Bring on 2010

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’d love to find an [...]

Not again…

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 [...]

Merry Bloomin’ Christmas

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.
Christmas hasn’t been fun so far either.  My brother, darling family-oriented guy that he is, decided that instead of staying until [...]

Iranian plane crash.
Dude.
Just…dude.
I guess, statistically speaking, that kinda sorta (but not really) makes it less likely that my planes will go down tomorrow or next Saturday?
And how horrible is that to [...]

Ciaran cuteness

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 [...]

I’m It

As tagged by TeacherMommy.
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 [...]

Santé

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.
Although it might seem surprising that a liberal is saying so, I know Michael Moore’s documentaries can have problems. There were factual errors in [...]
