I went to the Farmer's Market during my lunch to get some cheap produce. I love Farmer's Markets! I started today with a 45 min easy run while I waited for the polls to open. After running and voting I walked home and made some oats: I was unsatisfied when I got to work and wasn't sure if I was ... Read More about Day 89

Apple and Banana Oatmeal
I made The Best Apple Crisp recipe from Tina at Carrotsncake and it was the BEST! It was my first time making an apple crisp.

Halloween Dress Up
Yes, I am one of those people who dresses up their dogs. This year they were a nurse and a doctor. Actually I didn't put any effort into this at all. These are little kid costumes I happened to come across at the 99 Cent Store. They don't actually fit them well because the costumes are for little ... Read More about Halloween Dress Up

It's time for something new!
I have to try something new. I have gained 10 pounds in the last year and cannot seem to lose any weight (not that I am making a real effort). So I am breaking down this problem and finding a solution like a reasonable person instead of beating myself up internally until I feel like shit (like I ...

Sounded like a great idea…
...at the time.Long story short: My BFF and I went out dancing/drinking on Saturday night. On the way home we decided to stop at Denny's because we were hungry. There was a 15 minute wait and we were like, "Forget that, we're hungry now". So we drove through Jack in the Box. Here is my BFF showing ... Read More about Sounded like a great idea…
