One of my favorite bosses, the one who really taught me the most about my current job and how to just BE in a corporate environment, gave me the best personal and professional bit of advice I've ever heard.You don't always know what your limit is before you reach it. The trick is recognizing when… Continue reading Home Again

It was 85 and sunny all day today on the beach in Malibu, CA.I hear it snowed at home.MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

As Samhain was last weekend and thus a new year has begun, I've been thinking a lot lately about a lot of things: spirituality (which often comes back into my thoughts during the longer months, as though the sleeping earth gives me a chance to reflect without feeling guilt that I'm not outside), relationships, goals… Continue reading Samhain Thinking

I'm listening to A Boy Named Sue while writing this. Ah, Johnny and June. One of my favorite love stories of all time.Our 5th wedding anniversary was on Halloween. Our original plan was actually to spend our 5th anniversary in Ireland (well, in Britain AND Ireland, but let's be honest...it's Ireland I love). Unfortunately, our… Continue reading Johnny & Anniversary

It's Friday afternoon and I've had quite the crapola week. No counselor appointment this week, which really sucks because there are some things going on I'd like to talk to her about, so I burned holes in my keyboard doing the "brain dump" writing exercise for, oh, about six hours total over the week. My… Continue reading Stuff in General

I'm an idiot. I wrote a whole post on my other blog by accident. The other one is pretty much just for Nic and I to bitch about our adventures in trying to get healthy. Adn for some inane reason Blogger doesn't allow cutting and pasting of the text without major hassle.Oh well. It was… Continue reading *sigh*
