Save the Best for Last
When you are eating do you save the best part for last? Most of the time I eat a few bites of my favorite part of the meal. Then, I eat all the stuff that’s not my fave and save the last bites as the best ones. Tonight I left a few chickpeas at the end of my salad and…

Coming to Conclusions…
Hello hello! Sorry this post is late, but as long as it’s not my period we’re all good right?

Today Ben and I headed into Washington D.C. for the Cherry Blossoms! Three years ago (just about a month before I met Ben!) I visited DC just before the blossoms came out and was disappointed. But, I was very happy to be able to catch them today! I packed up a lunch and we were on our way 🙂 But,…

Dress for Running Success
I busted out seven miles today but it was cold and windy! Since the sun was shining brightly I thought the temps were higher (as they’ve been the last few days). But I misjudged and didn’t dress as warm as I should have. See, I was dressed like this… When I should have been dressed like this… okay maybe I’m…
