First Aid – with pictures!
| August 10, 2012 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
If you are a bit squeamish, you may not want to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the post. I will warn you. My barometer for gory things that might offend is based on what makes my boyfriend ill, as I seem to have lost my “what is appropriate for the general […] more
"What’s for lunch" post
| August 10, 2012 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
As you might have guessed these posts tend to go up when for some reason I won’t be able post something more substantial. In today’s case, my calves hurt (from riding in shorts), I’m still sore from working out Tuesday, I’ve had a migraine since yesterday, and then to top it off, when I was […] more
Update – nathan hydration pack
| August 9, 2012 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Remember the pack I bought? I used it on my fast paced ride that I wrote about yesterday. Bottom line? It works GREAT. I didn’t even notice the pack, I carried it half full of water, allowing for plenty of sloshing. Here’s the results: The good -It didn’t bounce-It didn’t slosh-It didn’t leak-I didn’t even […] more

I don’t own any horse-themed jewerly. I find much of the stuff on the market way too cutsy for my taste. And really, I’m sick of horseshoes – to me they don’t represent THE HORSE and my relationship with that animal – they are just things that we stick on them in order to use […] more
A story of "naive optimism" and sandbagging
| August 7, 2012 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I have a TON of product review updates and a few new things…. But first a bit of whining. I’m in a tremendous amount of pain. Enough pain that I’m wondering how well those vicodin in the cupboard would work, that was was given for the plantar wart removal that I never needed to take. […] more
May I announce…..
| August 5, 2012 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
The new Melinda. Or rather, the old Melinda. That isn’t really right either. How about, It took me 18 months to find myself again after a load of huge life changes, and to my delight, I was in there the entire time. I adore this picture. Rarely do I actually pose and smile for a […] more
