And here we are in March. I’ve sort of recovered from the emotional burnout I talked about last month, but of course, there’s always something else to knock you down and take away any extra spoons but I’m at a point where I’m more aware of it happening, and can at least acknowledge it, […]

Cleaning House
No, this isn’t about me checking out French Maid costumes for halloween… Yesterday was my birthday – I celebrated the 13th anniversary of my 30th year. 🙂 I’m not sharing this tidbit for attention seeking purposes (though you /know/ I’m more than happy to get well wishes to extend my b-day celebration for as long […]
Under Pressure

Joyeux Mardi Gras
Whoo hoo! It’s Mardi Gras, or also (not so nicely) known as “Fat Tuesday”… It’s the last day of indulgence, last day to whoop it up and party yer pants off before strictness/structure/self- or faith-imposed restrictions of the 40 days Lent. It’s that time whe you have one last fling with your favorite foods, your […]
The one where I bite the bullet (and ask for money. ;)
Well, I’ve talked about it, I’ve hemmed, I’ve hawed… and I finally decided just to do it! I am very excited to announce that I have entered my first 5K race! While I don’t really fancy myself as much of a runner, the weather here in Tucson is cooling ever so slightly and making it […]
The one where I open a can of worms…
I have a confession: I’m a grocery store snob. I know! Shocker, huh?! I mean, the hubby and I have already thrown down some of our food snobbery when picking out ice creams, or eggs, or a few other select food items. But this weekend it really drove home the point that I have become […]
Another shameless plug…
Because I know everyone went and donated to my friend Dave for his upcoming ride to Ice MS tinyurl.com/ptbearsdonate … (I just sent in my donation BTW) Here’s a quick note from Dave with info on one more way to help support them in getting a bit more recognition for all their efforts. I looked […]
Help out the PTB!
You all know my fondness for the PTB… those external forces that send small signals and signs that we’re on the right path, that we need to take heed. Of course, sometimes they wield a ClueX4 to smack you upside the head with a lesson you didn’t pay attention the first 50 times. But today, […]
Another shameless plug
This email is from Jonathan Roche, founder of Momentum Fitness System and trainer extrordinaie… One of the things that really made me decide to become a trainer was reading his emails and listening to his show on blogtalkradio.com – his encouragement and amazing attitude proved to me that you don’t have to stand on people […]
Priorities
So here I am… I desperately need a new wedding band because the “old” (being on the finger for less than a year) is too big and keeps sliding around. This wonderful ring was given to me by the love of my life, is beautiful and has taken up residence on the right hand (still […]
