Yesterday, January 29th, was my QUIT DAY. As of 11pm on Monday night (Jan. 28), I haven’t had a cigarette! Go me!!
Last night we had our Freedom From Tobacco class, which was good. We talked about how each of us was doing, did some breathing exercises (which really work, actually), and each us [...]

Finals week – under the gun
Posted in life, school year, tagged finals, grading, overload, teaching on January 21, 2008 | 2 Comments »
This week is finals week, and although I will be the one giving the finals instead of taking them, I feel almost as much pressure as I’m sure my students do. You see, I have to have everything graded by Monday at 8am. Ugh. I’m under the wire with this one, do [...]
Should I change gyms?

Yesterday at lunch, one of my teacher buddies heard me talking about going to yoga and asked me which gym I belonged to. I told her that I go to 24 Hour Fitness, but that I go to a yoga studio to take the Bikram classes. She mentioned that she and her husband just joined [...]
No More Mindless T.V.!!!!!
Posted in bummin' around, changes, life, new beginnings, organization, procrastination, school year, tagged mindless, T.V. on January 18, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I’m not one of those people who hates T.V. and all that it stands for. I love watching T.V., especially shows that I consider worthwhile, like Grey’s Anatomy, Ugly Betty, Biggest Loser, and Lost (whenever it comes back on). I’ve always thought people who bragged about not watching T.V. were pretentious. Especially [...]
Belief = Reality
Posted in dating, journey, life, life list, men, perspective, philosophy, weight loss, tagged belief, reality on January 15, 2008 | 3 Comments »
If you believe something to be true in your life, does that set up a system where it then becomes your reality? I think that in most cases this is true, at least it is for me in my life.
For example, I have come to believe that losing weight this time around is going [...]
Bikram Yoga Was Hot
Posted in balance, fitness, life, self-improvement, yoga, tagged Bikram yoga on January 12, 2008 | 8 Comments »
On Thursday, BFF and I went to the yoga studio for our first-ever Bikram yoga class. We were both a bit nervous about the “hot” aspect of it. Would the heat be too much for our system? Would we turn into sweaty pools on the floor? Would we make it through [...]
No more butts…soon
Posted in changes, excitement, fitness, friends, health, life, life list, new beginnings, self-improvement, tagged fear, hope, smoking cessation on January 9, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Yesterday BFF and I attended our first Freedom from Tobacco class through Kaiser. The class meets once a week for 7 weeks, an hour and a half each session.
I’ve been thinking a lot about quitting smoking, even though I really do love it. I know how gross it is, and how bad it is for [...]
Memorial Mass for My Uncle

Tonight my parents and I attended a memorial Mass that was said in honor of my uncle. My sister arranged for it, since today is his birthday. Unfortunately, she wasn’t able to come tonight because my niece just had her tonsils and adenoids out and is recuperating. Plus the weather isn’t conducive to traveling [...]

Instead of the same old “new year’s resolutions,” I decided that I’m going to make New ME Resolutions. This way, I’m making a commitment to myself. A vow if you will. A promise. And I’m a lot less likely to go back on a promise.
So, here are the New ME Resolutions I’m making to/for myself:

Got the January blahs? I’ve got just the thing for you…
Posted in blog, karma, life, tagged comments, contest, fun, pay it forward, rainy day on January 4, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Today we’re having our first major rainstorm of the year. And this isn’t just any little rainstorm. The winds are about 35-40 mph with heavy rains. I woke up at least 3 times last night because of the wind and the sound of tree branches falling all over the place. Wild, I tell you.
I love [...]
