This is the only picture I’ve taken in several days and, if you read here with any regularity, you know that I hate photo-free posts. Anyhow… My dad made me this necklace when he first started slumping glass many many moons ago and I texted it to him to show that it was made with … [Read more…]
My goal at my diet bet was to weigh 214.7. I had all this angst that I wouldn’t be able to do it, but it turned out not to be a problem. I’m sure glad I blasted most of my holiday weight off, though. Bleh! I think I am definitely going to do another bet. … [Read more…]
I weighed in at 215.2 today. I’m so close to hitting my diet bet goal early in the game that it’s making me a little paranoid about being accused of cheating. At first I decided not to weigh in publicly anymore, but then I realized I have earned my weightloss as much as anyone. I … [Read more…]
It’s the saddest day in January. It is the last day before we go back to school. I always thought the last day of summer was bad, but man, this has been a tough day. Ugh. It’s so silly, but I just love being around my family so much that I hate to go back … [Read more…]
I know it’s only been two days. I KNOW! LOL! But so far, this year is off to a great start towards meeting my goals. Because I believe in small goals and small celebrations when I meet those goals, I’d say I’m pretty successful. Why? 1. I have started exercising like I did in the … [Read more…]

First: SQUEEEEE! I figured out how to embed a YouTube video! It was all the fault of these mobile sites on my iPad. Tsk tsk. Anyhow… I have always been one for resolutions. Every year for the past two decades I’ve made a resolution to lose weight, become more active or eat healthier. Sometimes a … [Read more…]
There are all of these mommy-blog wars lately. I’m sure you’ve heard about them- people getting their garters all askew over something one mom wrote/said that was intended or unintended to be hurtful to other moms who are trying their best -gosh darn it! Righteous indignation is established. People feel judged, ridiculed and overwhelmed at … [Read more…]
Today is Bradley’s birthday. It’s a tricky day because he has a love-hate relationship with his birthday. Mostly on the side of hate it can be tricky. This day, though, Jude was on day two of the stomach flu, so doing much of anything was out of the question. We did take a really interesting … [Read more…]
This break has been great for getting me back in my running shoes and out on the street. I am feeling the burn, I tell ya. I usually do not walk at all on my runs, but over this week, I’ll admit that I have walked a little. And by a little, I mean less … [Read more…]
