Towards the end of summer in sunny Colorado, my entire family wanted to get one last outdoor swim in. My husband and I swam and played with the kids in the large pool, enjoying a game of keep away.
As my son jumped wildly with excitement to catch the water filled sponge ball, which almost careened [...]

Day 1 of 2010 and I resisted the desire to NOT workout, and I worked out. Still, I’m attempting the Shred with Jillian. Reason would dictate that I should give up on the 30 Day Shred having had no success in keeping at it. But in reality, it’s not about the disc, or the program, [...]

“Where’s my water?”
That’s all I could think. “I should have had some water over here, at least a little cup. The first thing I’m going to do when I’m done is get a big glass of ice water and drink it down. Right after I get over Natalie’s smug looks. Like this is all [...]

I’m supposed to be writing an article, something for the Examiner. I am, in fact, working on becoming a National Examiner (beyond the county I reside in), by publishing a number of articles each week, for a few months.

I have a new friend. Coobie.
Coobie is so good to me. We’ve only become familiar with each other about three weeks ago. A surprise really; happenstance of circumstance and we have found each other. We fit. Since we’re friends and Coobie has become so important to me, I thought I should introduce you…
Don’t stop reading. [...]

I found a gray hair. The second one ever…only the jury’s still out. I’m not sure if I’m actually going gray or going blonde. It’s an odd shade, lighter than it should be and not as light as it could be. A questionable hair really.
So the gray, or not so gray, something I have more [...]

I have to tell you that stressed doesn’t begin to explain how I’m feeling. I have an amazing amount of tasks. Tons of emails to send, none easy, all detailed or having to take so much more time than the point, click and 140 characters or less that I’m becoming accustomed to.
There are [...]

I kept reading the little yellow card, turning it over, examining even the smallest of print it held. Wasn’t I supposed to put something in my window? Where did it say this? The yellow card that is to adorn the lower left quadrant of my windshield as my pass, my permission to park in this [...]
