Welcome! If you're new to my site, click HERE to let me show you where the best benefits for yourself are located. Thanks for visiting!

Angels in disguise Morning all,

And how are you today?  I hope your weekend was as enjoyable as mine - I indulged in a romantic date with the husband (went to see the movie Religilous, an utterly brilliant rational take on a very irrational subject), spent time with the kids, worked on my various projects and the like.  I’m currently building a psychology association site and the ideas I’ve devised….wow, it makes the process so much easier.

But I digress.  :)

Today I’d like to talk to you about angels.

Now, you’re probably aware that organized-religion prone….I’m Read more »

Free Halloween Costumes in Today’s Economy

Free!Morning all,

With the economy currently battling Freddy Krueger in regards to which is more frightening, it only makes sense to lessen the financial expenditures one must endure during the next few months.

But an opportunity now arises (for as we all know, problems are simply mis-understood opportunties)!

Halloween is coming…and those cute little costumes you see at Party City or Kmart or what have you will run you between $20 to more than 15 cups of Starbucks coffee!  And when you think it’s only for one day…you have to ask yourself, is there a Read more »

Cereal Killers Amongst Us

Cereal humorMorning all,

So!  Have y’all heard about the oh-so-obvious fact that most kids cereals contain over 50% sugar?

Why the world is so surprised about this is truly beyond me.

Woefully sighing over closed doors

Closed Doors

Morning!

Oh wow, was yesterday ever so much fun!  I had the pleasure of attending our karate dojo’s demostration and presentation for our local Community Day!  As the unofficial photographer of my dojo, I took bleeploads of pictures and a great many of them turned out magnificent.  I always enjoy printing them out on 8.5×11" paper and handing them to the parents; my photography skills are improving greatly.  

But I digress!

The fine art of beating yourself up

Angst!

Morning!

Well, yesterday was quite the interesting character-building time for me.  Actually, for the most part, it was quite enjoyable - got lots of writing done, taught my kids some snappy comebacks to idiot sayings, saw the final printout of the first brochure I’ve ever designed (and I’ll confess - that was sweet)….life was most peachy until my beloved adult sparring.

For there:

In a word, my skills were less optimal than, oh, lessee, a drunk moose playing DDR with his caribou buds. 

Bleh.  I’ve haven’t been that incompetent now for over a year; I have no idea to where my mind went during the bout.  And afterwards, I couldn’t even leave (welll, of course I COULD, I chose not to, as the karate demo team was practicing and I always take pictures).  So for the first 10 minutes, I dwelled on how truly lousy Read more »

Honoring your supreme cluelessness

Here clue clue clue clue!

Morning all!

You know, one of my favorite phrases in the entire world is:

Life!  It’s character-building!

And because cluelessness (we’re talking the kind that would win the Darwin Awards if one existed for personal business) is part and parcel of one’s character (ideally, less than, hmmmm, 87% of your total makeup), I now firmly believe that it should be embraced and cherished and LEARNED FROM and then……let go with all of the fervor a Twitterholic embraces the latest version of TweetDeck.

By now, you’re probably aware….I, ahem, enjoyed the above opportunity to a point that made the phrase

Soul-searing agony

Family fitness with Biggest Loser Family Edition

Safe and SmartMorning!

Well, okay, true…it’s not EXACTLY the morning, given the fact it’s almost midnight (6:45pm), but the point still stands…hello!

Today’s post centers upon family fitness…most notably, how to interest your kids in being healthy without causing them to angst all over the place.

You see, it all happened on Sunday morning.  Yesterday, I had awakened at my usual late morning time of 4am, wrote bunches of copy, cuddled with the kids at 7am, and started my morning workout routine around 8am. 

Now, I always vary Read more »

On being a GREAT lover - Are you your body OR are you your soul?

Great LoverMorning all,

For today’s post, I’d like to focus on a very very very VERY simple concept….yet one that is often overwhelmed by the priority our society places on truly superficial aspects.

And it’s this:

Do you define yourself by your body…or by your soul?

It’s not as inane a question as you might think!  Think about what today’s culture tends to embrace. Read more »

Appreciating what you have before you lose it

Anniversary

Morning!

It’s been a pretty hectic past week, let me tell you that!  I’ve been flying solo now for the past 6 days; the husband returns from a week-long  business trip very shortly and it’s not a moment too soon.

Think "4 kids!", add to that "homework monitoring", include a dash of "dealing with clients who shun email yet then wonder why updates I sent 2 months ago never got thru", tack on PMS that oh so thoughtfully coincided when my kids were in "must velcro to the Mommy mode" (sometimes I think I’m the only person who, ahem, enjoys PMS twice a month - middle AND end of each cycle.  And to think my kids will follow in me footsteps!), and you get a weeeeee bit of the utter bliss that is currently suffusing my very being.

But I digress.  :)

Yesterday, I had a very fascinating discussion Read more »

Putting AWAY your childhood with a Crystal Sword

I’m feeling very pensive this moment.

This morning, all the utterly soul-searing agonizing joys of PMS barreled into my unwilling pysche, making me consider various channeling methods including indulging in MMA to the death, using a flame thrower to tidy up my kids’ rooms, evoking world peace by obliterating mankind and other similar gentle pursuits.  Being a mature, zen-like mom of magnificence, however, I opted instead  to start cleaning the basement in preparation for future home improvement.

Life was zooming along most peachy-like UNTIL…..I found my 24" crystal sword I had bought 6 years ago….still in its laquered case and buried underneath my kids’ old baby accoutrements.

Now, I vividly remember when I had bought this.  I was going thru some Read more »
