Random Musings Friday…

Well…I’m off to Georgia for a little rest and relaxation with Ally and Everett.  I’ve never needed a vacation as much as I need this one.  I didn’t get everything on my to-do list finished.  I think I got about halfway through it.  I guess that’s good enough.  And I only managed to forget three…

I am a terrible planner…

I am going away on Friday.  I’ve had this trip planned for at least two months.  And yet…I’m absolutely not ready to leave.  I have a two page long to do list in front of me and every single item has to be crossed off the list before I leave on Friday.  I have no…

Random Musings Friday…

Here we are, back at Friday.  This week flew by…I can’t even believe it.  The weather here has been gorgeous, but we are expecting a cold, rainy weekend.  Personally, I’m looking forward to it.  It will be a good excuse to stay inside and get to all the things lingering on my to-do list.  It’s…

Open Letter Thursday…

Dear Universe, Clearly you are trying to teach me something this week.  The problem is…you aren’t doing a very good job because I’m not sure exactly what lesson I’m supposed to be learning!  Are you trying to tell me that I need to be more patient?  That I need to be more tolerant of stupidity? …

They’ve been holding out on me!!!

My normal morning commute is uneventful, whether I take the train from NY or CT.  I wait on the platform, get on the train, read a book, get off the train and walk to my office.  Uneventful. This morning I was in CT and running pretty late.  I got to the train station about 20…

This is just twisted…

Have you guys heard of the K-E Diet?  I hadn’t until I caught something on Good Morning America the other day.  I’d heard the teaser…a new dieting alternative that can help you lose up to 20 pounds in 10 weeks…and I couldn’t turn off the TV until I heard the whole story.  I’m a sucker…

Why I Hate Spring…

It’s spring in NY…not that we really had much of a winter this year, though it was chilly for a little while.  But the chill seems to have gone away and everything is in bloom.  There are pretty purple and yellow flowers in my yard.  My tulips and daffodils have come up.  The trees in…

Random Musings Friday…

I don’t know what happened to me this week.  I must have been walking around in a bubble or something…because I hardly noticed anything interesting/random/amusing.  I think the week just got away from me and before I knew it, it was already Thursday.  Luckily I did manage to pull out a few things, so here…

What I’m Reading…

Emily’s life didn’t quite turn out the way she expected.  She and her husband are both busy lawyers working in the kind of jobs they’d always dreaded.  They are always exhausted and they have no time to spend together.  One day, in the middle of a phone call with a client, Emily feels suffocated and…

Letting go…

J gave me a massage gift certificate for Christmas and on Thursday night I had an appointment for a massage…a two hour deep tissue massage.  I’ve been having a lot of back pain and I was really looking forward to it. It was the least relaxing…but probably most theraputic…massage I’ve ever had.  I felt so bad…
