Sweet Detox

Monday, September 11th, 2006

After three weeks of excesses while on vacation, I decided that the best way for me to clear out my body of all the junk I put into it, was to stop my sugar intake completely for a little while. It has been my experience that I’m most successful at this if I just […]

The Magic of Acceptance

Thursday, August 3rd, 2006

The most amazing thing happened a few days ago, but I’ve been up to my eyeballs in work this past while, so I’m just now getting around to telling you about it.  Still, I *must* tell you about it. 

So, as you know, my laptop took a major dive just after my son’s birthday. […]

Magic Realism

Saturday, May 20th, 2006

The artist who painted this picture, Rob Gonsalves, is a brilliant, magical illusionist. I found his work online and have been fascinated ever since. He somehow takes realistic, but opposing scenes, and matches them together seamlessly. This piece, titled Bedtime Aviation is only an example of what he can do. […]

It’s Snowing!!

Sunday, March 19th, 2006

Ok, so you East-Coasters, Europeans, etc., are probably not very impressed by this announcement. But this is the desert, baby, and snow is a rare and special treat around here.

We had great fun running around and trying to catch the stuff on our tongues. My three-year-old remained interested until about the time […]

Las Vegas, Baby!

Monday, February 20th, 2006

I’m writing this post from our hotel room in Las Vegas. We’ve had the most amazing 24 hours and I just have to take time out and share.
Now, by amazing I mean astonishing. Extraordinary. Magical.
I had a few intentions when we planned this trip. For some of them, I had a lot of influence. […]

The Best Night!

Friday, February 3rd, 2006

What a night that was!
We had a good drive up to the Glendale Arena the day of the show (Wednesday). Having tickets through will-call can be nerve-wracking to say the least. We paid a pretty penny, and didn’t know where we were sitting until just a few hours before the show! In the past, I […]

Bubbles!

Monday, January 23rd, 2006

My little boy woke up from his afternoon nap and looked a little peaked. If his (recently) monstrous appetite is any indication, he is about to shoot up in size an inch or so - any minute. I had been working on a photography project involving bubbles and it was a nice day, so […]

Boxed!

Monday, January 9th, 2006

What a great day! I sure have been busy though. Wasn’t entirely sure I’d be able to get in here to do my promised update, but due to an extremely cooperative (and wonderful) husband, here I am.
First things first, I have Assignment #2 pretty much completed. As I mentioned before, I can […]

Day One - Completed

Monday, January 2nd, 2006

What a great day.
There are some details about my day in regards to the weight loss on my FitDay Journal, but I was pleased to find that my day did not revolve around food (or the lack thereof). Instead, I kept my focus firmly on my assignment and my goals and it worked like a […]
