Taking a Writing Class

March 18, 2012

Well, it’s Sunday night and I’m working on … homework. Yep, it’s for another writing class I’m taking this month from Laurie Schnebly Campbell. It’s an online class, where we participate through Yahoo groups. We read the lecture and do our “homework” within a pretty wide window — at least 36 hours — so it’s very [...]

Sunday Morning Weigh-In: March 18

March 18, 2012

Well, not so good this week. I’m up two pounds already! But honestly, it’s what I expected. I was doing a lot of big-dinner-cooking at home this week, and I knew I was slipping into comfort foods. For some reason, bread was sounding really good to me all week, so I was falling into my [...]

More Debbie D. Tables — Christmas Brunch

March 16, 2012

Since I was talking about Debbie D’s beautiful tables the other day, I thought I’d find a couple more. (Unfortunately, at her events, I always seem to be without my camera, or without my SD card, or without a workable battery … sheesh. So I asked some other book club friends if they had any [...]

Carpet Success!

March 14, 2012

Well, my giddiness about the upcoming new carpet wasn’t undeserved. … I LOVE IT. Worth every month and year of the wait. We still have lots of boxes to put away in the master bedroom and Rene’s room, so I didn’t want to snap pics there yet. (Plus I’m without my regular camera — gah! [...]

March 12, 2012

Well, I’m ridiculously excited to be getting new carpet in all our upstairs bedrooms today. I’ve been wanting (but postponing) getting new carpet upstairs for YEARS. (Years, I tells ya.) Partly, I think, I postponed because it always seemed like an awful lot of work on our end. We’ve been in this house for 15 years, [...]

Sunday Morning Weigh-In

March 4, 2012

Whoo-hoo! Down another 3 pounds in 2 weeks! I’ve now lost 8 pounds since Christmas (8 of the 10 I ultimately need to lose to get back to my pre-holiday starting point … which was already about 30 pounds over my normal weight … ugh!!!). But I’m focusing on the positive right now. So I’m just [...]

Davy Jones and Teen Idols

March 1, 2012

So yesterday at work, the managing editor called to ask me to put something on social media about the death of “The Monkees” frontman Davy Jones, and she led in with, “Do you know who Davy Jones is?” I think she was trying to gauge whether I was the right age to know who he [...]

Not-So-Rapid Weight Loss

February 9, 2012

So I’ve managed to lose about a half a pound per week since Christmas. … Gah! Only ONE-HALF pound. PER WEEK. But I guess it’s still better than the scale going in the other direction. … Onward.
