After two years in Seattle I never thought I would miss the Virginia winters so much. The last few days of snow and bitter cold winds have only reinforced my severe adversion to rain. Seriously, I would take inches of snow and single-degree weather over the endless tears that the Seattle skies weap […]
It struck me as odd when a friend commented recently that I appear to have a plan for life. While flattered, I began to wonder how it is that I have managed to fool so many people for so long. The truth is that I often feel like the most scattered person in […]
When we walked out of the house this morning, it had already started to snow. Weather forecasts predicted cold and wet conditions for the run today, but we’d hoped that the snow would hold off until we were well past the finish line and warming up with coffee. With the start of the […]
After resorting to carrying Chris’ gianormous 30-gig iPod around on my long runs the past few weeks, I think my right arm is significantly longer than my left. When I lost my nano a couple of months back, I was uncertain how long I’d have to suffer through my own pity party before we […]
The titles of the last few posts are Michael Tolcher lyrics. No particular reason, except that I’m head-over-heels in love with the man. We’ll see how long it lasts.
We found him in Virginia on Valentine’s Day a couple of years ago and I haven’t been the same since. While he was touring […]
While mulling over the purchase of the franchise, my largest concern was having to deal with the logistical headache of actually setting up the business front. The previous franchise owner opted for the most simple route, beginning as a sole-proprietor. I spent quite a bit of time weighing the benefits of setting up […]

As a freshman in college, I had dreams of medical school and an itemized plan of how I would single-handedly save the world while working for a non-profit. By my sophomore year I’d come to […]
Don’t make me kick your ass on my birthday.
6 Comments Published by Kelli November 7th, 2006 in Ramblings.Seriously, if you want to give me a birthday present, get your lazy ass down to the polls and vote. If you want to give me the best birthday present ever, go vote for the Dems and help us take back the house.
Here in King County, a majority of voters elect to cast a […]
A few random bits to make up a decent post.
0 Comments Published by Kelli November 6th, 2006 in Ramblings.I’ve been running all over the place lately, physically and figuratively. Life is good, just busy. I gathered up a few highlights to construct a post worth reading.
Training:I’m finally getting my act together for the Seattle Half coming up in a few weeks. After finishing a really great 8-mile run yesterday morning, […]
Our digital camera had a bit of an accident a while back. While it survived well enough, we lost the shutter button somewhere along the way and have been uber-lame about getting up off our asses to fix it. At this point, having been eye-ing the shiny new 8-million mega-pixel contraptions out there […]
