At the gym this morning, I was finishing up my workout with some hard intervals on the treadmill and listening to Pandora. I was about 15 seconds into a steep, fast incline– working hard and focused only on my lungs and my legs– while Peter Gabriel’s “Mercy Street” played. Suddenly the lyrics jumped out at me: Dreaming […] If only Dr. S. had had the Fried Chicken. I had an eye appointment yesterday morning. In fact, it came in really handy, because while I was in Nashville I somehow destroyed my last left contact lens; as a result I’ve been walking around totally unfocused. I tried to read the eye chart […] Okay, seriously: can you imagine if this was Sheri’s plan for walking down the aisle?

And I was all, oh, that’s so pithy, now I’m […] One of my all-time favorite photobombs. This one goes out to Dave, who (without a good example in his childhood) became the wonderful, engaged, and present dad he is through his own good instincts. And to my dad, who over the years became like a father to Dave, and who is loved so much, always. […] This morning is Warrior Dash, and Mom has specifically told me that we are not allowed to die while running this course (she says it’s too hard to find volunteers to replace us at Ronny Gras). So, while you’re laughing your ass off as Jill freaks out at high obstacles, and Dave shoves me bodily over walls– […] |
