On Sitting in a Stupidly Ungrateful Place…
I’m not sure why I’m on a roll, entitling posts this way. Right now, it just feels right. Because I am on the brink of some kind of breakthrough. [Or breakdown. Could be one in the same…] [So as an initial matter, it appears that I may be leaning on the Army for therapy…. you have been warned.] […]
On Forgiveness…
I’ve never been a very forgiving person. (Wow, I’m really starting to sound like a real nice gal, aren’t I?) Perhaps I should clarify a little. I forgive others pretty easily. But as for myself? I have a very, very hard time forgiving that woman. Made it to the gym this morning for the first training day in […]
True Grit and Grace – Jo’s Story
Well, you know that I love SBM Army Members who send me pictures with Andy Potts. But this member, Jo, is close to my heart for a few reasons.

Even while writing about it, I knew what I wanted…..what my goal was…..where I THOUGHT I was going….IRONMAN FLORIDA. Well, I am feeling pretty bummed today. I made the decision this weekend […]
Superheroes, Goats and Kids
Yesterday, the Expert and I celebrated twelve years of marital bliss. Okay, so maybe not bliss. But it’s been a pretty darn good twelve years. For the big celebration, we were starting out to kill each other in a 5k race to the death at the 2013 Superheroes vs. Villains 5k. We woke up at […]
What’s MY Excuse?
This picture is circulating around the internet. The woman in the picture, Maria Kang, is getting a lot of heat from posting this on her Facebook page. Imagine that. I had to take a step back and think about how I felt about it. I will often create and post “posters” with the intention of […]
