• Mosquito’s Find Me Tasty!

    Recently, I snuck away to Cancun with Brent. And boy, did we *sneak*. Only two people knew we were going before we left…best trip ever 🙂 We chilled, relaxed, did a little flyboarding, and slept in every day. I’m noticing a trend with mosquitos – that is, I never see them, yet they manage to…

  • The Sniffling-Sneezing-Stuffyhead-Sorethroat-Ifeellikedying

    Uggggggggghhhhhhhhhh. I’m sick. I hardly ever get sick. Probably because God doesn’t like to inflict sick Nadia on my friends and family. I immediately turn into a clingy-whiny-needy brat. This started on Tuesday of last week when I completely lost all drive and energy and fell asleep sitting up at a church potluck at 6pm.…

  • Saturday Breakfast is the Best Ever

    There really is nothing better than breakfast on what I call the “full kid” Saturday. Every second week, we have all 5 kidlets, and by Monday afternoon Logan is putting in his order for Saturday morning pancakes. When he is older, I’ll tell him that my pancake recipe is really, really healthy. This past week,…

  • Wahoo!

    January 30, 2013 166.5lbs* C25K Progress: Completed week 4, day 1 – Run 3 minutes, walk 90 seconds, run 5 minutes (yikes), walk 2.5 minutes, repeat. Current Goal: try not to keep biting of more than I can chew, in every sense. I thought week 3 was gonna be a doozy – welcome week 4…

  • It’s not a fashion show….thank goodness.

    January 19, 2013 165lbs* C25K Progress: Week 3, Day 1 – Run 1.5 minutes, walk 1.5 minutes then run 3 minutes, walk 3 minutes, repeat twice, 5 minute warmup and cooldown – 28 minutes Current goal: Get through this week of the C25K program because it looks like a doozy. So, yesterday sucked. First thing…

  • So close…and yet so far

    I’m so close. So, so close. 6 days, 2 assignments, and one kickbutt project and I’ll be Nadia La Russa, MBA. It’s been long, and yet it has flown by. It’s been tough, yet I’ve learned so much. I’ve met new people, and met a new me. And I have absolutely no idea what I…

  • Run, run, run!

    January 12, 2013 170lbs C25K Progress: Week 2, Day 1 – Run 1.5 minutes, walk 2 minutes, 5 minute warmup and cooldown – 31 minutes Current Goal: Complete the C25K program. It’s a strict coincidence that I started a running program in January. Really, this isn’t a New Year’s resolution or some hokey game or…

  • The Hilarity of Spam

    Sometimes I sit in wonder at spammers. I like to believe that there are people sitting around trying desperatley to somehow break into my life by sending me the most outrageous of offers, clinging to the hope that I’ll actually be foolish enough to accept. Here are some of the highlights over the last week:…

  • Back in Action

    I miss blogging! I had one of those “moments” today where I was like “Where *IS* that girl? I miss her!” So, I decided, bring her back. The last 18 months has been a tough go, but it’s high time I kick my own butt into gear and dive into a major overhaul. I have…

  • A Keynote Address by Donald Bell

    I’m attending the annual Simply Accounting Conference, this year held in Vancouver, BC.  I try to attend every year, despite the fact that I derive absolutely NO useful information from the conference content.  I’ve been using the software for 13 years now….I pretty much have it down pat.  Basically, in order to maintain my elite “Gold Certified Consultant” status, I am…
