As a marathon-week treat, I just consumed a “bow-tie” doughnut along with my regular breakfast. I’m a big fan of anything that involves white flour, sugar and grease. I know that only a small fraction of my diet this week should contain fat…but…oh, well. Starting next week, I need to get serious about watching weight [...]
In answer to your question, I’m not driving anyone particularly crazy this year. I feel much more blasé this year about the race, so I don’t have to drive these work people crazy–my old work people bore the brunt of that. I’ll be happy if I can cross the finish line. It’s pretty clear that I’ll [...]
I’m enjoying my salad. [How not to blog...start with lunch.] But really, blue cheese, slivered almonds, mango, apple, cranberries, and chicken? And also a bit of goat cheese that my co-worker contributed. That’s a good lunch.
After the 10 miles I blogged about yesterday, I cooked a lovely squash casserole. I intended to cook some red lentil [...]
I’m back after a few days away. R and I did the last 10 miles of the NY marathon course this morning. It’s the third time we’ve both done this run and it was the best. We both felt blase about the whole thing, which was exciting given that last year I stopped after about [...]
It’s not a very eventful day. I’ve taken tomorrow off to go see the mother and am looking forward to getting out of dodge.
I remembered another reason that I dislike my current (cheap, in a great neighborhood) apartment. Last night, when it was 57 degrees out, the heat went on. It was 80 degrees in [...]
I know that much has been written on this topic, but it was my first discussion with a friend of mine about her BABYSITTER! It may Take a Village to raise [blah, blah], but I don’t think it should require an entire neighborhood to spy on your caregiver.
Fr: I’m worried about what Nosy said.
Me: What [...]
Because I’m so lovely (or because Mr. Playboy T-shirt is not discerning) I had the following in my inbox this morning:
Dear Cranky: Hope you enjoyed our event at M1-5 Bar & Lounge on Monday. You haven’t logged on yet to tell us who you’d like to see again - but you’ve been picked. Want to [...]
10. I wasn’t meant to associate with the general public.
9. I wanted to come home to see Miss Pumpkin.
8. I’m always tired because of the marathon training.
7. Being out in public was killing me.
6. The pantyhose were killing me.
5. My “straight-up” gimlet didn’t come in a martini glass. For $8 I deserve better!
4. Gene Kelly [...]
People here seem to be enjoyed the 70-something degree weather. I’m not. I want fall.
I’m not so satisfied with my speed dating outfit, but I’m sure that it’ll be fine. Because I need to stay around after work hours, I’ll get a pedicure and then reluctantly put on pantyhose and boots at 7:15. Until then [...]
I don’t think I can resist taking a nap. I feel woozy.
My haircut turned out very well, thanks for asking. I asked for it to be a bit too short so I can wait three months to go back again. Before I went for the haircut, I went to AT Loft and bought two skirts [...]
