Winter Workout Blues

Published on January 26, 2013, by in Fitness, Health, Life.

I need to change things up. I’ve lost my workout mojo over the past few months due to the cold weather, early darkness, traveling, moving, illness, and a bit of apathy thrown in as well. I tried to give myself some inspiration by signing up for a two mile open water swim in May as

Film Review: Beginners

Published on January 16, 2013, by in Movies, Reviews.

On Christmas night my boyfriend and I had to grudgingly pack up our belongings and trek back home from our holiday. And yes, it sucked we had to come back that night and couldn’t drag out the vacation a little longer. Ho hum. Therefore instead of rushing to bed, I insisted on staying up to

Algebra, Schmalgebra

Published on January 15, 2013, by in Life.

I’ve never been much of a “math” person. I’m a liberal arts, history loving, book reading kind of gal and math was always my least favorite subject in school. Pre-algebra and algebra classes turned my apathy over math into active loathing and probably scarred me for life. I’ve long felt a little embarrassed at how

Jessie’s January Jeers and Cheers

Over the past month or so I’ve been keeping a mental list of things to mention on this blog. These things are small and need no more then a word or two about why they are awesome or suck. Here is that list. 1. JEERS to the U.S. Postal Service. When you are running a

Heather’s resolutions

I don’t do resolutions as a general rule. It just seems so contrived- “It’s January 1st! What’s wrong with your life???” I prefer a slightly more optimistic approach to self-improvement. Also a more moderated approach. If there’s something I need to work on I don’t like to set January 1st as THE starting point of

Fresh Start

Published on January 10, 2013, by in Food, Health, Life.

Have you ever done a cleanse? I haven’t but coming off of the holidays I can see the appeal. I came across this cleanse on Dr. Oz’s website and it sounds DELICIOUS which is not what I think of when it comes to detox. Truthfully, I don’t know anything about “cleanses” and “detoxing” but I

2013: Small Easy Pieces

Published on January 9, 2013, by in Life.

I tend to get overwhelmed when I try to make resolutions. It starts off all fun, everyone’s in a circle grasping champagne and trading ideas for how this year will KICK SO MUCH ASS. Then it’s your turn for resolution naming, but you can’t say yours aloud. That would take way too long. All you

2013: Reinvigorated and Resolving

Published on January 8, 2013, by in Home, Life.

In the days before New Years Eve I was so disenchanted with the whole resolution thing. I think I feel the way many people do- each year I resolve to do something, most of the time it is to get in shape or eat healthier, and every year I forget what a resolution is around February.

A Whole New Year!

Published on January 7, 2013, by in Life.

Holy crap. That Christmas season just FLEW by, didn’t it? One minute I’m doing Christmas crafts in mid December, and the next I’m trying to play “What are you doing New Years?” on the piano. Long story short, stuff got busy and the ladies of Gen*HER got all wrapped up in it. While we were
