I’m so glad to be half-way through the week and to leave behind the dreary, rainy, foggy weather of the last few days. It hasn’t been especially cold, but with the monochromatic grayness, it sure has looked like winter. Last week the high temperature was around 76°, yet tomorrow, there’s a possibility of morning snow showers…

Resolutions Check Up + WIAW #11
Just like that, we’re half-way through the second week of 2013; if you’ve made any resolutions, how are they working out for you? Me? Well, uh… Let’s start with my health-related goals: 1) My gymnastics class started back tonight. Although I’m feeling infinitely better than I did a few days ago, I took it easy…
…In With the New + WIAW #10
Happy 2013! I can only hope that the rest of this brand new year is better than the first two days of it. Since just before Christmas, I’ve been battling a pretty severe (for me) cold. I felt absolutely miserable Christmas day, and while I thought I was hitting the home stretch New Year’s Eve,…
Handling Holiday Treats + WIAW #9
With Christmas quickly approaching and another familial feast on the horizon, many foodies, like myself, are full of anticipation. If, however, you suffer from food allergies or have adopted a vegan, paleo, or some other seemingly unconventional lifestyle, you might have begun bracing for a panic attack or mentally preparing a defense of your food…
Tackling the “Standard American Diet” & WIAW #8
Listening to National Public Radio has become a daily ritual during my short commute to and from work. This morning they aired a segment discussing the pending Farm Bill. The two main components of the Farm Bill are subsidies and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, or food stamps). I have no desire to debate…
WIAW #7: So Fresh and So Clean
My Wednesday began with a trip to the dentist. Now, some of you may immediately shudder when you hear the word “dentist.” You might even crawl into fetal position, recalling childhood dreams of a terrifying, masked, drill-wielding man in a white robe, standing over you while you scream inside. Me? I get excited! Apart from…
Hump Day Happiness..and WIAW #6
Unlike Monday, where the agony of returning to work after a long holiday nearly suffocated me, today I woke up really happy. I slept well, there’s a Christmas tree in my living room, gymnastics is tonight, and… it’s hump day. I’ve awakened from the post-turkey coma and the weekend is quickly approaching. Hooray! The only…
What I Ate: Thanksgiving…& Christmas Tree Friday
Well, I hope everybody’s belly is full from a delicious feast & family-filled Thanksgiving. Ours was wonderful: beautiful sunny weather, an outstanding meal, and lots of laughs with my parents, in-laws, and granny-in-law. I’m getting close to wrapping up my “month of thankfulness,” so I’ll be quick: Day #20: thankful for safe travels; #21, thankful…
WIAW #4 + Food Survey
I just cannot believe Thanksgiving is only 1 week away…where has this year gone? It seems like days—not months—ago I was listening to Christmas music to and from work and now it’s almost that time AGAIN. I can’t wait to spend the holiday with my parents, in-laws, and hopefully “granny-in-law,” and I am ecstatic for…
WIAW #3: Post-Election
Happy “election results” day—and congratulations, President Obama. I’m disappointed with some of the statewide results in Alabama (namely that we voted down an amendment to remove racist language from our Constitution and re-elected the infamous Roy Moore as Chief Justice), but it is what it is. At least we renewed the Forever Wild Land Trust,…
