Blah, blah, blog
So what is it about a blog anyway that requires that it be kept up on a daily basis? Blog is such a newly defined term... Is blog synonymous with diary? I would say the average gal has trouble keeping a diary or journal. Don't get me wrong, it would be great to be a good record keeper: … [Read more...]

It must have been the debut week of the new Dove campaign, Real Women have Curves. The first billboard I saw flying into town … [Read more...]
Running on Betty
I started running almost six years ago. I have debated in my mind, often, if I am indeed running or if I am really just jogging. Regardless of the formalities, it is a challenge every time. Physically and mentally. When I was in school, I couldn't even run the mile. The dreaded, once a year … [Read more...]
