I booked my vacation time for the summer and I am so happy about it. I have accumulated a lot of time as I haven’t taken my full allotment for a couple of years, so this year I can take 3 weeks off, and I am doing it all at once. I have never done [...]

It is almost June and I am where I was back in oh, March? Poufty and feeling sorry for myself.  Good things:

I cleaned out  the last of the high-carb stuff (cereal and the like) that had somehow snuck into the house over the last few weeks.
I went for a long walk last night and saw [...]

Laundry, yard work - a run - I have such lofty goals for today. Of course it is now almost noon and I have made no motion towards any of that. In fact, I am seriously considering going back to bed for a nap…lol

Spent last night sitting on a dock, watching a flaming sunset fade over the sailboats in the marina. Warm breeze, good man by my side, it felt almost tropical. It won’t last, of course, but it was a beautiful moment.

Updates: Weight, food, exercise…blah. I will have to face the old/former boyfriend in Vancouver looking like the frumpy [...]

Note to self: Roasted marshmallows are not in the atkins world, either.

Somewhere along the line we really screwed up. If men had to go through 3-4 days a month feeling like they had been punched in the gut, barely able to stand up, the world would be on a 3 week on, 1 week off work cycle. No way would they be smiling through days like [...]

Last night I was one of the speakers at a retirement dinner for the director of an art gallery. It was a wonderful way to celebrate - set up in the middle of the gallery, surrounded by wonderful paintings and enjoying a meal catered by one of the best restaurants in town. And, I managed [...]
