I’m not looking forward to tonight’s weigh-in. I’m moody and tired and nearly certain I’m suffering from an acute case of PMS. Which means I’ll probably show a gain because of water retention. Which will make me feel fat. Which makes me want to skip my weigh-in and go home to eat a big greasy [...]

At Wit’s End, Though Not At Day’s End
Posted in Girlie Complaining on January 31, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Have you ever noticed that by the end of a particularly long workday, you’re just about three-tenths of an inch away from submitting your resignation? From life?!?! And it doesn’t have to be anyone’s fault or that anything went wrong, per se, it’s just that you really want to escape so you can veg for awhile?
Well, [...]
Romanticizing War
Posted in Various and Sundry on January 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
One of my daughter’s friends recently joined the Army – a fine institution which I’m proud to say my father, my uncles, my grandfather and his father before him belonged to. However proud I may be, though, I am having serious reservations about this whole war business and the recruiting of young men (and young women) [...]
Of Baking Bread and the Art of Relaxation

This weekend, in an attempt to get the heck away from it all, I escaped out to the eastern homestead with the sole intent of rebooting my system. I wanted, no, I needed, some windshield time, figuring that after my 2 hour drive, I would be on my way to inner peace and quietude. Really, [...]
My Favorite Shoes
Posted in Girlie Complaining, Weight Watchers Journey on January 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Which I can no longer wear since my weight loss efforts have left me with thinner feet and so the shoes fall off when I take a step. And they were expensive, too. *sigh* Please disregard the puppy nose prints on the mirror, it’s the shoe I’m mourning today, not the dogs’ lack of respect for [...]
1.2

I dropped another 1.2 at my weigh in last night! Yippee! 1.2 is no small feat these days, but with the holidays over and behind me, I seem to be holding my own. Working out, eating right, what’s not to love about Weight Watchers???
I think for me, the key is mindfulness. If I pay attention [...]
You Probably Didn’t Know
Posted in Various and Sundry on January 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I read blogs like most other people read the newspaper. It’s part of my inner voyeur. Even the day to day minutia of people’s lives interests me.
I can’t stand to see dishes left in the sink and demand they either be washed by hand or loaded into the dishwasher.
I love my mouth, and I spend [...]
Lambchop, the Haiku
Posted in Lunchtime Adventures on January 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Just out of meanness and because Steph and Jason asked me to, and also because I miss the ’Chop as fodder for the blogmill, here is a nifty barely interesting haiku in his honor:
Puffing breath upward
Hair blows out of beedy eyes
No one likes Lambchop
My “Precious”
Posted in Various and Sundry on January 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
My little dog is just about my favorite critter of all time. She’s just over a year old – a black and white pitbull named Phoebe. But I call her “Precious” in that scary voice like Smeegle used in Lord of the Rings when he was talking about the ring. hee.
Anyway, this weekend she was [...]
With Grace and Flair

I’m going to try to not be a downer today. “Try” being the keyword.
So, on a light note…
This morning, I went to Starbucks for my new favorite drink: skinny mocha latte with half the pumps of sugar free chocolate. Yummmmmmm. But, that isn’t the point of this post. No, my point is that [...]
