UGH I had this whole post written and then Windows Live Writer gave out on me. Serves me right for not saving often enough! Tonight, I was going to pick up a rotisserie chicken for dinner, but when I got to the store, they were all out. Not wanting to drive to another store (what [...]

Valentine’s Day Hike Recap and a Vegan Recipe
Hello! How was everyone’s weekend? I had yesterday off for President’s Day so today felt like a Monday, and not a normal one at that, since I was in an all-day seminar all about mobile media that was way over my head. And tomorrow at work we’re doing a press conference in the morning, which [...]
My New Crazy Endeavor, and Why I’m Becoming Popeye
In my last post I asked if you’ve ever done a workout that made you say “WTF AM I DOING” halfway through, and a few of you said yoga. Well, I think I have stumbled upon the craziest of “WTF yoga” out there—Bikram. A friend of mine talked me into going to a class, and [...]
Easy Appetizer: Just Add Puff Pastry!
Well, another football season has come and gone (I know, most of you are devastated). On Sunday we had 18 people over to watch the big game, which was a tight squeeze given our small condo, but we made it work. I think a good time was had by all, and as usual we had [...]
Rah Rah for Raw Kale and Running
Good evening! Have you entered my “blog birthday” giveaway yet? There aren’t that many entries, so your chances are pretty good! (Don’t call it a “blogiversary.” I don’t know what but I’m not a fan of the term. I think the two ladies who I share my CSA goodies with are sick of kale, because [...]
Caught the Photography Bug Today
Hello there! I was kind of in hiding last week. Well, I was still reading and commenting on your blogs, but I felt uninspired to post anything to mine. So I didn’t. But now I’m back! Today, I took a photography class hosted by my museum. (We do all kinds of programs/classes/lectures and sometimes staff [...]
Pinot and Pizza with the BFF
Happy Last Day of 2009! My week off is not nearly as relaxing (meaning, not nearly enough TV time) as I was hoping but I have been cooking and exercising, which were two things I wanted to do as much as possible without that pesky job getting in my way. Right now I’m mid-prep for [...]
Crock-Pot Mulligatawny Soup
Super-cool news at the bottom of this post!! Well, cool for me, anyway. I had big plans to do lots of Christmas shopping today. Go ahead….ask me how much I got done. I did buy 1 1/2 presents online…so that’s something, right? I was really lazy today, and honestly, it was nice. Except for the [...]
Squash Semi-Fail (And Some Personal Ish)
Good evening! (Or morning or whenever you read this). Two days down, one to go until Thanksgiving! I’m more happy about the long weekend than the holiday itself, but it’ll be fun having a “big” group at Thanksgiving this year. For the past three years we’ve been anywhere from 3 to 6 people, but this [...]
Gringa Tacos and “Purple” Yams
I wasn’t going to post tonight’s dinner because I wasn’t sure how good it would taste. We all know I love my Mexican food—in fact, I went “off-campus” for lunch today to a local Mexican joint and had some yummy grilled fish tacos. Well, before I knew what I was doing for lunch I had [...]
