Isn’t it funny how whenever someone puts an animal name in front of an illness, people just fuh-REAK out? (funny strange and funny amusing) I mean, thousands contract influenza every single year, but most of us just don’t dwell on it much. But call it “swine flu” and we’ve suddenly got a pandemic - countries all over the planet [...]

The Lengths I’ll Go to Drop a Few Pounds…

Having noticed I’m getting a tad pudgier around the middle than I like, I’ve recently reevaluated my desire to be a Weight Watcher. I mean, I could easily just have gastric bypass surgery and lose weight that way, right? Unfortunately, I’ve heard you have to be at least 100 pounds overweight to qualify for surgery.
Meh. [...]
Grocery Store Rant

What is it about grocery stores that make people lose their damn minds?!?! It’s like as soon as they step inside, the glare from the overhead lighting causes their brains to shrink.
They wander from aisle to aisle, blank gazes directed toward the ceiling, as if all the good stuff is suspended from the rafters and [...]
Weekend Agenda

I have declared this weekend “J’s Alone-Time Weekend.” I haven’t had an inch of space to myself since news of the affair, so it’s past due, I think. Tonight after work, I’m heading out to the country – I’m hoping to find my reset button, and hoping that it’s still out there after all that’s gone [...]
Return from Home

I’m back from Iowa – it’s weird that I was gone for so long but it feels like I only left yesterday. Something about going home always seems time-warp-ish.
The funeral was difficult, mostly because I’ve never seen my dad cry. He’s so stoic typically, which I imagine is where I get that particular trait. But it [...]

Just when I was sure I couldn’t take one. more. thing…
My grandmother passed away yesterday. And apparently I can take one more thing. And one more. And yet another. Because I haven’t cracked yet, inspite of me, though I feel like I’m disconnected from myself. Like I’m looking down on some other person living my [...]

Well, tomorrow night would be my weigh in, but since I am going on vacation for the next few days, I cheated and jumped on today – down 2 pounds! Yippee! Apparently anger is good for my figure.
Tonight, with just a tiny bit of packing, I am OUTTA HERE, baby!
“Love Has No Fear and No Vengeance”

Hmmmm. I’ll have to think on that a bit. I drink a lot of tea. A LOT of tea. And one of my new favorite brands is Yogi Tea, and not because it’s super delicious (though it is), but because each teabag comes with a little fortune. “Love has no fear and no vengeance” was [...]
