Yee haw!

Before I begin this week’s post, I’d like to start with a little story. Way back in the days of high school, I didn’t like gym. Hard to believe that an exercise fanatic like me didn’t like gym, but there you are. I think it was because: 1. The dorky gym uniforms. Can someone say […]

Mr. Ken’s healthy eating adventure

August 26, 2015

21

Mr. Ken spent last week visiting his mother in South Carolina. Can we say grits anyone? Grits on their own wouldn’t be so bad; they’d probably be bland. But southern style grits call for the butter! He would call me every night to tell me about his day. Here’s an excerpt from one of our […]

Hangin’ out with Google

August 19, 2015

Do you hang out? I don’t think I ever just hung out, even when I was a teenager. Unless you count quietly reading a book all afternoon. I could never see the point of just sitting and doing nothing, even if I was in the company of good friends. Google, which will soon take over […]

Healthy eating or not?

Yet(!) another story from the life of Mr. Ken. Mr. Ken just got back from his daily walk. He yells up the stairs. On an aside here, what is it about spouses that feel compelled to carry on a long conversation when you are not in the same room with them, yet when you are […]

How I spent my summer vacation

This is how I spent my summer vacation. As you can see from the expression on my face, this isn’t the most fun thing I have ever done. 🙂 Notice the beautiful camouflage tarp in use under the car. This is what Mr. Ken bought when we had our adventure at the tool store. Originally, […]

Savor the moment

I am one week into a 21 Day Meditation program. The theme is gratitude. It is truly amazing how just 20 minutes of sitting quietly and thinking about gratitude can really change your life and your outlook. It certainly helped me. How many things have you agonized over, yet they never happened? A lot, I […]

Kermit the Kayaker

July 15, 2015

As most of you know, I love kayaking. I love it more than Peeps or even chipmunks. There is nothing like being outside in the sunshine and enjoying nature. Being on the water is so soothing. That being said, I have to be really, really careful in the sun. I spent my teenage years baking […]

Stop and sit awhile

Ah, the lazy days of summer. Even though it has been many, many years since I’ve been in school, I have never lost that wonderful feeling of summertime. The warm days and bright sunshine just makes things better. That being said, I still need to learn to stop and enjoy the day. I am juggling […]

Forgiveness

I am very blessed that I have the time to get deeper into my faith. I consider it a gift to be able to do so. Even with my deeper faith, I am still reeling over the terrible shooting in Charleston South Carolina. As our pastor said in church this morning, “This was pure evil. […]

Random thoughts on a day spent in Boston

June 10, 2015

Because of my consulting work, I have had to spend many days in Boston. I love going into the city. I have a whole fun routine for these days. I get up insanely early and exercise; I then take the train into Boston. I forgot a book this time, so I was doing a lot […]
