What’s Blooming today

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 [...]

Bagel Wednesday and tulip update

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 [...]

Saying bye to the garden and Hot 100 update

Laboring on Labor Day

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.  [...]

What’s blooming and where’s my hair?

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 [...]

Winter wonderland!

After breakfast and grocery shopping, it was time to start my work week

Da weekend and what’s blooming!

Yay!  It’s the weekend for me!  Still got up way too early.  I just cannot sleep in, no matter what time I go to bed.  Decided against the Y, since it was really nice out this morning.  Upper 50s, a little breezy and dry.  Perfect running weather.  I decided to go on a jog this [...]

What’s blooming today and Sunday eats!

Had a very active Friday and Sat – so today is rest day as usual.  For some crazy reason, John and I went jogging last night after a 15-mile bike ride earlier in the day.  I only did 2 miles (20:40) and he did 3.  My legs were kind of stiff from Friday’s strength workout [...]

What’s blooming and geekage

Did a short jog today for the first time since Monday.  I walked a mile and jogged a mile.  My legs feel fresh and fabulous!  Yay!  Came back for some Nutrigrain waffles and blueberries.

How  does a young,hip,modern, GenX couple eat breakfast?

Okay, we are nerds….

(and John better keep his hands out of [...]
