August 11th, 2007.I woke up and ran a 5K with Mike and one of my bridesmaids and closest friends, Katie. I hadn’t ran in weeks, but I wanted to do something that would get my mind off the fact that I was, oh, you know, WALKING DOWN THE AISLE at 2pm.With a veil attached toRead the whole post >>

Just a quick public service announcement before we return to our regularly scheduled blogging: I’m a klutz. And also, my knees are completely cursed. Seriously. At first, I just had ITBS – basically my right knee hurt when I ran more than 1.5 miles, so I have to stretch it really well and it willRead the whole post >>

Slip 'N Slide, Popsicles, and Cousins.

Ah, summer. The very word fills me with memories of months spent playing outside till my shoulders were tanned and freckled, fingers sticky from popsicles bought from the ice cream truck, and ponytail still wet from running through the sprinkler.

A Little Sarcasm's Good for the Soul

When I saw this over at Allie’s, I knew I had to do it. Someecards crack me UP. :) The goal is to pick five cards from someecards.com that describe yourself in “amazingly unflattering ways.” I’m so guilty of this.

I’ve been at my job two weeks now. Ten days. My extended family has been planning to go to Cedar Point (America’s Roller Coast, baby!) tomorrow for a few months, but I figured I wouldn’t ask for time off since I’m new at my job. Plus, how lame is it to ask for a dayRead the whole post >>

Noah's Ark

This weekend, I spent some time with my friends whom I’ve known since 8th grade. We’re an eclectic group – we might not have as much in common as we once did, but we’ve stayed close nonetheless. We hold jobs as teachers, med students, business women, and volunteers. We differ in our political and religiousRead the whole post >>
