Started working through a journaling site by Lisa Gates. Thought I might publish some of them here…don’t know about all of them as I am not sure what all she will ask about.
Today she asked – What is Balance Anyway…
I get all jammed up with this idea of balance. It is my perception that most [...]
Nope, I am not getting slack. My books actually were derailed and thus delayed my pursuit of higher learning.
So that you know that I am not making light of a deadly situation, I did look the accident up. Seems the accident occurred in California. Two tankers caught on fire and produced some hazardous fumes which [...]
Yeah – you noticed. Even if you didn’t, lie to me and tell me you did. My blogging posts have taken a small hiatus. Funny timing since we are quickly towards the celebrations of my first bloggy birthday – feel free to throw me a surprise party and send me presents and cake and ice [...]
So, I haven’t been out of pajamas since Monday afternoon. Don’t be jealous – it hasn’t been fun. I think I am getting sawed in half right around my midsection. It’s chick stuff, so I won’t go into it (you’re welcome). However, it is not normal for me, so it is starting to get me [...]
Ok, so maybe Weight Watchers doesn’t stink – the fact that I am on it does. I gained 15 pounds in 2007 – after I lost ALL the baby weight from Morgan’s birth in February! That train stops today – well yesterday.
First, let me note a few things to hedge off the “OMG – April [...]
Ha! Made you look! So sue me if I have a little fun with the post titles. I am, however, fixing to go on a rave about two new things I just discovered. I have no monetary interest in either of these items. They just ROCK!
First, I think I may finally be able to [...]
Time for a good Saturday rant so I can vent it all out and get on with my beautiful day.
I am so incredibly tired of spammers. What a waste of space. They used to just mildly irritate me. Nature of the beast and all that. I didn’t give it much thought.
Recently, [...]
Leave it to Craig Harper to come up with an “in your face” challenge that my nature just cannot turn away from. Get Yer S**t Together kicks off tomorrow.
I will admit to thinking, “Who really needs to participate in another bloggy challenge?” Then I opened my feed reader yesterday (blasted thing). There’s David Zinger over [...]
While I was pregnant with our second daughter, my body did a strange thing…it’s mass increased by 80 pounds. Hmm. Pregnant causes some of that. Eddy’s Double Chocolate Chunk and McDonald’s french fires causes the rest. Who knew?
Anyway, I got real serious about taking off that baby weight. In the process, I learned that not [...]
For those who don’t know, I have recently recovered from 2 solid years of pregnancy – yep, I’ve got the elephants beat.
In February 2005, we discovered that we were expecting our third child. A crushing blow came 2 months later when we found out we had lost her. 2 months later, we got the news [...]
Well, it looks like Em’ has enjoyed these last couple of posts being about her. In an attempt to keep a firm grip on her position, she has decided to get sick.
There are few things that tug at my heart like a sick baby. At this age, she can’t tell me what hurts, what she [...]
I was on a roll this weekend.
I had finished reading The Secret some time ago. While I don’t buy into all of it, there was some encouraging stuff in there. Being intentional about how my brain works, where my thoughts go, and what my energy is focused on has been very helpful.
My inbox is still [...]
And that is saying something in the world of Beautiful Chaos!
First – the things I did not do
Make a breakfast meeting – which I hate that I missed
Get my college enrollment letter in the mail – which I can do tomorrow
But – I did
Have lunch with a friend
Get my Constant Contact set up for Turn [...]
I try – I really do try. Lani had an excellent suggestion in time management. I read her schedule with great envy. So, employ the egg timer technique. Simple genius. With one flaw. I do not respect the egg timer. I set it, I work, it goes off, I continue to work…just a few more [...]
I am making a rule right now – there will never be more than 10 sitting messages in my inbox. OMG!!! I cannot believe I let it get so carried away (I deleted all the extra “ooooo” on the end of “so” – I am not a fan of a lot of creative spelling.)
There had [...]
I have to tell ya – my brain is all over the place. If I could harness all my thoughts and follow them through – what a wondrous accomplishment that would be. But, alas, it is but a jumbled mess and I am trying to decide how best to untangle the web.
I am a producer [...]
