Progress…
Well, I’m about 6 weeks into, as I have lovingly referred to it, religious fat camp. And, surprise, surprise — I’ve fallen off of the wagon. I did very well with eating until Christmas and then lost it between Christmas & New Years. Then 1/2, I started working with my personal trainer — interesting […] Read more…
Has the line between sexy & cute been blurred?
I’ve been pondering this for several weeks now and it came to a peak last week. I was wearing a fairly moderate business suit — no cleavage but skirt came down to just above the knees. Add to this moderate suit, 4 inch black knee-high microfiber boots. Grand total of skin showing? 6-9 inches around […] Read more…
R.I.P. Hedley Lamar
Our dearly beloved peach-faced lovebird, Hedley Lamar, died around 7:00pm today. http://www.flickr.com/photos/thesteeds/358865319/ Her goodnight bell ring will be much missed. She was the smartest bird we ever owned–she figured out how to get out of her cage within days. Hedley taught our budgie how to sound like her and always announced Al’s arrival home. Though […] Read more…

my hometown…
I REALLY don’t like my hometown. It’s evil. I feel it everytime I go there. It’s not outwardly, obviously evil like a Stephen King novel, but evil in a “morally wrong and no one cares or sees any problem with it” kind of way. That’s a whole different post/tyrade. Given that the town is also […] Read more…
Goal for the new year? Live my mission statement.
“Goals that are not written down are just wishes.”? I’m not sure who said it, but I like it. I tend to create/revisit goals about every 3 months; when the seasons change, I become reinvigorated. — Is that a word? I was going to write out my goals but I’ve decided not to. They basically […] Read more…
