Making Strides

Hello blogosphere. The sun is shining , and although it's a little chilly, I would consider it a perfect day. I love sweater weather. :) I joined back up at the YMCA a few days ago so I wouldn't have an excuse to hibernate all winter. I went in yesterday, but had to stick to the treadmill because I wasn't quite sure how anything else worked! So sad. I'll have to do an equipment orientation soon. Looking forward to taking some classes though & ready to get my Tai-Chi on! I've heard it's relaxing, and since I have about zero flexibility it will be a nice alternative to the torture that some call yoga.
Brian has finally scheduled his GRE test for the end of the month, and as the application deadline for the graduate schools he is interested is Nov. 1st, we should know pretty soon (or at least in a few months) where he'll be going.
Exciting stuff!
Brian and I, along with his sister Melissa are doing a 4 mile walk on the 16th called Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. I'm looking forward to that, and hoping the weather cooperates. You can check out our team page and/or make a donation at:

I'm curious to see how many people are doing it. I still need to find something pink to wear. :)

Walking Away from Good-Enough, in Search of Can’t-Live-Without

It's easy (and safe) to keep the good-enough around. I want the can't live without!
