You know how you hit that point of the work day when it’s pointless for you to even be sitting at your desk because you’ve got the attention span of a gnat on crack, and all you can think about is chocolate, alcohol, or your Friday night plans? (Possibly all of the above. At ONCE!) […]

Busy Busy!
Sorry so quiet. We’re still getting this grant out the door and I’ve just found out I may have to pinch hit and take over a class for a colleague who’s having to go out on medical leave for the rest of the semester. Busy busy! Meanwhile, this video makes me want to high 5 […]
Random Thoughts On Yoga
Since the start of the year, I’ve gotten back into yoga. I have the New U Yoga and Pilates game for Wii, which I played through and had great success with several years ago. I’ve certainly done yoga long enough (since college), that I’m quite capable of practicing without a game or instruction, but […]
Three Awesome Things
Because I am in need of some awesome the last couple of weeks, I felt compelled to list three random, awesome things (in no particular order): Superfeet insoles. I first got introduced to these when I got back into running last year and I cannot express how much of a difference they made. I recently […]

In my case, this would be Lauralynn. 2.Create eleven new questions to ask eleven new participants. 3.Share links to those eleven people in your blog and let them know you’ve tagged them. […]
Bedtime Stories
So yesterday in the WIP I was writing a bedtime story. The heroine has been through a trauma and asks the hero to tell her a story like he did when they were little. It’s more to show something about their relationship and long history than about the story, but I got carried away. I […]
Writing, Capri Pants, and Houses, Oh My
Well after yesterday’s sucky all day migraine, I wound up churning out 1623 words during sprints with Claire, who, incidentally, also finished her EPIC BATTLE SCENE that concludes ACT I. We are both rock stars and have earned a synchronized viewing of Serendipity, with large bowls of popcorn, at our earliest convenience. There will probably […]
A Jeans Rant
To the jeans manufacturers directly responsible for EVERYBODY in Walmart, Kroger, and our Asian market knowing that I was wearing blue undies with BUTTERFLIES this morning…YOU SUCK. To everyone who let me walk around all morning WITHOUT telling me that I had a GAPING HOLE in the butt of my jeans…YOU ALSO SUCK. If my […]
Order Out of Chaos
I have actually been trying to get this blog post written since 8:30 this morning. :checks clock: You see how well that’s going. Juggling work, meetings, internet outages. I’m finally sitting down with a much needed cuppa tea. It’s a much needed boost to get through the snooze that is the afternoon here. I’ve been […]
Productive Exhaustion
I sat down. I really probably shouldn’t have done that because I’m almost positive there’s no way I’m getting up again. Not for a while anyway. I am exhausted. I woke up at 8:30 this morning, determined to take advantage of the quiet and make up for not writing for the last 2 days. I […]
