The I just realized I never posted any photos from Ricki’s Birthday Bash Edition
So, here’s one. Tumblr, I’d like to present you with the birthday ratpack. 4 states, a few hundred miles, varying levels of employment, and one national holiday couldn’t keep us from celebrating RLK’s 22nd year.

The I just realized I never posted any photos from Ricki’s Birthday Bash Edition

So, here’s one. Tumblr, I’d like to present you with the birthday ratpack. 4 states, a few hundred miles, varying levels of employment, and one national holiday couldn’t keep us from celebrating RLK’s 22nd year.

(Context: It's yesterday. I've broken out the double stroller and I'm taking a mid-afternoon walk along with Tessa and Nate, two terrific toddlers.)
Me: Hey Naters, how about we sing?
Nate (age 2): 'ES!
Me: How about "Bingo?"
Nate: NO!
Me: How about... "The Wheels on the Bus?"
Nate: NO!
Nate: 'Ardy! 'Ardy!
Me: Again? I just finished a minute ago.
Nate: 'ARDY!
[Six blocks of "Party in the USA."]

Instructions for feeling good about yourself: pack you gym clothes ahead of time.

Instructions for feeling like an asshole: Get to the gym. Realize you’re missing your running shoes. Walk Scurry out of the building in chucks, track shorts and a giant sweatshirt.

It must be the beginning of the week because I went back.

It’s National Cupcake Day! …and now you know why we run!

I’m going to need that shirt.


I own this. It’s real cute. No longer accurate because I would rather eat carbs than run, but it used to be.

Of all the NCD posts out there, none ring as true and sweet as this.

Rob over at What’s the Deal DC (previously mentioned here) just added some cheer to my Monday morning.

This week, for every new DC sign-up they receive, the site will donate $1 to the charity of the user’s choice. This feature went live this morning and I highly suggest that popping over to sign up for great deals and holiday cheer. Click to head straight to the donation page.

A few wonderful choices:

  • Food & Friends: “The mission of Food & Friends is to foster a community caring for men, women, and children living with HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other life-challenging illnesses by preparing and delivering specialized meals and groceries in conjunction with nutrition counseling.”

Glad [Baby Sister]'s home from college because celebratory dinners mean this happens:
Me: Mom, you look *really* tired! You should definitely go to bed.
Mom: Oh, no. I just drank too much wine.
