Summer Ubering
So, I did another thing! I should probably call this category of my blog the I-Did-a-Thing section because that's when I'm motivated to share the most. Anyway, my career is in a state of flux. Again. The contract I had to teach this past year expired June 15th. I'm still in the running for the … Read More »
The Assateague to Annapolis Adventure
I cannot believe it's been a year since our last Mother-Sons adventure. As the kids get older time seems to be moving faster, making this little travel tradition of ours even more important to me. For those that don't know, I've committed to taking the boys on vacation yearly. We choose our destinations based on … Read More »
My 7th Memorial Day Murph??
Happy Summer! I can't believe it's the end of May already. Time feels like it's moving super speed anymore. I'm not sure if it's the kids being the ages they are or my age or what, but man, the years feel like they are flying by. This fall my oldest, the original "The Toddler," is … Read More »
Remembering Key West in 30 Photos
I'm almost done recapping the Mother-Sons trips I took during my blogging break, and it makes me so happy to have them all documented. This post is a photo journal of the Key West Trip I took with the boys last year (2018). We flew Southwest from BWI to Miami for a long road trip … Read More »
My Blonde Pixie Process in Photos
So I did a thing! I've been thinking about doing it for months, but I've been a big chicken about it. Changing your look is scary! Especially when you've had as many hair mishaps as I have had. I mean, really, what was I thinking here? That's me in 1989. Yea, yea, it's the 80s … Read More »
Surprise PR!
This morning at the gym our workout of the day was simple --run 400 meters as fast as you can. ugh. I prefer to run three miles at a nice steady pace then sprint any day. I'm not built for speed. Heck, I'm not even really that interested in being fast. I know my strengths. … Read More »
Celebrating 18 Years in Lewes, DE
Yesterday was my 18th wedding anniversary. If you asked me if I thought my marriage would last eighteen years, eighteen years ago I probably would have said, "Of Course!" But that still doesn't reduce the shock that we've been married for EIGHTEEN YEARS! We've been together twenty-four, but that makes my head explode so let's … Read More »
Working on Weaknesses
This morning at the gym our strength portion was handstand push up (HSPU) work. Let me start by saying I've been CrossFitting for six years now and I still can't do a damn strict HSPU. I'm not going to lie, this bothers the shit out of me, but considering I didn't start doing anything even … Read More »
Goal Achievement and Journaling
Hey! Remember me? The girl who blogged her way to a seventy-pound weight loss? Well, I'm back! Not in the same way, of course, lots of things have changed. Instead of being a new mom in her early thirties with a baby on her hands, I'm now a mid-forties mom of two boys, eight and … Read More »
