4 things about me

-

I don’t know what this blog will be. But, I love reading them and I love writing, so I thought it would be a good exercise in engaging and creativity.  For now, list format a couple of times a week with some anecdotes, what I’m consuming, and workouts…

Caretaking and pandemic restrictions kind of did me in terms of hobbies and health, so I’m figuring out what I want to do in this iteration of me. Have always been very into books, tv, movies, and writing and added cooking, baking, and bike riding recently 


My guy and I have a 9 year old who asked us call her Lil’ Momma last week and I plan on calling her that forever. She’s all personality; very into dance, singing, and art; and enjoys beating me at step challenges. My little family is everything I never knew I wanted 


I started exercising in my early 30s (totally out of character haha!) and ended up in this CrossFit-ish women’s group class that filled my bucket and gave me confidence I never knew I needed for 10+ years(until I tore my rotator cuff and pinched my radial nerve over the course of 2 weeks in mid-2020). I’ve always wanted to be a runner (but was better at reading Runner’s World and blogs) and am giving it a go again with a Galloway + heart rate hybrid and a lot of Peloton cross training (well, more than the nothing I’ve done since “the injury”)

    Ooh, so your blog is brand- new. How fun! I hope you enjoy it. Not sure if you saw on my blog, but over the summer I started doing the Galloway run/walk method. I was reluctant at first because it seemed like a copout, but I'm loving it. I have to do a follow-up post on that soon.
    Anyway, I hope you, your guy and Lil' Momma are enjoying the holidays!

  I am having one of   those work weeks that just beat you up . Vague asks that do n’t make sense, changing timelines and details, being behind the ball but not having any way to get ahead… Sigh, this is not when I shine. However, I had my personal pity party last night and am trying to let the stress go and do what I can do with what I have when I have it.   For this week, I wanted to ramble away about  Lil Momma’s audition for a special production class  at her musical theater school as it took up most of our energy last weekend:   Lil Momma went in strong on Saturday am and was so ready with her bit of song and good attitude. With both us knowing more than half the auditioners would NOT make it in, I tried to balance my car ride pep talk with real talk ride to the studio, for sure.    When I picked her up, she was devastated, unfortunately, because a bunch of the younger kids and some of the competition team kids had gotten a callback for that ...

to chop or not to chop?

  This was the first week with everyone a certain level and above   going back into the office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays   and oof, it was a lot. I have been going in on Tuesdays and Thursdays for well over a year – the Mr thought I should get out of the house more and the change in scenery and ability to “leave” work did me good – but, this change of energy with so many people and so much noise and all the wild energy and feelings coming off everyone about the change was exhausting…   …and, then there’s my hair.   My hair washing schedule worked really well with my Tues / Thurs in office days. For context, I have curly hair down barely to my shoulders. I treat my curls with fear and respect. I try to only wash my hair 2-3 times a week as not to wash all the $$ I spend on dyeing it down the drain and not to dry out my curls. On days where I don’t wash it, half the time I end up spraying it down with water and recurling it (even though they don’t look amazing, i...

One  It’s a chop, but not a wild one! And, an explanation (which was more of a win, haha!)… I had gone to the same place to get my hair done for 10 years up until 2 years ago. When they dyed my hair, it would burn my scalp and I’d get a rash on my forehead and ears, but they said it was just because I was sensitive. Apparently, the dye was too intense chemically and impacted my curl pattern as well. SO, my stringy, knotty, gross ends were the damage from those years, while the hair above is healthier because of the better for me dye I get at the place I have now.  I HAD 2 DIFFERENT CURL PATTERNS GOING ON ON THE SAME STRANDS OF HAIR?!?!?!  No wonder it / I was a mess. My mind was blown! I told her to cut off all the damage and am so much happier with it. Though, it still doesn’t work for day 2 in office, so I guess my next adventure will be to see if my roots stay mostly bearable if I’m washing my hair 2-3 times midweek…   Two  Next week is school vacation here....
