A birth (my niece), a marriage, and a funeral, all in the past week.  I thought that sort of thing only happened in the movies?

The one question I hate above all others:
Any good news?

Only three words, yet packed with so much pressure.  How can three words make me cringe so badly?

Most entries are now friends-only posts.  Meaning, if you don't have an LJ account, you gotta create one first and then ask me to add you.

I ran my second 10k race two weeks ago.  This time it was to benefit the Lance Armstrong Cancer Foundation.  From start to finish the race (and I) sucked. And although the overall experience really wasn't much fun, I still feel the need to document it here.

First of all, that morning was cold. And windy. Like -8C (around 15F) Cold.
Plus we got to ( Read more... )

At least once a day my husband will pause from whatever it is he's doing, look at me for a moment, then wrap me up in a big hug and whisper in my ear "You're so pretty ( Read more... )

About once a month my good friend Em and I like to get together for dinner, just me and her, no husbands allowed! We usually find ourselves at some back table of a sushi restaurant where we'll park ourselves for the night, talking long after they've given us our bill and re-filled our tea cups multiple times (I know, awful restaurant patrons, but ( Read more... )

Wow. A brand new year and yet so few updates.  Is anyone else finding it really hard to update their LJ blog? It seems like there's so much going on with so little time to sit and savour those moments, plus no one seems to bother to update anymore.

The good thing about blogging is that it allows you to capture certain milestones, like an anniversary!

Today is our second anniversary and I can't believe how quickly time has flown by.  I always get a little bit sad on our anniversary though, just because I remember how wonderful that day was and how much I loved being around all my close family ( Read more... )

Been thinking about posting for awhile now, but somehow never got around to it.  Also been thinking about starting a new blog, a non-LJ blog.  Maybe...

While I've been thinking about that, summer has zipped by way too fast.  Good thing I LOVE the fall (especially here in New England) because it feels like it's here already.  I've been getting up ( Read more... )
