Finding Radiance

Wednesdays = long days.  Not all of it bad, though.  John and I have our usual breakfast out.  We went to North Country Cafe and I saw that they had eggnog scones.  Would *I* pass up the nog? I think not.  Nice thing is, the scones here are not overly sweet.  Since I detoxed sugar [...]

Woo Hoo!  The espresso machine arrived 2 days early!  Yay!  I guess the shipping was caffeinated or something.  I was going to do posting like usual, but this is most exciting This is the Saeco Sirenza.  They used to be sold at Starbucks as the home barista machine.  In fact, the pressure dial says Starbucks [...]

Last night we finished the workshops for literacy tutor training! It ended up as a family affair. My mother and I went the full sessions, and then the last session last night,  John came for the math tutoring (he didn’t need all the reading stuff). He has to go for one more training class on [...]

Woke up to a rainy, dreary day.  I slept until 7, which is pretty late for me!  Felt like a nice warm bowl of oats.  Gingerbread oats, to be exact! With a wee bit of fluff Then we packed up some old computer stuff to recycle at Best Buy.  Then it was off to get [...]

It’s a beautiful morning!  Sing it!  Actually, it is very nice today.  Still a little cool, but the sunshine is out!  It feels good to be done (pretty much) with the real estate deal.  It’s funny, but whenever a firetruck would go blaring by in the direction of my old property, I always had a [...]

It’s Sunday and back to work for me… sigh… The weekend goes all too fast.  We headed on down to Saratoga for a different bagel today. It has such a nice atmosphere inside: John and I both got the same banana nut bagel today with honey walnut cream cheese! Got home and worked, worked, worked!  [...]

Thanks for the comments on me and my sis!  She is the older one, btw , but only by 14 months.  Regarding yesterday’s run.  I had planned on 6 miles, so that is why I went to the gym to finish up the run.  I tend to be quite disciplined with my exercise (unlike my [...]

Had a great treadmill run today.  5 miles of increasing speed up to 7.0!  I was sweating like crazy and loving every minute.  Exercise is such a great stress buster, don’t you think? I spoke with the gym owner this morning, as I hadn’t seen him since last Monday and offered my condolences on his [...]

You know how yesterday I was saying how I didn’t get anything done? Today was a whole nuther ballgame!  I was raining when I got up (Hello Ida remnants), so I had to wait a bit until my gym opened up at 8am.  I had a Zone bar for a preworkout snackie.  Then off to [...]

John and I met my mother for breakfast this morning.  No workout today.  I am taking it easy for my back.  We met at Cafe on The Park: Tiny place with a maximum occupancy of 27, but I don’t know where that many people would fit!  The prices are so low here, it’s crazy.  I [...]
