Being Sick Sucks

I’ve been noticing some (seeming) breathing challenges the past week or so.  You know the kind, where it feels like you’re back in middle school in Jersey (pick any cold location here) in the dead of winter having to run outside for PE.  My chest has been feeling like that these past couple days. Just [...]

Here Kitty Kitty

We stopped by the grocery store earlier tonight and of course we had to visit the pet shop. They moved their kitties and they were in rare form. And it got me thinking…is there anything sweeter and more fun to watch than kittens playing, sleeping and well, just being kittens? Two cute adorable kittens [...]

Weird Fashion Related Mistakes

I never said I was a fashion plate.  In fact, I blogged about being fashionably challenged some time over the summer.  While I have gotten a bit more fashionable since I started teaching again – I mean, considering I can’t teach in yoga pants and sweats – I’ve still got a lot to learn. The other [...]

Post-Halloween Life Lesson

Here’s what I notice… When you don’t eat regular, American chocolate for a while and then eat it…it tastes like shit compared to European chocolate. BUT… If you keep eating those Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups you’ll eventually start to swear they’re the best thing ever created. Why is that? PS – did you know that they actually make a perfume [...]

NaBloPoMo: What Was I Thinking???

I’ll admit it, I’m not thinking clearly. Once again I’ve decided to participate in NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month).  Basically, I commit to blog daily for the full month.  This should be interesting since I’ve noticed that when I’m teaching, I can’t seem to find the time to post.  So this year, more than with [...]

Working On This Green Thing

On the one hand, I’m totally on the bandwagon and have been for years.  I was raised recycling and making our own household products.  I’ve been refusing bags or bringing my own bags places long before it was all sorts of trendy and cool (I love my mini-Rume bag and keep one in my purse [...]

When Did I Become an Adult?

When did I stop thinking only about myself and start putting others at the top of my list?  When did I decide it was perfectly fine to go without a haircut so that the dog, yes, the DOG could get his haircut?  When did I decide that shoes should indeed be comfortable? And more importantly, when [...]

Back to School, Back to Beauty: The Brows

I have a love hate relationship with my eyebrows.  I love their natural arch and just how little needs to actually get done to groom them. On the flip side, since I can no longer get them waxed (a side effect of Retin A) that leaves me with tweezing myself or getting them threaded. According [...]

It’s Official, It’s Been a Helluva Week

I was trying to recall just why it is I didn’t seem to get around to posting in any of my blogs. I managed to start a couple of posts in each, but never got around to finishing them. Then I remembered the week – keep in mind, in between all this, I was working on [...]

Best Laid Plans and All That

So here I was Friday, posting about how important it is to remember to put ourselves first and focus on some self-care.  Would you believe that I never actually got around to any of that? See, I wrote that post on Thursday so I could be free to run all my pre-out of town errands on [...]
