Something to love
Comment and I'll give you a letter; then you have to list ten things you LOVE that begin with that letter. Afterward, post this in your journal and give out some letters of your own.
I got this from my brother, who gave me an "s".
1. Spice Markets- I love procuring new spices, even if I only use them once, and the aroma of an amalgamation of herbs, ( Read more... ) -
Update to: this time I mean it!
As of this morning, I am 30 pounds lighter than I was in late December, and slightly thinner than I was 10 years ago. Not too bad, considering that a 32 year old woman generally has a slower metabolism than she had at 22. I can fit into my empire dress again! On a related note, the Acanthosis Nigricans I have been living with since the onset of ( Read more... ) -
Here I go again: this time I mean it!
After returning from a vacation with beatnikside and our mutual genetic donors, I resolved to make some healthy lifestyle changes (see: weight loss, diet, exercise). Why? Well, for one reason, I'm scared to death of diabetes. Another reason is after seeing my brother's progress in the same endeavor, I realized that I have become quite fat. ( Read more... ) -
Ow. My pride.
Well, for the first time since I was a child, I wiped out on my bicycle. It was pure foolishness on my part: I was holding a beverage in my right hand as I rode to work. Near the restaurant is a roundabout surrounding a large fountain. The roundabout is slightly inclined, so I picked up speed. In an attempt to slow myslef down, I squeezed the ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I'm burning the midnight oil on a project for work, and losing focus. As a means of straining distracting thoughts outta my head, I am leaving my little kernels of wisdom. I'm not quite sure how wise they are...or even if they are kernels...amaranth seeds of near-wisdom ( Read more... ) -
From blog to blurbs
You know, I don't really like blogging. I tend to ramble on about things tired and mundane; I say very little about who I actually am, or why anyone should care enough to read my messages. So, from now on, I'll be brief. I'll just post little subjects that pop into mind, and if you want to read more about them - ask. Here goes ( Read more... ) -
Succumb to the VMK
As if you haven't guessed by my icon, I am a Disney junkie. When I learned the Disney had an online game, I was curious, but quickly dismissed it as a teenage dating service. Then, I decided to play it, if for no other reason than to see my virtual beatnik brother. Now, I am thoroughly addicted to all the little games they have there. I have ( Read more... ) -
Let's see how this goes...
I'm on a trial period with Zoloft now (the antidepressant that advertises with a bouncing soft-boiled egg). I actually felt a bit of relief as he handed me the samples and gave me instructions, because I felt like I was finally being taken seriously. I've wrestled with symptoms of depression most of my life, but I've been treated like a drama ( Read more... ) -
Am I depressed?
Lately, I have been unable to cope with the stresses of work and minor issues in my relationship. I have digestive problems, chest pains, fatigue, inexplicable crying jags, a numbed sense of humor, no real pleasure or pride to speak of, a peculiar ring of numbing pressure around my head, and nagging feelings that I'm not doing anything right, and ( Read more... )
