While all of you are enjoying your Memorial Day…grilling meat or having picnics or whatnot…Tim and I are here, taking part in the race that was meant for us: The Bolder Boulder. Get it? BOLDER? (Our last name is Bold…for those of you who A: forgot; B: Didn’t know; or C: missed the punchline) We [...]

This was my guest post for Melinda over at Nutrition, Food, Travel and More.  I have no idea if any of you went over to check out her blog (You probably should, you know.  If for no other reason, for the pictures of food she posts that always leave me drooling)…but I wanted to share [...]

I think I’m finally back on the draft-to-published-reality schedule.  It’s either that or I can’t make myself talk about moving-in-new-house-lots-of-boxes-and-crap-everywhere anymore. So, I figured, since I didn’t celebrate 2011 by doing some kind of special post, I would share my resolution (That I just made like, yesterday.  Obviously I’m a few days behind): I always make some [...]

How do you get hospitalized for exhaustion? Because I think I need to play whatever card that allows me some REST. Tim does too. For like…a month…or so…. And just in case you happen to be the one admitting us, we must be put up in a private room with a special king sized hospital [...]

I have waited YEARS people. YEARS…to get one of these pictures. Y-E-A-R-S Y to the E to the ARS. (I cannot stress that enough. Can you tell?) I almost peed myself when I realized I would FINALLY get a photo to call my own. Peed myself as in: this is how the conversation went for [...]

All of our crazy angle, neato-burrito location, super incredible timing pictures? This is how they *happen*      Obviously, I am not involved in the standing-on-ledges  balancing-on-rocks  bending-in-unnatural-positions   Awesomeness.

Since we had no family…or friends…with us during the marathon, I had to beg the race director for pictures. Mostly because Tim’s race bib was #40 and the whole point of running THIS MARATHON was for his 40th birthday. And what happened? The universe aligned. One of those, “Yah. Right. Suuuure that happened…” It SO [...]

LOVE this shot. Lemme set the scene: On top of Haleakala.  It’s about 35 degrees with 30+ MPH winds blowing CONSTANTLY. We’re outside, waiting for and then finally watching the sunrise. And most everyone else? NOT freezing their asses off, hanging out inside the little building. In other words, NOT experiencing LIFE. Anyway, anyway, anyway – [...]

We’ve been home from Hawaii for what feels like forever (two weeks)…a lifetime (two weeks)…an eternity (two weeks)…and my body has finally gotten itself back on the *normal* schedule. And no one is happier than me about this return to routine. For the last two weeks… My legs…no, my thighs…have felt like sausages in my [...]

I learned that “mahalo” is basically a nice way of ending a statement that says you’re doing something wrong.  Or illegal.  Or really, really stupid. For example, on a trail Tim and I traversed to get to an INCREDIBLE waterfall, there was a random gate. (this is the waterfall.  I didn’t want to leave you [...]
