Well, it’s January, the time of year when most Americans renew their pledge to get fit and strong, and I’m no exception. Okay, if not fit and strong, then slightly in shapeand at leaststronger than my kids. And, since they’re only 6 and 3 I’m thinkingI’ve got about 6 years to beef up a little. […]
Could have been a terrible idea.
My hubby and I can be kind of cheap. Not in the traditional “count every penny and waste not/want not” kind of way. More in the “loathe spending money on things that won’t benefit us in some way, shape or form” kind of way. This “cheapness” extends itself into different parts of our lives. For […]
Ridiculous phobias
My “fear” post earlier this week got me thinking. I have some ridiculous phobias. (And here you thought my fear of landing on the ‘people of walmart’ website was a ridiculous phobia…unless you didn’t because you think there is a good possibility I could end up on that website, in which case, whatever.) I’ve always […]
Fears…ignorance is not always bliss.
I recently realized something about myself. I should have realized this little tidbit a long time ago. I mean, there were all kinds of signals. I’m quite sure that anyone who knows me probably would be shocked to find out that I am just now figuring this issue out. Here it is…I am COMPLETELY unaware […]
Man…what was I thinking?
Have you ever looked at an oldpicture/videoof yourselfand thought, what in the world was I thinking? More specifically, did you used to think that you used to be ‘all that and a bag of chips’ and suddenly became aware that you weren’t even ‘some of that and a single chip’? Not even a frickin’ frito. […]
Desperate times…my hubby is my WeightWatchers coach.
I have been a “Weight Watcher” on and off for several years now. On when I have extra money and well, extra motivation. Off when I realize that only counting points one day a week does not make for an effective weight-loss regimen or a very loyal “Weight Watcher” for that matter. And, lately I’ve […]
I should have never bought that Halloween candy!
I made a big mistake. Huge. Humongous. I should have known better. I should have recognized my own weaknesses.I should have known when to say “no.” I should have neverbought that Halloween candy…the party pack, no less. About a week ago I was doing my grocery shopping, minding my own business, cruising along the aisles. […]
I’ve got a cold…or maybe it’s the swine flu?
Uggghhh. I’m sick. Not the kind of sick where I want to snuggle into my bedcovers and watch soap operas or evenreruns of “The Nanny” or “Little House on the Prairie”. The kind of sick where I want to snuggle into my bedcovers and sleep until it’s 2012. Are you hearing me? No reruns? Not […]
Sacrifices for Beauty
You guys, I can’t feel my fingertips. I could commit a rash of different crimes and never be implicated. You want to know why? Because I literally glued my fingers together the other day attempting to apply press-on nails. Yup. Glued. Together. I apparently didn’t take the “5-second rule” seriously enough. When they say that […]
I Would Never Have Guessed THIS Would Happen….
So, I discovered something about myself the other day. Something I never saw coming in a million years…are you ready? Here it is. I kick ass at water aerobics. I’m not kidding. I’m shockingly good at it. What defines “good”? How exactly does one “kick ass” at water aerobics? Allow me to enlighten you. Recently, […]
