What are your dreams? What do you long to do, but don't have the time or money to do? What would it take for you to fulfill your dream? Hiking the Appalachian Trail is not actually my dream, although I'll get to that subject in a little bit. I'd love to climb Mount Kilimanjaro or … Continue reading Does the AT Call to You?: Spilling over tea/coffee August 2017

Where do we go from here?: Spilling over tea/coffee July 2017
Nope, we're not moving. Not yet. Not for quite a few years most likely. But we think about where we want to move to. But first it's been a long time since there was a Bandit update. Today I am joining up with Coco and Deborah for their ultimate coffee tea date. If we were enjoying high tea . … Continue reading Where do we go from here?: Spilling over tea/coffee July 2017
Searching for cute shoes: Spilling over tea/coffee June 2017
Cute and comfortable -- is that really too much to ask for? Today I am joining up with Coco and Deborah for their ultimate coffee tea date. If we were enjoying high tea . . . I'd tell you that there I was in TJMaxx last week, browsing through shoes (like I really need more shoes), when one woman came up … Continue reading Searching for cute shoes: Spilling over tea/coffee June 2017
Becoming our moms: Spilling over tea/coffee May 2017
Another month, another race in the books. It's been a very atypical year for me when it comes to racing! Technically a PR, because it was my first trail race, yet the slowest half marathon I've ever run. Today I am joining up with Coco and Deborah for their ultimate coffee tea date. If we were enjoying high tea . … Continue reading Becoming our moms: Spilling over tea/coffee May 2017
Superaging: Spilling over tea/coffee April 2017
Mostly I'm thinking about my last race today. Not so much in a "I should have done this" or "I should have done that" sort of way. More in a "I'm just kind of shocked" kind of way. Have I ever told you the story of my engagement to Mr. Judy? I don't remember (guess … Continue reading Superaging: Spilling over tea/coffee April 2017
Just call me bologna: Spilling over high tea March 2017
Just call me bologna. As in, the sandwich generation. Well, I don't have kids, but I do have the furkids and I seem to attract the needy ones. And of course I also have one big kid. Yes, still feeling a bit squeezed over here. According to my research, the average American will have consumed 1,500 PB&Js by … Continue reading Just call me bologna: Spilling over high tea March 2017
Finding the silver lining: Spilling over high tea February 2017
Do you know where the quote "every cloud has a sliver lining" came from? I didn't, so I looked it up. Don'tcha love google? Turns out it's a quote from John Milton. From the 1600s! That Milton's clouds were a thing. That it got changed to the quote we knew in the Victorian era. Who … Continue reading Finding the silver lining: Spilling over high tea February 2017
Cleaning up: Spilling over high tea January 2017
Hello 2017 (again -- we first said hello in last week's Weekly Wrap, which you can read here). I love a new year. A clean slate. A do-over. A chance to shake things up. Speaking of shaking things up, I didn't have a Friday Five ready today and I had other things on my plate … Continue reading Cleaning up: Spilling over high tea January 2017
One last state for 2016: Spilling over high tea December 2016
I truly cannot believe that this is the last time in 2016 that I will hold a nice warm cuppa in my two hands, pull up a seat, and let you know what's on my mind lately. I can't say that I will be sorry to see 2016 go -- it was a hard year … Continue reading One last state for 2016: Spilling over high tea December 2016
Juggling too many balls?: Spilling over high tea November 2016
Everything keeps sneaking up on me, including this post. I'd totally forgotten that it was this weekend. Shouldn't it have been last weekend when I went out for tea? If I were a juggler, I'd be dropping balls all over the place. Wait, Mr. Judy tried to teach me to juggle and I did drop … Continue reading Juggling too many balls?: Spilling over high tea November 2016
