the Simple Life

I'm at a pretty simple place in life right now, and I like it that way.

My job is going well, my co-workers are a lot of fun and I'm thankful that I can laugh with them even when things at work are hard. I'm cooking a lot for my family; trying to introduce them to some new dishes and perfect some of my favorites. My dog is the same as ever, though with the help of some doggie medication (you're not allowed to laugh until you've met him), I'm hoping he'll be a little less tightly wound in the near future.

I quit Weight Watchers. The scale started making me a tad mental, to be honest. I haven't given up my quest to be a healthier person, but I want to balance that with being a happy person as well. I'm working out 3 times a week at the gym and haven't quite figured out the eating part of my life yet. It's a journey, I guess, and I don't think I'm done looking for answers.

But yes, life is simple, and I am happy.

Updated blogroll

I updated my blogroll at left to those who, well, actually update. No hard feelings I hope.

That is all!

Its just a phase

I think I am going through a phase. A highly irrational, out-of-the-blue phase. I am thoroughly convinced that men are not to be trusted, perhaps that I am a terrible judge of character, and because of this the man I choose to date next will most likely cheat on me.

Is this based on any experience I have? No, it's purely driven by irrational fear. But where on earth is it coming from?

Unblogable (its a word)

I'm doing a lot of writing at the moment, but not much of it is blogable. Most of it will remain in my computer, written to no one... but still incredibly cleansing nonetheless.

I miss my friends in Minneapolis. I'm doing terrible on Weight Watchers but I'm digging deep on some issues I need to work out, so we'll see how that goes. Life is kind of at a standstill, but my brain never follows.

Always thinking too much, writing too little.

New and Improved 101 Things

A revised 101 things in 1001 days has now been posted on the right, and the revamp was sorely needed. I got rid of a few things that are no longer feasible for various reasons, posted a few new items, and edited a few. I've been slowly checking off things on this list since 2007, and I'm generally not a list maker but I've really enjoyed the process.

I'm about 8 short, and with less than 8 months to go I need to get going on a lot of these. I'm open to suggestions!
