Little Devil in Disguise

Our little Abby has several names. The most prominent is "Punkin" or "Punkin Pie." No reason for the nickname, I just kind of gave it to her.

We've also called her "Evil Abby" when she's being naughty. "Jessica" is her sir name when she's acting well... not so bright (so, she's PRETTY, but not very smart, just like Jessica Simpson). I call her Stinky sometimes, because she's ALWAYS having ear issues and they STINK!

Well, today I had to take her to the vet to get some medicine for her ears, they just weren't getting better. First thing on the agenda was to get her weight. She proudly hopped up on that scale, like it was a fashion show catwalk, or something. (nice to see that she doesn't have "body weight issues" like most young ladies...) Anyway, the nurse said - "Oh, oh no... she's 66.6lbs!!!" I start applauding her because she's always been so skinny and scrawny and exclaimed, "Wow Punkin, you are a BIG girl now!!!" But, this nurse... she was being all rude - like & almost gawking at the weight. I'm thinking she can't possibly be calling my little girl chubby???

Then, I figured it out. "6 6 6." See, I guess Abby really does have a little devil in in her :-) But, come on..... look at these faces. You know she'll be getting some extra treats this weekend to get her past that .6lbs!!

"Sweet TIRED Punkin"...


And, I'm looking for trouble... "Evil Abby"

What are you doing calling our little girl the devil? I've got your back, Abby. If only you were smart enough to understand that your momma is picking on you...

Kona 23'

It's been a while! I started this blog/journal to document training adventures for my first Ironman in 2007. It was a fun adventure and *back then* blogging was the social media of today. It connected me with so many special people that I met and continue to keep in contact with (albeit, not enough). Life got busy, training was more of a lifestyle then a new adventure and sharing my daily with the world became just, well irrelevant. While so much has changed since my last post, there is still a lot of the same. My love for swimming, biking and running, dogs and wine is still there, but my desire to keep pushing and find new boundaries has definitely faded. Over 20 years in this endurance world I've found more in myself then I ever dreamed possible. I've met the most amazing people and traveled to beautiful places.  In 2021 after several years of pandemic chaos, I brought myself back to top end fitness and lined up for my 14th Ironman and 8th IMCDA. I had a solid day, 6th in...

Happy Birthday to me.....

NO I'm not 30 QUITE yet..... BUT, I already got my first birthday present....:-) You all know I love me some RED. Kinda like SHE loves her some Pink. Except, I don't have to wear it every day. My bike isn't red (although it would be so cool if it were). I do however have: a red wall kitchen red (black & white) dishes a new red phone sassy red shoes a red wallet but... the one thing I've been waiting for.... a NEW RED HANDBAG ! I've been checking this site obsessively for a new season of RED to come out. And wouldn't you know.. the new season is here, and it was FULL OF RED. And, not the flashy fire red , but the pretty dark deep red that I love.... And then.. wouldn't you know it... a couple days after said find, I get a preferred customer coupon in the mail for 25% off.... If only the timing weren't so bad. If only I still wasn't making up for my IM expenses. If only it were MY birthday this month not his . After about a week of obsessi...

All about the SHOES

Well, I'm pretty sure that title grabbed a few of my fellow shoe whores :-) Unfortunately, this isn't a post about some really cool new shoes , or boots I purchased, or received... or even HAVE for that matter. Boo hoo. I would love me some new shoes though. Something about fall and cute new pumps that go perfect with Jeans. You know, for all those time I shower, and actually blow dry my hair.... and try to remember how to put make on and all. Whatever, you get the point. No cute new shoes. Blah. Bet Shane read the title and thought I ordered myself something online... again :-) Anyway, this post is about RUNNING shoes. Boring, I know.. but, probably one of the single most important things to being a successful, injury free runner (you know, cause I'm all of that and all - ha!).... I've been thru it all. Several running assessments, orthotics, Adidas, Nike, Saucony, Brooks... you name it, I've probably tried it (remember, shoes we are talking about here people). In...
