…and Boston will never be the same. I’m happy for Adam, I’m happy for Doodles (who, as Adam says, won’t have to live his life in constant want for a win), and I’m happy for me because I can go to sleep.

Once upon a time, when I was a corporate drone, I had a wonderful officemate, even though on occasion he did drive me crazy with his pachinko music (and refusing to wear headphones when listening to said music) and his penchant for pumping me for information on my dating life (which, at the time, could [...]

…on blogging when every three seconds I need to humor my husband and pretend I’m listening to him. “The Fox announcer is a moron.” “Don’t jinx this!” “On Sons of Sam Horn, someone wrote…” “This idiot on this list I’m on just said…” Sigh. In order to not jinx this, I’ll just say, one way [...]

With just five training runs until the big day, my drive is flagging. Part of the problem is that no one warned me that tapering is hard! In fact, I was relieved when my marathon-veteran friend Carly told me that she had a hard time tapering, because I was really starting to think it’s me. [...]

But lately I’ve been getting e-mail forwards from people I can’t do anything about. (I’m talking here about the jokes, about the [...]

I love my husband, but I sometimes think my life would be easier had I married a Marlins fan… or a Dodgers fan… or any other team’s fan (with the possible exception of the Cubs). I’m not sure he’s going to survive tonight.

The marathon nightmares, I mean. I dreamt that I had already run 30 of the 36 miles (I know a marathon is only 26.2 miles; give me a break, it’s just a dream), and I realized I hadn’t had anything to drink. I felt amazingly good–I had floated through those 30 miles and I couldn’t [...]

Note to self: When invited to any event (such as pumpkin decorating) with Doodles that involves paint, don’t wear your new shirt. Note to Adam: Next time I go out the morning after doing something (such as pumpkin decorating) with Doodles that involves paint, remind me that the jeans from the day before are covered [...]
