I am a huge Biggest Loser fan. But I’m more so a Bob & Jillian fan. I’m not going to lie after last year’s season I wasn’t that excited about this season. But you know what? I’m loving it. If nothing else watch last night’s episode for Bob’s 4:30am morning wakeup call and dance. Bob [...]

The best pizza I have ever eaten
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged food, unique pizza recipes on September 27, 2011 | 3 Comments »
A couple weekends ago I was in Stowe, Vermont with the Townie. One of the highlights of the weekend was taking my first bite of this pizza. Seriously, it.was.to.die.for. Thanks to the Hour Glass at Stowe Mountain Lodge, we ate this rich and unbelievable combination of Bayley Hazen bleu cheese, bacon, and local Champlain honey on [...]

I had a wonderful weekend with the Townie. It was his sister’s wedding weekend so I spent Friday getting mani/pedis with the Bridal party (incredibly sweet they asked me to join), then came the rehearsal dinner, the wedding, the after-party and a quick stop to say goodbyes on Sunday morning. I really lucked out with the Townie’s family. [...]
September Book
Posted in Books, tagged books, stolen on September 21, 2011 | 5 Comments »
This past weekend I read A Stolen Life. It seemed to go along with my theme of reading Room and other books that cause nightmares when you read them before bed. Honestly, it’s really hard to review a book that is someone’s true story. A horrific story at that. This book didn’t pull me in [...]

Have you ever dated or been in a relationship with a guy that you knew you shouldn’t be with? But you were addicted and for whatever reason you just kept letting the crappy behavior slide and you’d still hang out with him? Or have you ever watched that happen with a friend? You mention multiple [...]
Hidden behind my physical form.
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged happiness, health, life, love your body, my body on September 14, 2011 | 5 Comments »
Physically I appear strong, healthy and athletic. But here’s the truth about my body, my physical appearance and my health… My eye sight is well below 20/20. I have frequent dry eyes and eye ulcers from their apparent hatred of contacts. I have interstitial cystitis. It’s uncomfortable a lot, and can send my mood downhill fast. [...]
My recipe for happiness.

I know my blog is about the pursuit of happiness. It’s about figuring out the simple (and not so simple) things in life that make [me] happy. The past few months I’ve felt really happy. The kind of happiness where a crappy day, or a few lbs on the scale, or a snarky person can’t [...]

Yesterday was one of the most content days I have had in months. It wasn’t because I accidentally slept through my third triathlon, no, that caused some sobbing at 6:40am. It wasn’t because of my horrific 9/11 memories. Instead it was because I was 100% present in the day. The Townie and I went back [...]
Vermont cures all

Let me start by saying that I was a tiny bit cranky and overwhelmed last week, could you tell? I knew the Townie and I would be fine, but I like to be honest (maybe too honest) on this blog and last week I was letting some of the little things get to me. I [...]
It’s not all flowers & butterflies.

The Townie is a police officer in a town that is about 45 minutes from where I live. To be honest the typical downfalls that people assume (or you hear about) from being in a relationship with a police officer just isn’t the case with the Townie at this point. The number one thing that many [...]
