So the morning after my wallet pain I woke up to the Big Lots weekly circular in my inbox. Guess what’s on sale in Southern California this week? Curtain rod look familiar? You may remember I lust after: *Image borrowed from someone who clearly has WAY more discipline then I do. I’d probably be a […]
Um…happy birthday to me. I talked my mom into paying for two race registrations for my May birthday gift. She thinks I’m nuts (and I think I’m nuts) but I feel kinda good about it. My financial adventures started lightly. The numbers weren’t bad and the race price goes up this weekend so I had to lock in […]
So I recruited a girlfriend to go to Zumba with me last night and we had the best time! It was much easier this time around. I’m not sure if that’s because I had done it already or because I had a bottle couple of glasses of wine before I went. Either way, I had […]
I spent most of today on my butt. First I went to a real estate tax lien auction (did you know you could buy timeshares at county tax lien auctions? I didn’t!) And let me tell you that was all kinds of fun. I drove 90 miles to get to the auction on time only to […]

I would like to send out a big shout to the makers of Dreyer’s ice cream. Last night I ran into the local 7-11 after my workout desperate for water and mistakenly passed the freezer section. This little gem <—————————————– called to me like a dockside hooker beckons sailors. Like so many sea-faring men before […]
I think I broke through my plateau this week! I lost the 1.5 lbs I wanted to! I’m so stoked. Was it changing up my routine? Was it the extra Green Tea? Was it the flaxseed? A combo of all of the above? Who knows…I’m just stoked that I finally broke free. I think it […]
I was whining talking to HZ on the phone today as I walking towards my beach path in preparation for my workout. As I got to the top of the stairs of the retaining wall I saw: Yes, that’s a race (or the tail end of it). My first thought? There is a race here and I […]
