Looking Good

Posted on February 26, 2009
Guess the two water aerobics classes are doing the trick. I had one Vice President at my company, two random male colleagues and four females at my company tell me I looked pretty today (actually the VP said, “You look beautiful today, [PT-LawMom]...

Awkward

Posted on February 25, 2009
So it may be hard to understand but Chapin and I have pretty much settled into a cordial relationship where we talk when we have to (usually about Pumpkinhead or the house/taxes/misc. leftover joint stuff) and otherwise we don’t talk. I’m kind to him; he’s kind to me and neither of us badmouth the [...

T Will Be So Proud

Posted on February 23, 2009
My friend, T, has been encouraging me to see a naturopath for a while now. Her and my friend, Rachel. And my former massage therapist, Lizabeth. Okay, fine, I’m stubborn. Well tonight I got over myself and went to see a doctor recommended by my current massage therapist...

Self-Loving

Posted on February 23, 2009
This is not another post about my vibrator. Okay, you can stop sighing in relief. Nope, this post is about self-image. I’m such a weirdo when it comes to that. You know what’s strange? I don’t have an issue with my looks. Lose 100lbs and then watch [...

What I Love About Sundays

Posted on February 22, 2009
Have I mentioned lately that I adore my little Snugglebug? We’re off to his Dad’s apartment to drop off some stuff (and because Chapin hasn’t picked up Pumpkinhead at all this week so I’m giving them at least 10 minutes for a hug, for Pete’s sake!!) Then we’re going to go pick up [...

Good Gut

Posted on February 22, 2009
So my gut may be sliced and diced but it sure does give me strong signals. Insecurity aside, I do tend to listen to my gut instincts. When I don’t, I usually regret it. An example of a good gut instinct is currently splashed across the front pages of most major newspapers [...

Wasn?t Whole to Start With

Posted on February 22, 2009
Several of you have asked what happened on my “romantic” weekend away with Blue Eyes. Long story short, Valentines weekend started off badly and got worse from there, complete with his bitching over having to purchase a $12 bouquet of flowers (Good God, the expense!) and an unsigned card because the Hallmark contents “said [...

Sunday Stealing: Stolen Sex Meme

Posted on February 22, 2009
Sunday Stealing: The Stolen Sex Meme In honor of my recent breakup with Blue Eyes, I though this week’s Sunday Stealing meme was especially appropriate. May as well remember what I liked about sex while it’s somewhat fresh in my mind. 1...

Busy, busy

Posted on February 20, 2009
This has been an insanely busy week! I’ve had back-to-back meetings and been working from home each night and I still have so much to do I’m not sure when it will end. But I love it. I feel bad, though, because one girl kept coming in to ask [...

Making Goals

Posted on February 19, 2009
So this self-esteem book has a whole section on planning to achieve your goals, whether they are very short-term goals at work, at home, etc., or longer-term ones in life. What I liked is that it tacked the stumbling blocks to achieving the goals and offered suggestions for overcoming them...

Insecurity

Posted on February 18, 2009
I’ve come to kind of a crossroads with my parents, with work, etc. For a long time I have felt like, hey, I’m in my 20s and still learning. I have an excuse for why I don’t know everything or can’t do it all or whatever. But that’s less true now and [...

How Many Times?

Posted on February 18, 2009
When I got divorced, I remember my ex-husband saying “If you’d only told me. If I only knew. Why didn’t you just tell me I was making you feel this way. I could have changed. Heck, I can change.” Well I remember telling him...

The cutest kid

Posted on February 17, 2009
Pumpkinhead has discovered e-mail. My mother set him up with a Gmail account and it’s his newest obsession. He checks it every morning to see if one of us has e-mailed him (thank goodness we also have my cousins, aunts and uncles on alert to help out)...

A Bit More Good News

Posted on February 16, 2009
I had some more good news this weekend that has taken some of the pressure off. My tenants called Saturday morning to say that they want to extend their lease through the end of April. We negotiated and they also agreed to let me start showing the house in mid-March (their original lease [...

Life Changes and a To Do List

Posted on February 16, 2009
Making some life changes right now. Feeling better physically, getting there emotionally, etc., and feel like I need to think about what I want to do with the rest of this year. I know, life throws curves (hell, I know that as much as anyone) but, hey, Carpe Diem! First off, as [...

Because I?m Worth It

Posted on February 15, 2009
This weekend I received a comment for approval from a child of divorce on my post, Seeing the Other Side. His words really impacted me (for good) and I realized that, now more than ever, my own self-esteem and self-worth in choosing a partner and in standing up to my ex about his behavior [...

Follow Your Bliss

Posted on February 13, 2009
I was feeling a little unsettled this morning. I can’t explain it but I was compelled to pick up my daily meditations book (thank you, Max Lucado). And, man, was it perfect. This hit me on so many levels. Made me think of LagLiv embracing a jump to a different practice [...

Getting Away From it All

Posted on February 12, 2009
My sweet Blue Eyes is taking me away for the weekend to his brother’s vacation house on a nearby lake. We’re going to enjoy his brother’s new boat (it’s supposed to be in the 70s all weekend), play board games with his brother and future sister-in-law, his parents and his daughter, and enjoy ourselves...

Where I was when?

Posted on February 12, 2009
Stolen from LS Part-Timer, who stole it from New Kid on the Hallway. 1.) Challenger space shuttle exploded (1986): I was in New Zealand. Wasn’t really on my radar screen. 2.) Berlin Wall falls down (1989): In NZ. Young. I remember it, but not well enough to really remember much except the images from [...

Seeing the other side

Posted on February 10, 2009
There’s a lot of guilt, loss and anger associated with the breakup of a family. Now I see why they say that divorce is so devastating. Chapin never calls. He sees Pumpkinhead on Wednesdays now that he’s home only because no one else can pick Pumpkinhead up...

Some Good News

Posted on February 10, 2009
Several really positive things have happened this week. I refuse to let the fact that my mortgage payment rose $200 today (damn escrow shortage!!!) spoil the positive post I was going to write. With any luck I will win the Mega Millions tonight and it will cap off my run of good fortune [...
