the insanity rant

June 10, 2010

I may be at a lifetime high in terms of cardiovascular fitness.  I may be able to walk up the hill from the beach to the house at the cottage without getting all huffy-puffy out of breath like.  I may be able to leap small buildings in a… ok, not so much that.
But I am [...]

do it right or don’t do it at all; or why i’m not rushing to visit a certain winery

May 24, 2010

In what could be construed as a loosely connected follow up to last week’s post “what’s next?“, I’d like to talk about why I’m not going to post bad writing, stupid ideas, or just plain shit.  (And I’d like to suggest you not read on if you haven’t an ounce of a clue about wine [...]

summertime to-do list

April 9, 2010

Remember this past winter when folks that lived in the south had seriously harsh cold weather?  My friends in Florida were piling on the pj’s with footies, and my cousin in Texas was posting photos on Facebook of her frozen garden fountain… and a bunch of people in Washington were making themselves look like idiots [...]

i heart boxed wine

March 15, 2010

March 2, 2010

There’s no point in hoping I’ll ever go completely raw in my diet- there are some things (like steak) that will always be on my plate that just don’t seem to fit with the “uncooked” idea.  (Yes, steak tartare is wonderful but I can’t make that for myself.  Get real.)  I really like trying out [...]

the workout

February 27, 2010

One month of P90X workout videos down.  Two to go.  Before I share the daily trials, I’ll fill you in on the details.
I’m using the basement as my “workout room”.  There is a heater in the wall, indoor/ outdoor carpet on the cement floor, a tv, a dvd player, large spiders, a low ceiling and [...]

love me some greens

February 17, 2010

I just know you all are curious about that green smoothie breakfast I mentioned in my last post.  Thanks to my friend Lisa for introducing me to the idea (in fact, this week she’s posting a smoothie recipe everyday!)  I won’t expound upon why you should have breakfast or whatever.  All you need to know is [...]

standing out in public in your underpants

February 10, 2010

That’s how my friend (and now fellow blogger) Lisa said it feels when you make your first post.  Putting it all out for everyone to see.  She let me try it out by posting on her blog, so I guess this isn’t really my “first” post… but hell, I hope you’re smart enough to understand [...]
