The Challenge.
Today I came across a wonderful, passionate post outlining just how hard it can be and how much work it can take to lose weight and then maintain that loss over time. You can read it (and the 600+ comments on it!) here. The author writes about all the time and effort that goes [...]

I’ve officially knocked the first item off my 101 in 1001 list!
Yesterday I spent a few hours at Guide House finishing a first aid course. I’m now certified with Standard First Aid, CPR Level B, which means that next year I can act as a first aider at Brownies or at Guiding-related camps.
This is something [...]

Boobs!
No, this is nothing naughty. Dirty minded pervs.
Today I went to Diane’s Lingerie, one of the top lingerie shops in town, for a bra fitting. Like many women who get professionally fitted, I’m now wondering why I didn’t do this years ago. Embarassment, shyness, fear… I’m not really sure.
I’ve always been self-conscious [...]

Less Crap.
Because I’m a slowpoke, I’m only just now exploring the fun that is GoogleDocs. We’ve started using it at work to share documents, and it’s so neat.

The truth of the matter? I don’t want to be fat. I want to [...]

Words.
I’m a sucker for a good quote. Here are a couple I’m really enjoying right now.
“Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It’s perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we’ve learned something from yesterday.” John Wayne
“Acceptance is not submission; it [...]

Faith, Part Two.
So I found another great WordPress blogger today – Lawren blogs about her passion for paper (scrapbooking it AND recycling it!), being ‘green’ and all kinds of other great topics. She has a section on her blog that talks about about one little word, a concept proposed by Ali Edwards in her newsletter.
One little word [...]

66) See my brother once a month for a year. (1/12 starting june 07)
Last night my brother came over, bringing dinner and a birthday present with him. We cooked up dinner (Vij’s takeaway), and sat around my dining table like grownups, with candles and placemats and good conversation. We drank cranberry juice from wine glasses [...]
