Remember the other night when I mentioned it was chilly? By chilly I meant freezing. When you’re used to the sweltering summer days here, anything below 79 seems nippy, and anything below 69 is downright cold. It’s been in the low 60s at night for the last few days, which for most of you reading … Continue reading
Ketchup is one of the condiments that I’ve recently developed a palate for. Unfortunately, it’s not paleo. Instead of eating ketchup, I’m playing ‘ketchup’ tonight. Bad joke. I won’t recap my days at work (which have been totally fun, and challenging, and exhausting, and revitalizing, and did I mention exhausting?). I will, however, give a … Continue reading
I regret that it’s been a whole week since I’ve made time for any blog action. Well, that’s not entirely true. My nose has been stuck reading a lot of blogs actually; I just haven’t contributed to my own. I have however, been contributing to society. This week has been all about getting into the … Continue reading
Toes toes in the water, ass in the sand, not a worry in the word, cold beer in my hand. In the days since I last checked in with the world, Daniel and I had a Jimmy Buffet/Zac Brown tribute, several Jeep excursions, a whole macoroni casserole, a random assortment of mildly un-nutritious foods (except … Continue reading
Holy soreness. After tough workouts we often experience something called DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness.) DOMS is the hurt-so-good phenomenon your muscles feel about 24-48 hours post-strenuous exercise – especially weight bearing exercises. Well I can tell you there is nothing delayed about the soreness I am currently enduring. Today I worked out with an … Continue reading
Whelp, I’m wiped. Our Saturday got started relatively early. We had to get up for a seven o’clock Hoosier tip off! Indiana ran circles around Minnesota while the #1 ranked Duke lost to #20, NC State. Wahoo! During halftime, we took Charlie boy back to the beach for a morning swim. He is the best … Continue reading
My mom and sister took serious beef with me talking about how I remember none of us really liking black-eyed peas. Some people develop allergies when they grow up, I guess my brother and sister developed a palate for peas; apparently the whole family had multiple helpings yesterday. All I can say is I hope … Continue reading
If you have ever lived in the south, you’re probably accustomed to the tradition of eating black-eyed peas on either New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day for good luck. I can’t recall a New Year that my mom didn’t pop open a can of the black-eyed peas (which are technically beans); even though none … Continue reading
Good news! Our rental application was accepted! Today we signed on the dotted line for rental on the North Shore! Pretty hard to believe we’ll be living less than a block from one of the most famous beaches in the world. With the house hunt complete, I have no excuses to post-pone the serious job … Continue reading
Today Daniel and I left our running shoes at home and went for a walk on the beach instead. After 57 minutes I was depressed to learn we’d only gone 3 miles. What?! Our glutes were on fire, we were sweating bullets, and I swear we had been moving at super human sand speed. At … Continue reading
