Just thought I’d mention to y’all that I’m now a featured lifestyle blogger on the Des Moines Register. To quote my friend Corey, it’s the modern-day equivalent of having a cable-access show!
Which reminds me of some of my favorite SNL sketches … and best movie to spawn [...]
I always have something cooking. So I’ve decided this is the year that I purge. And by purge, that means I honestly use all of the stuff that I’ve hoarded (ie. art and craft supplies) or they go to a good home or good will.
So, to start the year, I’m going to go through [...]
So I recently got a hold of my hard drive that has ALL of my projects on it from college. My ex-boyfriend had it because he was trying to fix it for me, but didn’t succeed. Well, maybe he did because I got it to work again.
Anyway, I found a lot of my [...]
Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s bad, but when it rains, it pours.
I’ve been kind of complaining about money lately (really, who isn’t?). I’d taken out some extra flex dollars this year to pay for physical therapy, so my paychecks are $100 less each month. I also bought a car, which means I’ve got a [...]
I haven’t updated much lately because I’ve got way too much going on!
Quick updates:
The other designer I work with is leaving next Thursday, so we’ll be down yet another person at work. I pride myself in saying that we hardly ever HAVE to stay late and when I do it’s of my own [...]
Today was my first day of my self-imposed spring break. I didn’t really have anything planned this week other than to get some rest and catch up on some running and possibly get some shopping done and MAYBE getting my hair cut.
I drove back to eastern Iowa today. Got up at 8ish, threw my [...]
Sitting here on a Sunday night watching family guy and painting my toenails. Exciting.
I have no desire to be going to bed anytime soon… Which stinks bc it’s Sunday night and we lost an hour this weekend and I have a hard time sleeping on Sundays anyway.
Plus I missed out on the gym [...]
I realized that I haven’t blogged about running for a while, and since the title of my blog is “running+life” (or is it life+running) I think I should probably do that from time to time.
Last weekend I was supposed to run 10 miles for my half marathon training plan (did I mentioned I started [...]
I’m so excited I just had to blog about this.
Went to the eye dr today for the first time since 2006. Shockingly my eyes have gotten better. I was surprised to hear that because they’ve consistently been getting worse since 4th grade (especially the left eye w/ astigmatism that is now apparently gone).
In [...]
Or at least it worked last night for the half hour drive from DSM to Ames.
In case you haven’t noticed, the appearance and electronic functionality of my car has gone way downhill in the past 3 years. It started with the dent in the side (from backing into a dumpster), then the interior lights [...]
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.
