Hallo, Baltimore!

July 31, 2011

Jeff and I went up to Baltimore today to run an errand.  I know I may be biased, but can we all just stop a minute and talk about how gorgeous Baltimore is on a clear summer day?   I never get tired of the Inner Harbor waterfront!  Today was one of the most beautiful days to [...]

Callie, the Gershwins + some really tasty looking corn

July 30, 2011

So, I decided against running the Rock N’ Roll USA marathon next March.  As my cousin keenly pointed out to me, she reminded me how I felt like I got squishy from lots of running and not enough other types of exercise during marathon training.  Plus, I do have a wedding to plan, and I like my [...]

Should I or shouldn’t I?

July 29, 2011

Soooo, I got this email last week…. Apparently the National Marathon is now a member of Rock ‘n’ Roll family?  Remember my experience with the National Marathon?  Yeah, it was pretty good! So… I’m considering doing it all over again.  March 17, 2012. Why is it still just under consideration?  Well, I had a great [...]

Spent.

July 28, 2011

This week has left me SPENT. Happy! But spent. Callie is going in for surgery tomorrow.  Did I tell you about her tail?  She’s got a bump.  It’s not benign.  So, we’re going tomorrow to have the vet remove it and hope for the best.  If it’s worse than they think  right now, they might [...]

My first day

July 20, 2011

I mentioned once  a little while ago about how I was feeling like I wanted to start volunteering more.  They way I see it, I have the time to give back to the community at this part of my life, in the fact that I don’t have kids nor do I have a long commute.  [...]

my latest obsession

July 18, 2011

Carrot sticks are kind of my latest obsession.  Not baby carrots, carrot sticks. Did you know that what we generally refer to as “baby carrots” are not miniature carrots?  Nor are they young carrots?  They’re actually “baby-cut carrots” and they’re actually deformed carrot rejects, whittled down into cute nibbly nubs so that they can go to market [...]

Lazy Eggs

July 6, 2011

I’ve learned that the easier you make things on yourself, the more likely you are to do something.  For instance, my favorite type of exercise is group exercise because I love seeing my friends (and meeting new ones! Hi Laney!) at the gym.  So, getting to the gym for class is easier than going to work [...]

Thirty Books? And a GIVEAWAY!

July 4, 2011

Hello and Happy July 4th! If you are particularly astute on this, the 235th anniversary of American independence from the British, you may notice that The CHASE Project has a bit of a different look today!  Not drastic, but just enough to give it a fresh appearance and (to get all nerdy and technical) it’s [...]
