Finisher

May 25, 2015May 25, 2015 Crankygiraffe11 Comments

I did it. I ran my Half-Marathon. For weeks I feared that I wouldn't be able to finish the race.  I worried that my disrupted training schedule would make it utterly impossible for me to survive the distance, especially since I read that it was a challenging course.  Right up until the day before the… Continue reading Finisher

Quick Goals Update

May 5, 2015May 5, 2015 Crankygiraffe4 Comments

I'm going to do this month's goals update a little differently - mostly for the sake of time and brevity.  My goals can be broadly categorized into Physical Wellbeing, Emotional/psychological Wellbeing, and Other (I guess).  I'll still use the same colour coding as before, but I'll just give a brief update for each category: Physical… Continue reading Quick Goals Update

Goals of the week

August 13, 2014August 13, 2014 Crankygiraffe4 Comments

I have to say that participating in the Building Rome challenge has been an interesting and successful motivating factor in my life these days.  I know the goals aren't anything too big, but just knowing that I wrote them down somewhere makes me feel a little more accountable to myself.  Some weeks I do a… Continue reading Goals of the week

Goal by Goal

July 8, 2014July 7, 2014 Crankygiraffe11 Comments

My Building Rome post for this week is one day behind (according to my standards).  That is mostly because I have been pretty busy/tired/emotionally exhausted to do much blogging this last week, AND I had to decide between posting my gift updates or the goal updates first (I hardly have time to blog these days,… Continue reading Goal by Goal

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 […]
