Doors closing and opening

December 17, 2014

Believe it or not, I didn’t spend much time with my new smartphone this week, so I don’t have any tales to tell. I wanted to post some pictures I had taken with the phone, but I got intimidated by the confusing directions, so the pictures will have to wait. I have been busy finishing […]

What really happens in barre class

November 5, 2014

I made it through my first live barre class and I was excited to go back for more. Here’s what really happens in a barre class. 1. Time stands still. I am most definitely a morning person, but the morning classes were full, so I had to bite the bullet and take an evening class. […]

Nancy’s barre debut

October 29, 2014

That is barre NOT bar. For those of you who aren’t as obsessed, er interested in barre, you may not know what it is. Barre is a combination of ballet, yoga, pilates and stretching. It is named after the ballet barre that is used in most exercises. So I went to my first live barre […]

How do you know when it’s time for a change?

September 17, 2014

Change is hard and it is scary. But it can also be exhilarating. I got to thinking about this as I change my exercise rotation. I’ve had a very successful run at doing barre (ballet-type) exercises. I think it’s time for a change though and so I’ve been doing P90X3. (Which stands for Power 90 […]

A day in the life of Mr. Ken

September 3, 2014

I have shared with you what my typical day is like, What is your perfect day? Now I thought I would share what my dear husband’s day is like. 6:00 AM — Wake up and go for a walk. Now dear Mr. Ken is not really a morning person, so this was quite a surprise […]

Is it luck or is it something else?

August 27, 2014

I’ll admit it, I am envious of people I consider to be lucky. Everything seems to go their way. They have the perfect job, the perfect family and the perfect life. Well, not really, since you never know what other people are facing. I have started using Facebook to follow and interact with my favorite […]

Rocks under the water

August 20, 2014

We’ve had an awesome kayaking season this year; the weather has been great and the temperatures very comfortable. The cooler temperatures are a very good thing since I wear long sleeved SPF-50 shirts and they can be pretty uncomfortable when it gets hotter. We’ve mainly kayaked on the Charles River. Every time we go there, […]

Expensive doesn’t always mean better

August 13, 2014

Sure, if you shop at high end stores like Nordstrom’s and Tiffany’s, you expect good service, but you don’t have to break the bank to get this kind of service. My new favorite store is Ocean State Job Lot. These are like Dollar Stores, where everything is pretty cheap. I love this store almost as […]

More adventures in healthy eating

August 6, 2014

I am inspired by this healthy eating kick. So I went to Trader Joes and bought: – avocado – sea salt – refried beans – organic spinach – organic low fat yogurt. I have a half-baked idea that I will blend all of these items together to make a healthy something. 1. Avocado. Avocado has […]

Adventures in healthy eating

July 30, 2014

I am on a constant quest to eat healthy. Alas, it is not easy, given the siren call of Dairy Queen Blizzards and my new favorite indulgence, salted caramel frozen yogurt. But I try. I am excited to receive some pretty interesting food products for review on Amazon. I am having a blast trying them […]
