Hey runners, hikers and bikers!   This weekend Milton Miller will be stopping in Phoenix as he runs from Miami, FL to Los Angeles, CA.  He is raising money for EdenInAfrica.org, a fabulous organization that helps kids in one of the poorest parts of Africa.  You can track Milton’s progress here and learn more:  http://100daysofmadness.com/   Sounds crazy, right? He gets that a lot. But he lives by a guiding principle: If you don’t set yourself extremely ambitious goals, nothing…

About a year ago I bought a Rowenta professional grade iron for about $85 which was the best model at Target and made in Germany.  The build quality was excellent and I must admit that I am at fault for breaking the iron by using tap water and having it fall from the ironing board (once) which broke the spray nozzle, but didn’t impact its general functionality.   Well, last week I was using it and rust began to come…

Last night I made pizza. A delicious mediterranean style pizza and I tried something different with a veggie korma Indian style pizza. Both were very good and the korma pizza was more like a dessert pizza. Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.5  

Okay, so as a woman in this new era of independence I would think/hope you would at least offer to help pay for breakfast/lunch or dinner.  This has happened time and time again where I will go out with a person and at the end of the meal she will just sit there and not say anything as I pick up the bill, pull out my wallet, drop my cash/card onto the table and pay for the meal.  I would…

and it continues… If you start out an argument by saying, “Well, Glenn Beck said…” I will immediately ignore whatever you have to say because it will likely be complete bullshit.  Glenn Beck is dumber than Rush Limbaugh and that is saying a lot. If a person’s statement can be refuted or proven incorrect in about 2 minutes from a multitude of sources then it should not have been written or said.  I’ll gladly admit I am wrong if someone…

I am not a fan of sarcasm because beneath the sarcasm there is usually something that is not so nice.  If you have a problem with something or someone just say what it is and figure out how to fix it. I experienced first hand how the Republican party supports our troops – they don’t and then how the Democrats did and likely still do.  Look at the budgets for the ongoing wars that President Bush and company started, they…

As republicans are tromping through the country trying to get people to vote them in again I wonder if people remember why so many of us voted them out?  Do we forget so easily who got us into the mess we’re in now?  Depending on your political viewpoint you will certainly have different answers to that question, but as the country voted it was quite obvious who they thought was at fault.  This has not changed. One of my conservative…

Ever have one of those situations in life where you really aren’t sure what to do? What is the right thing to do and what would you really like to do? If you know me you know my situation and if you know the situation you also likely do not understand why I am still in this situation because it makes no sense that the situation is still causing this situation. No one reads this anyway so who cares.  …

June has been going pretty well and fast. The picture here is showing the group I rode with on the Flagstaff to Sedona mountain bike ride on the 12th. We had about 26 or so people and almost everyone made the entire 43 mile trip. Unfortunately I didn’t make it the whole way due to a very odd pain on the outside of my right knee so my next step is to get that checked out.   Beyond that I’m…

It is pretty crazy that it is already May 2010 and so much has changed over the past two years. Life can definitely throw curveballs and be exciting can’t it? Since December I’ve been busy skiing, sledding, kayaking, climbing, caving, hashing, hiking, driving, riding, walking, packing, unpacking, working and playing. In January I went to Kartchner Caverns, skiing at Sunrise, went to see George Winston in concert pretty much just took it easy as the new year started. In February…
