It’s no secret that I love Megadeth. In fact, I’m what you might call a mega-ficionado, given the fact that I own Megadeth potholders, towels, and a Dave Must-apron.
However, I stumbled across a Megadeth song I didn’t know existed. It’s actually an Alice Cooper song, so I’m doubly surprised I wasn’t [...]
I’ve been keeping this mostly to myself so far, but I registered for the 2013 IMT Des Moines Marathon on Monday. It’s on Sunday, October 20, 2013 — 10 months from yesterday, so that should be ample time to train.
I ran the 2008 IMT Des Moines [...]
Two weeks ago I introduced #operationpantsfit. In that post I said, “Newsflash: Healthy is not a look. It’s a way of being.”
Being healthy is SO much more beyond how you look, what you eat, or even the exercise you do (or don’t do). Some of the “unhealthiest-looking” people are far more healthy [...]
I realized a couple of weeks ago when I got a pedicure at my local salon that there were a lot of squealing girls around the joint. Must be homecoming time again, which prompted me to finally scan some more of my high school photos.
Homecoming at Monticello High School always entailed an entire [...]
Happy Monday! My weekend was so jam-packed with stuff that I was actually glad that I got to sleep in this morning (read: 6:30 was sleeping in … yikes!).
Thanks again, Katie, for hosting another Marvelous in my Monday.
Though I wasn’t at Fitbloggin‘ like most of my [...]
I’m definitely straying from the fitness portion of the WIAW theme, but we had a lot of fun and a whole lot of food in celebration of Mark’s birthday month.
Mark’s actual birthday was last Tuesday. We started the month out with a birthday brunch. [...]
Barely. But I looked cute while doing it.
Cabrewing is a yearly camping and canoeing trip that our college friends have been doing for the past 6 years. This is the first year I went. Mark is a 3 year veteran. I say veteran because this trip is intense.
I’m an expert canoe-er. I [...]
Happy Monday! I’m putting some Marvelous in My Monday (#MIMM) by sharing some designy stuff with you.
Hope you had a fantastic weekend. I spent the good part of yesterday afternoon teaching a vintage ceramic painting class. It was a drop-in class, meaning you didn’t have to sign up ahead of time [...]
Before I get into my WIAW-ness, I have to share something! My friend Cat has been bugging me to help her get in shape. And by bugging, I mean she keeps asking for advice, and I am LOVING it! It is so refreshing to hear somebody asking how hard they should work to be as [...]
Hi there. I'm Calee (pronounced CAL-e). If that's too hard, just call me Cal. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 28ish, 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.
