Back to Everything

July 2, 2015 Crankygiraffe3 Comments

I am back at work.  I meant to blog earlier than now, but there hasn't been enough time in each day. For a month, I was of work, off exercise, off eating well, almost completely off blogging... anything else??? I had a great vacation in Orlando with the family.  There was so much that I… Continue reading Back to Everything

The Time Has Come

March 10, 2015 Crankygiraffe7 Comments

Everyday, I am acutely aware of how my clothes rub against my body in ways they haven't in a long time.  Everyday I feel just a little less "good" about my health. I know that my weight has been slowly creeping up. I know that I keep making excuses for myself. I know I kid… Continue reading The Time Has Come

A Spread for The Books

March 1, 2015 Crankygiraffe8 Comments

As is typical for the Italian party host, I made Way Way too much food. It was all delicious, though!  The highlight of the party was, of course, the cheesecake, and it did not disappoint. It was perfectly dense, moist, cheesy, and fruity. In exchange for all my hard work, I did manage to inherit 4… Continue reading A Spread for The Books

Poor Choices

November 24, 2014November 24, 2014 Crankygiraffe6 Comments

I went to the cafeteria to buy soup for lunch. I left the cafeteria with a platter of Chinese food. Pretty poor food choice, especially for someone who can't run right now. At least I snagged two fortune cookies! (But I'm not even sure if that was a good choice either, given the fortunes) I… Continue reading Poor Choices

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 […]
