Super Power #1: I’m the Idea Queen. I have lots of ideas, often. I’ve been told I don’t follow through on things, but in my habit of upcycling my thoughts and not focusing on the “buts” of my statements… I like to look at it as brainstorming (and I like to brainstorm out loud!). Some …
Today is a snow day in Rochester…and I’m not sure why (aside from the media hype). The storm totally missed us, but I’ll gladly use the extra hours at home to be productive (or blog and tweet!). The past 7 days have been full of soup! There aren’t really any recipes—I just put things together …
Hmmmm…What did I eat today? Who cares! I think you’ll be much more interested in what I drank… When I was in Florida recently with my former college roomies, we ate at Wolfgang Puck’s at Downtown Disney.

I’ve felt slightly off-track lately with food and fitness. My yoga teacher went to India for a month, so I boycotted yoga. I canceled my gym membership at the million dollar fancy gym (ok, it was only $115 a month…but geez). I had a hip problem, and a hip flexor problem…and a lower back problem. …

At 32, I occasionally have to remind myself that I am no longer a young adult… I’m full-fledged and all, even though I often get mistaken for a college student (which is nice at times—if you look young, people expect less of you. I can deal with the condescension I sometimes get at work because …
First, I apologize to anyone who lives in Aberdeen. This is a figurative expression, among the many adopted by my mom and me (similar to What’s Your Granola?) that really has nothing to do with the noun being used.
