Introduction: Chocolate Marshmallow Meltaways
The weather is starting to cool down!! And although you can't tell here in Arizona, I'm sure some places are starting to look like Fall. This morning actually felt cool outside (which for us dessert folk means that it was in the 80's). We are still hitting over 100 degrees daily though, but I see cool weather coming very soon. Yay!!
This cookie was really fun and totally hits the spot! I love marshmallows and my husband hates them, but this was a crowd pleaser for everyone at my house. I had to talk him into eating the first one, because it had marshmallow in it, but before I knew it he had downed 3 more. So yummy! The cookie is kind of dry and crumbly, almost like a peanut butter cookie, the marshmallow is gooey, and the frosting is smooth and creamy. It's like the all time perfect mini dessert!! "Delicious" is all I have to say about this cookie! Enjoy :)
1/2 cup butter-flavored shortening
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
18 large marshmallows, halved
3 tablespoons butter, softened
3 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons baking cocoa
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 to 6 tablespoons milk
In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, milk and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda.
Gradually add the creamed mixture and mix well.Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes.
Press a marshmallow half, cut side down, onto each cookie; bake 2 minutes longer. Remove to wire racks to cool.
In a small bowl, beat the butter, confectioners' sugar, cocoa and salt until smooth. Add enough milk to achieve a spreading consistency. Frost cookies.
Yield: About 3 dozen cookies.

Hi! How long should I bake them if my oven can only go up to 250 C?
Thanks upfront! <3
It's 350 degrees fahrenheit, so if you are using celsius then set your oven to 177 degrees. Hope this helps.
Yes, it helps! Thank you!
these look amazing! I'm going to make them this week and test them on my daughters and grandkids. I'm always looking for a new recipe to make and share. We love to bake at my house and my hubby loves to "taste test" all the new recipes lol. Thank you so much
That looks so unbelievably delicious! You have the best recipes!!
Thank you :)!!!

Awesome - thank you very much.
I LOVE this bracelet! I love gemstones anyway and Connie set this focal stone perfectly by using smaller 6mm beads to complement it. I can feel the good energy from this stone and know Connie's energy and good taste make this a special piece!
It is a pleasure working w/ Connie! She has every answer you could possibly want on an item and was even willing to change the chain for me to a black silk cord to go w/ all the black/turquoise clothes combos I wear! She also adds special touches like wire guardians and crimp caps which let patrons know they are getting a quality-constructed purchase. Thank you, Connie for helping to balance my throat chakra with your tasteful design!
So stunning I had to have both! I will probably send one as a gift to my daughter...unless I decide to wear one on each wrist! And they arrived sooner than I thought they would--I was able to show my bracelet off at a friend's get-together and am sending the many compliments to you, Connie!
I'm so pleased with this seller! Sent quickly, and she gift wrapped it, even though I didn't request it. A perfect gift for my eldest daughter's 12th birthday!!!
Thank you SO much!

I dreamed a dream of you and I
Walking side by side
In a world where society was background noise
And you and I were free to be
But maybe we live a dream
And my dream was within itself
Creating a perfect reality
Where surrealism comes to life
And our inner most desires realised
These constraints that nail us to the ground
Prevent us from floating away
Ground us in a new reality
And if reality is but a dream within a dream
Who's to say we can't shape our own?
Maybe one day soon we will hold hands
Like we used to in another world
Grow old together
Forever immortalised in our dreams
You would hold me
With subtle hesitation
Like you had the courage to do
In this dream I dreamed of you.
Nokia 2; when in doubt, I dream.

Let's face it: America isn't the booming economy it once was. Those who haven't ventured beyond the U.S. markets have gained a mere 29% from the S&P 500 (SPY) over the past five years. The MSCI EAFE index (EFA) has more than doubled that return, with 66% gains. Neither comes close, however, to the three-year returns of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index -- 146%! And that's an index.
Beyond the crippling of our housing market and high inflationary pressures, we've lost some of our power as a world leader. Global expansion is shifting to developing nations. Emerging countries now account for 30% of world GDP. Three of the five largest companies in the world are Chinese. Heck, PetroChina
Emerging markets move toward maturity
Historically, global market movements have been tied to the U.S. economy. That still holds true -- to an extent. For instance, just this year we've seen countless stocks that have little or no exposure to the U.S. drop erratically in response to our housing and credit problems.
However, our economy is becoming less important in the sustainability of these countries' long-term growth. As emerging markets develop, their population accumulates wealth, which allows them to rely less on exports to the United States to facilitate growth. Accordingly, as The Economist noted, China's exports to America have dropped to 24% of the country's total, down from 34% in 1999. In fact, many of these countries are relying on fellow emerging markets to fuel their growth.
Whether it's finding the next must-have item like Crocs
Many investors have just caught on to big Chinese names such as Baidu.com
Hola, South America
Right now, South America is where China and India were years ago.
While valuations look stretched, they're not as stretched as in Asia, and the region is loaded with some of the richest minerals in the world and improving macroeconomic stability. The region is progressing from its prior state of political weakness, high inflation, and economic crisis. And even after years of good returns, the South American market trades at a discount to the world index.
Recovery in progress
Fundamentally, companies headquartered in South America have strengthened in recent years. Governments are more cash-rich, and as a result, many of these countries will attain investment-grade sovereign debt in the near future. These higher debt ratings effectively lower the cost of borrowing and thus allow these economies to invest at lower cost and grow at even higher rates.
South America's shaky history has left the region lagging in infrastructure. Investors should therefore look at companies that will benefit from the need to build telecommunication lines, transportation systems, and utility plants. This groundwork must be laid before other growth can occur.
Companies such as Brasil Telecom Participacoes
Don't just wish you could have had these returns
With its bubbling valuations, you may not still have time to get into China.
But fear not. You can avoid China's now-substantial valuation risks and buy into an economy that is still in its early stages of development.
If China and India's past performance is any indication of what high-growth emerging markets can return to investors, you won't want to miss this opportunity. Need help getting started?

Gardening in Mississippi and the South: May, June, and July
With all the recent flooding of farmlands in Mississippi, some are predicting skyrocketing food prices and food riots by late August or early September. I suggest you head this possibility off and start your own garden if you haven't already done so. Your family's survival may depend on it.
In the Vegetable Garden
- Cover unplanted vegetable beds with clear plastic to sterilize soil and kill weed seeds and disease.
- Renew old beds with fresh compost, fertilize and lime if necessary.
- Sow tomato, eggplant, cabbage, collards, and rutabaga seeds indoors for a fall crop.
- Make summer plantings of hot weather vegetables like okra, black-eyed peas, lima beans, watermelons, and sweet potatoes. Also replant beans, corn, carrot, cucumber, radishes, peppers, squash, zucchini, pumpkins, kale, Swiss chard, chicory, and Florence fennel.
- Tie climbing beans to supports as soon as they are large enough.
- Weed and water regularly. Keep a large water barrel near the garden or beside the house where you can catch any summer rainfall. You can put it at a downspout to catch most of what comes off the roof. Use this water to water your garden.
- Harvest beans, onions, garlic, eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, squash, summer greens. Lift first new potatoes, carrots, turnips, and beets.
- Fertilize asparagus plants. Do not cut down until fall. Save any seed from female plants.
- Make new sowings of successional crops in July like lettuce, carrots, radishes, beans, and greens.
- Pinch out side shoots and growing tips of tomatoes and growing tips of climbing beans when at the top of supports. Fertilize.
In the Herb Garden
- Take cutting of perennial herbs to propagate.
- Plant out any herbs grown from seed like chives, fennel, dill, mints, oregano, rosemary, sage, tarragon, thyme, caraway, chamomile, Spanish lavender, and lemon balm.
- Weed and water regularly.
In the Flower Garden
- Prune evergreen shrubs to keep the growth compact.
- Prune old roses after blooming by about 1/3.
- Sow fast growing annual flowers like zinnias and marigolds directly in the garden.
- Deadhead annual and perennial flowers and cut back after bloom.
- Put mulch around plantings to protect from drought.
- Water and weed regularly.
- Hint- Daylily flowers are edible and taste like lettuce.

Joining Thomas Broich for the July 20 clash will be striker Besart Berisha, former Manchester United midfielder Liam Miller and goalkeeper Michael Theo to have the Roar-s All Stars contingent standing at four.
Albanian international Berisha was the Hyundia A-League Golden Boot winner for the 2011-12 season, has scored 35 goals in 56 appearances over the past two seasons and will be no doubt looking to add to his tally when the Red Devils come to town.
Midfielder Liam Miller spent two seasons at United between 2004 & 2006 making nine appearances for the Red Devils, he has recently joined the Roar for the 2013-14 season after the Irish international midfielder played three seasons with the Perth Glory where he was one of the club-s standouts.
Shot stopper Theo has been one of the A-League-s most consistent goalkeepers after returning from a brief stint in England in 2010. Theo is one of the most decorated A-League players with four championships, three premierships and three goalkeeper of the year awards across both the Roar and the Melbourne Victory.
The players do not have time for their selection to sink in with the players going into camp in Sydney today.
Fans will have the opportunity to interact with their favourite All Stars players with open training session to be held at 9.30am on Sunday July 14 at Sydney Olympic Park Warm Up Arena.

Deena Kastor to race 2016 Olympic Trials Marathon
American marathon record holder Deena Kastor will race the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials on Feb. 13 in Los Angeles looking to make her fourth Olympic team, race organizers announced
Kastor, 42, was hesitant on declaring to compete for the trials as she focuses on preparing her Mammoth Track Club teammates for their own race. On Monday, she informed the Local Organizing Committee in Los Angeles, of which she is a member, that she planned to compete for one of three spots on next summer's Olympic team.
After a successful career at Arkansas, Kastor made her first Olympic team for the 10,000-meter run in 2000. Four years later, Kastor won a bronze medal in the marathon at the 2004 Olympics in Athens. She won the 2008 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials, but pulled out of the Olympic marathon in Beijing with a broken foot.

She finished sixth at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials.

good riddance winter – – you have been here quite long enough.
in bidding adeiu to the bone-chilling temps {hopefully soon} i happily close out my first winter in new york with some lovely photographs of sophie + hazel taken by jennifer crook {at the beginning of the season}! happy spring y'all!!
after saying sayonara to juggling a full-time mom + career driven life, i have found myself fighting an internal battle and am wondering if others struggle with the same game of tug-of-war. i, on one hand am 100% content with where i am in my life – i am head over heels in love with my husband + little gals and pinch myself often to be reminded how lucky i am to be able to dedicate the majority of my days {+ nights} to managing our home. this new position has kept me rather busy and does quite well at draining me by the end of the day. yet, there are points in my day that silence screams at the top of her lady lungs telling me that if she is around then maybe i am not doing enough.
i'll be honest, i have never quite loved – shall i dare say it – silence. i find myself drawn to background sounds {although sometimes subtle}, as they inspire me. if silence is approached incorrectly, she can become a real joy killer full of self doubts and questioned motivations.
today a wise friend joined me for coffee and offered great insight into my crazy, internal world full of juxtapositions. she acknowledged that silence can indeed be a culprit for allowing space to overanalyze, yet can also allow for time to count the small victories in a day. she laughed as she recalled telling her husband about one of her "small" daily victories and realized that although he may not fully grasp her over-excitedness for what she had completed, she was confident that it helped to form a positive overall experience for her family that day.
as she spoke i was challenged to record my daily victories in order to view a bigger picture of how my commitments to matt, sophie, hazel and our community can indeed impact lives.
i am now empowered to face my days {and the silence it brings} understanding that how i deal with each "small" circumstance is not in vain.
i challenge you … put down your preconceived notions of living life {or worse yet … appearing to live life} in the grandiose way that the world tells you to and begin celebrating all of those small victories!
HOME. by definition home is a "permanent structure" where people dwell.
i couldn't wait to get my hands on our new humble abode in brooklyn, new york 9 months ago to creatively design our space challenged home with touches of familiarity. i love our home – – not only for the design details but for the lessons this humble space has taught me.
ironically – shortly after moving to new york, matt's travel schedule sped up and he found himself splitting his time between los angeles and myrtle beach for his current show, welcome to myrtle manor. our new york experience – although chock full of challenges – has been the best thing for this "bi-coastal family" and has allowed us to redefine the word home.
before moving to new york i was disillusioned to think that a strong woman could handle life on her own while "seeming" to have it all under control. our short time of brooklyn dwelling has completely shattered my prideful thinking and i have realized that in order to live a fuller more enriching life i have to accept that i cannot "do life" on my own. our friends {both in brooklyn and elsewhere} have offered us a community full of laughter, encouragement, support and have opened my eyes to the meaning of family – – giving insight to how we are called to live intentionally with each other.
the time that matt has been away has not been in vain. i am thankful that the distance has offered a different perspective of both of our contributions to our family, reminding us that our family does not work without the other.
although i love entering the doors of our humble abode – – this place is not my home – – rather matt, sophie + hazel are all the home i will ever need!
"Hold on, to me as we go
As we roll down this unfamiliar road
And although this wave is stringing us along
Just know you're not alone
Cause I'm going to make this place your home
Settle down, it'll all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found
Just know you're not alone
Cause I'm going to make this place your home
Settle down, it'll all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found
Just know you're not alone
Cause I'm going to make this place your home"

How to Choose the Right Dog for You
October 5, 2014
With so many deserving dogs in need of a home, how do you choose the right one for you? Use our guide to help.
Adding a dog to your family can be such a rewarding and life-changing experience.
They enrich our lives and have the amazing ability to give and receive love unconditionally. A dog is a loyal companion and friend, an instant playmate, a guardian, but they are also a long-term commitment.
You will be the most special person in your dog's life and they will be dependent on you. As a member of your family, it will be your responsibility to care and provide for your dog in sickness and in health. Before making this major life decision, it's important to think it through and find the dog that best fits your lifestyle, personality, and family dynamic.
The choice can be overwhelming; there are so many adorable dogs to choose from, and they all deserve to find a loving home. How do you choose the right dog for you? Do a little soul-searching and ask yourself a few key questions:
Why do you want to adopt a dog? Why now? Companionship? To replace a recently lost pet or loved one? Knowing the answer to this question will help determine what dog best suits you.
Are you ready to make a 10 to 15 year commitment? Your dog will be dependent on you for their health and well-being, and will always require an investment of love, time, and money.
Do you have the time and resources to commit to a dog? ALL dogs need daily affection, exercise, socialization, and regular grooming and vet care.
The ASPCA estimates the first year costs of owning a dog between $1,100 and $1,800, depending on size and grooming requirements. These numbers do not include the costs of unexpected or emergency vet care.
Will you be able to spend quality time with your dog? Dogs are pack animals by nature and thrive on being part of a family. If they are left alone for long periods of time, it can lead to behavioral issues. If you travel all the time, or consistently work 9+ hour days, the timing may not be right to add a dog to your family.
Are you willing to train your dog? Lack of training is one of the most common reasons that adopters surrender their dogs to shelters. Basic training helps the dog understand your rules and what you expect from them. It also teaches you how to communicate with your dog and strengthens the overall relationship.
Do you live in a condo, or a house with a fenced yard?
Do you have kids or seniors in your home?
Adding a new dog is a family decision and should include input and buy-in from all its members. Examine your lifestyle and personality, and be honest about the amount of resources and time you can commit to exercising, playing with, and grooming your dog. Here are some other factors to consider:
Puppies - Everyone loves a puppy. They are adorable, but they also require the most time, attention, and training, especially in the first 6 months. Do you have the time and patience to train a puppy and deal with frequent potty breaks, teething, chewing, cleaning up messes, and their higher energy level? When you adopt a puppy, you don't necessarily know the personality and energy level the dog will have as an adult, but you do have the opportunity to train them early to live by your rules, and shape their behavior.
Adult dogs – Adult dogs over two years old are a great option for most families. They have already grown into themselves and have established personalities, so you know what you're getting. They've typically been "socialized" with people and the outside world, and understand what it takes to be part of your family pack. They have calmer temperaments, make fewer demands on your time, and are worldlier - many have already experienced car rides or know how to walk on a leash, so they're ready to be an instant companion.
Senior dogs – Senior dogs also make great pets; they are confident in their skin, grateful for a loving and safe home, and are happy to either walk a sedate mile with you or lounge on the sofa next to you. Just like humans, senior dogs require more frequent veterinary visits, medications, and procedures, but there is also a great reward knowing that your senior pup was happy and truly loved when they left this earth. At shelters, older dogs are the least likely to be adopted and the first to be euthanized. Adopting a senior dog is your opportunity to be a hero and get a wonderful companion in return.
The size of the dog that best fits your family is often determined by your family makeup. A very small dog is at risk in a family with young children who may perceive it to be a toy. Small dogs tend to be more delicate and vulnerable, so being mishandled can lead to injury, or the dog responding in a negative way. If you have younger children in your home, you may want to consider a medium-sized dog over six months old.
Families who live in apartments or condos, or have older or physically challenged members may do better with a small adult or senior dog because they are calmer and need less space. A young, large dog often plays rough, needs lots of exercise, and can be an obstacle in walking paths. Large dogs typically mean more food, exercise, longer walks, and need more space to run and play.
Remember: every adorable puppy starts out small, but they can grow quickly. You can look up the dog's breed online to get a feel for the different heights and weights of the breeds you are considering.
All dogs need routine exercise to stay healthy and balanced, but some dogs need more than others. If you don't meet your dog's exercise needs, they are more prone to behavioral problems, like chewing up things they're not supposed to or bouncing off the walls with excitement. Be honest and realistic with yourself about the amount of time you can commit to exercising your dog.
Your personal lifestyle and living arrangements factor in too. If you live in an apartment or condo or have a more sedentary lifestyle, you probably shouldn't adopt a high energy dog that needs to run and play every day. If you are an active family that likes to run and hike, a younger, medium-to-large energetic pup would be a better fit for you than a small toy dog.
You can't rely on breed alone to gauge a dog's energy level, because dogs have unique personalities and requirements independent of their breed. Age, breed, and temperament are all factors that impact a dog's energy level.
All dogs need basic grooming, but some dogs with longer coats (terriers, shih tzu, spaniels, retrievers, etc.) require more upkeep and routine grooming every four to six weeks. Most dogs shed, but some dogs shed all year round; some shed in clumps for a few weeks, some dogs shed only a little bit. Long-coated dogs are beautiful to look at, but require some effort to stay that way. Short-coated dogs are easier to care for, but may still shed, and require protection in cold or wet weather. Decide how much dog hair you're willing to put up with, and how much time and money you can afford to dedicate to grooming your dog.
As part of the Mutts Matter Rescue team, I have some bias on this topic, and strongly believe in rescuing versus buying your next dog from a pet store or breeder. Sadly, between 7 and 11 million unwanted animals are euthanized in the US every year. These are healthy, adoptable pets whose only fault is that they don't have a place to call home. We have a large overpopulation problem here, and most people are unaware of how many wonderful dogs and cats of all breeds are waiting in shelters and rescues for someone to love them.
Rescues can be a great resource to help you find the right dog for your family. All of Mutts Matter's dogs live in a foster home; they live with our husbands, wives, kids, and other pets too. This personal connection with the dog gives us a better sense of their personality and level of socialization, and helps us understand the type of home and family that will best suit them.
Rescuing a dog in need is a virtuous endeavor and the right thing to do. You can rescue dogs of every age, breed, and temperament, from purebred to mutt, and in all shapes in sizes. Saving an animal's life is not just a good thing to do, but it will reward you in ways that you may not expect.

Originally, I had intended to share a savoury recipe with you today. However, after a last minute change of heart I decided to post this chocolate truffle tart instead. Last week, I had been working on a really tasty scrambled tofu buckwheat bowl recipe that I absolutely fell in love with. The tofu dish is full of so many delicious flavours and lots of amazing ingredients, and I had already made plans for the post! I even mentioned it on my instagram yesterday. However, as a result of my last minute dessert making yesterday, I ended up making something on a whim that was just so special, I had to share it with you here first. It's something I instantly became so obsessed with.
Yesterday, I decided to create myself a chocolate tart just for some fun. You know how much I love chocolate, and when it's on my mind I just have to eat it. Hahaha! I was really craving something chocolatey, and I decided that I would make myself this tart. I based the recipe on my original mocha tart, and then added in a really fudgy, decadent chocolate base. For the truffle effect, I used cocoa butter in the filling to give it a firmer, more solid texture. The double chocolate combination was sheer bliss, and it was perfect for my cravings. The creaminess and richness of the tart was incredible, and after just one bite of it, I was completely hooked. I knew I had to write the recipe up on here asap so you could try it, so that's why I decided to post it today – even though it means waiting an extra few days before seeing my new buckwheat bowl recipe..!
When it came to decorating the tart, I wanted to stick with all chocolatey ingredients. I decided to top it with a few crumbled pieces of Raw Gorillas Cacao Munchies, which the brand had kindly gifted to me, and a sprinkling of cocoa powder. The raw munchies added a really nice crunchiness to the tart, and paired perfectly with the flavours. I would definitely recommend trying them!
I actually ate some of this tart for breakfast this morning.. I just can't help myself. It's so delicious! I hope you enjoy the recipe!
chocolate truffle tart
serves about 8-10
for the base:
275g medjool dates (about 14)
1/2 cup (60g) cocoa powder
1/2 cup (80g) Brazil nuts
1/4 tsp vanilla powder
pinch salt
for the top:
1 cup (165g) cashews
1/2 cup (75g) cocoa butter – I used Real Food Sources drops
1/2 cup + 1 tbsp (140ml) maple syrup
1/2 cup + 1 tbsp (140ml) water
1/3 cup (45g) cocoa powder
1/4 cup (20g) raw cacao powder
5 drops liquid stevia
1/2 tsp vanilla powder
pinch salt
- Firstly, make the base. Add the dates, cocoa powder, brazil nuts, vanilla and salt into a food processor and blend for a few minutes or so until they have formed a sticky crumb consistency. When this is done, pour the mixture into a cake tin which has a removable base (I used a 7.5″/18 cm tin). Then, press the mixture firmly into the tin so that it sticks together and forms a base. Then, set it aside.
- Next, add the cocoa butter into a small pan and place it onto a low-medium heat. Stir it together for a couple of minutes or so until it has melted. Then, pour it into a strong blender (I used my Froothie Optimum G2.1 Blender) with the cashews, water and maple syrup. Blend the mixture until it is smooth. Then, add in the cocoa powder, cacao powder, vanilla and salt, and blend again until smooth.
- When the topping is smooth, get your cake tin and remove all of the topping from the blender, and pour it onto the base to cover it. Then, move the tart into the freezer to set for about 30 minutes. When the tart has set, remove it from the cake tin, slice and serve. Keep it in the fridge, or somewhere cool in between servings.

That issue also featured a symposium on Sylvia Plath's "Tulips". As this has turned out to be "Art Efron Friday" at New Savanna, I figured I'd publish a set of photographs of tulips.

Thankful Things Thursday: Let's Make This Quick
Date: September 27, 2012 at 9:16 am- by Ali- Comment(s): 32
In the spirit of promising not to complain about being busy (so busy — this job is great but it is killing meeee) or tired (I'd like to go to sleep from now until next Tuesday, and that still may not be enough to feel caught up), let's just get right to it today, OK?
It's Thankful Things Thursday, dang it, and no amount of work or lack of sleep can take that away from me!
I'm thankful for my health, because even at my sickest I'm really not that sick. A few weeks ago, when I was rock-bottoming, I would have slapped someone for saying this. Because the reality was that I was completely miserable — and I had been for weeks and weeks — and I was convinced I was the sickest person in the world, and no one would ever feel the type of pain I was feeling, and no one understands me. It's good that I'm not a dramatic person. Can you imagine how much worse everything would be if I had a flair for drama?
Having this disease sucks, and being told by my handsome-but-truth-telling doctor that my case is "mild to moderate" was like a kick to the already swollen and busted gut. (Though he did say that it's "active" and "severe" in my sigmoid colon. Woo sigmoid colon, way to step it up!) At the time I thought he was insane. If my disease was only "mild to moderate," why was I so uncomfortable and in so much pain? What does that mean for the people who have really bad cases?
And that's the thing. Someone always has it a little bit — or a lot — worse. I've tried to keep that in perspective during the ups and downs of my pathetic health issues. Yes, some days are brutally can't-get-out-of-bed-or-the-bathroom awful. But I look at how great I'm feeling now, and I'm truly grateful for that. I hate to say I'm confident I'll get sick again, but with a chronic illness it's likely that I'm not "cured." I'm prepared for another flare-up to come along someday, but in the meantime I'm enjoying and appreciating these happy, healthy days.
On that note: I'm thankful for every bathroom I don't have to use. When I was sick and still trying to run, my plans were carefully laid out each time. My routes were arranged according to which public restrooms would be open at a specific time, and it was the ultimate stressful situation when a bathroom I planned to use wasn't open as scheduled. Now, I leave my apartment and I run wherever I want. I don't need to pass the Starbucks on 96th and Lex, and then the Starbucks on 96th and Madison (yes, they're two blocks away from each other and yes, I always had to stop at both). I don't care whether or not the security lady opens the tennis court bathrooms on time (her hours seem to creep later and later in the morning throughout the year), and I don't need to run around the Great Lawn just because the Delacorte Theater bathroom is there. It's so refreshing.
I'm thankful all the summer dance shows are over. Yes, I like "So You Think You Can Dance"…
…and yes, I liked all eight episodes of "All the Right Moves." But when writing about the shows is a big part of your job, the shows lose their appeal pretty quickly. Mixing work and play basically just means that play becomes work. Or something. Am I speaking English? Now all the shows, including "Dance Moms," have had their finales and I can stop attempting to stay up until midnight to write recaps about them.
I'm thankful for fall. It's the best. You knew that already.
I'm thankful for babies in grown-up hats.
I'm thankful I returned to Chisel this week, even if it was slightly discouraging and hurt like hell. I haven't really done any strength training lately aside from carrying the occasional gallon of milk home from Duane Reade across the street. The class worked with my schedule this week, so I figured I'd make my way over and hope I hadn't lost my strength. (Though really, when did I have strength? I'm not sure.)
When Angel, the way-too-excited-about-lifting-heavy-stuff instructor, said we were going to do circuits, I punched him in the throat. It just sounded too hard. But I sucked it up and did my best and now it's Thursday and I'm still sore. I don't know what those crazy ab moves we were doing are called — I do, however, know that I looked like a beached whale on the ground trying to do them — but my obliques have been aching since Monday night.
Note to self: Strength train more or it's just going to get harder for you in the future. Learn, Ali. Learn.
I'm thankful for eggs.
The only thing I seem to crave lately is an omelette. An omelette with ham, cheese, spinach, tomatoes and onions.
I'm thankful my Garmin lies to me. Or does it? I don't know. This is why it's important to run by feel, people. I'm typically a slave to the watch, and I believe whatever it tells me. Oh, I'm running a 3:03 mile and it feels easy? Damn right I am! God, I'm so fit.
All week my runs have felt pretty tough. My body is tired for sure and I'm glad I'm not running extra long this weekend. I'm also excited tomorrow is a rest day because I need it. I attempted mile repeats on Tuesday, and they were a bust.
I was way off my target pace and it was aggravating. Yesterday I set out to do some "easy miles," and without looking at my watch I "easily" cruised along at marathon pace, even finishing the run significantly faster than marathon pace. What? You make no sense to me, running.
Then today the plan was to do a tempo run of sorts, and I use that term lightly because no matter how hard I try to understand, and no matter how many people I ask for definitions, I still don't fully comprehend "tempo run."
The goal was a warm-up (two miles) plus three miles at a "tempo pace" (WTF?) around 8:00/mile, and then the best part, the cool-down. And the water fountain stop.
Man did I struggle with this. The first mile was fine. But as the second mile ticked off, I had to make a detour. Part of the Reservoir was closed, forcing me down on the Bridle Path. Now if you're familiar with the Central Park Bridle Path, you know that the ground is uneven and there are rocks and boulders and it's basically like running through an obstacle course kind of but not really. Also it was still completely dark at the time. So there I am, attempting 8-minute miles (which is too hard for me these days, FYI) on an unsafe terrain, by myself, in the dark. Recipe for disaster.
I survived, but my watch told me my pace had dropped to 8:50s. Fine. Whatever. I tried to keep pushing, but mentally I felt defeated. Eventually I brought my pace back down to 8:15s and I felt like I was working. I finished the final mile on East Drive and around the Great Lawn and managed to get back down to my goal pace, but again, it felt challenging.
Then, go figure, I upload my Garmin stats and I see this shit:
It makes no sense. The watch shows 8:50s, the data shows something way better. I don't know who to believe, so let's just call this workout a "sweet attempt." Now onto the next.
I'm thankful for photo booths. Because what's more fun than a photo booth?
I'm thankful for my new toy: a bike trainer! A few weeks ago I Tweeted to the world that I want an indoor bike trainer. Much to my surprise (and elation!), a few people responded being like, "Meh, I have one, I don't use it, do you want it? I give away free stuff, NBD, I like nachos." Um, yes I do want your bike trainer. Thanks.
Last night I met up with Jocelyn who presented me with a large, beautiful box with a brand-new, unused bike trainer inside. Is she the best or what? Though of course before I could even get the thing in the door at home, Brian had already set it up with his own bike and then proceeded to ride the trainer for two hours. I used that time wisely by doing work and eating half a jar of almond butter (plus dark chocolate chips) on the couch. Also "Full House" was on and it was that good episode where DJ fires Kimmy Gibbler from the school paper, but at the end they get to be friends again.
So Jocelyn, thank you for the wonderful gift that I will apparently not get to benefit from because Brian is a Bike Trainer Hog. Rude.
I'm thankful for these two (three) crazy kids:
My mom and dad are celebrating their 31st wedding anniversary today. They did the whole "high school sweetheart" thing, and they're still in love and they still make each other laugh. And now they're grandparents, which is apparently the best thing ever. I wouldn't know. I've never done it. But they seem pretty psyched about the whole thing.
So mom and dad, Happy Anniversary! Congratulations on sticking together for all these years, and thank you for falling in love and getting married and having me. You're the best people I know.
That's a wrap, folks!
SO NOW IT'S YOUR TURN: What are you thankful for today? Chocolate milk? Halloween candy? Your new iPhone? Your ability to wear Dry-Fit clothing to work?

thankful for my new iPhone – yes. and the fabulous job i have that allows me to get one. and cute animals.
Your last line is funny because Andy bought a dry-fit BUTTON DOWN SHIRT that he is wearing to work today. The inside is like a bathing suit and the outside is like a regular plaid button down. I cannot believe this exists. I love your photo booth pictures, you all look so happy! As for the runs, I trust the data more than the watch at the current moment because the watch is busy getting info from the beams or wherever it comes from so it's not always exact. But for the data after, it had a chance to computerize itself and be more correct, as I understand it. Or something like that. Today, I am thankful for TV shows I like, a cleaning lady who comes every other Thursday and is not too expensive, Refine Method, my newfound ability to run a half marathon in under two hours, a comfy bed and the Dave Matthews Band station on Sirius.
Dori can you email me your cleaning lady contact?

Happy Anniversary to your parents! 31 years together is pretty dang awesome!!
Today I'm thankful for the simple fact that it's Thursday, which means tomorrow is Friday!
I'm thankful I made it through half marathon training without getting injured or hating running. I'm also thankful I get to – no, HAVE TO – eat carbs for the next two days with no guilt. And I'm really thankful that the forecast for Saturday is now 30% chance of rain instead of 50%! (Rookie mistake to check the weather forecast every hour? Or does that never go away??)
I was just commenting that I am excited the weekend weather is looking up! And nope. 2 years running races later, I still stalk the weather report. Some times a month out. Because you know, that is 100% accurate.
Haha oh no…well at least I know it's not just me! Good luck on your race this weekend!!
Annie says: September 27, 2012 at 10:24 am
Things I'm thankful for…my juicer, new earrings, water (I am so thirsty today), flats (instead of heels), and my cat.
I ran my first race ever this week! A 10K down the West Side Highway. It was brutal at mile 5 but I finished without stopping. Don't judge my 1 hour finish time 🙂
Happy Anniversary, Fellers!!! 31 years is a big deal!!
Today I am thankful that:
…someone else doesn't really get Tempo runs.
…for magically getting to my favorite weight this morning when I didn't eat that well yesterday,
…for new running gear
A little shallow, this morning, I feel.
You look gorgeous in the pics! I am grateful for your post! I am also grateful for notebooks to write 🙂
I also get confused by my (new) Garmin. I am not entirely trusting of it just yet. Although I am obsessed, trust may take some time! But I am appreciative of the data it spits out so I can compare it to how my run felt.
I am also thankful for my lovely friend that just sent me a message that the weekend weather is looking up (after I saw rain I refused to look again)! Another half marathon Sunday and I don't run in rain. Well, I do, but I won't really enjoy it…for 13.1 miles.
I'm thankful to be feeling better and gaining more energy day by day! Thankful to have found your blog – makes this disease more relatable, less isolating – for an active, striving-to-be-healthy woman. Thankful for your health (and handsome doctor) on your behalf. 😉 Oh, and my handsome doctor too!
Lauren says: September 27, 2012 at 1:10 pm
I am thankful that my new apartment is great, my boyfriend is awesome, and I'm racing a 10k on Sunday. ALL GOOD THINGS.
Here's a list of the things I'm thankful for today:
(the list includes cheese!!)
I'm thankful that I can almost start to check the 10-day forecast for Chicago Marathon (check it like every hour, naturally)
Fayhee says: September 27, 2012 at 2:43 pm
Thanks for the shout out! I love your parents, they are so great! Best second parents anybody could ask for!
I'm thankful for my new Dairy-Free cookbook! I made "cream" of broccoli soup the other night and it's soooo good!! John liked it too! Excited to make more yummy dishes!
Hey, I love that you're reading your son that book. I just picked up it a few weeks ago for my new born. I love it!
Glad the Trainer is already getting some use!! FYI – I think I got it for free with my bike shoes or something on Amazon…so obviously I wasn't too attached to setting it up! HA
I'm thankful that I have five interviews scheduled for my thesis research. Not so excited to conduct/transcribe the interviews, but psyched that people volunteered for them at all!
Right now, I am pretty darn thankful for sunflower seed butter and bagels. Also bikes. I had to take today off running and I didn't want to do any hard cross training either, so I rented a bike for $5 and rode it to do some grocery shopping, then I rode it in a park along the river. It was a beautiful day and I had such a lovely afternoon/evening.
I'm thankful you mentioned Kimmie Gibbler. Wow! That's a name/character I haven't heard in soooo long! LOL! Wonder what she's doing now… Very cool about the bike trainer too!
I'm thankful for my wonderful job that I truly love even when I'm super cranky and have no desire to anything that can be labeled "work."
I am thankful for coconut milk ice cream, a great job where I fly around in planes and work with awesome people and I'm thankful that I can read your blog and be SO jealous that you live in New York! I've ran the reservoir a couple of times – I even made my kids run it when we took them. So cool!
I'm thankful it's Friday afternoon and I'm just a couple of hours away from a quiet easy weekend.
Tyler is so rude – he's not even looking at the book or listening, just posing at the camera for a picture. Get him to reform school!
Allison says: September 28, 2012 at 11:07 am
I am thankful for my husband for taking such good care of me when I had bronchitis this week and for pretending that my bitching about being sick wasn't the most annoying thing ever, my dog for just being 9 lbs of adorableness, Haagen Daaz lemon sorbet, morning runs in cooler temps, and the return of boot and blazer season.
I am grateful for this post! I am currently in the midst of a flare-up, so your comment about there always being people who are worse off than you is perfect for me right now.
Also – grown up Kimmy Gibbler & DJ: http://twitter.yfrog.com/7e1rzlzpwkorxnnjkypddcupz
I am thankful for amazing friends that carry me through long runs and life's difficulties. I am also thankful for cookies 🙂
amandarunsny says: September 29, 2012 at 2:07 pm
Yay for thankful things thursday.
My garmin lies to me too! That b*tch! But seriously, I think that the instant speed updates can be a bit crazy especially in the city because the signal can at times bounce off things, like skyscrapers, which there are a ton of here. So I always trust the downloads on the computer more. Especially if my route map, looks like the route I ran. If it has me running in the middle of the reservoir or you know on top of buildings, then I get a little suspicious.
Keep on running lady!
That room service meal has my tumbly totally rumbly right now. Omelettes make my heart happy 🙂

newby sawyer, more questions.1/18
Can any of you inform me as to fair market value on actual saw milling? My logs vs. theirs? What about lumber pricing? I know it will vary based on species and such. I will be starting with white oak, southern pine, erc,. I currently have no means of drying. Thanks guys.
Where are you and what mill are you running? What to charge is a pretty open-ended question. The simple answer is, "it depends". I charge by the hour when sawing for others, because there is often a lot of oddball stuff. My most recent job, for example, involved 44" diameter black oak which had to be split with a chain saw before it would go on the sawmill. No way I could have milled it for the going rate of $.30 to $.35 per bd ft, but you can make money at that rate if the logs are good and straight. Best advice is to find yourself a niche and don't base your price on production mills cranking out pallet and dimension lumber. Try to do jobs that no one else will tackle, and produce a product that no one else has. Charge accordingly. With custom milling, you get paid when the job is complete, rather than speculating on selling the lumber after it is air dried. It also helps to provide expertise on cutting blocking and stickers so that the customer can successfully air dry his own lumber. First thing to do is to practice milling some lumber and get some experience so you get an idea of the cost and work involved. Hope this helps.
Yes Dave it does help, thanks for taking the time to respond. What you said makes sense. Filling a niche in our society, with all it's unemployment and such is akin to looking for a needle in a haystack. I am in central arkansas, where white oaks and pine are predominant, there are maple and other oaks, and there is the occasional yellow poplar, lots of erc, not really any bald cypress in these parts . I have a tree service so this is a good fit for me, if I can find a market. I have considered building a kiln and purchasing a molder for making flooring, and will do so if things, well, if money works out that way. Thanks again. BTW, any ideas are welcome.
Good stuff, thanks again. Finding contacts will be time consuming I figure. My mill is an old wood mizer LT30. I've had to do a lot of tinkering to get it usable, but it seems that it will do fine. Love the good ideas!
