Friday 5: Finally!

TGIF

My week has been crazy! How about you? I’ve had a week full of jam packed, long days of work. Boy am I glad it’s Friday! I’m not sure what is going on in this image, but it sums up my feelings pretty well: On to the Friday 5. Things I’m loving right now. 1….

White Flint: A Day in the Life

weddingshoes

Pin It I know I wonder what some of you do on any given day. Here’s a glimpse into a pretty typical Saturday for me. Brunch and errands around the neighborhood. It’s technically Rockville, but getting rebranded as North Bethesda. I tend to refer to it as White Flint, since that’s the metro stop (and…

8 Tips for Preventing Winter Blahs

TICKLEBEAR-WINTER_DELIGHT

I don’t know about you, but winter after January 1 just seems a bit blah. Winter seems exciting and appropriate in December with all the holiday decorations and fantasies of a white christmas. Then comes January and February, and winter no longer seems as fun. For me, it’s not an issue of the cold, it’s…

2012 = MINDFULNESS

s-NEW-YEARS-RESOLUTIONS-large300

January 1, 2012 is drawing to a close. (source) I’ve spent some time today reading others’ reviews of 2011 and grand plans for 2012. I have to admit, January 1 has never felt like some great line of demarcation for me. I’ve never been a great resolution-er (if for no other reason than I have a short attention…

Inspiration in the Office

I spend an awful lot of time at work. I dare say I spend more hours in the office than I do at home (definitely waking hours at least). I’m sure many of you do too. Therefore it’s important that your office space be visually pleasing and have everything you need to be productive. This is…

Friday 5: Holly Jolly Edition

Can I just say how much I love December? I am in a FanTastic mood this evening. Here’s why: 1. Festive Decorations. Take a look at what I’m enjoying in my living room. It’s our first real live fir tree! We can’t get a full size one because we don’t have space, and the dogs…

When a PR Isn’t the Point

I’m embarassed to say that I’ve been battling self pity the past few days. I’ve been angry that a minor bug derailed my training plans. Why did I have to get sick NOW? Why didn’t I push myself harder before the illness struck? Why have I regularly given in to all the treats of the…

Friday 5: Man, Am I Glad To Be Home!

Greetings! This post is late this morning due to a late night involving a cancelled flight. I don’t know how frequent business travellers do it! Here’s this week’s Friday 5 of things I’m loving/grateful for right now. (source) 1. My Bed. I got home at close to 11pm last night, and have never been more…

Friday 5: Veteran’s Day Edition

SAMSUNG

Happy Veteran’s Day everyone! I am fortunate to have the day off. Unlike Columbus Day (which I also get off), today actually means something! I couldn’t let today pass by without acknowledging the sacrifices our military and their families make every day. So here’s my Friday 5: 1. Taryn Davis & the American Widow Project….

Friday 5: Leisurely Morning, New Outfit, Runners World

It’s FRIDAY! Everyone’s favorite day of the work week. Here are five things bringing me joy today. 1. Leisurely Mornings. I don’t know about you, but pre-alarm wakeups rarely happen for me. Yet today I woke up at 5:30 totally refreshed. This is giving me some extra time to get my day started. My blog post…
