[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Goodbye, July. Helloooooo, August. It’s amazing how quickly the summer passes, even when you’re a real, live adult and haven’t had a summer vacation in eight several years. June and July were just fine, but I’ve been looking forward to August for ages.…

Today: Mary Poppins, Lord Voldemort and Lolo Jones.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I don’t know about you, but I found the London opening ceremonies to be… um… weird. Mary Poppinses (is that how you pluralize the nanny?) battling he who shall not be named? Just weird. [Images] Fortunately, the actual Olympic Games have yet to…

Today: …is a new day.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I was right. That rat was a bad omen. I left my office right on time last night, excited to be meeting Sarah and Bridget for a workout, when my little car failed to start. The tow truck driver dispatched by AAA was…

Today: 21 hours.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Monday was a long day. I was awake (and mostly functioning) for 21 hours straight. When you’re up and about for that long, you’re bound to see some shi things. 4:00 AM Nick was planning to take an early class at CrossFit Southie, so when…

Today: Proof that we’re engaged.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Welp, in addition to the ring. And the fact that I talk about getting married every 30 seconds. The proof is in our engagement photos, taken by Katherine and Craig of Henry Photographers. A few of our favorites from Castle Island and our…

Today: Back floats and naps, box jumps and lunges.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]After a quick back float in Boothbay Harbor, I’m back and better than ever probably just my same old self. Salt water is good for your soul. So are naps, especially when you have a Frenchie to serve as your alarm clock. We were…

Today: What to pack for three days in Maine.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]It’s very simple, really. Three bathing suits. Two novels (one should have a lobster on the dust jacket). One pair of peace moccasins. Also On Tap for Today: Happy Birthday, Christopher! 🙂 Getting excited for the Crossfit Games 15 crazy ideas for making…

Today: The non-dairy queen.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Weather like this has me craving a Blizzard. The ice cream treat, not the weather event. There is only so much Lactaid a girl can take, though. Fortunately, there are all kinds of frozen non-dairy “ice cream” available these days. All it takes…
