I had a kind of naughty and crazy idea.
Then I bought the ammo.
And then? I actually did it.
I must warn you. This is far too sugary for me. If you do decide to make this? Small portions or you might die of high sugar intake. I was flying high the [...]
Oddly, this is probably my most running-related post for a while. And it’s a short essay that my college boyfriend wrote. He’s currently working on a masters in creative writing. I’m keeping him anonymous because he is pretty private on the internet, and I don’t want this cropping up in a search engine somewhere. Well, [...]
Guess what I did yesterday …

Hey. There were some creepos staring at me. So I gave them a reason to stare. Thanks, MJ.

Um. I keep promising you blog lovin’ and I don’t deliver. So I’m going to quit talking about it — except for the fact that once I’m back from Austin next week, I’ll have a bit more time to write those posts, and I have one drafted for every week through September. [...]

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 [...]

Sunday morning we woke up again for some boot camp action. [...]
In case you forgot, I was at Blend this weekend. It. Was. AWESOME.
These people are my people. In short? I learned:
Sarah from the Smart Kitchen wants to come to Iowa because she has a (secret?) love of musicals and one takes place at the Iowa State Fair. [...]
While I’m out at BLEND this weekend, I scheduled some pretty primo guest bloggers for your enjoyment. Today’s guest blogger is Kelly from [ insert clever title here ].
It’s been a while since I’ve done a flashback Friday. When I asked one of my best friends, Kelly, to guest post, she [...]
The winner of the Chobani giveaway is:
Heather!
I’ll need your address so the good people at Chobani can send you your yogurt!
Thanks everybody … especially Chobani … for participating.
Also, Lindsay (one [...]

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.
