take about three hours as well. On the way to the meeting you get hit with some gnarly traffic, get lost on a few one way [...]
