Today I stepped out of my comfort zone and went to the NC Art Museum to meet up with some folks I’d never met before. And I went by myself. This is huge! For me, anyways. I read The Friendly Atheist, and last week he mentioned a local meetup group of atheists, agnostics, freethinkers, and [...]

My aunt and cousin are staying with us for a few days, and this child is absolutely hilarious. My mom: I hurt. Me: If I had a head that looked that that, I’d hurt too! The 10 year old: But you do! BAZINGA! Yes, I got bazinga’d by a 10 year old.

Well I didn’t get the job. I was devastated for about a day…I’d been so sure I’d get it. Then I realized that I didn’t really want that job. I didn’t want to move to Charleston…and I would have had to move this weekend. I did, however, get accepted to grad school. I’ll start working [...]

Today was my weigh-in day. I was actually afraid all of my numbers had gone up because I’ve been out of town so much that I haven’t been to the gym very often. I was pleasantly surprised! Weight (pounds): the same (total lost: 2.5 pounds) Inches: -5 (total lost: 8 inches) Body fat: I don’t [...]

Yesterday was the end of my first month as a Curves member. As such, we did a check-in with my weight and measurements. I’m a little disappointed it’s not more, but at least the numbers are all DOWN and not up! Weight (pounds): -2.5 Inches: -3 Body fat: -0.1%

My body is changing. And I’m loving it. You see, I joined Curves a few weeks ago. Something inside of me changed and I’m totally committed to this. I’ve been going consistently and regularly – nearly everyday. And while the scale hasn’t reflected any changes yet, I can see parts of my body firming up. [...]

I have been seeking fulfillment in my life. That’s where my last post and the doubts/questions I had came from. Religion is my fulfillment fallback. I spent a couple of days languishing over the idea of returning to the church when it hit me – it was only when I was talking to someone who [...]

I was completely and totally thrown for a loop tonight. Thanks to facebook, I reconnected with my ex tonight. My first ex. The one I haven’t spoken to since the night he broke up with me 9 years ago. The one I never really understood why we broke up in the first place. Turns out, it [...]

I was settling in for a good night’s sleep when it occured to me: I have laryngitis. No, not literally. My vocal capabilities are as good as they’ve ever been. But I have lost my voice. When I started this blog nearly four years ago, it was because I had something to say. When I was [...]

This is by far the best Christmas season I’ve had in years. I’m loving being here with all of my family. It’s just… awesome. I haven’t had a Christmas tree, nor helped put one up, in several years. So this year, it was thrilling for me to put up not one, not two, but three [...]
