Lessons…
February 27, 2009 | Comments Off
This week has been a really stressful week. Wednesday I e-mailed the chair of the department to tell her I wasn’t returning and might not be staying and then I let the word spread through the the rest of the department – PhD students mostly – and a couple of other faculty know. How am [...]

Let’s look at Pros and Cons today.
Pros:
Volunteered at the El Paso Komen Race for the Cure 5K. Worked at the finish line so I got to see a lot of people. It was so emotional! All these young survivors – some pushing strollers or carrying babies on their backs or against their tummies – and [...]

So Here We Are…

I fell behind a bit. That’s what happens when you’re hacking up a lung feeling a bit under the weather. Plus, I am kind of wondering where my six loyal readers have gone. I entice you with prizes that you don’t enter to win. You perplex me. Should we read a book? Should we pick [...]

Our Optimist…
February 14, 2009 | Comments Off
The winner of the Optimism giveaway is commenter number 1. Michelle! Good luck house training your puppy and look in your e-mail for my request for a shipping address. None of my “regular readers” commented which is weird but maybe Michelle’s a long-time lurker?
Many thanks to all my readers and stay tuned for a new [...]

ISTJ – “Trustee”. Decisiveness in practical affairs. Guardian of time- honored institutions. Dependable. 11.6% of total population.

I’ve learned that I am insane. By insane I mean that I really like it if I am awake and facing the day at 4:00 in the morning. It gives me time to do some yoga, write a blog and really just organize my day a little better. In short, I get to face the [...]

Smell Pretty! Feel Happy!
February 9, 2009 | 4 Comments
I decided to start my week with my first ever bloggy goodness giveaway! After Saturday’s post about Optimism, I decided that one of my six readers deserves some Optimism from me. My attitude is hopefully not contagious but I am smelling pretty and would like you to too! So leave a comment on this post [...]

TMI and Random stuff…
February 8, 2009 | Comments Off
TMI: Every morning I play a game of Yahtzee in the bathroom while I wait for the shower to heat up. I don’t know why but it takes quite awhile for the warm water to make it from the other end of the house to my shower. It’s as if it hibernates for the evening [...]

Today’s blog is a product review and a philosophy lesson. A two-fer!
First off, I am loving greatly the new line of aromatherapy stuff from Bath and Body Works. A few weeks ago I went into the local shopping center for a haircut and, since I was on my time, I wandered down to the local [...]
