Hi guys!  I’ve been thinking a lot about OHC lately and what I would like for it to become and what I would like to talk about.  I’m sort of leaning away from the daily eats posts.  Mostly because I don’t really have that much to talk about in regards to the minutia of my day.  I ate, I walked Rocky, and I ate some more.  The end.

Snore fest.

And I’m just not really feeling those posts anymore.  Part of the reason is that I also don’t want to bring in discussion topics in those posts.  For me personally, I feel like discussion worthy topics should get their own posts to highlight them.  I don’t know if that makes sense to anyone else but me.   I am very much a compartmentalized type of personality.  I like things to be neat and orderly.  Things that are worth a big “discussion” should be in their own category while what…

Hi guys!  OHC is officially over a year old!  We celebrated one year of OHC goodness on the 1st of September.  Hooray!  The past year we have talked about so many things!

I’ve been blogging my daily eats.

I’ve been providing tips.

I’ve been writing food reviews.

I’ve started doing some other exercise and nutrition discussion.

And basically just talking about life in general.

This past year has been rewarding and challenging in so many different ways.  In this year I have also made some discoveries and have come to some conclusions that I would like to share with you.

First up is the daily eats section.  Daily eats is hard, yo!  It’s not taking the pictures that’s hard, it’s dealing with those pictures and writing the post that is hard and time consuming.  One thing you might have already noticed is that I’ve started posting once a day now, in the evenings, instead of two posts a day.  Two posts a day was stressing me out. …

Hi guys!  I thought I would toss this question out and see what your thoughts on the matter are.   I really enjoy writing reviews of products and I was thinking of expanding on that.  I love love love running clothes and gear.  Really just workout clothes period, either for working out or lounging around at home.

I would love to talk about some of my likes and dislikes that I have on gear.  And also share with you some of my thoughts on different products I’ve tried. Would you be interested in reading some OHC Workout Gear Reviews?  It would range from clothing to accessories and also gadget stuff (to indulge my nerdy side).  I created a poll so that you can vote on it without having to leave a comment.  But I would love it if you did comment as well and let me know your thoughts!

Thanks guys!!

And the winner of the chocolate goodies is….

Hi guys!  I am totally amazed with all of your comments for my little giveaway!  Part of the reason I posted it early was so that there was plenty of time for people to see it.  I thought maybe I would get at most, 30 or so comments.  I never in my dreams expected over 100.  YOU GUYS ROCK!  Okay, here is a list of those who linked back thus earning them a second chance at winning.  If you do not see your name and blog listed please let me know before 4pm EST so that I can be sure to add you in before picking a winner.  Here we go:

Hi guys!  I’m just dropping you a quick line to say that regular posting will be interrupted this week to make room for birthday week posts! Hooray!  Lots of things to talk about so I hope that you’ll stick around.   And a surprise!  I will be having a birthday giveaway this week!  Contents will be revealed later in the week but I can tell you that they will fill the bag up above.  Intrigued?

Wheee birthday!

Hello my lovies!  Let’s chat a minute about how great March is, okay?  March means that while we may experience some crazy-azz weather, it’s almost Spring!  March means the sun shines a little more and we get a little more daylight both in the morning and in the evening.  March means the birds are back and are starting to make more birdies.

But most excitedly, March means it’s birthday time!  OHC owner, president, and CEO has a birthday this month!  Which means me.

I love my birthday because it’s all about me and I get to feel super special.   If you remember from Scott’s birthday, we celebrate birthdays all week here at the HQ.  I’ve decided for my birthday, the festivities extend to the blog and I will be doing some extra special fun stuff.  And I also will be doing some posts that are a little more focused on me!  Meaning, posts about…

For those I have to send packages too, I have not forgotten you!  I’m gathering the proper envelopes and labels from the post office, which is what’s taking me so long.  I had some of them already addressed when I realized that apparently there were directions on the envelopes that I did not follow.  Who knew that one had to stand on their head and recite the Declaration of Independence backwards in order for the Post Office Gods to accept a package?!  So I’m sorry that my 9th grade Civics class has failed me and I forgot a passage, thus rendering the packages unmailable (OHC HQ declares this a word.).  I will get the packages out to you soon!

Except for TJ’s, they accepted his straight away.  T, your OHC mail is on its way! 

  Hooray!!!  Today is my Scotty-love’s birthday!!  Yup that hunk of burning love right there was born on this day several moons ago.  In the spirit of Becky, I’m gonna list a whole bunch of stuff that makes my husband teh awesome.

He can raise one eyebrow, just like that, and crack me up every single time he does it.

We’ve been together for over 10 years and he still wants to stick around even though I can be crazy sometimes.

When we were in college, he would drive 7hours to my school every weekend to come visit me.

He handles all the creepies and buggies that make it into the house because he knows I cannot.

He lets me be me 100% and loves me for it.

He’s my little geek lover and has unleashed and nurtured my need for better and newer electronics. (Speaking of, when are we getting that new receiver?  I’m just sayin’.)

He always makes sure there…
