I like food, especially rich or sweet foods. Because of a botched surgery, I have limited mobility. I can walk, but not far enough to actually take a walk. I am on medication that causes weight gain. In fact, I have been on several meds that caused weight gain. Between these three things, dieting is … Continue reading Dieting is So Hard

The Problem With Raising Wages, and What it Says About Us As a Society
Saw something someone wrote about cashiers at a store being tracked by management to see how many people they ring up to determine how many hours they'll give to workers on the schedule. This person wrote that this is what happens when menial workers demand 15 dollars an hour. They price themselves out of the … Continue reading The Problem With Raising Wages, and What it Says About Us As a Society
Fantastic Days With Friends
Last week, my friend R and I went to the beach next to my house. I got a bit of a sunburn! It was nice to just lay out and chat. Then on Monday I went out with my new friend, C. Her husband works under mine, and we met at a party. She was … Continue reading Fantastic Days With Friends
Why Feminists Hate Traditional Women
It all comes down to finding a mate. Most men, if given the choice between a bossy and promiscuous career woman and a gentle homemaker, will choose the latter. Traditional women scare straight liberal women because they know we are more desirable to most men, and they don't want to compete with traditional women on … Continue reading Why Feminists Hate Traditional Women
Friendship Soothes the Soul
I've spent most of the morning talking to my best friend, L. It feels so good to chat and connect. When we started talking, depression had me wanting to go to bed. But L encouraged me to stay up and kept me talking. I'm so grateful for L. She's a true friend through thick and … Continue reading Friendship Soothes the Soul
Digital Art Journaling Pages 2
I've been creating more journal pages. The rainbow colors make my heart sing. They're simple enough, and I really enjoy making them. I downloaded a bunch of textures to use to make more, and I still have a lot to go. It's distracting me from writing - and from the laundry.
Abortion and Miscarriage
Mom groups are some of the dumbest places on the internet. Today's hypocrisy is miscarriage and abortion. I see so many women become enraged at anti abortion legislation, insult Planned Parenthood protestors who believe it's babies being killed, and offer to take other women for abortions. Yet these same women in later posts come on … Continue reading Abortion and Miscarriage
Intermittent Fasting
I spoke with my health and wellness coach today, and have decided to do intermittent fasting. I think having hard and fast rules about hours I can't eat will help me lose weight. On days my husband isn't around I will only eat from 9 to 2. On days he is around and I want … Continue reading Intermittent Fasting
Why Has the Blogosphere Gotten So Quiet?
I spent some time this afternoon searching for blogs to give me inspiration for articles and decoration ideas I might want for my own blog. And what I noticed was that pretty much every blog directory I found had blogs that were defunct. Some of them have closed websites and others just haven't been updated … Continue reading Why Has the Blogosphere Gotten So Quiet?
Christian Headcovering
For several years I wore an infinity veil or a mantilla daily as a symbol of submission, because of the angels, and because 1 Corinthians 11 teaches women should not pray with their heads uncovered (and we are to pray without ceasing). In the Christian faith, beautiful, Holy, life giving things are veiled. That includes … Continue reading Christian Headcovering
