I think I am a pretty normal/average grocery shopper. I tend to spend a bit too much on food, I buy meat, I don’t always buy organic, I buy cookies/popsicles/treats sometimes. That all sounds normal, right? Things have been slowly changing over the past however many years and i have been enjoying reading about nutrition [...]
I stopped shampooing my hair. It’s a little shocking since I am a fancy salon shampoo sort of person and can’t stand using cheap shampoo. The idea of spending 100+ dollars on expensive shampoo every few months had started to pall and grate on me. Not only is it a pointless expense but I hate [...]
My little house gnome is growing up *sniff* Originally uploaded by Minnibird So I signed up for that fitness class with Jack in a gymnastics class at the same time. Last week it did not work out and Jack cried when I tried to go to my class. But this week! It worked!! I was [...]
I love it when health care professionals give you impossible to follow instructions about how to live your daily life in order to be healthy and/or uninjured. I just want to poke them in the eye. And I want to drop my squirmy 27 pound kid off on their doorstep. About 20 minutes after my [...]
I’m so busy that somehow I am not sure I am getting anything done?!! UGH! Today I have dentist appointment, I swear I have that guilty schoolgirl feeling that I’ll be scolded for my obvious disregard for dental hygiene. Plus, it’s a new dentist and I have to bring Mr. Pants with me. I loved [...]
The word crotch is right up there with the word moist for annoyingness. Vim likes to annoy me by mispronouncing it “cratch”. I find it unfunny, although I do find it funny to pretend you don’t know how to pronounce words like quesadilla. The sandy crotch problem is better in adulthood than it was as [...]
Once realized that trichotillomania was a real thing I was convinced that I have it. Have always had it. It is pronounced trick-o-till-o-mania and is the inability to resist the impulse to pull out your hair. I’ve always been a fidgeter and the hair thing started when I was a teenager. I obsessively plucked my [...]
It is hot here, too hot. All I can contemplate is how I can suspend my body in such a way that nothing is touching me anywhere. Levitation is needed. Why does no one here have air conditioning? I am PMSing so the hot plus the hormones is making my skin hella oily and gross. [...]
I keep forgetting to write about my workout attempts. I complete the 6 weeks of morning boot camp. After which I noticed no appreciable changes except that the workouts weren’t totally killing me anymore and that was enough for me to start with. I can dash up several flights of stairs with no problem and [...]
I just went grocery shopping hungry. Always a shifty sort of thing to do as it could go well or it could end up in a free for all in which you get home with 40 pounds of meat and some peanut butter. Usually I want to go to the new whole fuds near my [...]
I’m so sorry I don’t feel comfortable in you. You were a stranger for 9 months, doing good work mind you, but still an unpredictable stranger. And now clothes don’t fit you, you move differently, you look different and you feel slow and heavy and weak. I feel guilty for not loving you right now [...]
