New blog...
Well folks, I'm finally making the move. Well over a year ago, when I first purchased my new domain name, I set up a Wordpress blog to match. I signed up for it, then promptly did nothing with it. Well now I am. I think it's time to put my waiting2b self to rest, and move on to, drumroll please....

Fall
It's actually fall. Race-speed winds, out-of-no-where thunder storms, multitudes of leaves clogging my walkway... the leaves have been turning for a while, but for the past few days I've actually NEEDED the sweaters hanging in my closet. Fall is probably my favorite season, and not only because I can hide in my jeans and sweatshirts again and ( Read more... ) -
Yay, trip to Kentucky!
I completely screwed up my sleep schedule today. I slept alright last night, but didn't get a whole lot of sleep because I had to be at work at 6:30 AM. So then when I got home from work I did a few things... and fell asleep. I woke up a little after midnight, so I probably got about 7 hours of sleep. Sheesh. Now I could probably fall back ( Read more... ) -
Project Me
I feel like I'm continually finding new things that I would like to work on. The latest was a suggestion by my psychiatrist to try sleep hygiene, so I went to Barnes & Noble and found a book for that, along with a couple of other books. I've been reading through that over the past few days, and have gathered some good information. This is also ( Read more... ) -
Letting Perfectionism Get In The Way
I am a perfectionist. Although someone looking at my life might now believe me at first glance (or maybe I've just been blind to this myself while everyone else sees clearly and just hasn't thought to mention it), I am undoubtably a perfectionist, and it's getting in my way. Marla Cilley, also known as FlyLady, notes that perfectionism is not ( Read more... ) -
Today's Homework & News From Work
This morning I did another chapter in my workbook, which was focused on living in the now. The first part of the exercise entailed listing out the things in my past that I've done, or that others have done, that still bother me. I felt pretty good about the fact that most of the things that still chaff are things that have happened in the last ( Read more... ) -
SB Update
Okay, so I kind of put the South Beach thing on hold for a few days, and it's taken it's toll. Saturday was "my" day, and I didn't do too bad, but then Sunday night we had Colin's birthday dinner; also not too terribly bad, but also not great. We didn't come back from Hillsdale until pretty late Monday, which means that we didn't get a chance to ( Read more... ) -
Don't Sweat the Small Stuff
One of my friends at work purchased the Don't Sweat the Small Stuff workbook recently, and last Saturday I decided to give it a try. On my fabulous day off I made a stop at Barnes & Noble and ended up picking up the original book, the workbook, and Don't Sweat the Small Stuff For Women. Over the past few days I've been working my way through them ( Read more... ) -

Cross your fingers for me...
I just sent in my cover letter and resume for two different positions at work... one is a case manager position, and the other is a team leader position. I'm guessing that the team leader position is for the younger kids' unit, so it would probably include some case management duties since I don't think they split the team leader and case manager ( Read more... )
