What Doesn't Kill Us Makes Us Stronger
Six months ago today I was admitted to the hospital. Up until then I was healthy; seldom got a cold, hadn't had the flu in at least six years and then on January 20th I was suddenly not healthy.
January 17th I started I started my new position; I was… Read full post »
The Incredibly Shrinking Date
Shit, has it really been a month since I posted? Damn. Anyway.
About two weeks ago, I decided to join an online dating site. I mean, why not? On my second day of membership I got an email from Michael, 41. HELLO Michael, 41!! Rowr!! He was studly, fit (read: BUFF), seemed… Read full post »
This post will be EPIC
I was perusing online news on my lunch break today when the following title caught my eye: "'Social Network is epic and intimate at once". What the fuck? Another WTF moment came when the author stated the director and write of the movie came together to create an epic tale. Are… Read full post »
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
I picked up TGWTDT (hi, I'm too lazy to type out the full title) from the library yesterday. If this book doesn't live up to all the glorious hype I've been hearing for the past year plus, I'll be pissed. The last time I read a hyped up book, I wanted… Read full post »
Evolution, Schmevolution. Also, Katy Perry Has Big Boobs
I'm watching yesterday's The View and the topic of evolution came up in their hot topics segment (via a 12 year old clip of Christine O'Donnell on Politically Incorrect) and Sherri Shepherd has reminded everyone that she does not believe in evolution. Why do I torture myself by watching this da… Read full post »
13.1 Not Quite Done
Today was the 1.2 marathon I'd been dreading. Last week I blogged about the demons that I was battling that were affecting my self confidence and mental readiness to complete this 1/2 marathon. Today I was hoping I would blog about how I kicked ass and defeated 13.1 miles. Unfortuna… Read full post »
The Oprah Effect (or how Oprah gets you to pee your pants)
I'm currently watching the season premiere of Oprah's last season (I know, I'm a little behind on my TV watching). And I'm trying to figure out what magical powers Oprah possesses to make people go batshit crazy. As soon as she walked out onto the stage, the audience leapt to their… Read full post »
13.1
16 weeks ago I signed up to do a 1/2 marathon. 16 weeks later and 10 days to go until my first (and last?!?!?!) 1/2 marathon, I'm still trying to figure out WHY the hell I signed up for it. Shit....10 days.....I'm officially freaking the fuck out!
I don't like to… Read full post »
31 Going on......14????
FedEx is taking it's sweet time delivering "Mockingjay" to my local Borders. I knew I should have bought it outright instead of getting sucked into their "$8.99!!!" special on their website. What's that? You don't know what "Mockingjay" is? It's the final book in the super popular "Hunger… Read full post »
Testing the Waters.....
potpourri [poh-poo-ree]: any mixture, esp. of unrelated objects, subjects, etc.
Well....here goes nothing. I've been contemplating starting a blog for several months now and I finally decided to grab the bull by the horns and go for it. I used to blog through MySpace (feel free… Read full post »
