I’ve been feeling pretty blue this week; however, I am keeping up on my fitness and productivity as a whole. I have a jammed packed schedule so while I feel like I’d rather be in bed, I keep moving. For a jolt of positive energy I turned to one of my favorite ladies to gain … More Inspiration from Eleanor
My first attempt at a D.I.Y. project went pretty well. Mom gave us her old microwave stand when we moved but the white linoleum didn’t mesh with the wood cabinets of our new place. My initial plan was to replace it with something new; however, since I can only buy so much stuff, I decided … More D.I.Y. Refinished Microwave Stand
I had a super fun, super busy weekend. Friday, I rushed to the gym to get my workout on. I’m really glad I’m in a gym going mood AND a running mood these days. If I can get my diet under control I bet I would have some pretty sweet results. After my workout … More Weekend Update
This so perfectly describes my experience writing. When I have a story in my head it just shows up and I must get it down before I lose it forever. I often find myself searching for a pen and anything to write on. It’ll drive Danny crazy when I say I’m on my way to bed but … More Writers
http://youtube.googleapis.com/v/4mf0eOhNCjg&source=uds Rita Wilson recently retweeted Tracee Ellis Ross and I discovered her YouTube channel. Girlfriends is one of my favorite shows and it was a serious oversight on my part to not include it on my list. It was fun, witty and honest. It definitely helped make me feel comfortable in my own skin. Tracee’s … More Hair Love

Here are my August goals: Run 5 days a week/Gym 3 days a week Complete the Codecademy (or at least keep on track) Read at … More August
To counter the optimism of my last point let me share this Forbes article. I try not to stress about my age, many successful people didn’t start doing what made them rich/famous until their 40s. At 25 (almost 26) I try to reassure myself that I have time left to accomplish my goals. According … More Something for the 20 Somethings
You must do the things you think you cannot do. – Eleanor Roosevelt For years I was convinced I couldn’t run. My lungs weren’t meant for it. I have weak ankles. My thighs are too jiggly for this activity. When I finally tried running on a treadmill in 2011 I discovered I could do it. I … More Never Say Never
Snow/Charming, Aurora/Philip, Cinderella/Thomas and Ariel/Eric I’m not going to do a detailed recap of my trip but I did want to mention my Disneybound fun! It all started with that pink tank top that gave me the idea to Disneybound as Aurora for a day. I found a spinning wheel necklace on Ebay that was … More DisneyBounding
I’m an addict. I’m not even sure what kind of addict I am exactly – a fantasy addict perhaps. Thankfully, it’s nothing deadly or expensive but it is a time-suck. I definitely have sympathy for more serious addicts because I have NO control over this stuff. It happens and I don’t see it coming. I didn’t see … More Where I’ve Been…
