This blog was created by two friends who made a pledge to try something new, fun, challenging, or even ridiculous every week for a year. At times, life got in the way, but we forged ahead. Our stories have educated, entertained or inspired many. In 2012, we hope to inspire many others to get better, get moving or get over it!

“My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was sixty. She’s ninety-three today and we don’t know where the hell she is.”~ Ellen DeGeneres There is a nature preserve and a trail beyond the backyard and past the deer fence of my weekend getaway house. I look out the kitchen window every time [...]

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye.” – Miss Piggy It’s ironic how you can set out to do one thing and it can take you in an entirely different direction. Sometimes things change course [...]

This week I discovered that Dr. Seuss was actually wrong once. He said, “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” I know what he is trying to say. I just think he’s wrong. The fact is, we all say too much [...]

“I have no more conditioner,” my 4th grade daughter reminded me as I dropped her at school last week, her hair looking frizzy, as she grabbed her book bag, kissed me goodbye and ran into school. I mentally added it to my list of things to do and dreaded the day ahead filled with mundane [...]

What really knocks me out is a book, when you’re all done reading it, you wished the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. The Catcher in the Rye I know it sounds cliché, but one of the [...]

So far, some weeks have been about emotional [...]

My silly little secret? For as long as I can remember, I have been intrigued by all things “spy” related – espionage thrillers, cheesy spy novels, undercover agents, TiVOing repeats of Alias, La Femme Nikita, and The Bourne Identity, even decoding the secret meaning of messages in my big sisters’ diaries way back when. I kept tabs [...]

96 socks, 40 pairs of underwear, 32 tee shirts, and 14 towels later (along with a host of other stuff that filled 2 enormous duffel bags each), the labeling and packing was done and my two girls were on their bus to sleep-away camp this week. I knew I was getting to my “52″ very [...]
