My top sporty summer favorites

August 3rd, 2006

1. The perfect running skirt. This little ditty is so comfortable. It has coverage were you need it, technical fabric to keep you cool and dry and it’s a trip to wear.

2. BODYGLIDE. If you decide you still want to wear running shorts instead of a skirt or you have a chafing problem like my friend Erik you will want to wipe on some BODYGLIDE and your skin will be set free.

3. Yankz. You will never have to tie your shoes again. I can’t say enough about these. Once you try them, you will NEVER go back to laces.

4. Headsweats hat. This hat will not only keep your head cool in the summer months, but it keeps the sweat from dripping into your eyes and you can even throw it into the washing machine.

Coffee & Vino

August 2nd, 2006

The above mentioned are my two vices or addictions or foibles or loves or “item’s” I don’t ever want to be stranded on a dessert island without.

And my love affair with coffee just got a little stronger.

I’m not even sure what tipped my brain into thinking I wanted to find about how to make cold press coffee. Maybe it was my friend Megan who walks around with her own home made iced coffee in a perpetually reused clear plastic Caribou coffee cup with lid and straw or my constant spending of $3.50 every time I feel like I “deserve” a little something for myself or the horrendous heat or my 3:00 pm extreme dip in glycogen stores.

But thank God something pushed me to do it because now I have my own container of thick, syrupy, tar-black nectar of the god’s sitting in my own refrigerator.

Now you can Cold Press coffee too.

I prefer mine on the rocks with skim milk (about 1/3 coffee to 2/3 milk should do it).

MMMMMMmmmmmm!

On his way to being a Chippendale

August 1st, 2006

All of a sudden KP has realized he is not so fond of a wet diaper on his body or a big load of poop in his britches. He has also learned to take off his shorts and PJ bottoms when he wants to. This, my friends, makes for a bad equation.

Because after the = sign, you get only one of the following answers:

A. A little boy ripping off his urine filled diaper via the Velcro fasteners and chucking it across the room yelling “POO POO”.

B. A little boy ripping off a poop filled diaper via the Velcro fasteners and having the poop fall on the floor and then hearing him yell, “OOOHHHH NOOOOOO POO POO.”

C. Coming up to check on the little boy in his crib late at night, making sure he is fast asleep, giving him one last kiss and realizing he is enjoying a completely naked sleeping experience.
