Today, in addition to finding out I’m a pathetic excuse for a mother, and a super-crummy wife and an all-around bad person, while at Starbucks today, I also discovered I look old. And I think I might quite possibly be ugly, too.
Feeling very sorry for myself.
PS Boys out there, if you are ever considering teasing a [...]

A Touch Lame

Hubby and I ended up arguing last night, something that is pretty unusual for us, though I think since yesterday afternoon he had been spoiling for a fight. The argument was heated and ugly with lots of screaming involved. Not much of a scrapper by nature, last night I was riled to the point of screeching insults, accusations and [...]
Sad Day

A woman I work with called in today. Her mother passed away this morning after a long fight with cancer. She had been in hospice for a while now, and even though her family was “prepared,” I’m sure that the pain isn’t less for all that preparedness.
My question is, even if we’re expecting to lose [...]

In an uncharacteristically (ahem) shameless maneuver this afternoon, I am going to post something I think is hysterically funny, though altogether inappropriate.
Today, my gal pal was approached by a man who, thinking he was the epitome of a smooth talker, told her he wanted to “go down there… on you.” ShaZAM, he’s foxy! Now, correct me [...]
Skinny?

This morning, I rolled my buns out of bed and switched on Premonition before hopping onto the elliptical trainer. I accidentally/on-puporse hit the snooze button twice, which only left me 1/2 hour to watch Sandra Bullock attempt to change the future and save her husband’s life. Anyway, after I showered, as I was getting ready [...]

I’m pretty sure that sometimes “home” might actually be in someone else’s heart.
0.8 Ain’t Great

So, last night at weigh in, the scale showed a gain! Jeez louise, how the heck did that happen? Was it the Sunday donuts last weekend? Heck, I thought I worked those off with an hour on the elliptical every morning this week. *sigh* Guess not.
In any case, I can’t let myself get too freaked out [...]
Irrational (Rational?) Fear

I’ve really been kicking some serious boo-tay on this weight loss journey, but as I get nearer my goal, worry sets in. Not about not hitting my goal, but about maintaining my weight loss. I mean, losing is easy. I’ve lost flab on many different diets and believe me, weight loss is a cinch. But keeping the [...]

When I was a kid, my mom, as a director of nursing in our small Northeastern Iowa town, worked LOTS of hours. Due to her hectic schedule, my little sister and I spent most of our waking hours with our babysitter, Lois, and her VERY large family. Lois had 5 kids, but her youngest son Bradley was a half [...]
Flustered

…and frazzled. My nerves are SHOT. How is it I am still working in a place where everything, down to the least complicated of office minutia, can be an emergency? An emergent emergency, no less!
Oi!
Do you think someone let me walk in the door and breathe for 2 seconds before hammering away at me with this meeting or that question [...]
