Hello, peeps!  It has been a very busy, but wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!  It started the day before Thanksgiving with cleaning and getting a head start on cooking.  Check out the lovely rolls I baked: Then my daughters and I went and got pedicures.  Man, I love pedicures!

My husband and I will celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary in a couple of weeks, so we went on a romantic weekend getaway this weekend.  What a wonderful weekend we had!

What I miss about being in training

November 6, 2014 likeafinevino6 Comments

Hello!  It’s been awhile since I last blogged!  Things have been very busy for me at work and so I haven’t had much time to focus on anything else.  Also, I’m not training right now, so I don’t have much to talk about.  No one wants to hear about a boring 3-mile run, right?  Which… Continue reading What I miss about being in training
