Exhausted

July 9, 2015July 19, 2015 Crankygiraffe10 Comments

I've been back at work for a week now, and I'm exhausted.  I'm also feeling my long-gone grumpiness creeping  back to get me.  I'm sure it's all a combination of just coming back from vacation, having been on some pretty slack rotations before that, not getting enough sleep, and working 11+ hour days every day.… Continue reading Exhausted

Almost Half Way!

June 3, 2015June 3, 2015 Crankygiraffe2 Comments

May is over and we are quickly launching into June - the half way point of the year!  I am so pleased with the progress I have made on my goals so far!  For this reason, I am going to re-evaluate and add new goals starting in July - for the second half of this… Continue reading Almost Half Way!

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

The Zipper

April 25, 2015 Crankygiraffe5 Comments

The Zipper won't go up! Suck it in, G!  Suck it in! After 4 months, my bridesmaid dress for my sister's wedding has arrived.  In those 4 months, I also (knowingly) gained quite a bit of weight (despite my futile attempts at weight loss).  It wasn't a surprise to me that the dress didn't fit,… Continue reading The Zipper

Quarter of the Way

April 2, 2015April 1, 2015 Crankygiraffe3 Comments

How is 2015 already 1/4 of the way done?  I can't believe how quickly the time has gone!  I'm hoping that I can keep up with my goals for the next quarter.  I think I did a pretty "okay" job of the goals thus far... Let me know what you think: 1. Half marathon training… Continue reading Quarter of the Way

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 […]
