It occurred to me last night that next Monday is the 1-year anniversary of the day I split up with my husband.  I was overcome by so many emotions that I was immobile for a few minutes.  I didn't know what to think.  I think it has been plaguing me for  a few days, because I have been feeling like the bottom is about to fall out.  There is no ( Read more... )

I got the news a couple of months ago that a friend of mine from college, who I haven't seen in probably 7 years or so, was going to be having twins, and is due sometime around December.  I just found out a week or so ago, that she is actually having triplets!!  Wow!!  It's an amazing story.  No fertility drugs were involved.  They went in for the ( Read more... )

WFR = Wizard's First Rule.  If you have read the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind, than you will know what that means.  If not, let me sum up.  The first book is called Wizard's First Rule.  The "WFR" is that "people are stupid".  It has many meanings, but for me, this is what it means today - People are stupid, and will do whatever they can ( Read more... )

and I am so not ready for it!!   I have no idea what to get anyone... and I have so many people to buy for, it's insane!  I do know what I'm getting my mom.  My former yoga teacher makes really pretty mosaic stones for the garden, so I'm having her make one of those.  My mom loves her garden, and I'm sure she'll love this, too.  But what do I get ( Read more... )

I can't believe that almost an entire year has gone by without me posting here.  It has been such a crazy year.  I want to try to start writing here more frequently.

Let me start off by saying that I have some of the best friends in the world!!  I lived with my friend, Kathy, for 3 months, and she was a true lifesaver.  If it hadn't been for her, ( Read more... )

Ok, so my best friend from high school is going to be coming up to see me over Labor Day weekend.  I haven't seen her in over 9 years!  Oh my!!!  I can't wait.  She'll be bringing her 1 year-old daughter, too, so that should make for an interesting weekend to say the least!  I'm so happy!!!

So, I've been working at this job that I got through the temp agency for the last few weeks.  It was a 3-4 week assignment, to fill in for the secretary who is leaving.  I spoke with the manager today, and I guess they want to hire me.  It makes sense, since I've been learning all the details for the last month or so, and otherwise they would just ( Read more... )

I finally feel like I'm getting back into the swing of things.  I am identifying what I need to work on.  So far I have been journaling what I eat consistantly.  It seems I am still eating within my calorie range, not I just need to tweak what I'm eating and make some better choices.

It's a start, at least!  :)

I was driving down my street to go to the post office to mail/release some books today (and run a few errands) when I passed a cow walking in the opposite direction.  Yup, she was headed up the hill.  I guess she escaped the pasture at the farm, and went uphill to join the rest of her friends in the higher pasture.  I guess the biggest indicator I ( Read more... )
