Spring is springing here in PA. I know this because of adorable tulips and daisies I saw growing by the side of the road and a very fat robin sitting in a bush.

I love this video too and have also enjoyed the album. I read an article which said it was, to them, about additions and the cycles involved. Having been involved with relationships and addictions this video is spot on. Makes me emotional when watching because as trippy as it is i can totally relate and understand.
Listening to.
Sigur Rós, a band that I've really come to love over the years, has a new album out, Valtari. Last week, I watched a video from the new record which was part of a mystery film project. The band gave a dozen different film makers a modest budget and asked them to come up with videos. The video be...

Never say never
I did it. I ran my first 5K road race. And it happened six months and one day from the day I decided to hop back on the health and fitness wagon back in early January. Remember that? Move more? Eat less? I slept about three hours the night before. I was a twisty bundle of nerves. It w...

A heck of a sweet running-related giveaway [comments now closed]
So as you may have gathered if you've been reading here of late, running is my new thing. And when I get a new thing, I get pretty geeked out about it. And there are three very specific things that contributed to the overall geeking out process. First, there is Exhibit A: But my new iPod Na...

Had a moment this weekend
Saturday morning, 8-ish, I'm laying in bed, knowing it's time to get up, head towards the bathroom, and my new digital scale—you remember, the one that put a whole new batch of weight on me in an instant last week? Yeah, that one. I shuffle down the hall, remembering to clip on my pedometer as...
Congrats!! and ditto on the white bread
4 Years
I haven't smoked one single cigarette in 4 whole years as of today. Not a one. If anyone out there thinks they just can't quit, you have to believe that you can. If an obsessive-compulsive nicotine addict like me can, I truly believe it's possible for anyone. Now if I could just get over my l...
You are helping to inspire me Cathy..thank you so much for sharing everything good and bad. Helps us all remember that it did not come on in a day it is going to take more than a day to come off.
Plugging away
I'm coming up on the three month mark of being back on the Ye Olde Weight Watchers Planne. Three whole months. So far, it's really been going quite well. They say if you do something for 21 consecutive days it becomes a habit, right? I'd like to say this is all very habitual now and automatic,...
i discovered Imogean Heap this year and my favorite song to listen and sing to over and over was Hide and Seek or Little Bird.
My Favorites from the Year in Music (plus a giveaway!)
Every now and then at the end of the year, I like to do a "Best Of My Blog" post. I also wanted to do a Best of 2009 in Music, but ran out of time. It's very unscientific, of course, and the list isn't very long. It's simply what I loved the most in 2009. Ready? Let's begin: Scattered Trees Song...
My new year's resolution is the same every year, to live a happy and full life with my family. I also began exercising regularly and preparing for a fitter healthier me this year. It didn't add up over night so I know it is going to take a while to get where I am healthiest but I am way okay with being patient on this one. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!

I am ready for the holidays just about everyday! Christmas time is my favorite time of year. Not for the presents to me, but for the gifts I can get for my family. I love the hustle and bustle.

I struggle every single page with remembering to Journal what is going on in the picture. I want it to look and sound perfect. In my perfectionist vision I then don't journal because What If I screw it UP!? If only I would write out what I say to people when they are looking through the scrapbook, then just maybe it would all come together..... :)

I am forever grateful for the mornings I wake and breath. I am thankful to my parents for being awesome. I am thankful for three amazing children who love me for being me everyday. I am thankful for my husband who found me when I thought there was no love. I am thankful for each and every moment of my life. Good and bad. Without them I would not be where I am today.
