A couple weeks ago I attended a conference in the same hotel as the 22nd Annual Hot Wheels Collectors Conference. They had an awesome car in the hotel lobby and a took a ton of really really poor quality pictures with my camera. I finally discovered a couple images that weren’t too terrible so I’m […]
The only thing I haven’t slacked on is eating. I slacked on blogging (except at my personal blog, where I posted loads of pictures of FOOD), I slacked on exercising (except for my mouth…which got a helluva workout eating everything that didn’t run away), and I slacked on writing (except for writing down my diabetic […]
Sad news for me. By not having the right pair of shoes before I started running I’ve done damage to my knees and heels. On Sunday after my last run my arch hurt to walk on it and is seriously inflamed. I went and got my foot professionally fitted and spent $275 on these beauties: […]

And my butt showed its infinite gratitude by swelling with […]
Sigh. I am so behind on my training. I’m wondering if maybe I should make my March goal a 10 K instead of a half-marathon? I didn’t even take the holidays and my writing deadline into account when I set this lofty goal. And now, I may be starting a part-time job. Am I a […]
I got an e-mail today informing me that a number of stores are going out of business (or closing stores in various locations) after January 1st. If you are planning on getting gift cards to any of these places, just be sure to do your homework and make sure they will be around! (also check […]
