I spent my time in a nice mix of work and play. I hope this sense of balance is something I’m able to carry with my into the new school year. Actually, not “I hope,” but rather, “this is something I am going to promise myself, through dedicated efforts.”
Saturday morning I made some [...]

My basement is FLOODED!
Posted in flooding, frustration, life, mishaps on August 25, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I had planned to spend most of this weekend getting myself mentally prepared for school.
You know, by shopping for cute new school clothes and things like that. Haha.
I also planned to go by school and reorganize my room because of course the custodians never leave it the way they find it when they do a [...]
What’s that sound?

I can hear them in the distance. The sound is unmistakable. The sounds are akin to an arcade, but so much more satisfying. The high-energy spinning and whirling. The fun pictures of cherries and “free spins.”
The sound of SLOT MACHINES hitting the jackpot!!
Today I’m heading to Cache Creek Resort & Casino [...]
Finally made my 1st 10,000 steps!
Posted in health, life, self-improvement, weight loss on August 5, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I’ve been following the 10,000 Steps Program for about a week now, and I’ve really been enjoying trying to hit that mark. It’s a lot more difficult than I thought!
One of the main problems is that my summer office job doesn’t really offer too much opportunity for getting up and walking around. My [...]

It occurred to me this morning that I started this blog to be about my dating exploits on the path to finding The One and it has morphed into a weightloss/self-improvement/home decorating/food/book blog. I’m fine with that, but I wonder if I should change my About page? I just reread it, and I really like [...]

Go to my Be An After, Stay An After post to see the new before pictures that BFF snapped of me tonight.
The pictures are really good motivation for me. I can’t wait to take progress pictures in the same clothes (as long as they fit) and see the changes. It should be pretty [...]
One step forward, 2.3 steps back
Posted in Weight Watchers, frustration, health, life, weight loss on August 3, 2007 | 4 Comments »
I’ve been feeling really positive about all of the good things I’ve been doing for myself to lose weight and get healthy. I’ve been going to the gym, walking at the local high school track, and even joined a weight training class on Saturday mornings. I’ve been keeping within my daily points target and journaling [...]
Who’s Out There?
Posted in blog, life, new discoveries, perspective, writing on August 2, 2007 | 5 Comments »
I love writing this blog — it gives me a creative outlet to talk about what’s on my mind, what I’ve been doing lately, or what I’ve been struggling with.
It’s a way for me to keep in touch with friends who know my “true identity,” but may live too far to hear about my day [...]
