Kiss



My car dashboard:  one of my favorite radio channels that I listen to often...

KISS FM 96.1

Knowledge

As your body grows bigger 
Your mind must flower 
It's great to learn 
Cause knowledge is power! 

It's Schoolhouse Rocky 
The chip off the block 
Of your favorite schoolhouse 
Schoolhouse Rock!

 

Great memories from when I was younger.  As soon as I saw the word "knowledge", this theme song popped into my mind! When my son was in 4th grade, he had to memorize the Preamble to the Constitution.  I downloaded the School House Rock video for him and he learned it in no time....These were the highlights of Saturday morning cartoon watching!

Kid

 

 

This is my one and only KID, Sammy!  He is the love of my life and I am so very proud of the young man he is becoming.  I love how he painted his name on the wall....



Kettle

 

 

 

What a coincidence!!!!  My CrossFit workout just happened to include KETTLE bells today!  I love having the kettle bells in my workouts.  They really make my shoulders ache!  Truly enjoyed the WOD this evening.

Journey

 

 

One of my all-time favorite 80's bands:  JOURNEY

 

My favorite songs on this album are "Separate Ways", "Ask the Lonely" and "Be Good to Yourself".  Other songs I like include "Stone in Love" and "Feeling that Way".  I love Steve Perry songs, too.  Who can forget "Oh Sherry"????? I wish they'd get back together for a reunion tour, but I'm thinking that's not likely.  I think it's neat that a lot of their music is still popular today.  Who doesn't know the words to "Don't Stop Believin'"?

Jam

 

On our way to our first Ragnar Event we got stuck in a traffic JAM right outside of Baltimore, MD.  We were headed to Reading, PA.....what's wrong with this picture????

 

OOOPS!!!  Wrong turn!!!!  This little driving mishap caused us 5 hours of extra driving!!!!

 

Good times......

Jump and Joy

 

 

I still laugh when I look at the pictures from our latest Ragnar excursion.  This was taken in Key West by the most talented photographer ever....Cyndie DeLucia!!!!  That's me and the girls JUMPING in the middle of one of the streets.....and I will say for the record....there was no alcohol involved.  These girls trips bring me such JOY!!!!!  I love running and I love this group of girls!!!  We have so much fun together just laughing and acting silly......

 

Next stop:  Garden of Eden!!!!!

Ink

This is a picture of my dear friend, Dave who came to visit and help Sam with some wiring.  It's a great shot of his INK!!!!!  I don't have any tattoos because my father would kill me....(yes, I'm 42) but I think I might like a little one on my ankle.  I would probably do something with running, but I'm not sure.  

Idea, Ice, Indigo

I will begin by saying that I will try very hard to be more creative next week.   This has been a busy work week and I'm having a tough time getting all of my blogging in.  I agree with Cyndie,  this work stuff is interfering with the things I love to do!!!

That being said, my husband was kind enough to be my "model" this week.....Sam had an IDEA (note the light bulb above his head) to ICE his injured ankle while wearing INDIGO socks!!!!

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

Wow....I am such a loser..... :-)

Home

 

HOME is where the heart is......



Half

Here, Here....

Habit

I require at least TWO cups of tea with honey per day.  I drink my first cup first thing in the morning, either while I'm getting ready for work or just waking up and prior to exercising.  I drink the second  cup AS SOON as I get home from work or sometime after 2 PM if not working.  Lately it seems that I've been sneaking a third cup in there....usually after dinner.  With the amount of honey that I put in my tea, I would probably lose 10 pounds if I simply cut out my daily HABIT of tea and honey, but I am just not willing up to give up this treat that  I love.....As the musical group Chicago said:  It's A Hard HABIT To Break!!!

Healthy

This is a HEALTHY meal that I eat once a day.  It's my Shakeology mix, unsweetened coconut-almond milk, half of a banana, nonfat plain greek yogurt with PB2 peanut butter powder and some flaxseed throw in for good measure!  Blend it all up and.......DEE-LISH!!!!
