Weekend stuff

Last night, the Pilot and my brother went up to Phoenix for the Celtics game. So after my girls’ night dessert party, I had a glass of Malbec and decided to spend the rest of the evening being gloriously lazy. I thought I’d watch some TV and actually pay attention instead of catching little snippets…

Photo roulette

You never know what you’re going to get. It’s always kind of fun to put in the SD card and see the forgotten photos; sometimes they’ll sit on there for a few days without editing, and then I’ll see a surprise or two. Like this one: Apparently Caro wanted to improve her dental hygiene by…

Smoked Salmon Quinoa Hand Rolls

This is a sad story about some rice (but a happy story about some homemade sushi rolls). That would be the leftover rice from Pei Wei, which ended up having a slumber party in my trunk. It’s easier to forget about leftovers in the car nowadays. For a split second, I debated eating it until…

A day to dine-out

Hi friends <3 I loved reading your responses on this morning’s post! I had no idea so many went commando at the gym, but totally understand- the liners are there for a reason, eh? After a few responses, just wanted to clarify that I couldn’t give a flying you-know about other peopler’s panty lines. You…

let there be lights

Hi friends 🙂 How’s the weekend going? Thank you so much for your race tips and motivation yesterday. I especially loved the fact that I won’t remember how much it sucked to wake up early, I’ll remember how I feel when I cross the finish line. I woke up with pretty fresh legs -I think…

Namaste November Re-cap + a new challenge!

I have to admit that I’m not a huge Phoenix fan…. until I get there. It’s silly because Phoenix has way more to offer as far as restaurants and shopping go, but Tucson still has a lot to choose from with the smaller, more intimate feeling of a small town. (Whole Foods seems to have…

In the spirit + Friday Faves

Everyone is in the holiday spirit in our house, especially Bella with her snowflake bandana.  We decked the halls the other night, and it always feels so good to take out our ornaments after they’ve been packed away. Last year was incredibly sentimental because when we’d previously packed them up, we had no idea where…

The other side

After years of my devotion to Asics, I crossed to the other side. Also after a little too many years, I got my stride checked out again and picked up some new kicks. My current Asics are toast, so new cushion feels sooooo nice. The real test will be tomorrow’s long run- here’s hoping that…

Hurry for the curry

I ran 9 miles yesterday morning. It was awesome.   And by awesome, I mean terrible. I just didn’t have my running mojo. It was a rough night of sleep -I always do that to myself when I know I have to wake up early- and when I got in the car, I realized I’d…

Our favorite bacons

Food-wise, lunches are usually my least exciting meal of the day. Since I’ll make them while serving Livi’s food, or they’re packed up to take to work, chances are that it’s a quick wrap or salad I throw together with veggies I’ve already chopped and/or roasted. Company-wise, they’re one of my favorite parts of the…

11/2: Friday Faves

I think the little humpday holiday made the weekend arrive so much faster. Chocolate and a quick weekend- hey, I can get on board with that. Anything fun going on over the next few days? Please let me know if you’d like a November workout calendar and I’ll have it up by Sunday morning (Sunday…

great wall of chocolate + treadmill stretches

Hi friends! Happy humpday to ya. Hope your week (and October!) is going well so far. While the Pilot was flying last night, Bell helped me study for my NASM exam and earlier in the after noon, Liv and I went to walk around World Market with my nana. I was originally going to check…
