    Meat Maidens Gone Wild!!!

    June 15, 2009

    Yesterday was, as expected, a blast. But it was about 10,000 times better than I could have ever imagined. A mere blog post won’t even capture it properly; you truly had to be there. Momo did her own summary. The pictures would have spoken for themselves had it not been for the adorable RHYMING VERSE she used. She’s good. Really good. But I’ll try to give you a taste of it. First, the road trip to the Land of Momo. My van-mates? The lovely Weaselmomma: and the equally lovely Surprised Mom: Honestly, if you happen to be riding across the midwest (or where ever) in the middle seat of a…

    It Only Took Twenty-Eight Years…

    June 7, 2009

(Click here to hear his glorious British accent and see what his personality, full of infectious excitement, is like. He’s awesome!)

    A Comeback After Only Two Months? Shirley, You Must Be Kidding!

    January 22, 2009

    Something amazing happened yesterday. Have you ever met a survivor? I mean, a *real* one. I know somebody who is incredible. Shirley, one of the founding four in my Wednesday spin class, made a big comeback last night. How big? Huge. Two months ago, Shirley suffered a stroke. At the health club. Our Wednesday class was heartbroken and worried. Phone calls and e-mails were flying, everyone trying to get the scoop on her condition. Although I had reservations about it at first, we had a festive class for my 40th birthday that week (because Shirley would have been really ticked off if we didn’t celebrate*) and set up a bike…
