Stamp your feet.
Me: I need to hide the scale. I've been at the same weight for nearly three weeks, which is surely a muscle/fat exchange since clothes are still getting looser. I need to stop distracting myself with the scale. It's really hard to shed this 'diet' mindset of go-fast-go-diet-go-finish-faster. Really, since I'm now considering workouts and ( Read more... ) -
I have a catapult and I missed Safety week
Toys just come to me on the tides of fate.
My former deputy left a medieval toy set on my desk sometime in the last two weeks - a cheap Playmobil knockoff from the dollar store. Before I'd even opened the box, I'd already gotten my joy out of it by bouncing through my boss's office and smiling I have a toy catapult and I missed Safety week ( Read more... ) -
I *told* you I'd done this before
My friend, Fen, made me laugh and laugh yesterday. Roland often thinks everything makes me laugh, and he's really right. I think people don't pay sufficient attention to all the absurd around us, though maybe only I find that much joy in the illogic of it all ( Read more... ) -
I'm only doing this so I can wear my Jayne hat
I know what my decision is ... and it's not to decide. - "On the Steps of the Palace". Into the Woods ( Read more... ) -
Girls in gym clothes, some with machetes
My sticky notes have sticky notes we're in the middle of so many things at work, each interrupted the other constantly meaning we never finish anything other than lengthen the pile of loose ends. It's a struggle just to keep them all on a list ( Read more... ) -
Face down
Hectic barely describes the last few weeks. I made it home with not enough time to head back out to the Shire Cook's Guild night (it's tough when all activities are on the opposite side of the county from me, which means 30+ minutes in post-work rush hour). Ruffled, I ate a decent dinner, talked to cute Roland, then took position on the couch ( Read more... ) -
Kitten has lost her mittens.
Some days are just ridiculous.
7:00a: Building 7.
8:30a: Building 11, high bay
9:00a: Building 11, conference room
10:30a: Building 11, hijack an office for another meeting.
11:30a - 12:30p <<< Free time. Frantically working on homework for afternoon ( Read more... ) -
No one needs Richard Simmons prattling at them.
I'm digging in, concentrating on a twelve week exercise and diet program that's mostly based off Body-For-Life ( Read more... ) -
I can stay and watch them succeed.
Whenever a pet is being endlessly adorable, it's absolutely impossible to take pictures. We were working at the dining room table when Hobbes went terrier puppy nuts demanding we pay fetch with him. Sitting beside the chair with the little rubber ball in his mouth, dropping it at our feet and begging until we threw it ( Read more... ) -
Bowls of raisinets
Lately, Friday nights have been snuggle nights. With work so intense come Friday I simply want the pleasure of curling up on the couch with the husband and the cats and make a purr pile. Tough and crazy week, slotting in long hours and lots of time at the hospital. Mom was very foggy and confused the first couple days, completely expected ( Read more... )
