Mishmash Friday

Mishmash Friday
Look at me with a Mishmash Friday like Shelley and Fran!  While I have been writing about my Spartan Race life has been going on behind the scenes.  I did want to show a few pics I took while in Milwaukee.  I had every intention Sunday morning to walk around the lake front, but the weather was iffy – it was lightly sprinkling the whole...

Blog Meet Ups 2 and 3!

Blog Meet Ups 2 and 3!
After the kids and I walked around Milwaukee after lunch, it was time to head back to the hotel and just rest.  I had about an hour and a half before I had to get ready before blog reader Kris came to pick me up.  The first hour, not gonna lie, was spent just laying in bed.  The last half hour I took a shower...

Spartan Race Recap!

Spartan Race Recap!
I woke up the morning of race day and I wasn’t nervous at all. I decided not to rock the boat on my food, so stuck with stuff I normally eat – I ended up getting a turkey sausage, egg white English muffin from the Starbucks in the lobby of my hotel, and grabbed a banana too.  The only thing I was nervous about was...

I am a Spartan!

I am a Spartan!
Oh my gosh.  What a whirlwind weekend this was!   I took a half day on Friday and 12:30 couldn’t come soon enough so I could start my adventure  (My new hashtag I have for stuff like this is #adventure2015!).  I love, love, love the navigation system I have with my car, I just listened to what she said and before I knew it, my hotel...

Spartan Race Time!

Spartan Race Time!
Eeeek!  I am so excited for this weekend I can’t even tell you.  I am excited not only for the race, but to meet up with some long time blog readers and friends.  I am hanging out with Jessica tonight, Kris tomorrow and Mel and Jory for brunch/lunch on Sunday. I was getting a bit nervous a couple days ago because I couldn’t find anything...

PR and David Letterman

PR and David Letterman
I had every intention of walking for 30 minutes before work, but that was before Red, Jacob’s dog, needed to go to the bathroom.  Usually in the morning it’s a quick out to pee and then he runs right back in and goes back to sleep.  Yesterday he seemed to be having some “issues” so he took about 10 minutes.  I thought about just ditching...

Shrimp Pad Thai

Shrimp Pad Thai
It was chilly yesterday morning, but since I wore my long sleeve shirt and sweatpants and socks to bed, all I had to do was throw my hair back in a ponytail (just fits!) put on my glasses and threw on a jacket and I was out the door.  For the record, I don’t think it’s required to put a bra on for walking around...

30 Minute Bolognese

30 Minute Bolognese
Monday’s are always hard for me to get up because I usually sleep in on Saturdays and Sundays.  The alarm went off at 6:45.  Then 7:00 and finally at 7:10 I got up.  I still had to blog, get dressed and put together my breakfast.  I am sure I’ve mentioned it, but I have to leave the house at 8:00!  Breakfast turned out to be...

I am blessed.

I am blessed.
Jacob got a new job on Friday.  He was working at Home Depot, but it was a 30 minute drive from the house, and the hours were kind of crazy.  Now he’s working at Sherwin-Williams in the next town over, so I picked him up a steak to celebrate on Friday night.   Hannah and I had our signature ricotta cheese and spinach pizza, and we...

Flash Back Friday

Flash Back Friday
So, the mower isn’t working again.  Jacob tried for over an hour to get it going, but the battery seems dead, even though I just replaced it.  Both our neighbors on either side have already mowed their lawns this week so that makes ours look like trailer trash.  I can hear Tony saying “Biz, you need to take care of the lawn!” Well, I have...
