The battle against the pudge wages on

Much to my surprise and delight, my dear friend Giara has rejoined the blogosphere and started back up over at Fatty vs. Food. I could not be happier and trust me, there’s going to be quite a bit of blogging from her as she’s got a new challenge. We also have been discussing a podcast [...]

Diabetus

I recently went to the doctor because a check up was due and much to my surprise, she let me know that I’ve lost over 30 pounds since I last saw her. Let’s do the math. I last saw my doctor over 6 months ago. 30 pounds divided by 6 months…is 5 pounds a month! [...]

Gym anxiety

As many people do this time of year, I joined a gym. Well, I actually joined my local community center so it’s more than a gym. It’s a gym/waterslide/pool/sauna/hot tub/walking track and everything you could possibly think of to distract you from the fact you’re exercising. As many people do this time of year, I [...]

Are you happy?

are you happy

I actually stole the picture from Jen over at Booty and Brains, who by the way, is just about as cute as you can get. If you don’t read her blog, um….why? It’s great and you should. Anyways, back to the topic at hand. Are you happy? Truly happy? If you’re not, why? I’ll wait [...]

Resolutions

I know this it the time of year that people make resolutions and to be honest with you, I never keep mine. I did decide last year that I was going to do some things and I’m pretty proud to say my small list of stuff to do, I did accomplish. I resolved to read [...]

Wookin por nub

Since it is almost the end of the year and I’m having a feeling 2012 is going to be an interesting year for myself, I figured I’d give the ole online dating another try. Dating in general is a pain in the ass. I hate dating. I’m not a good relationship person anyways because honestly, [...]

It’s about love.

I was reading the very powerful posts from Dan Pearce over at Single Dad Laughing titled “I’m Christian, unless you’re gay.” and I have to admit that it struck several cords in me and my own life. I actually wrote about this topic a few days ago and you can read that blog post here [...]

I am participating in NaNoWriMo 2011

Neutral2_180_180_white

I’ve decided to put a huge benchmark on my 2011 year and accomplish a goal I’ve always aspired to do. As a lover of books and writing, when I heard about National Novel Writing Month way back in 2004, I had to join. Every year I join and every year, I either quit early or [...]

Losing 10% of me

new-life

After much hemming and hawing, I’ve gotten tired of myself. Those moments when you just stare in the mirror and look at your reflection, thinking “You are not supposed to be like this.” That’s the tired I feel. I’m not at the moment where I just give it all up and call it a day. [...]

Finding Great Grandpa

I’m a genealogy junky. Maybe it has something to do with my past as a child that I am fascinated by history. I didn’t have living grandparents while I was growing up and actually, I had a couple of uncles that died just a few months before I was born. So those projects in class [...]
