H&G: Creating space for love

The bedroom is supposed to be the center for your romantic relationship. So spicing it up can make for a deeper, richer love in your life — whether that love has made it to your bedroom or not.

If tomorrow never comes

And neither do you. I think everyone knows this but no one wants to talk about it.

I finally passed the 50-pound mark, so I’m more than halfway to my ultimate weight goal. Can I hear a collective “Woo-hoo!”

Wired Women: Where there’s a will, there’s an app

The Runkeeper Pro application for the iPhone is a runner’s best friend. It sounds as simple as other GPS devices: The app tracks and maps your runs, accounting for climbs and speed.

All I want for Christmas is no-thing

We give each other disposable, wasteful, cheap stuff. And again this year, I am making a stand against it. Why? Because I’m obsessed with stuff — what we need, what we buy, what we keep, what we use, how things are made, how things are disposed of, theories of consumerism, realities of our fragile environment, the psychology of stuff and gifts and how twisted our displays of “love” have become.

Think it’s going to be hard to stay active and fit now with the coming winter season? Think again.

If we live in an “average” house in Boulder County and the price per square foot is $62.50 (the mathematical average of the range $25 to $100 per square foot), we are paying (or financing) $31,250 for that unused, cluttered space. (Jaw drops here.)
