I have to start this post with an apology for the atrocious grammatical errors in my last post. I was so tired that I did not proof it and it is clear that my brain had checked out when I was writing. I was so busy at work today that I didn’t have a chance [...]

Snowed In Monday
January 10, 2011 { 18 comments }My alarm went off at 5 a.m. this morning and I peeked out the window to discover this (but imagine it in darkness): The snow that was predicted happened. About 15 minutes later I received a phone call from my supervisor at the Y that my 6 a.m. class was cancelled. I went back to [...]

Day One – DONE!
January 7, 2011 { 18 comments }Yoga Teacher Training day one is officially OVER. And it was not bad at all! I arrived at the studio at 6 p.m. and learned that we were kicking off training with an ashtanga practice. Big sigh of relief…I love ashtanga! I added it to my yoga routine last summer and recently completed the Eight [...]

Construction Zone
January 3, 2011 { 13 comments }Well, things haven’t improved over here on the messy front…in fact, I think they’ve gotten worse! Our bedroom has now also fallen victim to furniture construction. :shock: (But check out the nightstands that went in last night – looking good!) So Brandon is in the midst of furniture making, night two and things have only [...]

A Messy Sunday
January 2, 2011 { 22 comments }It’s been a messy, messy day in our house. First, the Christmas tree and decorations came down…leaving a path of destruction. Pine needles everywhere! I really do not enjoy “undecorating” after the holidays. It is sad and makes a mess. Second, we went to Ikea to purchase a few new pieces of furniture for our [...]

Slowing Down
December 28, 2010 { 10 comments }We’re packing up to make our way back to Charlotte but I wanted to post a quick update first. This break has pretty much been exactly what I needed. In case you haven’t noticed, I tend to cram my days full of as many activities as possible. Before leaving for this trip, I was averaging [...]

Christmas in Georgia
December 25, 2010 { 9 comments }It’s been a wonderful Christmas day with my family! Stockings lining the stairs this morning when we woke up. There was even one for Sullie.

Our Own Reindeer
December 7, 2010 { 17 comments }Look – we have our very own reindeer to go with our Christmas tree! Sullie is one of the most tolerant dogs ever. While I admit that she does not look excited, she totally went with it to make me happy. ;) Since I posted Sara’s guest post last night, I have lots to catch [...]

Mile High Peanut Butter Pie
November 20, 2010 { 16 comments }Happy weekend! Last night Brandon and I decided to finally use a Groupon we’ve been holding onto for a while and try Savor. I was looking forward to finally experiencing Savor after reading good reviews and constantly hearing the Twitter-verse talking about how good their food is. I knew it was going to be good [...]

Birthdays and Bluegrass
November 14, 2010 { 11 comments }I am sorry that things have been quiet around here the past couple of days but I worked late on Friday night and yesterday was jam-packed – not a second to sit down with the computer! We’ll just skip over Friday because other than working 11 hours, there’s not much to report. I had to [...]

Pancakes for Dinner
October 19, 2010 { 9 comments }My day started and ended with breakfast. Yum! Breakfast for dinner is the best and I don’t know why we don’t have it more often! Is anyone else a fan of breakfast for dinner? Before we get to the pancakes, let’s start at the beginning. Breakfast: overnight oats at my desk this morning. I was [...]

Strong and Sore

I woke up pretty sore on Friday after teaching BodyPump on Thursday night. [...]

Go Greek, Go Long
September 12, 2010 { 5 comments }I generally prefer to do my long runs on Saturday mornings. I find that if I wait until Sunday, I dread it all weekend. I was so back and forth with my long run this weekend and decided to do it on Sunday because we were out late and on our feet all night Friday [...]
