Little House on the Prairie the Musical

Well, my weigh in wasn’t pretty today, so we’ll gloss right over that.  It could always have been worse, of course.  But this has been an odd, odd week for me.  Lots going on & lots of stress.  Unfortunately, the rest of the week isn’t looking like it’s going to be that much more fun.  In fact, my supervisor surprised us with our yearly employee evaluations today.  Luckily it went well and my week-long bout of swine flu at the end of last year didn’t adversely affect it. I didn’t get much sleep all last week or over the weekend, but [ ... ]

Thoughts on Blogging and Obesity

Hi all.  As you’ve most likely noticed, I haven’t really been *present* in the blogging world lately, either on my own blog or others.  I’ve had this blog post rambling around in my brain for a while now, so bear with me while I try to work it all out.  I will share my thoughts regarding my own blog and then my thoughts regarding others’ blogs.  I’m going to try to be totally honest (well, I’m not going to lie, I just might not share everything I’ve been thinking). Thoughts regarding my own blog: When I first started this blog in January [ ... ]

“Getting to Know You” Round 2

Hi all!  Since I’m currently at a loss for something to blog about (or the things I can think of blogging about, I just don’t feel like blogging about right now), I thought I’d try another installment of “Getting to Know You.”  Hope you enjoy and I can’t wait to read your answers if you feel like answering! Do you have a favorite TV Show that is no longer on TV? Did you go, or are you currently going, to college? If so, what did you study? What are your favorite non-blogging websites? What is your favorite color? Do you have a favorite childhood [ ... ]

Fun Stuff (and the WP-Table Reloaded Plugin)

Hi again, guys!  As you all know, I dearly love movies and books and all other such things.  You’ve also probably figured out that I tend to get really excited about things that I enjoy – even a bit giddy.  I have also over the years collected quote upon quote upon quote – the location of which I’m not exactly sure of.  They’re scattered in journals, notebooks, post-its, and the like from my bedroom to the living room to the kitchen to my storage unit. For a while I’ve been wanting a central location for such things that I love, because [ ... ]

Funky 5 Meme

Early (Miss E) from This Time… recently tagged me in the Funky 5 Meme.  Thank you and here goes!  And she’s totally awesome by the way, so go check out her blog! My Funky 5 Where were you 5 years ago? Hmm…..on this exact date, June 23, 2005, I was probably exactly where I am right now.  Sitting at work – at the same desk.  Wow, that’s depressing.  I think I was at my heaviest weight then as it was about a year before I started Weight Watchers.  I’m pretty sure that was the year when my parents and I took [ ... ]

Even a half-assed try is better than no try at all

Hi all! I think this post might be fairly short, because I’m pretty much running on fumes right now.  I’ve had very little sleep since the end of last week.  While some circumstances helped make that happen, a lot of it is my own fault (and the damn show, “Supernatural“).  I’m also attempting to get my dad sucked into the show “Angel,” and he and I have been watching a few episodes when I got off work the past few nights.  Which pushes back my “Supernatural” watching, and since I just can’t wait to see what happens, that [ ... ]

At least I didn’t kill any baby bunnies, right?

On that note, HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to all of the great dads out there!! So….the bunnies.  Last week, my mom mowed the backyard.  When she was done, she told me about all of the little baby bunnies she saw running around the yard.  She then noticed that there was a little section of grass that had some cotton poking out of it.  When she went over to investigate, and pulled back the grass, there was a nest of baby bunnies inside.  Of course, I had horrible images of what would have happened if I had been the one mowing-horrible images seeing [ ... ]

Misbehaving and Bargaining

Score!  The upgrade to WordPress 3.0 fixed the glitch in my blog that’s been driving me bonkers for the last six months at least.  Creating new posts won’t be such a pain in the ass from now on.  WHOOHOO!  So hold on tight, this is going to be a long one folks, and will probably veer all over the place.  LOL I mentioned yesterday that this week has been better, but still kind of on the so-so front food-wise.  I counted points several of the days, but still went over by more than I would like and didn’t count yesterday.  I [ ... ]

Chely Wright

Hi all!  Before I get to Chely Wright, I’m going to get some business/miscellaneous stuff out of the way.  I upgraded to WordPress 3.0 last night, so let me know if you run into any glitches or if something isn’t working right for you.  So far, everything seems to be working okay as far as I can tell (well, as okay as it ever worked, anyway).  I think it might have also fixed the glitch I was having with making new blog posts/pages.  I was hoping!  Keep your fingers crossed! Second, thanks for the support on my last post!  I’m hanging [ ... ]

Trying to Find My Way

Hi all! I hope everyone is doing well! See, the problem with going so long in between blog posts is that when you finally get around to sitting down and writing something, you have about five trillion things going through your head that you need/want to say. Unfortunately, I’m not going to get to very many of them tonight. But I did want to pop in and say hi and let you know I’m still alive.  I’ve been in somewhat of a deep dark nesting hole lately filled up with lots of reading and watching of my most recent obsession (the tv show [ ... ]

“Monday Came” by J.R. Richards (Music from “Lbs.” the Movie)

Hi everyone!  I have a “Lbs.” update! I know you all have been in withdrawal! I personally think this is a fun one, though. When I saw the theatrical version of the film when I was in DC at the beginning of May, the song that was playing over the credits caught my attention.  I really liked what I had heard of it (which actually wasn’t much since they muted it to start the Q&A – not that I’m complaining or anything). I’ve been trying to find out what the song was (all I could remember hearing was the [ ... ]

Memorial Day Weekend

Hi all!  I hope all of my American friends had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend, and I hope all of my international friends had a wonderful weekend, too!  As you can see, I’m still quite alive (thank you for checking on me, Rebecca!).  Unfortunately, I was up 0.5 lbs today at weigh in, but considering the way I ate over the weekend, it’s really nothing short of miraculous that it wasn’t more than that! My weekend was wonderful in the mere fact that I didn’t have to work yesterday (Monday).  Friday night at work was one god-awful mess that I won’t [ ... ]

In Response To Her Majesty’s Comment

LOL I love you, Shawna, but this is most likely the only time it’s ever gonna happen! Note:  This is in response to Shawna’s comment on my most recent “Pop Poll.”
