I’m currently in route back to Charlotte where a mammoth week of work that will end in my weekend CrossFit Level 1 Course waits for me when I touch down. But I’m pleased to say that I’m approaching it with less anxiety and stress and more confidence and contentment. This trip has been both nice [...]

All Good Things…
July 10, 2012 { 16 comments }…must come to an end. I’m blogging from my kitchen table instead of my parent’s balcony. Vacation is officially over and it’s time to get back to my normal routine. Although that routine has shifted slightly and I’m now forced to deal with it and not be distracted by travel. We’ll see how this goes. [...]

The day started with one of my favorite pre-workout breakfasts before heading over to our new location for the July 4th CrossFit class. It’s a tradition to do [...]

Friday at 5 & 10
February 18, 2012 { 21 comments }Happy weekend! I mentioned in my Friday post that I was traveling this weekend. I’ve been a little all over in the last 24 hours but here’s my final destination. I’m at my parents house! I arrived exhausted and sweaty around 3:30 p.m. and was immediately sent off to shower. I then painted my nails [...]

A Tuesday Trip
December 28, 2011 { 5 comments }I am happy to hear that I wasn’t the only one in “recovery mode” on Monday. My recovery carried into Tuesday but also involved the reality of a little bit of work too (um…and the reality of some cake…keep reading!). I taught a 7 a.m. class uptown at Charlotte Athletic Club and then had a [...]

Asheville Part One: Eat and Drink
September 25, 2011 { 19 comments }Our quick getaway to Asheville was great! The Western North Carolina mountains hold a special place in my heart after spending my summers in college as a counselor at Camp Wayfarer.

A Surprise Visit
June 9, 2011 { 32 comments }Hello from Georgia! Surprise! I decided Wednesday afternoon that I was going to come visit my grandmother for a few days. I packed the car up at lunch today and hit the road after work. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate with my travel plans and I battled quite a few severe thunderstorms (hail, cloud [...]

Sunsets
May 26, 2011 { 25 comments }My favorite time of day during our vacation in Jamaica was sunset. Unfortunately, the first day we arrived I missed sunset because I passed out cold on the beach in sheer exhaustion. But each day after that my favorite thing to do in the evenings was shower, change into comfy clothes and have a cocktail [...]

Pack It Up
May 11, 2011 { 25 comments }Emerging from packing madness for a quick check in. My upper back was so tense from working all night that I just had to roll around on the foam roller and give myself a mini massage. Love that thing. A few hours ago the guest bedroom looked like this. I am a packing procrastinator. I [...]

South Georgia Weekend
February 19, 2011 { 16 comments }Happy weekend from south Georgia! We are visiting friends from law school that live in Baxley. It’s a really small town (no Starbucks, no yoga studios, no shopping malls) but this is exactly what I need this weekend. We’re just cooking, relaxing and enjoying each others company. It helps that it’s 75 degrees and sunny [...]

January 16, 2011 { 13 comments }Greetings from Charleston, South Carolina! We arrived yesterday around 1 p.m. Brandon handled the driving responsibilities while I researched afternoon activities.

It’s prime oyster season in Charleston and Brandon’s only request was that we find somewhere to [...]
