Tim and I had a great weekend together.  We made it to the gym on Saturday (did my arm weights and Precor), got some delicious lunch at Bier Stube (crispy chicken salad with Guiness), then went shopping.  I am tired of my dowdy loafers and quested for something more stylish.  We stopped at Marshalls, which was insanely busy, but found nothing. We hopped over to Starbucks to take their Via Challenge.  Starbucks is selling instant coffee, Via, and if you do a taste test, you can get a free cup of coffee. Tim and I did the challenge and immediately knew which the real coffee was.  I wish Starbucks... [Read the full story]

Excuses

So, I know it’s been f o r e v e r since I’ve posted anything.  My excuses are multiple, but really it boils down to me being lazy.  Just for your edification, though, I’m going to enumerate the reasons (outside of sheer laziness) for my lack of posting. 1.  First and foremost, my lovely red Dell XPS 1330 got stolen.  We replaced it quickly with a Samsung NC20 netbook.  When we were contemplating purchasing a netbook, Tim wisely cautioned me about taking such a drastic step downward in terms of a quality laptop.  I was sure that a netbook would meet my needs serviceably... [Read the full story]

I shall overcome!

You know what makes for a discouraging beginning to a run?  Three things – brand new running pants that shrunk 2 inches in the dryer, ankle socks that have lost their elasticity, and underwear that refuses to stay centered over both cheeks.  Super, super annoying. But, despite the aforementioned, I STILL made it out tonight.  Laura and I got home a little later than usual because we picked up some super good deals at Returned Goods after work.  When we got home, Tim was just starting chili for supper, so I figured I had time to go out.  Plus, the weather was actually decent (and not... [Read the full story]

Catching Up

Wow, so I haven’t posted in two weeks.  I am a bad, bad, turrble person.  Well, I’m getting back on the wagon this morning. I’m sure all the regular readers of this blog (if any exist, that is) have been sitting on the edge of their seats for two weeks, wondering, “Did she run in Chapel Hill...

Killer Bee

So, I admit it, we didn’t do the Killer Bee 5K on Saturday.  Tim and I really wanted to complete our race trifecta, but Tim didn’t get home from his bus trip until after 1AM, and I stayed up until 12AM waiting for him.  So, between the lack of sleep and the frigid temps, we decided to forego the run. ...
