Not Wallpaper – Dangit!
As an introvert, I have absolutely no interest in being the life of the party. I would much rather sit back and blend in with the wallpaper. Unfortunately, that wasn’t my experience at my second yoga class. In the first one, I was with a bunch of elderly people, so I didn’t feel like my lack …
I ADORE Racquetball!!
So, I’ve learned and experienced so many new and exciting things since joining The Y. Old people can be energetic and excited about life. Big 5 is convenient, yet expensive. And racquetball was sent to us from The Gods. I think it was me who suggested we (Mr. C and I) try it out. I …
The Y
I was raised Mormon, so when I hear “The Y” I think of BYU – Brigham Young University. Whenever I see the following image, I assume the person associated with it is Mormon: Of course, when most people hear “The Y” they think of YMCA. When I think about YMCA, I think of a poor …
Sleeping Grandma
For the last few days, I’ve been going to the library to work on my manuscript. I’ve found that there are a handful of us who share the same section of the library at about the same time each morning. One of them is an elderly Intuit woman. At first, I didn’t pay much attention …
The Joy of Being Agnostic
I’ve tried to avoid this particular theme, but every Wednesday, come hell or high water, I am infuriated by one issue – the same issue every week. Freakin’ zealots! Why am I enraged by zealots each week? Because they are sure to make themselves visible and offensive each and every week. I live a few …
I Accidentally Lost FIVE Pounds!
Can you tell how excited I am? Yay me! Last week, Mr. C and I had his son for the week. The poor little guy was sick for half of the time that we had him. 😦 Luckily, he doesn’t stay sick very long, and by the time we gave him back to his mom, …
A New Club
I’ve mentioned that Mr. C’s son has special needs. Being let into his world has shown me a whole new part of this life I never really acknowledged before. I’m learning so much! Not just about him and the things I need and can do for and with him, but about complete strangers, as well. It …
Environmentalist
I would like to say that I do my part to help preserve the environment, but in truth, I’m a slacker. I’m pretty good about recycling while at home, but that’s about it. I don’t run the water while a brush my teeth. That counts for something, right? I bought a ton of those reusable grocery …
Bathtub
When I was married, my then-husband owned a fixer upper home. Each floor of that house had a bathroom, and I claimed the top floor bathroom as my own. I painted it using a few different techniques – sponging, stamping, etc. I even made curtains (sewing is not my forte). Placed right in front of …
Days 1 & 2
I did it! I got back on track! Well, at least for two days now, I’ve done it. And, it wasn’t completely back on track, but it was a great step in the right direction. I have exercised for two days in a row now. Yay! (Celebrate the small victories, right?) And how do I …
