Missing in Inaction

In: Life

Today was going to be it.
 
New job started and behind me.  Hershey PA vacation behind me.  Bigger behind, behind me.  Today was the day I started exercising again.  In my mind, I picked out my Jackie DVD and was all psyched to do it.  After the Bethenny Getting Married episodes I DVRed, of course.  After [...]

New Beginnings - after all these years

In: Life

I cannot recall the last time I wrote.
Probably a month or two ago?  Before Chicago, before the summer term started, before chaos at work.  A lot was going on that I couldn’t write about, but now I think it is safe to share.
I am leaving my current company.  I have put in 10.5 [...]

no title

In: Life

Well, complete failure on the cookie mission.  Lol.  Complete, total, utter failure.
However, my trip went well.  Sort of.  Three of the people that I was going down to meet with weren’t able to come due to circumstances beyond their control, so that was a bummer.  But overall my meeting with the new person went very [...]

Girl Scout Pledge

In: Life

To NOT eat the cookies, that is.
Last night was cookie pickup.  The only thing worse than having over a hundred boxes of cookies in your house is having over a hundred boxes of cookies in the house, and a third of them are owned by you.  Sigh.
Many wonderful, well meaning family members purchased cookies to [...]

You guys are sooo wonderful …

In: Life

I mean really, truly wonderful.  Thank you all for the comments you left me on my last post.  Wow, I was quite bitter and upset, wasn’t I?  Well, thank you for your responses. 
I really need to take the time to get here more often, sigh. 
Well, I am no longer angry or upset or whatever emotion [...]

More bad news

In: Life

Again, this is not really “diet” related … although I suppose it could be, since I have consumed four rather large cookies since hearing “the news”.
For my journal friends who know of my history, they know that my husband (who couldn’t have children) cheated on my when my IVF twins were 15 months old, 6 [...]

It’s been a long time …

In: Life

(Thanks Diane for checking in on me)
Well, some time has passed and life has been busy.  I haven’t worked out in a week, either.  Bah. 
Max had his surgery last Thursday.  He ended up having a large invasive tumor.  The news came back Monday that it was malignant.  In ferrets, adrenal gland disease is common (but [...]

Frustrated beyond belief

In: Life

and has nothing to do with food or exercise.  Warning: I don’t usually speak like this, but I may feel the need to let out some profanity.
I have been working - work-work and school work - for over 12 hours.  I am sick of work.  I have read a management closing case 20 f-ing times.  [...]

Yogurt with a fork

In: Life

Why is it that I never seem to have the proper eating utensil at work?
Interestingly enough, that could also be applied to my life overall: not having the correct tools to perform the action.  Perhaps I wasn’t provided with the correct tools growing up … but now I am making them out of scratch, and [...]

Mission Accomplished!

In: Life

Maybe I have a future as a plumberette!  Two toilets ripped apart and put back together, viola!  Frustrating and a bit stressful, but accomplished which is awesome.
Today was Max’s CBC for next weeks surgery, fixed toilets, did two assignments and 40 minutes on treadmill … didn’t get to it until 8:45, but I still did [...]
