On Cooking (or not cooking, as the case may be...)
A few friends here do thefridayfive each week, so I joined a bit ago. This is the first one that spoke to me, although they didn't ask the questions until Sunday this time around for some reason.
1. How do you feel about cooking?I hate it. I love home cooked meals, but I don't want to do the cooking. It takes too much time, and I don't have the patience to ( Read more... ) -
Doing Things
Back at the beginning of the year, I made a List of Things I want to do. And in the last week (ok, 8 days) I've done THREE of them. Not too shabby!
take bb to an aquarium
Last Sunday morning - we decided on a whim to take our son to the National Aquarium in Baltimore. It's absolutely one of my favorite places to go -- I love aquariums anyway, ( Read more... ) -
Schedules
Day one and I've already failed, came home tonight after 9pm. I've recruited my entire team to carry me out of the building at 5:30 tomorrow if necessary. Wish me luck. -
Swimming lessons
Ever since my son was 8 months old we have taken him to "swimming lessons" on the weekends. I put it in quotes because he's not really swimming, of course. Although I swear that my now 10-year-old niece was able to keep her head above water before she could form real sentences... but I'm looking for proof of that. I'm sure there is a video ( Read more... ) -
Adulting is hard
It is so much more difficult to be active on LiveJournal than it was when I was in college. I keep meaning to get on here and write a post, but it doesn't end up happening. I had good intentions tonight... but my brain just wasn't in it. I brought the laptop to bed. But instead of writing, I cuddled my kitty, did puzzles, and then when I did get ( Read more... ) -
Condom on the side of the road
This morning, we were all finally feeling well enough to get out of the house. We packed up the baby in his stroller to walk about a mile to CVS to pick up more tissues. On the way back, I noticed a condom in the grass between the sidewalk and the road. This is not the first time I've seen this ( Read more... ) -
Doing Everything.
Only four days in and I've already missed a post. Well, it's ok. My goal isn't 100%. It's just to do it "more often". And the best way to do that is to make a habit of it. They say doing something 7 times in a row is enough to make it a habit. We'll see if I get there ( Read more... ) -
Decisions
For the last little while, I have been considering getting a tattoo. Yes, really.
Specifically, of the RAGNAR logo on my right calf. Ever since we did the ultra Ragnar race back in September, when they handed out temporary tattoos to do this with, I've been toying with the idea in my head. And then over the weekend while I was running, the audio ( Read more... ) -
New year, new attempt
Once again, I want to try to post more. To try and do that, I wanted to do another Mission 101. But it's hard for me to come up with 101 things. Then I thought, maybe I'll just do a year's worth of things... but then I'd have to remove a few of the things from this list because they are more than a year out ( Read more... ) -
RIP Meggie
Unfortunately, last weekend we had to say our last goodbyes to our sweet dog, Meg. She was almost 12 years old. She'd been having some weird liver problems for over a year now, but it seemed to be under control and the vet said she was hoping we'd get 3 more good years out of Meg. No such luck.
