Bingo and Badges
It’s Wednesday and I’m still recovering from my Camp Hoo Ha experience this weekend. Still recovering…(I had too much fun, stayed up too late and partook in some alcoholic beverages) Saturday morning I was nervous. It sounds silly but as I packed my car with my pillow, sleeping bag and backpack, I was nervous that […]

5 Kilometers
It’s been two days. Two days since the Bear and I participated in The Legacy Run to End Family Violence. And I still hurt. My thighs ache and my shins burn. It’s a reminder that I’m out of shape and overweight. But we did it. The run was Sunday with the 5k starting at 8:00am. […]

Bras and Camp Songs
Last night I attended my first Camp Hoo Ha event, Skivvies. I wasn’t sure what to expect, knowing only that there would be a bra fitting expert there to share some of her wisdom with us women. I wasn’t prepared for the glory that is Camp Hoo Ha, facilitated by ‘camp counselors’ of epic repute. […]

Hula Hoops
Well, I haven’t done much working out per say. I’ve upped the amounts and distance of walks with the dog. I even tried jogging with Milo a couple of nights ago, but it was an unmitigated disaster. He was either under my feet trying to trip and kill me or he was suddenly distracted and […]

Legacy Run to End Family Violence
So, I did a thing. I signed the Bear and I up for a 5km run on May 15th which is absolutely terrifying but also the kick in the butt that I need to start working out. We always have the option to walk but my preference would be a combination of walking and running. […]

Camp Hoo-Ha
I attended an admin assistant conference in 2020 before the pandemic shut everything down. I don’t remember any of the guest speakers or the topics discussed with one exception. Camp Hoo-Ha. I know, the name sounds ridiculous and dirty and well….it kind of is (take a look at the logo, it is hilarious). The ladies […]

Just Relax…
I don’t think that telling anyone to relax has ever worked in the history of the world. I have plenty of stories that could prove this point but one in particular comes to mind. Picture it, the last 4-5 years of my life, post-hysterectomy and menopausal. The uterus supports the bladder and once it is […]

The Dentist – March 25
I know I’m not the only one who hates going to the dentist. I put it off and put it off but every few months I receive a text message that I’m 743 days overdue for my next check-up. Persistent! When I took the Bear in for her last check-up the receptionist noted that it […]

Cramps and Curses
It’s the middle of the night and the dog is sitting on my head. This is his routine, his cue that he needs outside. I move to get out of bed and am met with instant aches and pains. Ah yes, the aftermath of working out. I have not missed you one bit. My knees […]

Water and Wedgies
You’re probably wondering what water and wedgies have in common. Well…typically nothing I suppose. Except today…we’re exercising!!! Yes, I am feigning excitement about sweating and muscles burning but that’s what I’ve gotta do to get me through this workout. First things first, we need water. Not just because we’re going to get thirsty but because […]
