Procrastination

If there is one thing I’m really good at, it’s procrastination. I was telling someone today about how I’m struggling to hang in there for November’s NaBloPoMo, but I’m no quitter and I’m far too competitive (mostly with myself) to give up. I’m realizing it’s a lot of writing, which probably wouldn’t be quite so […]

Charity Miles – How to Give to a Worthy Cause While Exercising

Ever since getting my Samsung Galaxy S4 mobile phone earlier this year I’ve been having a lot of fun getting to know my new device and I’ve especially been enjoying the apps and features it has to offer. At nearly the same time I got my new phone, I also started running  on a more […]

#NaBloPoMo – What Writing a Blog Post Every Single Day Has Taught Me

I’m feeling a little tired tonight, but I made a commitment to myself for November’s NaBloPoMo and I simply will not allow myself to give up now. I’ve attempted to write regularly in the past and failed miserably, so the fact I’ve stuck with this challenge for the past ten days is something I’m a […]

Walt Disney World, Autism and Why I’m Nervous About Our Next Visit

We are in full-blown countdown mode until our next trip to Walt Disney World. We hop a plane in just 10 short days and while we are all super excited to go to our favorite place on Earth, I of course have a long list of things to do before we leave, which adds just […]

I Bought an iPad Mini, But so Far All I’ve Done is Harass Siri

I’ve had an iPad for the past three years. I should be more specific. I’ve a first generation iPad for the past three years, until today. I finally saw a deal I couldn’t resist and decided to break up with my classic edition of Apple’s first tablet and upgrade to a much newer model. The […]

Yoga Knee Pain & Is Yoga a Good Cross Training Option for Runners?

Now that I’ve started running on a regular basis because I’m training for my first half marathon at the beginning of 2014 I’ve been trying to find workout options for non-training days. The recommendation is to cross-train and history has taught me that I need to do something other than just walking on those days […]

What’s in Your DVR? Here’s a Peek at Mine!

I need to give myself a pat on the back. I’m seven days into November’s NaBloPoMo and still going strong. I think I’ll high-five my right hand with my left hand because I’m feeling so pleased with myself. Okay, now that I’m done bragging I’ll admit to drawing a bit of blank when I sat […]

What I Would Do With a Million Dollars – NaBloPoMo Day 1

I’ve made several attempts in the past to get better at blogging. By better I mean posting more regularly, but I also mean that I would like to improve my writing skills. In an attempt to stay motivated and hold myself accountable, so to speak, I signed up for BlogHer’s NaBloPoMo, with the ultimate goal […]

National Blog Posting Month – I flunked

I was doing well with the challenge of NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month). Maybe I wasn’t writing long posts filled with hundreds of words every single day, but I made it a priority just the same. Then I went away for the weekend with my family. Sometimes visiting and spending time with my family and favorite […]
