I don’t know what took me so long to watch my Tivo’d episode of The Bachelor special, Molly & Jason’s Wedding. I almost avoided watching it because I felt no interest in either of them. I was annoyed with the whole way that season went down. Jason was a jerk. Molly was the mean girl. […]

I am watching the 20/20 special on The Bachelor and am feeling completely justified in my obsession with this show. Even celebrities like Ellen Degeneres and Kelly Ripa love The Bachelor. And how could they not? It’s a real life soap opera! The show has even spawned some highly successful blogs detailing the ins and […]

I have been reading The Dating Optimist’s blog today and I think it is changing the way I go about my daily routine. I’m now looking for the optimistic aspects of just about everything! In tonight’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy, for example, on his first day in charge of Seattle Grace, Dr. Shepherd wonders how […]

With my new goal to focus more attention on this blog, I am realizing that the benefit of such a task is the constant searching for topics to write about. I am finding myself both more observant of my surroundings and more curious. Yesterday, while wandering the aisles of Barnes & Noble, I noticed a […]

As I mentioned yesterday, I am reading Gretchen Rubin’s THE HAPPINESS PROJECT and loving it! One idea that hit me as particularly poignant was something she has mentioned on her blog, as well. You have the ability to change the way you see and react to things in your life. Gretchen writes, “Studies show that […]

Loving this book, The Happiness Project! I was reading on Gretchen Rubin’s website, The Happiness Project, about this month’s focus being ENERGY. Because I have recently mentioned my passion for running, I think it is a nice segue into Gretchen’s energy focus for January. Energy is crucial in tackling all aspects of life and exercise […]

Last night my dinner with friends brought us to Chinatown in Boston. We tried very hard to have “authentic” Chinese food and not the Americanized version. I am partial to the American version of Chinese food. I like my lo mein, fried rice and chicken fingers. What can I say, I’m a purist. But one […]
[Continue reading...]The Power of a Run
I fully credit my elevated mood with the kick ass run I accomplished today. As I posted yesterday, I have been feeling a bit down in the dumps. Well, today I laced up my sneakers and hit the ground running (sadly, I think I’ve used that pun before…eesh!) and I am feeling on top of […]

Three blog posts in one day! Hopefully this is a sign of consistency to come! I didn’t run yesterday or today and am feeling it! Not physically, actually my heel has been hurting a little so it feels good to give it a little rest, but emotionally and psychologically. It’s amazing how running has turned […]

I know, I know..two posts in a row, no pictures. I’m sorry! I’m just not in a tech-y mood. I don’t feel like uploading pictures, formatting the post so that it looks “just right.” I’m in a pull the covers over your head and pray for a good chick flick on tv because there is […]

I feel so badly that I haven’t posted here in forever. Unfortunately, I have been spreading myself way too thin and doing about a million things at once. Sadly, this is the spot that seems to have suffered the most. I promise I will be back to regular blogging soon!

Lunch just got a whole lot cuter! I just received these unbelievably adorable bento boxes from Mod Cloth!

I am a product junkie. I am always looking for the “miracle” product that is going to give me Gisele Bundchen’s complexion. I am learning, slowly but surely, that there really is no such thing as a miracle product and what works for one person, may not work for another. I have become a fan […]
