Don't Want to Jinx it, but...
I'm nervous about saying anything, but... I've just experienced something for the second time this semester (which just started, btw) that I haven't felt in way too long, and I'm allowing myself to get a teensy bit excited about it.
Here it is: I'm not feeling "senioritis" right now. *gasp* And, I may just be feeling a little excited about ( Read more... ) -
Thoughts on Teaching
- Trying to find a balance between making myself as marketable as possible by specializing in as many areas as possible and taking all the certification tests I think I can handle AND making myself crazy trying to be all things for all possible employers. I have to stop at some point and just do what I've set out to do... and that's it.

Can I Be Done Now?
I am so tired. I feel like I've been going to school forever. And, I kind of have. I mean, I've been attempting to go to college since a few years after I graduated high school. I couldn't figure out what the hell to focus on, so I did a lot of indecisive wandering, and then I had a huge break in there when I had a bunch of mental adjusting to ( Read more... ) -
Being In My "Safe Place"
Had a nice chat with my mom tonight. Told her about my senioritis feeling here lately, and she gave me a great suggestion that I think I'm going to try. She talked to me about conjuring a "safe place" in my mind, and I didn't really get it until she described hers. For privacy sake, I won't talk about hers specifically, but in general, she ( Read more... ) -
I can't get my brain to work
The semester has just started, but I cannot get myself in gear. I know what I have to do, and I know I can do it, but I cannot make myself do it. I'm nervous that I'm getting "senioritis" a year and a half too early. I can't focus. I don't care enough. And, it's just getting more and more real. These semesters are getting closer and closer to ( Read more... ) -
The REAL reason salad diets work
My health world has been a roller coaster the last few years. While investigating why I was feeling nauseous all the time (the last time we did this dance in '08), my doc recommended that I get my gallbladder removed. While the surgeon was in there, he discovered that my liver was "very fatty" and recommended a DRASTIC change in my habits - diet ( Read more... ) -
Good intentions are boring
Conversation with the hubs just now:
C: Hey Baby. I'm going to go do other stuff for a bit. I will concentrate on the budget another time. I'm about to fall asleep, and I think I need to start it fresh. My goal will be to have that as #1 priority tomorrow & over the weekend.
Also - I'm all for calling it a night at 9:00 tonight. I'm dyin'.

It's Comin' Along
I know I've been away from here for a while. I have so many post ideas floating around in my head, but the time just keeps eluding me. *sigh* Anyway... on to cheerier things!
Here's what I've been up to lately (okay, ONE of the many things I've been up to) - designing and making a pattern for a quilt I'm making for my niece, Alexa:
