BOOM!

Greetings all! Virginia here…recent victim of a stupid accident that I must related to triathlon (though the connection is rather dubious). On Thursday after work I stopped at Kroger to grab a few groceries. It was a rather luxurious grocery shopping trip because I had only one munchkin in tow (the three year old), rather […]

Coaching, Bourbon Street and Lessons

When it rains it pours. The Expert was in Orlando for work on Sunday through Tuesday. Of course Monday and Tuesday were some sort of cruel joke at my job–me sitting at my desk, biting my nails and looking at the clock trying to figure out how to meet two deadlines and pick up the […]

Just “THE UGLY”

Hi all! Virginia here. A bit ago I started a post called, “The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.” I decided that both the good and bad were pretty boring. Yes, the good can be uplifting, but it is still boring. What seems interesting to me is THE UGLY! So, this is my “the ugly” […]

Dear Young Married Couple –

Dear Young Married Couple – The fact that I am in this position–to write this post–is somehow surreal to me.  The fact that I am “old”–with kids and stretch marks and that young people look at me with pity in their young eyes–is bizarre. When did this happen to me? Wahhh! So you are young. […]

Six Thursday Things

She is Named.

So I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. Which might come as a massive surprise to many of you, given my love for endless ellipses… terrible (parentheticals) and Capitalization…and of course, my love for …the ALOT.  Pretty much; I know the grammar rules–I just choose not to follow them.  Which is some psychological […]

Turning Green

This post is sponsored by Repreve. All the love is my own. #turnitgreen FTC Disclosure here. The Swim Bike Family made some mega “green” moves lately. And I made a video. And the people say, “Oh lawdy.” So the Swim Bike Family has been working on teaching the Swim Bike Kids about living for a […]

Ready or not, here it is! 2014!

Hi Everyone, it’s Virginia! Well, 2013 is in the books, and I’m finally back here. I’ve been MIA for a while due to an unbelievably busy Fall/ early Winter. And, though things have been going well, I’ve just felt BORING. When I start to type a blog, I feel that no one wants to read […]
