So yesterday I felt great. Actually really great. I even said to my son on the way home from school “I feel really good! Do you ever just feel really good?” I believe in writing we refer to that as foreshadowing . . . I will spare you the details, but my evening progressed strangely […]
a This and That Post
I’ve decided from time to time to post just quick updates and musings from my ridiculous life and all it’s different aspects and excitement. And it’s Tuesday so maybe we’ll always do that on Tuesday. Or maybe not. I don’t like being fenced in. So yeah, here’s the first and maybe last installment of Running […]
The Great Healthy Living Project 2014
Me and My Groom, February 10th, 1990 Yes, that is a ridiculously bold name. But I thought “The First Installment On My Journey to Look Better in a Swimsuit for my 25th Wedding Anniversary Trip*” was a little long and obnoxious so I went with something simpler;). I’m not actually sure if I’ll loose any […]
Is 2014 YOUR Year?
Is 2014 your year? I mean, I know you already have hopes and plans and ambitions. I’m not talking about resolutions, here. I don’t believe in them. Resolutions are “pie crust promises. Easily made. Easily broken.” Thank you, Mary Poppins. But maybe, just maybe, this is the year you put an end to the excuses. […]
Of Mangers, And Pain, and Redemption
I woke this morning to news of more violence in South Sudan. More evil. More innocent blood being shed. It’s but one story in this world of ours that is full of evil and pain and injustice. Of violence and fear and atrocity. Of one million children freezing in Syrian refuge camps and young girls […]
We Have 7 Days Left
There are seven days until Christmas and I feel like I can say that to myself in one of two ways. The first, the one I default to, the one that feels the most normal this time of year comes through a mega phone a bit like Ty Pennington on Extreme Makeover Home Edition. “SEVEN […]
Losing 80 Pounds in 80 Days – My Husband is FINALLY Sharing his Story
I’ve been after Scott to write this post for over a year. It’s a miraculous, amazing, joyful story that definitely ends with a happily ever after because I have a healthier and happier husband. He’s been my best friend since I was 18 years old, and I cannot express my pride and admiration for his […]
I’m Sad Today . . But It’s OK
I’ve talked before here about my struggle with depression. It has lessened greatly over the years but the truth is, I’m always looking over my shoulder for it to come back. To have another one of those moments where I suddenly fall through a trap door in the floor and can’t get out. And […]
I Don’t Handle Disappointment Well – Thanks A TON, Cleon! Dallas Marathon Musings
If you live in Dallas, or really any of the numerous parts of the country affected by that nasty Winter Storm Cleon, you’re very familiar with disappointment about now. Personally, I’m disappointed that the National Weather Service has such a boring person in charge of naming storms, but I’ll save that discussion for another post. […]
