Breakin’ all the rules!

April 30, 2010

I’m breaking all the rules and I’ve decided to read 2 books at once (well, actually three once my new copy of Years of Rice & Salt arrives from Amazon because we all know that I need to get back to that one STAT). I took everyone’s advice from my poll and agreed that I [...]

Fresh.

April 30, 2010

Fresh is one of my most favorite words.  I know I’m not alone when I say there are words that you just haaAATE!  Just the sound of them makes you cringe!  For my sister, it’s the word “bolus” (bolus: n. A soft mass of chewed food) and for my friend Lauren it’s the word “moist”.   Just the sound [...]

My Wishlist

April 29, 2010

I have a note in my Blackberry that I’ve keep for quite a while, titled Wishlist.  The only way I can describe this list is things I would wish for if there were no other barriers to getting/achieving them!  Some are silly, such as Electric Razor.  For some reason, every time I go to buy [...]

Lil Purp

April 28, 2010

It is with a heavy heart that I announce to the world the passing of a dear member of our family, Midnight Purple Mica(her true and given name).  She was also affectionately known as Purp, Purpster, Lil Purp and The Eggplant.  A 1995 Geo Prizm, she outlasted all expectations and truly repaid her meager $10,500 investment ten [...]

Ripple effect

April 28, 2010

I was fascinated by tonight’s episode of The Biggest Loser.  I have always been a huge fan of this tv show, but for some reason I haven’t had a chance to catch this season very much.  But tonight, I was busy shopping online for a new car (a story for another day!) and I had [...]

Book #13: Julie & Julia

April 27, 2010

So, I both loved and hated this book. I hated this book because of the following:1. Julie Powell was whiny and arrogant in a condescending, nerdy way.  2. She was rude to her husband who seemed like he was just trying to help!3. There was a scene where she finds a mess of MAGGOTS LIVING [...]

Quick Tips: How to find balance

April 27, 2010

The pursuit of balance in an otherwise crazy (sometimes chaotic) world is one of my most tireless tasks!  I seem to always have too much of something, and not enough of another.  One thing always has to be sacrificed when I have to make room for something else. Sometimes I can’t find the happy medium [...]

This could not be less awesome

April 20, 2010

So, I have a confession to make.  I wrote an entire blog post on my train ride home about how I had pink eye and how awful it was because I have sooo much to do and it’s horrible timing and there is nothing worse I could have to endure right this minute.  Here, enjoy: =========================================== I thought [...]

Weigh-in Monday

April 19, 2010

Of all the paradoxes in the world (paradoxi?), one of them is trying to manage a clean eating diet during a bachelorette party weekend.  HA!  Well, I did manage to do ok…. but not uber-perfect… and the 5 lbs I had seemingly magically shed between last Monday – Thursday ended up being only about 2.4 when it [...]
