One of the (many) great things about living here in Collierville is that there are lots of opportunities to explore on foot and bike.  Biking is a great way to work out your body and explore the outdoors at the same time.  Admittedly, I haven’t been on a bike since I was about 10 but I do admire those who can just jump on and go at a moment’s notice. ... [Read more...]

I could kick myself each spring when the weather warms up for not learning the game of tennis. I try it from time to time, thinking Hey, this is easy. Hit the little yellow ball over the net. Nice theory. In practice, however, I end up whacking the ball over the fence in a fit of frustration. All my ventures with a tennis racket--except the air guitar ones--end... [Read more...]

When the new year comes around, a common resolution among many of us is to either lose weight in the new year, or get fit. This has been my resolution for the past couple of years, but nothing has really come of it. I think I'll give it another go for 2011.

A recent study has determined that people who drink plain water as their primary beverage have better diets over people who drank other beverages. Not to say that all water drinkers are healthier eaters, but their diets consist of more fiber, less sugar, and fewer calorie dense foods than other beverage drinkers. There still isn't a standard amount... [Read more...]

So I am not a fan of MTV reality shows, but there was this one lady, Kelly Cutrone on The City, that was feisty and right up my alley.  I don’t know if I am cut throat, but to others I can be just like her.  I have always wondered how she lived life like that when people always have something to say. I know that when I am sarcastic, I am always in some... [Read more...]
