A half to remember

     
 I did it!  My first half marathon.    I definitely chose a great one for my first.  Boston’s Run to Remember is a 5 mile race and a half marathon that began three years ago as a way of remembering Boston Police officers who have been killed in the line of duty.  Proceeds are donated [...]

A creature of habit

As I was making out my grocery list the other day, I realized that I was doing it from memory.  I try to be adventurous and have some variety in my life but when it comes to food, I have a tendency to be repetitive.  It’s not that I’m opposed to trying new things.  It’s just [...]

Fenway Fun

 
I’m so happy that baseball season is here again.  I just love it.  I love watching on TV, I love going to games.  It just screams summer to me.  Except, of course, when I freeze my arse off sitting in the stands, which is what I have done both of the times I’ve been to [...]

Add another 11.8 to the books!

Teddy just turned 1!  I can hardly believe it.  I feel like we just got [...]

Frustration!

Today was quite a day.  It was my last day at my current job.  It felt completely surreal.  I still don’t think it has sunk in that I don’t work there anymore.  I almost felt like I was leaving for vacation.  I’m sure it will hit home on Monday when I start my new job [...]
