You’d think I was in some kind of serious, feminine-hormone-driven crisis judging by what I just picked up from the store on my way back from donating plasma. But no–I just have a couple hours before Matt is due home from work, and I’m in the mood for some serious guilty-pleasuring. Hope your weekend is fabulous, …
Tuesday Tell-All
*I don’t know exactly how it happened, but all of a sudden, everything in the entire world is GREEN. One minute I was taking my runs amidst bare trees and muddy parking lots, and now I’m marveling at all the shade that I now so desperately need as I take my 4-mile runs. I love …
Anniversary Picnic

And I did it summa cum laude. And I did it debt-free. Today was a wonderful day of celebration, and I’m so …

Tuesday Tell-All
*I used to never wear yellow. And when I say never, I mean never. In fact, growing up, I remember my mom telling me that us Fedor girls just weren’t meant to wear yellow or orange in any of their forms. And I’ll be the first to admit, it’s not exactly my number-one best color. …
