So, this post is long overdue. A handful of you know the full story already, and a few more have gotten the generic abstract, but I felt I owed an explanation to the rest of the lot. Actually, scratch that – I’m writing this post because I’m pretty darn excited and happy about what transpired [...]

brief fitness note
I am quite pleased to say I traversed 9.2 miles last night on the elliptical trainer, then weighed in at an all-time low (since middle school, at least) of 193.5 pounds. This morning, I put on a size-12 skirt (formerly size 14) and strode (no more teetering on weak legs) off to work in cute [...]

nerd land – population: ?
I’m pretty sure my job is one of the greatest jobs a person could have. I’ve said this at least a dozen times now. But, seriously, even just from a dinking-with-social-media perspective, it rocks.
I started talking to someone recently who does a similar job, or at the very least can throw around acronyms like SEO, [...]

personal safety
It should not be the norm to be constantly concerned about one’s personal safety. To breathe a sigh of relief because you made it through the night without a break-in or got to work in one piece. And, looking at my neighborhood, you wouldn’t think any of that. But Memphis just has this vibe. And [...]

extra point
While in the shower just now, I figured out why this issue of romantic love is so burdensome. It was common knowledge to everyone else, I’m sure, but sometimes I’m slow on the uptake.
Loving friends and family is easy because (usually) you don’t have to stop loving one to love another. You don’t have to [...]

sometimes the list gets in the way
Oh, dual-meaning subject lines. I love you.
First, a quick life recap for this week: Dumped by church singles group, speed-dating make-up canceled due to disappearing coordinator, made a date that involves a four-hour drive to Alabama next weekend, spent entirely too much time talking and laughing on the phone, got -5 hours of sleep, felt [...]

musical intent
I am now keeping a list of topics that pop into my head for future entries. Just so you know this isn’t all one big, unplanned mental concoction day after day. Or maybe it is. Either way, I’m making a list!
And while the original intent of this post was to combine two short topics into [...]

before I delve in
A few things that make me smile:
Good conversation
Laughing so hard I can’t breathe
Glancing at the clock when it’s 8:26
Being reminded that good people exist in the world
Making a new friend
Seeing a glimmer of something new and exciting on the horizon
Snuggling up under a fleece blanket on a chilly day
Thinking endless possibilities remain for the future
Cute [...]

small goals
Not really New Year’s Resolutions, but small goals for the coming months:
Toning up my ass – probably via lunges. I’ve never been much into squats, but I’m sure I should learn how to do them properly. That’s where most of the beefy guys hang out at the gym though…
Lengthening my torso – no, not like [...]

slow death
My TV has entered Stage 3 of its death cycle: total black and white, constant fuzz noise (though no fuzz in the picture, oddly enough). It may be time to have him sign the do-not-resuscitate forms…
Also, I went to Panera tonight! Same prices as in Michigan! But the portion size seemed smaller, at least on [...]
