I am coming clean here–no pun intended (okay maybe a little). I am HORRIBLE housekeeper. Horrible might even be an understatement. I am pretty sure that it is. It isn’t that I like a messy house–because I hate it–I just don’t seem to be able to organize my house in a way that makes it [...]
I know that no one is making me go to school. It is something I have chosen for myself and I am proud of my accomplishments. I was the first in my family to get an advanced degree and will be the first with a PhD and chances are good that I’ll be the only [...]
So, at the office on Tuesday someone came in to talk to the Dean of the Graduate School (who is my boss) about a doc student who plagiarized their comprehensive exams. This lead into a long discussion about how stupid that was to work so hard for something and then cheat. It just doesn’t make [...]
On the scale that is. I haven’t blogged month that last few months. Life has just been busy and I have been trying to figure out how to keep all the balls I am juggling in the air and the blogging ball has been left to lay under the table gathering dust. Well, I am [...]
I have been working out/exercising every day now for 26 days. I haven’t lost any weight and I finally have figured out why. I haven’t been eating enough. I know that sounds crazy doesn’t it. But when you exercise everyday and you don’t give your body enough of the right stuff, it holds on to [...]
I have been struggling with my eating for a long time and this as well as my struggle over staying home or working. I guess I have arrived at a crossroads personally and have finally picked a path. I a living my life as though I have already reached my goals. Asking myself at every turn–what [...]
I love January 1. I love starting a new year with a fresh new outlook (read–positive outlook) and nothing but endless possibility. I am certainly starting this new year with a fresher and more positive outlook than I ended 2008 with. The end of 2008 so much seemed to rain down upon me towards the [...]
I have not written about weight loss in a long time–probably because I have fallen off the bandwagon and there really isn’t loss going on. I have skirted the severity of the issue and it is time that I address with brutal honesty the serious nature of the issues. I am not dying…not any faster [...]
As time flies by too too quickly, I am trying to think about and appreciate the little things. The amazing smile and giggle of my little girl who can now climb up the stairs. They are growing up so fast. Noah is constantly amazing me with his verbal skills–he is picking up about 5 new [...]
Thanks for all your kind words about my photog business. It has been in the making for a long time and I am happy to finally have it be “official.” I certainly won’t get rich-as my availability is quite limited–as I have two kids, go to school, serve on the board of a non-profit, am [...]
