I picked up Ben from the airport yesterday and we headed for dinner. Not only did we not see each other for a week, but it is also our anniversary Sunday! We decided to celebrate Saturday. Ben has been wanting to try Houlihan’s for a while so we decided to hit it up before we leave. This is the worst…

Running with “down” Braids
I think I’ve found a new favorite hair ‘do for running! You guys may know that I have issues with my hair while running. If I don’t braid it or put it in a bun it gets very knotty 🙁 Up until today I would put it in a pony tail (or two) and then braid it. But since I…

French Toast Friday and Rain Man
I have been the worst with posting on a regular schedule lately 🙁 I know no one is sitting waiting at their computer for my posts, but it bothers me because I have some brain issue where I turn into Rain Man if I don’t stick to my little schedule.

(I could go on…) There is a new nut butter in town! My new NB is sweet and funny and good looking… And NOT almond butter or peanut butter or even soynut butter. I’m…

Drenched
Today I didn’t get drenched from my own sweaty run. No, I got drenched by God. My marathon training program has Wednesdays as rest days, so I was going to take a stroll and give my mom a call. Well, 1/2 mile away from my apartment it starts to POUR out of nowhere. And I mean POUR! I was immediately…

Bad News AB Lovers
Warning: This post contains the worst news you are going to hear today. (Unless you found out your dog died, in which case I am very sorry and this joke isn’t funny.) Anyways, I went to TJ’s again today looking for my beloved almond butter. It was still MIA. I asked and was told TJ’s Almond Butter with flax seeds…

Yoga Mat Flip Flops
When I went to Ben’s annual college reunions a few weekends back I made the mistake of bringing “cute” shoes instead of comfy ones. I didn’t realize there was so much walking involved and ended up getting blisters on my toes 🙁 I was dying to get my shoes off, but could not find a place to buy some cheap…
