Year Of the Classic

The end of the year is approaching.
In 2008 I participated in a 50 book challenge.  I knew going into it there was no way that I would meet that goal.  (Hello, defeatist attitude!!) It was a nice challenge to see just how much I could read in a year and even though I’ve only read [...]

Karma & My “I’m Sick To Do List”

All of the toxic thoughts that I have had for the past couple of days caught up with me.  I’m currently in bed and not feeling well at all.  I’ve got my laptop here to keep me warm and a rescheduled hair appointment for later this afternoon.   I’m certain that my feeling ill  is a [...]

Show And Tell

The stomach flu went through my daughters back to back and then proceeded to kick my ass today.  I slept most of the day and now I’m still not feeling the best.  I wrote to a friend saying,
“ It’s my turn to be sick.  You know what sucks about being sick.  Being sick and not [...]

2007: Things I’m Letting Go and Things I’m Carrying Forward

Letting Go

I’m letting go of the feeling that the numbers on the scale somehow define my worth. Healthy is what I again want to strive for. I might not fit into my size 6 pre-baby number 2 jeans but when I was that size 6 I wasn’t happy even if I was wearing [...]

So here are seven random and useless things about me. Sorta.
No. 1 – Baby Jesus is MIA. My daughters have this cute Fisher Price Little People Nativity Set. Since my baby loves the Little People the set is out [...]

True/False Meme

This week, in honor of Thanksgiving, I’m giving my readers something to be thankful for. I’m taking up the torch of the Meme. Mymy Meme. If these Meme’s are out in the hinterland of interland I haven’t seen them as Meme’s but then I lead a sheltered life [...]

DoSoEvAyMo

With all of this talk of the NaNoWriMo and NaNoBloPoMo (don’t they both sound like anime characters names) going on through the blogworld I got to thinking.
I don’t want to spend the month writing all those words with my face stuck in my laptop or journal. I’ve been doing enough of that at work [...]
