Ben built all our Ikea furniture today and we had our first meal on our new dinner table. I was on a mission to find a pub height table and found a winner last night. I love it! I was hungry when I was shopping and threw some extras into the cart at Trader Joes– like sourdough bread and roasted…

Close Call
This morning I woke up raring to go on an 18 miler. I was excited because I planned to run to an old route I always would do when Ben lived in Irvine. I was going to run to his old neighborhood, which would be around 7 miles and then run around there until I called him. The run started…

Hemorrhaging
Isn’t that a pleasant blog title? Sorry, but I just feel like I am hemorrhaging money lately. Ever since we moved from Maryland money has just been slipping away at a crazy fast rate. Cross country moves are extremely expensive. Boo. And now that we’re moving into our condo we are doing repairs and buying furniture. And spending more money….

Test Run
Yesterday I tweeted that I was going to my favorite kind of shopping – shopping for running gear! Despite a random bad experience yesterday, this is my favorite thing to do 🙂 I went to a local big name running store (which I am not naming because they didn’t let me take pictures) and went through the process of being…

Fat Is Not A Feeling
I originally heard the term “Fat is not a feeling” from Roni’s Weigh. I love the saying and whenever I hear someone say, “I feel fat.” I always reply – “Fat is not a feeling. Happy, mad, sad – those are feelings, but fat is a whole other thing.” Well, today I felt fat. I went to go try on…

My Own Little Space
Since we did most of the living room floor yesterday, but still don’t have furniture, it’s just one clear and open space right now. It would be perfect for me to practice some yoga, but we don’t have the TV set up yet so I can’t put on a DVD. You’ll want to check out the latest collection of designer…

Wino Wednesday!
Today I am starting a new blog series – Wino Wednesday. Wino Wednesday is important because if ever a day of the week requires a glass of wine such as QKAWine – wine & spirits, it’s right smack dab in the middle of the week – Wednesday! Today I’m drinking Castle Rock 2008 Sauvignon Blanc. I am a white wine…

Simple Make-Up Remover and I Ate Turkey
Day to day I don’t usually wear make-up. This is a shock because when I go out I wear tons of it. I realize it’s probably a little too much, but this girl appreciates the glitter and there is no changing that 😉 Even more shocking is – I have never slept with make-up in my life. Nope, not even…

Up And Out
This morning I did my first run around my new neighborhood. (I actually ran here a few times before we moved to Maryland, but that’s another story for another day.) I am convinced that the route I took this morning is all uphill on the way out! Luckily that means its downhill on the way back. I can’t complain, but…
