Ever since I started my weight loss blog, I’ve been writing much less frequently on this one. Because weight loss is my main focus (almost like a part-time job), it makes sense that I have more to write about that topic than any other. Still, sometimes I feel badly that this blog, the one I [...]

Shocked and Saddened – R.I.P. MJ
Posted in death, gratitude, happiness, heartbreak, inspiration, journey, life, music, thankful, tagged Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson's death, sad, shock on June 26, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I was shocked yesterday when I got the NY Times news alert on my iPhone that Michael Jackson had died of a cardiac arrest at the age of 50. 50! That’s so young, and he seemed to be healthy, at least physically.
Within the last decade of his life, Michael Jackson became a controversial figure. A [...]
A Perfect Summer Day!

Today was the perfect summer day!
The weather was 85 degrees – warm, but not too hot. Earlier in the week the weather was really overcast, cloudy, and sort of cold. Not conducive to feeling like you’re on summer vacation.
I started the morning with a WW meeting. It had been more than a month since I’d [...]
2nd Time’s the Charm?
Posted in life, tagged smoking cessation on June 17, 2009 | 4 Comments »
I’ve decided that I’m going to quit smoking.
Notice that I didn’t say I’m going to TRY to quit smoking. Because trying isn’t doing, and this time, I’m doing it. I have set my “quit date” for July 3rd, the day after my birthday. Because who wants to be cranky on her birthday, right?
Not that I’ll [...]

Lately, I’ve been hearing that question a lot. This is the first summer where I haven’t signed up to work, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m looking forward to actually getting one of the full benefits of teaching – an entire 2-month period of time off.
My mom in particular is worried that I’ll get bored. [...]
Book Review – I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti
Posted in Italian, books, cooking, dating, life, life list, life's adventures, reading, review, writing, tagged Giulia Melucci, I Lost, I Loved, I Made Spaghetti on June 16, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I just finished one of the best books I have read in a long time. It’s called I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti by Giulia Melucci. I could relate to everything in this book – the bad dates/relationships, the love of cooking, the Italian-American (half Sicilian, mind you) culture – all of it.
The [...]
Enjoy the Ride

AM sent this to me last week, and I just got a chance to view it today. Overall, I love the message that it promotes. It’s a good reminder that I have so much to be thankful for and I should treat each day as if it were a special occasion (sometimes hard to do).
The [...]
