Waiting on the World to Change…
Maybe you will get more blog posts from me now that TV is nothing but reruns? That was rhetorical.

Go ahead, mock my prepardness!
1. No one is laughing at my prepardness for Bird Flu now.
2. A generator is only good if you have gas to run it. We were too lazy to go wait in line and then figure out how to hook it up. We would have hooked it up today if our power […]

Motivation Miracle
So I’ve not been running. I’ve gone to the gym a few times but have not been very committed to my exercise routine. I’ve been immersed in the holidays. And honestly, I’ve never been good at being obsessed with more then one thing at once.
