That’s right, I’m chucking it right out the window. All attempts at writing poignant and inspiring posts are about to cease. For the next 30 days, all my creative energies will be focused on my NaNoWriMo endeavor. I have 1667 words to write per day and I? Do not write on Sundays.
Questions regarding my sanity level can be addressed to my blog title. The question mark is starting to look a little bolder, don’t you think? Has a certain air[...]

Bye-bye 189.6, hallo 188.6!
It’s amazing what drinking a gallon of water in a day can do, eh?
And today, I’m spending my morning on a Before&After picture tour of my home. Oh yes. There will be pictures, my friends. What does that have to do with losing weight? Loads. Specifically, getting the load that is my bum out of this cushy office chair and moving about more. First water, then physical activity, oh the humanity!
I[...]
So I mentioned awhile back that my Granny recently remarried. At my house, by my husband, with about six days notice. Yup. We’re still recovering from that one. Still, it was more that worth it because her and her new husband John are incredibly happy. They’ve had no issues adjusting from single to married life because they just enjoy each other that much.
Pardon me a brief moment of envy. Opposites may attract as in[...]
It hit me this weekend. Hard. Painfully hard.
I’m fat.
I think that’s part of why I stay at home so much. Fewer mirrors and reflective surfaces. Fewer eyes to see the truth in. Fewer experiences, period. It’s easier to live in denial if you’re not doing much living, I guess. Also, if I don’t leave the house much, I don’t have to face up to just how few articles of clothing I own which[...]
I went grocery shopping yesterday. It was the sort of trip that started with the intention of grabbing a few staples; bread, milk, some fruit&veg…and ended with an overflowing cart full. Despite the fact we left for an overnight trip this afternoon. Nothing quite so brilliant as stuffing your fridge full of food right before you leave and aren’t able to eat any of it.
As always, my sense of timing in life is ultimately flawed.
Still, it was[...]
Everyone once in awhile I get a bit itchy, and the only way to scratch this particular itch is to change my blog template. Once upon a time, I did this several times a week. Eventually I got to the point where I was able to hold onto a given blog template for several months before the inevitable switch. And still, the compulsion for change remains. I’ve recently found a few template sites which have been[...]
I left the house this morning, showered and dressed (in blue jeans, of all things – with an orange shirt, gasp, the horror!), prettily coiffed, and sporting my funky glasses that I wear whenever vanity allows or when, as this morning, I get an eyelash caught under my contact lens.
I left the house without putting up a blog post for the day. Specifically, without having finished putting together all my favourite blog template resources to share with you as[...]
Given the response to my last post I think I’m lucky not to have been cyber-lynched. I knew I was taking a risk attacking the fundamental staple of Western Civilization’s fashion diet, and am terribly grateful that the shock and indignation this roused didn’t portray itself more…ahem…graphically.
All in all, I appreciate the reams of fashion advice, the handful of people who actually seem to have given me the laugh I was looking for, and I feel to apologize to[...]
I’m extraordinarly blessed that so many of my readers take the time to validate my time here and leave lovely encouraging comments. They don’t just validate though. They uplift, inspire, encourage, and sometimes bring me to the point of tears because of how heart warming you all are. You = Wonderful. Me = Sappy. Picture me here all red nosed clutching a mangled kleenex box and you won’t be far off.
For those who are curious,[...]
It’s a chill sort of morning and I am smiling. Smiling over having been allowed to sleep through the night. Over a smaller number on the scale than yesterday’s indulgences (lemon meringue pie – oh my) should have earned me. Over the sight of the valley I see from my windows here. Our valley, I think of it now. The evergreens and birches alike are flickered with frost, the thick bracken and dried out grasses[...]
