You've read about my goal to improve my lifestyle. (Here, here, and here.) This afternoon, while the snow falls down yet again in Somewheres, VA, I'm sitting on the couch and reflecting about said goals. Quite simply, I can honestly say that this lifestyle change process has been the most honest I've been with myself. What …
About your Author. (Again? For real?)
Why, oh why, are we doing this again? Oh, you're in rare form today, huh? Have you been living under a rock? It's cold. You can imagine what living in the frozen tundra does to a girl's mood. Hey, I'm cold, too. But I felt like it was time for another chat. Totally disagree. Yeah, …
to all the boys i’ve “loved” before…
There was the very first guy, *Darrell Henson, whose uncanny resemblance to Michael Jackson meant that I was instantly in love. That was in the 5th grade. We, of course, need to mention Steven Morgan, whose hazel eyes and 6th grade charm meant that I was quickly under his spell. Even when he fell in …
The Unholy Hour. (Or, the Gym Diaries)
Hi. And ouch. But a good ouch. So for the past few days, I've been waking up at 5AMÂ to go to the gym before reporting to the OK Corral. Yep, you read that right. Since you're getting to know me here on TSP, let me educate you on a few things about me: 1. I …
This Square Peg and the Hamburglar.
Of the many, many nicknames my bestie has for me, there's a particular one that pretty much speaks for itself: The Hamburglar. Do you remember The Hamburglar from McDonald's of old? The petty thief who liked to filch people's burgers? Of course, I wasn't going around stealing people's food (I mean, not all the time, …
The Influenza Monster.
First, hi. Second, yep, it's been several weeks. Third, yep, we're in an entirely different year than we were in my last post. Hope you're loving 2015 so far. Me? I'm trying to make it through the day without passing out within inches of my co-workers. During the past week, I was felled by a vicious …
The Value of Tough, Ouch-y Love.
I wrote the following essay last year and submitted it to HelloGiggles. Wasn't published, but such is life. I'm proud of it all the same. Check it out below. Feel free to let me know what you think. The Value of Tough, Ouch-y Love Deep down, I knew it was coming. As I informed the …
Hibernatin’.
Ask me the last time I went to the gym. Go on, ask me. It's ok. Ask me. Go on. I can't even remember. That's right. All the good work I accomplished in the summer with walking and working out has gone to the dogs. I can't even remember the last time I entered my …
“are you wearing pants?”
Last night, me and my younger brother attended a concert starring none other than the Man, the Musical Genius, a member of my Top Five Favorite Performers of All Time, Stevie Wonder. This was my second time seeing Stevie Wonderful, but I was no less thrilled, excited, and happy to share the event with my bro, …
