Yeah, I’m a day late.. but not a pound short! Since I’m using the balance scales at the gym to measure weight loss, and they were closed on Christmas day, I couldn’t report until today.
The news? After more than a month stuck at the same weight (but losing inches like mad) I had [...]

Back when I was a single adult, I didn’t have enough to do with my time. Working full time, attending grad school part-time and keeping up my apartment? Not enough. So I also volunteered with my local Red Cross Disaster Team. One weekend a month I was on call. And [...]

I’ve been working on being a better blogger… more chatty and engaged. However, I think I’m dealing with some holiday/gray day/ seasonal type of the blues. I’m stressing over things that usually roll off my back; I’m crying over commercials again.
And I really don’t care to exacerbate it by writing about it.. or [...]

Nevermind. This week, I found [...]

Isn’t Red Chard the perfect holiday vegetable?? All red and green and crinkled? Don’t you love the nice shots I get with my new camera??
Finally a bit of good news in the Tale department. I am down a full pound from last week. And at this point, it won’t be that [...]

This week has been taken up with repairmen, errands and other non-fun but necessary stuff. Had a fun outing yesterday with Clara, though. I have tons of idea rumbling around my brain, but I can’t get anything to come clear when I actually have time to try and write.
So I fall back on [...]

Day 7 of Holidailies.
Wednesday, both on BlogHer and at A Stitch in Time, I wrote about craft bloggers with a personal connection to the Kim family. I crafted that post through teary vision. Why? I’m not completely sure. I have not met the Kims, nor shopped in Kati Kim’s shop [...]
