No resolutions. I don’t do resolutions.
What I’d love, though, is to be more centered in 2010. I want to continue the work that I’ve started to do more effectively in taking responsibility for the things I actually am responsible for and letting go of the old baggage that isn’t helping me.

I hate shopping.
If I had liked my body better back when I was a 14/16, maybe I would like shopping better (and wouldn’t currently be a size 26-32). I’ve never learned to like the tedium that is trying on ugly clothing that never fits me quite right and makes me feel worse than I did [...]

2009 has been a doozy of a year. My grandfather’s death was probably the lowest point in terms of real tragedy but it’s just been a long, difficult year packed full of depression and struggle.

The redeeming factor to yesterday evening (Graham was away, so I got to pick up Ciaran, bring him home, and keep him busy while I cooked dinner – the key that should have tipped me off to the fact that Ciaran really DID have a tummyache was that he was so flipping cuddly) was this [...]

1. What are your current obsessions? Not obsessing so much as panicking about flying in July. Obsessing about fat activism, maybe? Also, freaking out that I have no gift for my sister’s birthday this weekend AND haven’t managed to order the thing I was going to get my mom [...]

I watched Sicko this weekend; it’s been on my Netflix queue forever, but happened to be on satellite this weekend, so I sat down and watched the last half or so.
