I need to change things up. I’ve lost my workout mojo over the past few months due to the cold weather, early darkness, traveling, moving, illness, and a bit of apathy thrown in as well. I tried to give myself some inspiration by signing up for a two mile open water swim in May as
Algebra, Schmalgebra
I’ve never been much of a “math” person. I’m a liberal arts, history loving, book reading kind of gal and math was always my least favorite subject in school. Pre-algebra and algebra classes turned my apathy over math into active loathing and probably scarred me for life. I’ve long felt a little embarrassed at how
Jessie’s January Jeers and Cheers
Over the past month or so I’ve been keeping a mental list of things to mention on this blog. These things are small and need no more then a word or two about why they are awesome or suck. Here is that list. 1. JEERS to the U.S. Postal Service. When you are running a
Fresh Start
Have you ever done a cleanse? I haven’t but coming off of the holidays I can see the appeal. I came across this cleanse on Dr. Oz’s website and it sounds DELICIOUS which is not what I think of when it comes to detox. Truthfully, I don’t know anything about “cleanses” and “detoxing” but I
2013: Small Easy Pieces
I tend to get overwhelmed when I try to make resolutions. It starts off all fun, everyone’s in a circle grasping champagne and trading ideas for how this year will KICK SO MUCH ASS. Then it’s your turn for resolution naming, but you can’t say yours aloud. That would take way too long. All you
2013: Reinvigorated and Resolving
In the days before New Years Eve I was so disenchanted with the whole resolution thing. I think I feel the way many people do- each year I resolve to do something, most of the time it is to get in shape or eat healthier, and every year I forget what a resolution is around February.
A Whole New Year!
Holy crap. That Christmas season just FLEW by, didn’t it? One minute I’m doing Christmas crafts in mid December, and the next I’m trying to play “What are you doing New Years?” on the piano. Long story short, stuff got busy and the ladies of Gen*HER got all wrapped up in it. While we were
I thought acne was for teens?
Maybe time has altered my memories but I swear that in some grade school health class where changes to our soon to be adolescent bodies were discussed, acne was presented as something that came along with being a teenager. No one mentioned that acne can be for life. Through experience, I now know that acne
Shine On
With T-day just a few days away I’m beyond excited for this holiday season. Normally I dread Christmas and its commercialism which even offends a consumer such as myself. However, our Little Man has warded the Grinchiness away and I am excited to share Christmas lights and holiday meals with him. In my excitement for
House obsession!
I’ve been obsessing about home furnishings/decor since I decided to buy a new house. Maybe you are too for various reasons. Restoration Hardware is having a Friends and Family 20% off sale this weekend. Let me know if you buy any cool stuff!
