Cleaning and organizing is front and center this week, which is pretty funny because I don't like to clean, and while I like things to be organized, they never seem to stay organized. I didn't think I was going to have much to Think Out Loud about this week, and then just a couple of days before this … Continue reading Zen Organizing: TOLT

Traveling trials & must haves: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud about travel today, because May will be/has been a month of traveling. Mainely ticks We spent a lot of our time pulling ticks off of Lola (and killing a few just crawling around) while we were in Maine. Apparently Maine is much more infested than New York and the rest of New England. … Continue reading Traveling trials & must haves: TOLT
It’s not a half without some drama: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud about my halfs today. Probably because I have one coming up in just a few days. I'd like to say I train well and then everything just goes smoothly on race day. There's no stress in training or during the race. And then I'd tell you I have this bridge to sell to … Continue reading It’s not a half without some drama: TOLT
Gone to the dogs, and cats, and rabbits: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud about animals today. Animals fascinate me; they always have. Sometimes I think I may have missed the boat -- it never even occurred to me to become a vet when I was a kid. Except I don't think that's my calling; you have to deal with the humans (the good, the bad, the … Continue reading Gone to the dogs, and cats, and rabbits: TOLT
A Failure as a Girl Scout: TOLT
That moment when you think you got a head start on something and you realize you really didn't? That's just one thing I'm Thinking Out Loud about today. The title refers to a Girl Scout and always being prepared -- clearly, I am not! Although I was a Girl Scout. Right up into High School. Blogger was really … Continue reading A Failure as a Girl Scout: TOLT
I’m a lucky girl: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud about all the good things in my life. It's all in your perspective. I was sitting here working on the computer yesterday when snap! The lights (and computer) went off. Which just reminded me of all the ways I'm so very lucky: We have a generator. It doesn't power the whole house, but … Continue reading I’m a lucky girl: TOLT
Forget downward “dog” . . . : TOLT
. . . .cats are good at yoga too -- especially savasana! I'm Thinking Out Loud about truly random things this thursday: writer's block, eyebrows, weight management, oh my! Creating the perfect eyebrow Ok, I don't know how to do that, you got me. But I did read this tip this week and wanted to share it. … Continue reading Forget downward “dog” . . . : TOLT
At least the days are getting longer: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud about how the days are getting longer, and I'm slowly getting my energy back. I like to joke that I'm solar powered. Sure, the weather has mostly sucked lately, but it's not really all that unusual for these parts. And sure, I'm as ready for Spring as the next runner. Sometimes you really just … Continue reading At least the days are getting longer: TOLT
Battling el Nino: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud pretty much totally randomly this week: wondering why I only saw 2 geese, why I hate repetitive tasks but will do the same workouts, and, of course, sharing furkid photos. Kind of a quiet week in CRJ land this week -- except for the wind! Holy Moly! Did you have to run in … Continue reading Battling el Nino: TOLT
If you could turn back time . . .: TOLT
. . . .would you? I'm Thinking Out Loud about going back in time, although there's always a tradeoff, isn't there? So many things in my life I love right now would not have been in my life back then. I've always been fascinated by time travel: I love the tv show "Quantum Leap" and "The Time Traveler's … Continue reading If you could turn back time . . .: TOLT
