Some Revolution

I thought having a bitchy outgoing message would take care of Ms. Leave Four Messages Thinking I’m Avoiding Her.

But really it’s just making me want to have my phone very close with me at the ready to pick it up immediately since said outgoing message is so bitchy.

Ug.

I’ve been listening to Bridgette [...]

Writer's High

I just submitted an essay – a little piece – to Runner’s World about how my kids coined the term Shogger (shuffle + jogger) to describe how I run.

I feel great… I wrote an essay and submitted it! I’m back in the writing world.

Reverse Online Marketing

Long ago I heard about teens who are paid or rewarded by corporations to plug the company’s products online. So the teens casually mention that they use this or that product on various blogs or boards.

Here’s my reverse of that. These are places and products I will never be associated with.

- McDonald’s, Burger [...]

10-Mile Mama

That’s right!

This morning I ran 10 miles. Took me 1:47, which is in line with my usual 5-6 miles per hour pace.

The kids say I shog. That’s a shuffle and a jog. I’m darned proud of it.

On December 2nd of last year, I huffed and puffed half a mile. 4 months later, [...]

People Will Forget

Great quote I just read on a neighbor’s email:

“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” ~Maya Angelou

I’m so incredibly conscious lately about the “what I did” part. It’s weighing on me very deeply. I’d like to think Angelou is [...]

Traffic School

I got a ticket a month ago and I’m doing an online traffic school to avoid getting a punch on my traffic record. What I’m experiencing here is that I just can’t manage to read the print… for example, I just re-read, “Railroad crossing: White pavement markings indicate a railroad crossing ahead with a large [...]

Day in the Park

Today the kids and I went to a birthday part in San Luis Obispo. What a beautiful time! It was nice seeing friends – old and new.

I’ve been eating raw food for a couple of weeks now, except I had pumpkin pie at Gianna’s birthday and some vegan wraps today. My body is just [...]

It can get very graphic and strange… people very very [...]

Vibram in the News

My favorite shoes in my life, the ones that feel like I’m barefoot and empower my feet to use the muscles they’re supposed to use, were in the news last week. Well, not my particular pair. Here’s the piece in the Chronicle’s SFGate.com. I wear them all the time and just wash them in the [...]
