I woke up this morning on such a high note. I slept in 15 whole minutes, but still hit the elliptical for a 3 mile jaunt, thoroughly enjoying my own private showing of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” My weigh in last night was super successful, I lost 1.2 pounds, so I’m down a whopping [...]

Grown Ups
Posted in Family and Friends on September 27, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Apparently none of the women I know and hang out with are adults. And since I’ve met me a time or two, and I hang out with myself nearly 24/7, I will have to count myself in that number of unruly, immature chicks.
Because today at lunch? We were all struck with fits of hysterical giggles [...]
Light Sleeper

November 2006
I am stinking tired today. I even look tired. My birthday is tomorrow and I’ll be 33 years old…um, wait, I mean 29 years old… and even my wrinkles have wrinkles this morning. Darling husband was on a roll last night, snorting and snuffling for hours on end, and several times right next to [...]
Missing
Posted in Poems on September 26, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Every now and then, when the moon is full and shining brightly through my open window…
Just when I think old hurts can no longer haunt me,
There are times, though few and far between,
When something is missing.
A near hunger pang of sorrow over what isn’t anymore
Can annihilate my disposition,
Leaving my spirit bruised in a darkened corner.
Intentional falsehoods whispered [...]
Pan’s Labrynth

…and other subtitled movies…
I am a sucker for subtitled movies, something I didn’t really know about myself until recently. I watched the French “Love Me If You Dare” and Mel Gibson’s “Apocalypto” with relish. And this week, all during my morning workouts, I’ve been checking out “Pan’s Labrynth.” Let’s not forget my adoration for the [...]

Farm Girl

We’re finally getting a taste of cooler temperatures in sunny Colorado, and it feels like FALL today! Have I mentioned this is my favorite season? I look FANTASTIC in fall clothes! Here I am, doing my happy dance, and praying no one sees me because lordy, I am NOT a good dancer.
I did [...]
0.4 Gain

What is it about that number??? 0.4…. 0.4…. 0.4…. It’s like a crazy dream!
There was a day when a gain, ANY gain, would have sent me into a tailspin. Or, should I say, an overeating, binge-style tailspin. Well, I am a changed woman because I know I worked my ass off on that elliptical trainer [...]
Bit of a Rant, but it’s Deep

Today I was walking down a hallway at work, when a woman stopped me to ask me how my mom is doing. I paused, knowing I hadn’t told her my mom is sick, and I asked her what she knew and HOW she knew. So, she said “someone” told her and I explained to her [...]
Insipid
Posted in Girlie Complaining on September 20, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
For some reason lately, I have been utterly, completely and thoroughly without inspiration. Blah, uninspired, bland, insipid… and worried about it. My writing, my day-to-day personal interactions and even my cooking are all lackluster, so what’s up with that?
I could say it’s all about money (or the near absolute lack thereof), but I don’t think that’s [...]
