Welcome to my blog.
I document my stupid
adventures. Have Fun!
Ahhhhh, Labor Day. The day that summer is officially over (screw you autumnal equinox) and kids hate because it means that it is time to go back to school. All of the neighborhood pools allow the neighborhood dogs to freely swim because it will be time to drain and clean the pool anyway. All the teachers will perfect the complaining that summer was too short and start to talk about how much they are looking forward to winter break (Hi Rizzo and Carrie).
Over the last two weeks or so I have had trouble sleeping. If I wasn't tossing and turning trying to turn of my brain I was watching TV or playing video games trying to distract it. I didn't want to go to sleep because it meant I had to do something I had come to dread; go to work the next day. So after weeks of sleepless nights, long conversations with my family, and deep soul searching I threw caution to the wind and took a leap. On Monday I submitted my letter of resignation, giving six weeks notice that I'm leaving my job.
MMMMMMM, cookies. Who doesn’t love a nice, soft, chewy chocolate chip cookie that almost melts in your mouth? Nothing is better, except maybe if you have a glass of ice cold milk to wash it down. Cookies are a treat. Cookies are a dessert. Cookies are sweet. Or are they?
Summer is drawing to a close and I for one and looking forward to the end. I don’t get along well with the heat. A run that was pretty easy and quick in March or April has turned into an agonizing 40 minutes of non-stop sweat and near heat stroke. I’m looking forward to the cool evenings where I can see my breath with each stride on my run and feel the chill tingle my nose.
If you are a novice to visiting craft breweries you may be tempted to turn around and leave before you make it inside of Caboose Brewing Company in Vienna, VA. You may even think you took a wrong turn in Albuquerque and ended up in the warehouse district in some bad horror movie. Either that or you will think that you were hired by the Town of Vienna to work construction in the public works department (which is right next door). Please, power through the appearances and make your way to the tasting room and restaurant. You be glad you did.
Believe it or not, it has been a year since I started this little blog. The original goal was to have a place to document my weight loss journey. It was a place for me to make sure I was accountable for my diet and exercise program. It was a place for me to put out in the public my successes and my failures when it came to my health.
The week was full of ups and downs when it comes to managing weight and exercise. Sunday was the first full day spent in Atlanta after a very long day of traveling. We started the day by finding a local spot for breakfast so we made our way to the Atlanta Breakfast Club which was just a few steps away from our hotel and located directly across the street from the Coca-Cola experience in downtown Atlanta. The food was absolutely amazing. After seeing everyone sitting around us dining on the chicken and waffles I really wanted to get that southern delicacy but I also knew that I would be getting multiple chances and fried chicken during the few days I’d be in Atlanta. Instead I got a basic breakfast of eggs, bacon, and cheese grits. It was out of this world good and if you are looking for a place to get some breakfast in Atlanta make sure to look this place up.
Some people are dog lovers and some people are cat lovers. I was born a dog lover but never fully understood what it meant to be a “dog person” until I met Ellie.
