A couple of months ago, I realized that my bingeing had pushed my weight up to a point where not only was I unhappy with the way I looked (I’m working on that), but I honestly didn’t FEEL all that great, either. I was above my personal “Healthy” weight by about 10 pounds or so. [...]

Well, this week is a bust for posting every day. I’ve been flat-out with migraines every morning this week. They clear up by noon or so, but then I’ve got half a day to do all my office work.
But! I have an appointment tonight with a chiropractor that my acupuncturist recommended. Apparently, it’s likely that [...]

Honestly.
See, the PMS makes me want COOKIESCHIPSCHOCOLATEICECREAM, but the problem is that I can’t eat all that without going over my allotment for the day. (How is that a problem, you ask? Just don’t eat them all! To which I reply, Have you ever HAD PMS?!?!) And up till now I’ve been ok with remembering [...]

Dude. Seriously.
Let me say that again, with fully Valley Girl inflections:
Duuuuude. SEEERiously.
(What? I grew up in LA, I’M ALLOWED! DON’T JUDGE ME!!!)
*runs weeping from room*
Oh. I’m back now. Sorry. Just a little hormonal there. Which is weird, because I? Am not usually a hormonal PMS-er. I sometimes have bad cramps, but usually not too much [...]
To Sleep, Perchance to Dream. (Or not. Not dreaming would be ok, too. EVEN BETTER, actually.)

For the last several nights, I’ve been getting a lot of sleep, but waking up feeling drained and tired. Not physically tired, but emotionally tired. The kind of tired you feel after spending a day with Great Aunt Ethel who only wants to talk about her spleen. The kind of tired that makes you want [...]
Trying vs. Doing

A motivational speaker once dropped a coin on the floor of the stage and called a member of the audience up. “Now,” she said, “try to pick up that coin.” The gentleman from the audience bent down and picked it up.
“No, no, no,” she responded. “You picked it up. I didn’t say ‘pick it up.’ [...]
To Post or Not to Post? That is the Question . . .

There’s a new post below this one – a REAL post, even.
So, for those of you who don’t know, I’m in the process of writing a cookbook. I’m thinking of starting a new blog about it, although because I’m single and can’t eat that much food, there would probably only be one new [...]
Going Away is Nice, but I’m Glad to Be Home

Holy cow. I’ve been in Georgia for several days, staying with my uncle and aunt, golfing. Well, LEARNING to golf, anyway. It’s been . . . entertaining. Ha! (Turns out golf is a lot more fun when you can ACTUALLY HIT THE FREAKIN’ BALL. Who knew?)
Anyway. Do you ever have something to say, but you’re [...]
Sacred Contracts, Archetypal Patterns and other New Age Stuff/Crap that Informs How I Deal With My (Sometimes) Warped Brain

Hey, did I win for the longest post title ever? Did I? Did I? LOL
I have purposely NOT written about this stuff, because I know a lot of people don’t buy it (and I don’t blame them), and I didn’t want to lose ALL my credibility – ha! But after the last couple of posts, [...]
Percolating
Posted in Random Subjects on January 14, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Hi folks!
After those last two posts, I have a LOT to think about, and my brain hasn’t sorted through it all yet. Hopefully I will have some stuff to post later today. If not, I’m leaving town for a few days tomorrow, but I’ll be back on Sunday.
So if I can’t finish percolating today, I’ll [...]
