Food porn anyone?

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007

For those who like food?  Here’s your daily dose.  :)
I’m ignoring it.  I don’t need food like that.  I like lettuce.  And bran.  And water.  Bleh.
I’m still busy beyond belief.  Crazy.  Like I want to run away kind of busy.  Tomorrow I’m going to a dinner for the local chamber of commerce.  Tonight I happened [...]

Simple pleasures

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

I got tagged by Pam for this virus meme. 10 simple pleasures. Let’s see.
1. Chocolate (d’ya think?)
2. afternoon naps in the summertime with the windows open and the cicadas buzzing outside
3. fishing when the fish aren’t biting and I have all day to drink cold lemonade and eat chicken sandwiches from a cooler
4. warm [...]

Breast feeding continued and continued

Monday, February 6th, 2006

Oh yes, you knew they just won’t let this story die. :)
Once again, the banned breastfeeding woman of Ann Arbor hit the papers. Her name came up because city counsel member Joan Lowenstein now wants to introduce a new city ordinance to allow women to breastfeed “anywhere in public” according to the [...]

What would I do if I weren’t afraid?

Thursday, February 2nd, 2006

I read that pamphlet called “Who Moved My Cheese?”, or some title similar to that. Its basically a very simplistic allegory about corporate culture and dealing with change.
It’s somewhat annoying because it first gives an explanation of what the story is about and what the plot is, then it tells the story, [...]

Andy

Monday, January 30th, 2006

A post on Audrey’s blog about playing soccer reminded me of a story from when I was young.
I was at Boy Scout camp and I was in High School, I think. Maybe 9th grade. One guy in our troup, Andy, was a lot bigger than the rest of us. He was easily [...]

dream

Sunday, January 29th, 2006

I had a dream last night that I was running in three races in Europe. France, Belgium, Germany. We got on the plane in France, and the next thing I know we were on the street in France, 3 days later and the races were all over. I had no memory of [...]

Please leave your breasts outside the pool area

Thursday, January 12th, 2006

I had to laugh at the most annoying article in the Ann Arbor News yesterday. Apparently, the Ann Arbor YMCA kicked some woman (Kelly Fuks?) out of the pool area for breastfeeding (on the pool deck). What was the reason? It was “distracting the lifeguards”. And what part of [...]

Focus

Sunday, December 18th, 2005

Are you losing focus? I am.

I never understood why some bloggers seemed to fade away after they finally hit that big goal (in my case it hit me). Until now. Lately, I’ve really found myself losing focus on goals, running, work, life, everything.
Here’s what happens, I think.
You have this goal, a marathon, [...]

Think you’re a car nut?

Take the car nut quick test!
