Too Much Talking
I’ve been talking for about 12 hours straight, and I’m sick of my voice/thoughts.

Today’s intensity was in the form of 400 meter runs and wall ball shots (squatting with … Continue reading »
Orange you glad it’s Friday?
It’s 1:06pm and I’m home from work! Whohoo! It was a grading day, and I finished my grading last night, so this morning I organized, planned, and skedaddled out of there by lunchtime. Before work this morning, I went for a lovely run with the dog and the sunrise. To refuel and break the fast, … Continue reading »
Sweet Anticipation
I love Thursdays – the anticipation of the weekend is so sweet. Made even sweeter by the fact that tomorrow is a grading day for me – which means no students and the extra bonus is that I already finished all my grading, so I can spend the day organizing and be out by lunchtime. … Continue reading »
