One week ago today I went under the knife and had my knee replaced. There’s been little in the last seven days that has resembled what I thought of as normal life. As badly as my damaged knee hurt, prior to surgery I did walk virtually unassisted, only needing to lean on furniture for support [...]

The return of the bionic woman

I thought my first blog entry after having my knee replaced would be full of flowery prose, a missive in which I wax poetic about life and love, about facing pain and leaning on those who love you when you are in need. Instead let me say this about getting your leg halfway amputated and [...]

I’m about to shake (off) what my mama gave me. At the ripe young age of 48 (or as I like to call it 40-late) I am having my right knee replaced in a little more than a month. Add that to my tonsils, uterus and the meniscus of this right knee to the pile [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

Last week one of my favorite bloggers (and a beautiful and [...]
Desktop lunch reviews: Mystery

Lately I am becoming concerned about my short-term memory. It’s a daily struggle to recall all the things I am supposed to do and should keep track of, and the more that gets piled on the less I seem to be able to grasp of any of it. Today’s lunch is a prime example. I [...]

Sometimes you find a little hidden truth about yourself in an entirely unexpected way. I just spent part of my lunch hour cruising my Tumblr dashboard, like I do almost every day. Then I clicked on this link. This was written by a charming and talented young lady I met online via Twitter and in [...]

I made one New Year’s resolution: To drink more really fine wine in 2011 than I did in 2010. I like to set reasonable goals that I know I can achieve. Beyond that, I do have hopes. I hope I can stay committed to using this blog as a food/exercise/emotion journal. I hope that I [...]
