I’m back!

May 26, 2014June 1, 2014 Crankygiraffe2 Comments

I'm back from vacation... Which means I need a new vacation to recover. I came home on Friday and I've been laying low since then. I love my kids, but being with them constantly, for 10 days straight, is exhausting. Mommy was happy to send them to daycare this morning. Coming home has also resulted… Continue reading I’m back!

Little Black Rain Cloud

May 15, 2014May 30, 2014 Crankygiraffe6 Comments

I'm trying so hard not to "rain on someone's parade." I live in a small city and the 10K that I am running in a few weeks is quite popular; as such, a lot of people I know are running it.  Included in these people are quite a few of the O&G residents here. Since… Continue reading Little Black Rain Cloud

Running

can =/ should

Last night I forced myself to run because I was being lazy.Then I forced myself to run too hard and too fast... because I was greedy.Then I wrongfully boasted about it... because I wanted praise (?).I made it my New Year's resolution to run a 10K race at the end of May.  At the time I… Continue reading can =/ should

It’s a Day for Running

April 30, 2014May 30, 2014 Crankygiraffe2 Comments

The weather is final smartening up here.  For the past week or so I've been waking up to find snow on the ground with continued rani/snow throughout the day.  I have been doing a great job of "training" either indoors on my treadmill or (more recently) outside.  Unfortunately, using my treadmill is not my favorite… Continue reading It’s a Day for Running

Feeling Uninspired

April 21, 2014 Crankygiraffe5 Comments

Lately I have been feeling very uninspired to blog.  Last night I sat down to write something, and I just couldn't figure out what to say.  I can assure you that it's not for a lack of "subjects" to write about.  There is a lot going on in my mind: I just finished medical school.… Continue reading Feeling Uninspired

Blogger Friends Got Ideas!

Yesterday, after my Alter Ego, Cranky Giraffe, posted about my son’s crazy little love letter to his newest idol, Lady Gaga, an old old blogging friend tweeted it, with an idea that maybe he could meet her!  I know the likelihood of it being re-tweeted by anyone other than myself is pretty low… But who […]

It’s Been a Long Time…

“It’s been a long time since I came around Been a long time but I’m back in town And this time I’m not leaving without you” ~Stefani Germanotta (Lady Gaga) I know I haven’t been here blogging for quite a long time (almost a year and a half…), but there was something about blogging that […]

The Common Sense Problem

The airplane seat map shows that the emergency exit row seats are considered “less desirable.” It’s a little ironic since they come with extra leg room, even if they don’t recline (really, who needs to recline 2 inches when you have two extra feet of leg room?). I think the real reason they are less […]

Walking Tall

This month I’m traveling around the country to check out fellowship positions. It is exhausting, trying, lonely, and often confusing. Most of all, I miss my kids. I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how fellowship and moving to one of these places would fit into the current, ideal, little life of […]

Happiness, Please

Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that, but simply growth.  We are happy when we are growing. ~John Butler Yeats, 1909 Is there a difference between pleasure and happiness? I had never really thought much about it until today.  My husband sent me an interview by Dr. Robert Lustig, who just […]
