All I Want for Christmas Is a Pair of VFFs
Okay, this is going to be short, because I am using the last eight minutes of my lunch break to write and post this. But I am SO in love I totally cannot wait to share this information. I have been reading for a couple of years now about Vibram Five-Fingers “shoes.” My virtual sensei […]
Life’s Transitions
Everybody makes a big deal about turning forty, as if somehow that number was the embodiment of bad karma or something. I don’t know. Forty is just a number. I’m turning forty this year, and I don’t feel any different. Quite frankly, I am looking forward to a new decade. I spent the last one […]
Finally Getting Back to Normal
Basketball practise starts tomorrow, but that’s the only schedule-interrupting thing going on from now until after the new year. I”m done with tests, done with the writing job (we just couldn’t get my schedule to mesh with their needs, so they let me go), done with everything extra. Time to get the house in order […]
How I Did on my 2004 New Year’s Resolutions
I made these resolutions last December as I started thinking about the new year. As the year has only a few weeks remaining, it’s time to look at how I did and where I want to go next year. Today: How I Did. 10. I will complete all my gift shopping for next year by March first, taking […]
Preening My Feathers
And no, not because I’m a chicken. Because I got myself back on track this weekend. The pace of life got very crazy when my boss left in mid-March, and I fell out of a lot of good habits I had been trying to cement into my life. Like getting up early and exercising, eating right, […]
If I Haven’t Lost Ten Pounds This Week….
… then life is profoundly and royally unfair. I left work at 3, went and made a bank deposit for work, then went to my bank and deposited paycheck plus child support, dropped a bunch of checks into the post box, and went and picked up the kids. We went back to my grandpa’s to […]
I Am SO Sore!
My grandpa died a couple of years ago, and we recently sold his house to a developer who’s going to knock it down and do who knows what on the acre lot. So Daddy told me that if I wanted any of granddad’s plants, I should go and dig them up because this weekend is […]
Another Manic Monday
Well, nothing like making a complete idiot of yourself, I always say. I just came home from church, where I tried to go to next Monday’s special ministry meeting tonight. You’d think a professional editor could read, wouldn’t you?! It was a pretty good day, otherwise. I’m working on our bi-monthly magazine at work right […]
Take 2…
I tried to post this last night, but my computer crashed. It was a long day. Don’t know why. Maybe because I didn’t sleep well last night, so I’m a bit tired today. I did get up for my exercise at 5:30 (Huzzah! two in a row!) and had a good workout. I enjoy doing […]
