My husband loves me a lot. I know that and he really doesn’t have to do anything to prove it. But sometimes he does anyway and it’s awesome. [...]

A small respite of fresh air

No desktop lunch review today. I did bring a frozen something to work, but I need to get out of the office for a while. Sometimes working through lunch is helpful, because other than taking 10 minutes to write these entries, I stay productive at my desk. But sometimes I need to escape, breathe a [...]

This poor blog fell into the hands of some nasty folks who, and I am just venturing a guess here, couldn’t give two shits about my weight loss efforts. Anyway, the wonderful Mommy Geek saved my ass. If you ever need blog work done, run to her. She’s awesome. It was rather ironic that I [...]

Dear Diary: Well, today really blew chunks. We got skunked again. Third time this year. Two dogs outside just after midnight and some stink rodent cuts a huge one all over the dogs, all over our house, all over my life. Spent the night in the family room with the dogs to contain the stench [...]
