Barbeque and Borders

September 3, 2011

Today’s plans originally called for 9am BODYPUMP followed by engagement photos with a friend who is also a wedding photographer. BODYPUMP happened, but the photos didn’t. The weather looked like this. And my eye looked like this. I’m not sure if you can tell (I know I can) but my eye was itchy and red [...]

Life without Borders

September 2, 2011

(The title to this post sounds a lot more prophetic than it actually is, ha!) It’s just that Borders is going out of business. I love a good deal so as soon as I got off work today at 3pm, I convinced Jeff that heading over to check out the sales at Borders was [...]

Book Review – She’s Come Undone

August 11, 2011

I finished reading She’s Come Undone by Wally Lamb on Monday. At the end, I was glad to have made it through the almost 500 pages, and whereas I didn’t hate the book, it didn’t rock my world either. Spoiler alert… Click to continue.

My 7 Links

August 4, 2011

The other day, Lisa tagged me in the 7 Links “chain-letter” that’s been going around. I usually don’t play along with these sorts of things, but this time I thought that I would because there are some great, old posts from both The CHASE Project and my first blog, Thirty Books, that I think you might enjoy.

Weekly Roundup

July 8, 2011

Wheeeee! It’s Friday! I’m hoping you had a delightful week indeed! My highlights for this week, in no particular order: 1) Having an RPM class this morning with only 4 bikes left (23 out of 27) at SIX O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING. ON A FRIDAY. DURING THE SUMMER! You see, in the world of Group Fitness, Summer [...]

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 [...]

Book three oh!

December 10, 2010

I selected book #30! “I heard the comment in passing, approximately eight miles into the Twin Cities Marathon. ‘To think,’ said a woman spectator, ‘they paid to do this.’ Her comment floated out of the crowd, but by the time I turned to look, my stride had carried me past where she stood beside the course.” [...]

Slackin’ on the recaps

November 28, 2010

I haven’t actually recapped the last few books I’ve read. So I’m going to do a quick one here. [note: I hate it when people say, "Give me the Readers Digest version." Yes, you are dating yourself by saying that and no, I've never subscribed to Reader's Digest so I don't actually know what that [...]

Waah Waah Waah

November 18, 2010

Just a couple weeks of my 20′s left. Suffice it to say, I’ve been doing a lot of this: I call it, “Huntin’ for grays” It’s an original. You can order a print (framed or unframed) for the low, low price of $19.99. But seriously. I’m starting to come to terms with my eventual aging [...]

Election Day.

November 2, 2010

It’s Election Day and here’s what I have to say about it: I actually don’t care who wins. No, I’m not apathetic about politics; I just believe that our government always has a way of righting itself when things to awry. Whether we have a Republican or a Democrat or a The Rent is Too Damn High in [...]
