I’m not over it.
I haven’t been too busy to blog. In fact, there must be a half dozen drafts that I just couldn’t publish. I don’t feel safe here anymore. I’ve had my words here twisted and shoved down my throat and I’m tired of exposing my soul to people if it means I’m going to [...]
Busy Bee.
I’m a little out of my element right now. I spent years with a very flexible schedule, and now I have a regular hour type office job. I am really enjoying the job though, in part due to working with Marla, who is training me to take over part of her responsibilities while [...]
On Faith.
I wasn’t always the anxiety-ridden control freak that I am today. When I was young, I was very laid back. It was something that most likely drew Brian to me throughout the years of our pre-romantic friendship. The irony that the way our relationship fell to pieces is what catalyzed my journey into anxiety and [...]
The Ugly Truth
I’ve become a master at the mask.
It’s not a mask to hide treachery,
or a mask to hide true intentions.
But it does hide the truth.
It does hide the sneer when I change my clothes.
The fat, everywhere, spilling all around me.
Choking me, hiding me, keeping me from being.
It swallows me whole and buries me alive.
It does hide [...]
Backpack
I’ve tried a ton of ways to stay organized and on track-Outlook, Google calendar, Yahoo notebook, blah blah blah. The problem was that everything was so spread out that I would get tired of using multiple services and just quit altogether. If someone could find a way to sync any piece of software with [...]
Cool cookbook project
I actually stumbled across this site today: Family Cookbook Project and I thought it would make a great family heirloom project. It is kind of pricy, but it could give you the basis to do it yourself for less, right? Recipes have traditionally been passed down from generation to generation, but this is a way [...]
43 Things
We all have our little internal list of things we want to do before we die…mine range from learning how to fly a plane to exploring ancient Mayan temples. Sometimes turning those internal whispers of dreams into public shouts of goals helps us reach them faster.
Make your list at 43 Things and see what [...]
How long is that pile in the back of the freezer good, anyway?
You probably already know that using your freezer to its full potential can save you big bucks on your grocery bill, but if you are like me, you are not really sure what freezes well, how long things last in the freezer, and how to do it right-yes, there is more to doing it right [...]
Welcome!
I’m welcoming myself, just for the record, since no one else knows my cute little momblog exists yet. *grin*
I have such hopes for this, which is typical of how I feel about my little projects that usually fizzle out before they ever reach fruition, lol. I envision it growing into a platform for other [...]
