I’ve decided to turn over a new leaf and get back in shape, and I thought the best way to accomplish that would be to do some sort of physical exercise that was fun to me. So without any expense or any time commitment, I turned on my iPod, cranked up the volume and [...]

I should be working on the schedule this morning, but instead I am cuddling my very sick little girl (who loves when she gets to be in Momma’s cozy bed, even if it means she’s sick) and entertaining myself by reading blogs. I’m confident I will meet the schedule deadline later this week, but [...]

I have been reading and re-reading this version of St. Teresa’s Prayer almost constantly over the last week. This prayer, combined with my daughter’s juicy kisses and a fair bit of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, has definitely calmed my soul. I am aware that there are those who are suffering much more than [...]

It’s true when they say “You can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl.”

So last weekend, CCB, Lauren and I went on the Parade of Homes tour. It’s a bunch of model homes that are furnished real fancy-like and for a marginal fee, open to every Tom, Dick and Harry to traipse through them. I’m sure 90% of the people who go will never ever live [...]

For this month’s Daring Cooks Challenge, we traveled to Spain and made a delicious rice dish from Jose Andres. The original recipe called for cuttlefish, which is a relative of octopus and squid. Although I distinctly remember Lauren as a baby gnawing on squid tentacles as we ate calamari one night, I doubt [...]

Well, if all the tinkering I have done has worked (and I think it has), if you clicked through to my blog you should have been redirected to my NEW domain, http://athousandmiles.net. Welcome! (It looks pretty much just like the old blog, doesn’t it??) I decided it was time to get all professional-like and play [...]

Today is Miracle Treat Day at Dairy Queen. For every Blizzard that is sold today, one dollar is donated to the local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital. Because I work at a CMN hospital, and because I care for and love these children who are most in need of miracles, this is a cause [...]

Recently, I was honored to receive not only a spot on the blogroll of dear Linlah at Corn-Bean, but also a bloggy award as well. (Do you see it over there in the right-hand column? It’s the one with the F-word!! Woohoo!!)
So along with a blog award comes a meme, and this [...]
