HELLO bloglings!
I am BACK. Finally. It seems like it has been so much longer than 5 days. Driving from Iowa to Texas is kind of a long trip, in case you were wondering.
While I was out, I was working on trying to do the Fitmixer Bootcamp (week 1) while on the [...]
Guess what I did yesterday …
… besides bust into Thriller* at the gym?
Hey. There were some creepos staring at me. So I gave them a reason to stare. Thanks, MJ.
I finished LIVEFIT. Finally. Oh, and I RAN. Yeah. Considering my blog is life + running, I’ve [...]
You might have noticed this badge on my sidebar:
I am doing the Fitmixer Boot Camp — which starts TODAY. Thank you to Janetha for blogging about this opportunity because I’m PUMPED to participate.
What is Fitmixer Boot Camp? Well, their website gives a pretty good synapsis. But [...]

Thanks everybody … especially Chobani … for participating.

I forgot to mention yesterday that Mark bought a grill over the weekend.
Okay. I might have lied about the “forgetting to mention” just there. If you didn’t notice the expiration date on the yogurt from yesterday … you probably didn’t know that I pre-scheduled that post. I knew I’d be too busy to [...]
I recently finished my Wool Eater Blanket.
But then I remembered I have a granny square Roseanne afghan that I still need to weave in all the ends before it’s finished. I started working on the ends during a rainy day this past week.
Word to the wise: Weave in all [...]
This post is not about muffin top or tight pants. It’s about crafting.
But I am wearing the TIGHTEST pants today. They used to be my favorite work pants. I could slide them on and off without unbuttoning them. Then I gained 15 pounds (needed to gain 5-7 of that). Then I lost 10. Then [...]
I was crazy busy this weekend making a ton of bags for a sale this upcoming Saturday. FORTY FIVE of them to be exact. I almost ran out of zippers from my bag o’ 100 zippers and I’m going to have to re-order from the bulk zipper lady on etsy before I can make any [...]

Hi there. I'm Calee. Not Caylee. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 27, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
