Finding Radiance

Well, we are off to see the mouse!  Pixie has to stay behind and have a sitter, as does the house.   I am bringing my netbook with me as I have to upload my paysheet for work this week, so I might post if we are relaxing.  I also have the flourless chocolate cookie [...]

Welcome Friday. Welcome, welcome – I am so glad it is the end of the week.   It was soooooo cold overnight.  We dipped down to the upper 30s  That won’t stop me from biking just yet, though.  It was 42 when we got up, so still good to go.  Just needed to bundle up. [...]

Garden Time!  Woo Hoo!  I am completely wiped out from this week.  I am not used to 10 and 12 hour days and am taking a break from taking photos of food.  Not that what I am eating is very exciting in the last couple of days.  Thankfully John is home now and life can [...]

Welcome to What’s Blooming this week!  I am off to my Becoming an Outdoors woman today. Hopefully a dry outdoors woman. A wet and rainy blooming time this week.  Rain drops always make for some nice shots. This is the giant clematis climbing up our porch. It’s called heliopsis and these will open into yellow [...]

Thank you Friday! I don’t know about all of you, but I am ready for it!  Thanks so much for your comments on my running dilemma.  It’s nice to know I am not alone with that.  I probably won’t run much anymore, but then again, I keep saying that and then I go do it [...]

Thank you all for you comments on our renovation project!  I actually do enjoy renovations and I would still be doing them for a living if the mortgage market for investors didn’t go belly up. Just an FYI – here is a shot showing you the proximity of the pantry to the kitchen (and our [...]

Rainy and dreary today, which meant no biking to bagels this morning. I frowned at this last remnant of snow on the north side of our garage. Go away! I did some treadmill walking before starting out.  The gym was totally empty when I first got there because the early young guys are on spring [...]

I took a day off blogging yesterday! I didn’t have anything interesting to say, really, and I worked,so figured I would just not post. Today is also work day for me, but I get paid a little extra My gym was open today, but open later.   I, however, was up at my usual time.  [...]

Weekend!  Yahoo!  I slept in until about 6:50 before I was unable to keep my eyes closed anymore.  It was raining when I got up, too, so I drove to the gym.  I did a warm up on the treadmill (I got it up to 3.5 mph!!!) Exercise Set/rep/weight Muscle worked Barbell straight leg deadlift [...]
