This week has gone by in a flash. It helps that I have to be a bit on the move. With the remodel still going on, we have people working from 8:30 a.m. till 5 p.m. every day, which means no napping, no sleeping in. Which is fine. I’ve gotten a lot done. Lots of…
De-Cluttering
The one thing having a week of not being beholden to a job brings you is the opportunity to detox. I am a big believer in the concept, and practice, of detoxing your life. Clearing out the space. Organizing. Burning the sage. De-cluttering. I think it’s healthy to have daily intentions, as it’s been my…
All the E-mails
With this the last week of work at my current place of employment, I haven’t had the chance to properly respond to all of the really lovely, really kind e-mails and messages I’ve received. I promise to next week sit down and reply. For now, thank you SO much for your kind words of support,…
Aggressive Approach
I have been going to my OB-GYN for almost ten years now. So have my girlfriends. I know it’s weird, that a goodly number of my girlfriends and I have the same OB-GYN, but I see it this way: I don’t go to a restaurant without fully researching it and checking out the reviews. My…
A Penny Saved
Yesterday we got our ComEd bill. I’m not ashamed to tell you all, I’ve been anxiously awaiting it. I don’t know when it happened, though if I’m honest, it was probably somewhere around when I began making above-the-poverty-line wages, but I’ve turned into an old man when it comes to finances. Scratch that, I’ve become…
2009 In Review
1. What did you do in 2009 that you’d never done before? Bought a house. Went on a cruise to the Mediterranean. Tried to get pregnant. 2. Did you keep your New Year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I can’t remember what they were (since I wiped out most of my…
OMG I Am Off Until January 4th
Erin: Know what I have to worry about tonight? Scott: What? Erin: NOTHING. I’m on my third cup of coffee, at my computer, and am in my fuzzy red bathrobe, the one Scott bought me a couple of Christmases ago. In a few minutes, I’m going to go run a couple of miles out in…
And Now a Word From My Husband…
“For the first time in 18 years, I was going to be home for Christmas. Or perhaps, more specifically, Erin and I would own a home for Christmas. We closed on this place during Thanksgiving week, just in time for the grind. And though we’d be running the gauntlet again this year, I was looking…
An (un)friendly reminder
I hate to even have to say this, again, but please DO NOT reach out to me via work channels, or, like one misguided fool, reach out to one of my coworkers, thinking it’s me, after reading this blog. This has been at my About section for more than a year now: “(Something to note,…
Another update masquerading as a post
Look, I’m really exhausted these days. And not in a thyroid way, though I imagine that has something to do with it. Work is crazy insane busy and if I’m not working late, I am hastily waking up at 4 a.m. to agonize about not being at work at that moment and all of the…
Thyoliday Blues and Truths
The lovely Katie Schwartz at Dear Thyroid e-mailed me a few weeks ago and asked me to take part in Dear Thyroid’s Thyoliday Blues and Truths this month. If you struggle with thyroid disease, you really should check them out. Questions from Dear Thyroid: 1. Have the holidays and your experience of them changed since…

This stuff is amazing. Get it. Your dry, cracked skin will thank you.

This sits proudly on my desk. I love it so much.

I saved up and planned for these puppies. Some of the best money I've ever spent. I love these more than I can say.
-
I decided to try enhancement products when I was training for my second marathon this year. I chose these and love them.
