There are things I’ve neglected to tell you. I got too wrapped up in the Around It Goes Giveaway (have you entered yet?). Or maybe it’s because the only thing I can think about is The Hunger Games. Remember in the first book when Katniss is spending her first few days in the arena and [...]

I have a pretty friend named Katherine. Sometimes, we attend wine tastings together. I like this friend of mine. And it’s not just because we have matching skinned knees. We can’t all be as graceful as a prima ballerina. Anyway, what do you think of the digs Kat’s sporting? Because you can have them. Katherine [...]

Many have asked me if I ever hit a wall during the Marine Corps Marathon. The answer is, fortunately, no. I was half expecting to, as I’ve heard “there’s nothing that can prepare you for mile 20.” I’m attributing this to good training, proper hydration, and some rockin tunes. In all seriousness, I had lots [...]

My friends joke that my life is a little a la Gossip Girl. Therefore, you get a GG-style post today. Spotted: Alyssa breaking it down on the dance floor and promptly called out by reader, Chrissy. At least she had nice things to say. Was it so easy to spot me because I was doing [...]
