To say that I’m “goal oriented” is a horrid, awful understatement. Without clearly defined, publicly documented goals and/or mortifying public consequences for not achieving said goals, I just sort of coast. The last time I really exercised was the Washington, D.C. Avon Walk. In 2008. I’m just not one of those people who likes to [...]

Ahem. Do I look any older today? Any wiser, perhaps? You may notice that I have a new banner up at the top there, which is all thanks to my awesome sister, who is much better at that sort of thing than I am. But that’s not what I’m talking about. This is my ONE [...]

And just like that, my 20s are over. Man, what an awesome decade. I’m going to try to do a recap of all my 20s birthdays and hit the highlights of some of the incredible things I’ve had the opportunity to do in the last ten years. I’m old, though, so I might not remember [...]

Happy New Year! I trust that you all had a good, safe, happy, Guitar Hero-filled holiday season. I’ve been trying to think of something brilliant to say about 2008, but having come up with nothing, here’s a list of what I did with those 52 weeks. items returned to Target: at least 30 (and I’ve [...]

The personal training company that trained me for the first Avon Walk, I’ve just realized, has been charging me for training sessions almost every month since last March. They were supposed to stop last December, and when I didn’t get charged in January, I thought it was over. And then the little description bit on [...]

I have some more photos on the PinkBerry, but I haven’t figured out yet how to get them onto the computer, so for now, here are some pictures that my sister took around either mile 14.5 or mile 16. This first one was taken from across the street. And yes, at the first sight of [...]

Here it is, friends! I am proud to introduce you to… THE STIFF FIVE Imagine, if you will (Whitney won’t), two 73-year-old politicians who have never been particularly “cool” in their lives. They’ve just won a highly competitive team Parcheesi tournament, however, and they are super stoked about it. So stoked are they, in fact, [...]

I wanted to give you an update on the walk even though I don’t have any pictures to share yet. First of all, I made a walking skirt, and I customized my Rack Pack shirt for Saturday’s walk, and no less than fifteen women stopped me to comment on one or the other. It was [...]

Well, now that you know I’ve finished my fundraising (!!!), I guess I don’t need to tell you that the crock-pot cook-off was rather a success. But I’ll tell you anyway. First of all, it was a lot of fun. Once we got there and stopped planning/preparing, when we could just enjoy the company and [...]
