Or maybe that’s zen.  I always forget how the word is spelled for a silly reason.  A friend of mine used to use the name Xen when playing morts on the MUD. Work is getting more interesting, but it may be a year before we know anything definite about what’s going to happen.  That means a […]

So today, the big-wigs at work sprang a big surprise on everyone.  Everything that we’ve heard is that the company I work for has been doing well.  However, today there was a meeting with the 2 people that founded the company and the current CEO.  They’re doing a merger with 2 other companies, our sister […]

Monday night, I turned my back on my 19 month old son for a few minutes (less than 5 minutes tops) and he picked up a tin can from the trash.  He got his finger stuck in between the lid and the side and cut his finger.  I got the bleeding to stop and put […]

I’ve been doing a lot of extra writing lately.  It makes it difficult to keep up with the updates some weeks.  I’ve also been reading a weight loss blog on the NewsOK website (http://www.newsok.com/fat-to-fit).  It’s rather interesting to see someone else’s point of view on weight loss. I did find out today that a knitting […]

I said something earlier about my daughter doing a Walk Away the Pounds video with my husband.  Well, this morning, when I was doing the video because of a walking contest we’re doing at work… I caught my son doing it.  I even got it on video.  Once I get my writing done for the […]

I’ll freely admit that my daughter watches too much TV.  My husband has to have the TV on, even when he’s just sleeping in the living room, and my daughter has taken after him.  I’m going to have to work on that since I’ve never been a big fan of TV except for a few […]

Ok, so this is a few weeks old at this point, but I got a kick out of reading it on Slashdot when it first came out.  http://politics.slashdot.org/firehose.pl?op=view&type=story&sid=10/02/16/2346202 I even went to the source and read some of the first and second report written by the IPCC, or at least the parts that were referenced […]

I’m not one for New Year’s resolutions because I feel like if I’m not going to start today, I’m not going to start Jan 1, but I do have goals for the coming year(s). I’m giving myself a deadline of Jul 2014 to reach my goal weight.  That seems like a long time, but if […]

Like it’s not obvious with not being on the MUD recently, I haven’t been around much.  I’m working toward being able to post more frequently again.  Until then, you can check out my articles on the Examiner.com website 🙂  I think I posted a link to the side.  If not, there are several posted below.
