Though the skies have been quite grey today, I’ve been holed up in our condo since this morning’s crossfit class, thinking pink. Our Christmas cards arrived yesterday (don’t tell a soul, but I somehow spelled Christmas with an extra i on our return address wrappers and was forced to break out the scissors), addressed to friends and family members at no extra cost (I’ll say it again, Minted.com is the…

Today: A few of my (current) favorite things.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens (ew, I hate cats). Let’s just cut to “a few of my favorite things.” Basil grown from seed I started growing these little guys from a seed kit early this summer. While the basil isn’t quite…

Today: Follow the signs.
As I’ve mentioned once before, marathons aren’t easy. That’s sort of the point. This past weekend’s ING NYC Marathon nearly broke my foot (or maybe it did? I haven’t made it under an X-ray device quite yet.), but New York City stole my heart. It’s…

Today: Here we go again.

[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Happy National Running Day! And Happy 1st Day of June! I’m sure there are plenty of other things to be happy about… so Happy Everything Else, too! I always love the start of a new month (and clearly, exclamation points). With the big…

Today: Early bird special.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Today, instead of devoting 58 minutes to trying on five thousand work outfits, and subsequently forming a Mt. Saint Helens of clothes on our bedroom floor, I went for a run. What brought about this deviation from my normal routine of wasting time,…

Today: I feel like I won the lottery.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Because I did. Seriously. Except that it’s the kind of lottery that costs money when you win, and has the potential to break your legs and crush your soul. But like the regular lottery, it can change your life. By some miracle (or…

Today: While I’m 29 (and superfine).
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] I was able to cross of most of the items on my “While 28” list, and even surprised myself a bit. I originally hoped to run my first half marathon, and then figured… balls to the wall. Or whatever that expression is. …
