An editorial I read last year toasting the unexpected in our lives has really stuck with me, especially today on Thanksgiving. “It will never cease to surprise how the condition of being human means we cannot foretell with any accuracy what next Thanksgiving will bring.

A Chile & A Spoon Challenge
I am always up for a challenge and a chance for working with new ingredients. Especially will the lure of some delicious prices. Marx Foods is sponsoring a blogger recipe challenge, A Chile & A Spoon and I got picked to participate. Yippee! I got my chile sampler and instructions in the mail and I…
Sweet Victory
Got my run on again in the Hot Chocolate 15K. I haven’t done much running since my last half-marathon so I wasn’t as prepared as I wanted to be. I was slow going; I don’t think I passed one single person on the course which really messed with my Frogger strategy. Instead I just focused…
Friday Night Lights
I took a little trip down memory lane this past Friday night. Went to go check out my high school’s football game. I actually didn’t go to many high school football games back in the day, my field hockey schedule always conflicted. I’ve only been back to the stadium a few times since high school,…

Sailing, Sailing Away…
This past winter we “won” a private sailing trip on Lake Michigan. “Won” as in we were the highest bidders on the item at a charity auction, we won by signing a check over to a great local cause. We did this a few years back and had such a great time. It is the…
Tools of the Trade
Showing some love for my favorite running tools… MP3 PLAYER Music and podcasts keep me going during my runs. At the Rock ‘n Roll Half Marathon Expo I picked up the latest and greatest Walkman from the Sony booth. It is the W Series Walkman® MP3 Player, a far cry from my favorite Walkman back…
