TGIF!

Happy Friday! I can’t blog at work, so I by the time this gets posted it will probably be later in the afternoon/evening, but since I have some time this morning (and things to say), I’m going ahead and writing now. This morning has been quite calm. I woke up half an hour late, and [...]

Sunday’s Thoughts

Here are a collection of my thoughts for the day: I was excited to find this creamer today at Target. I have no idea if it will compare to Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte, but it’s worth a shot and so much cheaper! Should make my commute through farmland this week more delicious :) I also [...]

Saturday Happenings

Good evening! We’ve had a good Saturday so far. I was quite surprised to sleep until 9am this morning! The Knoxville Farmers Market opened at 9, but by the time we got ready, out the door and drove into knoxville (~30-40 minutes) it was a little after 11. The market was actually very quiet today [...]

My weeks seem to go by quickly, which I suppose is a good thing, right? No big plans for this weekend though. I’m sure Knoxville will all be a buzz [...]

Happy Monday!

Good Monday Morning everyone! Hope you all had an enjoyable weekend. I spent a good chunk of yesterday making mass quantities of homemade tomato sauce. During our visit to North Carolina, we were given a basket filled with cornfield beans and 42 tomatoes! Once I get my camera and laptop up and running I’ll have [...]

12 miles is back to haunt me

I successfully finished those 12 miles this past Saturday with no aches or pains. Some soreness, yes, but that’s normal.  But do you know what’s not normal? My foot hurting this bad. It’s a weird pain on the outer edge of my right foot, closer to my heel than toes. It started yesterday and gets worse [...]
