The musings and ramblings of a day dreamer.
March 3rd (I know, I'm late - I got sick!) I got my hair cut. I chopped off about 14 inches (it was 13.75 inches - so i'm rounding up). I took before, during and after pictures: This isn't the first time I've done this "rapid transformation" so to speak. Every three or four years I… Continue reading Life Events: Haircut
I ended up in the ER yesterday. I am ok now, but damn that sucked. NOT how I wanted my husband to spend V-day with me. That was NOT the plan (there wasn't a real plan just "spend time together" so.... we did that!) I went to my pulmonologist last week for my bi-annual check… Continue reading Life Event: Asthma
I have 2 reviews in progress but have written little more than intro paragraphs on them. It has been such a crazy week for my paying-the-bills job that a LOT has slid to the side (my wonderful husband has been so supportive, I can't even tell you how much I have needed him this week).… Continue reading Life Events: Apologies!
I don't do normal resolutions. By normal I mean the list of "this year I'm gonna lose 20 lbs" or "I'm saving $1 every day" I aim for my resolutions to change me; change my outlook or my philosophy or some aspect of me. They really become more than just one-year resolutions. For 2018, my resolution… Continue reading New Year’s Resolutions
Ok, so I missed the anniversary (by quite a bit actually) - but I've hit 3 years blogging! Wow. I was doing some admin clean-up and considering if I want to try a different skin (I feel like the "look" of my blog is... off/wrong/meh). I looked at my post history and found it had… Continue reading Memories: Three years
It's holiday season, which is always a stressful time and made more stressful for people who are trying to lose weight. With Thanksgiving past, I am seeing the annual parade of posts about "hitting the gym" and "getting back on the horse." This is hard for me. I am overweight. Technically, I am "obese" although… Continue reading Memories: Ideal Weight
Today is Black Friday in the US. The ultimate holiday of capitalism. I will be spending my day hanging out with my family. We will play board games, cook delicious food, and probably get into a political argument. It's like doing Thanksgiving 2 days in a row. So much better than going out and dealing… Continue reading Shopping!
So this entire post comes with history. A LOT of history. There are stories within stories here and I can't fully explore them in a single post. So, I'll skip some bits here and jump straight into the pieces you need (well, I'll try, it's hard to unpack all the inter-tangled pieces). All the best stories are… Continue reading Life Memories: Systemic Sexism
When I was kid (like eight maybe nine) my best friend came over and we watched Bambi. She had never seen it and I was shocked. How did someone make it to this age without seeing this Disney classic. So I fixed this oversight in her upbringing like a good friend should and would (and did!).… Continue reading Life Memories: Hunting Season
So last year my husband and I bought a house. And usually, I can ignore any elections in odd-number years, but 2 of the the 3 city council "at large" posts are on my local ballot. So it's time for: Annual Election Coverage Now, because I am just a hair paranoid, I won't list candidate… Continue reading Politics: Local
