I want these Teva hot-girl shoes. I’m natural and organic and outdoorsy in real life, I swear it. These are right up my alley. I will now try to find the right people who can give me a pair of these beauties so I can review them for you and tell you if you should [...]
Maybe I should run for President. There is talk of it. Okay, it’s me talking. Mostly. But I think it could be fun. I’d get new clothes, right? I used to think I’d be a horrible politician, because I’m not interested in politics, or politicians, or the intricacies of policy and law-making. Or fighting with [...]
Sarah Palin for President? Huh. It could work out well for me, actually. Some people think I look like she does, so maybe I’d get some bonus perks if I walked into a coffee shop, or a hunting lodge, or on set at Fox News, or into the oval office. Maybe I should run for [...]
They’re sweet. They’re crunchy. They’re delicious. But are carrots really the new sexy? Sure, they prevent heart attacks, strokes, and cancer, and they’re easy on the eyes, but so do the doctors on Grey’s Anatomy (okay, those are people, I know they’re not real doctors, or vegetables — work with me here!) I thought baby [...]
Welcome to the Chubby Mommy Running Club, St. Clair, MO! These lovely women, lead by Tyrona the Brave (in the pink sweatshirt) showed up for the first CMRC in Missouri today. I wish I could hug them all in person, but I’m meeting them virtually through Facebook pictures and posts! We’ve had CMRC meetups in Bend and [...]
I’m the one in the pink dress. 1983 was a good year. Which is better, new BFF’s or old BFF’s? Making new best friends is easy – I’ve been doing it since the day I was born. In fact, on my actual birth-day, my mom claims she liked me right away. I’d like to think [...]
Are you religious, or spiritual, or both? How about neither? Are you looking for God, or the Buddha within? Do you see angels or feel like you’ve lived a few (or 100) past lives and you may have 1,000 more, or do you think this life is it, your one chance to go for it? And what [...]
Funny how a bunch of people standing around wearing matching shirts looks like a club! Because, hey, we ARE real, after all. Just like Velveteen Rabbits. These lovely ladies joined me for a photo at Amazon Running Trail in Eugene today for an upcoming article in the Eugene Register-Guard’s Health and Fitness section about the [...]
Let’s talk about runner’s knees! And legs! And core, core, core! And let’s eat fruit, drink tea and meet each other in real life, while we’re at it. Christina Caldwell, co-owner of The Multisport Advantage Training Studio in Eugene is hosting this month’s Chubby Mommy Running Club Social. Join us on Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010 [...]
I went to Robin’s kick boxing class again tonight. I taped up my bloody knuckles, put on some gloves, and hit the bag with some left hooks, right hooks, jabs and pivot kicks. And I learned some super duper fancy footwork, to boot. Okay, I used a Band Aid and they were just little scabs [...]
