After the kids and I walked around Milwaukee after lunch, it was time to head back to the hotel and just rest.  I had about an hour and a half before I had to get ready before blog reader Kris came to pick me up.  The first hour, not gonna lie, was spent just laying in bed.  The last half hour I took a shower...

I woke up the morning of race day and I wasn’t nervous at all. I decided not to rock the boat on my food, so stuck with stuff I normally eat – I ended up getting a turkey sausage, egg white English muffin from the Starbucks in the lobby of my hotel, and grabbed a banana too.  The only thing I was nervous about was...

Eeeek!  I am so excited for this weekend I can’t even tell you.  I am excited not only for the race, but to meet up with some long time blog readers and friends.  I am hanging out with Jessica tonight, Kris tomorrow and Mel and Jory for brunch/lunch on Sunday. I was getting a bit nervous a couple days ago because I couldn’t find anything...

I had every intention of walking for 30 minutes before work, but that was before Red, Jacob’s dog, needed to go to the bathroom.  Usually in the morning it’s a quick out to pee and then he runs right back in and goes back to sleep.  Yesterday he seemed to be having some “issues” so he took about 10 minutes.  I thought about just ditching...

It was chilly yesterday morning, but since I wore my long sleeve shirt and sweatpants and socks to bed, all I had to do was throw my hair back in a ponytail (just fits!) put on my glasses and threw on a jacket and I was out the door.  For the record, I don’t think it’s required to put a bra on for walking around...

Jacob got a new job on Friday.  He was working at Home Depot, but it was a 30 minute drive from the house, and the hours were kind of crazy.  Now he’s working at Sherwin-Williams in the next town over, so I picked him up a steak to celebrate on Friday night.   Hannah and I had our signature ricotta cheese and spinach pizza, and we...

So, the mower isn’t working again.  Jacob tried for over an hour to get it going, but the battery seems dead, even though I just replaced it.  Both our neighbors on either side have already mowed their lawns this week so that makes ours look like trailer trash.  I can hear Tony saying “Biz, you need to take care of the lawn!” Well, I have...

I actually haven’t minded our cool mornings lately.  The only bad part about it is that I don’t want to get up in the morning because it is such perfect sleeping weather.  I woke up yesterday morning, grabbed my phone and saw this “Congratulations, you won the Illinois State Lottery!”  I won $6.  Jacob asked me what I would do if I won the lottery...

About a week ago, blog reader Jenn M. (hey Jenn!) posted on my Facebook wall that King Arthur flour had an everything bagel seasoning.  What?!  I clicked the link and saw this! But then I saw the price tag – $10!  So I decided to make my own.  I already had the poppy seeds and sesame seeds, so I bought dried garlic and yes. ....

It was a weird weather day yesterday.  Started out rainy, then threats of storms, then super cloudy then clear skies by the end of the day, only to get SUPER windy when I went to bed last night.  It was so awesome to be under all the covers and having that cold breeze coming in through the window.  I ended up making a spinach and...
