Miss Me Yet?

Hello my friends! Greetings from a screened in back patio with jacuzzi and pool in Florida! If you don't remember, this weekend (aka tomorrow) is the Disney Princess Halfie me and the sister are doing as part of my birthday celebration! Don't worry, I brought my computer and ALL of my homework with me so no time would be wasted but just wanted to pop in and say hello. We got into town last night after a very long and irritating day of travel but none of that mattered today. It was gorgeous out, we're staying in an amazing condo, I'm test driving a Mazda 3 which I was considering buying soon anyway and it was time for the Fit for a Princess Expo! Don't worry, you'll get a Florida in Photos post eventually immediately following the race but I just can't say enough about how much fun we had at the expo. Stay tuned for all of that fun and a photo or two of us with (does anyone here watch The Biggest Loser?) Ali Vincent, The Biggest Loser's first female winner! I don't watch the show at all anymore but used to watch from time to time so I know who she is. Autumn however is a HUGE fan and was first in line (thanks to me) for a meet and greet! More to come but I won't give any spoilers, not to mention my birthday is on Monday!

What are you up to this weekend?

Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure 10K Race Recap

Wow, what a title right? Although I also could have titled it the greatest race of my life. Wanna know why? Yeah I thought you might. The week leading up to the race wasn't a great one. Stress at work, general grumpiness etc. etc. etc. So I really wasn't expecting much as far as performance but I wanted to get a 10K in really badly before the marathon relay this Saturday so I thought What the hell and signed up. The atmosphere at Komen events is like none other. Pink everywhere and people....so...many...people. For someone who hates crowds (i.e. ME) there are few things that will lure me to a crowded place. Races just tend to be one of those things. Anyway, there was a great survivors parade and all kinds of booths and music and general funness. What there wasn't plenty of was parking. Which I guess is the norm for an event of this caliber. Survivors' Parade Great Ladies I never got the chance to meet... Seriously packed at the start! Autumn Alexis, The Colonel and I g...

Rennay, Julie & Julia

Today I watched Julie & Julia (thanks Redbox !) and it was really good. If you haven't seen it, watch it. Anyhow, it really made me think about my life and blogging and cooking and all. So at this moment, I vow to be a better blogger...although as of right now I'm the only one affected by this decision.  Not that I think I'm terribly interesting, a very good writer or someone with things worth saying, however, I do think I have things that I want to say and if someone finds those things interesting...well that's just great. I recall asking my mom and other people pretty regularly, "What's wrong with me?" and/or "Why am I such a weirdo?" Lately it has been occurring to me that maybe I'm not a weirdo and that I'm just different. I'm a vegetarian, I love to read, I'm a foster parent to unwanted animals and I volunteer with middle schoolers for at least 4 months out of the year coaching speech and drama. I've graduated colleg...

The End of an Era

Almost exactly one year ago I decided that I was tired of being fat and sad. I was tired of crying in dressing rooms...and in my bedroom...and in the shower...and in the living room...and in my car...and...well, you get the picture. I decided that I was going to start exercising again. Before I continue what will be a very long (you've been warned) post, let me just mention that I make a lot of assumptions of my readers. I assume that people who read this actually know me in real life and therefore know a few things about me. I assume you all know the following, and if you don't already know, now you will: I was naturally skinny my entire life until the age of 22. I'd been relatively active throughout my life even though I lived for a year off of doritos and easy mac. I've run a half and full marathon. I went from being around 145lbs to probably 220lbs in the span of roughly 15 months. I've battled severe depression for a large portion of my life. I'm...
