Hey guys. Head on over to Twenties Hacker today to read my post about Jillian Michaels’ 30 Day Shred. It’s a good one.
Also, I have to share that I *finally* watched the Star Wars trilogy. The original one. Unfortunately the version with all the added crap, which even [...]
Oh, so in case you’re wondering what I ended up buying, in regard to the dress post from last week, I went with the white sale dress and the pink dress. The pink dress ended up being SEE THRU. And the waist was [...]
I need your help with something very important. But first, a quickie recap of Easter weekend.
I hung out at home by myself on Sunday because I couldn’t find anybody to watch Barney, and he’s not a very friendly dog, so I can’t just take him everywhere with me. However, it turned out that I [...]
Happy Friday everybody!
Got any big plans for the weekend? I have a full one ahead — tonight: Livefit day 59, hanging out with my friend Stephanie from high school who’s in town for Easter; tomorrow: getting my oil changed, helping a friend move, working on a TON of zip bags for [...]
The patchwork class I taught Saturday and Sunday was a success. I even learned something. Two of the ladies in the class were hardcore quilters, but needed help figuring out how to pick fabrics and wanted a fresh look at things, which is why they took my class. I kept getting guff for not pressing [...]
It’s going to be 80° today. I think I mentioned that I can’t STAND hair touching my face or neck when it’s hot. I don’t like hair in my face anyway, but it’s especially annoying when it’s hot.
Should I be patient and wait another month to see if I can ponytail this shiz by the end of April? Or should I just el-chop-o?
oh hai dere.
You may or may not have noticed that my blog went from pretty bland to freaking screaming pink in about 24 hours.
Aaaaaand you might have also noticed that it’s not “chimesblog” anymore. It’s back to “life + running”.
Whaaaaa? Wait. What?
Exactly.
So this all started when I decided to [...]
Hi there. I’m feeling … SUPER. Thanks for asking.
Ames Prom was this past weekend. If you’re new to my blog, Ames Prom is a charity event which involves a bunch of adults getting dressed up and silly for a good cause. This year we helped out the animals. I love [...]
last weekend I got the itch to change my hair. yeah. that happens quite often around these parts.
I decided to go from brunette to blonde. In one day. Anybody who knows anything about hair knows that you can’t do this with box color (yikes) and that you really probably shouldn’t do this [...]

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.
