WHAT?
| July 31, 2015 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Of course the week before Tevis WordPress does *something* that reformats my site, which (among other things, but these are just the most annoying) has reformatted my header, defaulted the colors back to the original template green, and added some sort of annoying “share this” to the column on the right hand side that so […] more

Ironically as I was working on my last post, this cartoon had been in the works for a while – weeks actually. I run because it makes me happy is still the simple base truth, however last month as the one year anniversary of my sister’s unexpected death passed (and her birthday), and I was […] more
Running during pregnancy (with riding pictures)

I went riding with a friend on Saturday. Saturday’s mission was a calm, positive ride on Michele’s new mule (a Molly named Crystal) that may eventually do endurance if the mule enjoys it. It was a good, boring ride so there’s not much to tell. So instead, you get to enjoy pretty pictures of […] more
