On Sunday, I ran the 19th annual Urban Cow Half Marathon. If I am honest: I am still riding this post-race high. I can’t believe how perfect this race went for me. I hadn’t been able to participate in a few years (because of travel and COVID), but it’s a...

I can’t believe I am able to say this but (most of) the ugly, broken kitchen tiles are finally gone. Good riddance! I feel like we’ve been dealing with this f-o-r-e-v-e-r! And thank you to all of you who have supported me emotionally and commiserated with me along the way. And...

1. Yes, it’s finally back for the holidays. I fell in love with Trader Joe’s Gingerbread Coffee a couple of years ago. It’s only around for the holidays and I am so excited to be able to have it again for the next few weeks! I might have to stock...

1.) I have been so patiently waiting for this album… four whole years. Finally, Pearl Jam came out with their tenth studio album “Lightning Bolt” and of course, I had to own it on CD. I have all their CDs and I’ll collect all their physical CDs until they stop...

1.) In case you haven’t noticed – haha! – I have a slight obsession with the Red Sox right now. This is not new, it just comes out every year during baseball season. I am so excited that they made it to the Play Offs. Will you be watching? 2.)...
