Life: The Battle of Calories & Control

Things are going pretty well in my life.  I mean, I can always find something to complain about, “I need more money” … “Oprah is leaving me next year.  WHY!!!!!”  Last week really put a lot in perspective for me.  I know 2 people who lost their lives.  One was a sorority sister of mine, [...]

Hello…Again!

I don’t know why I have been on a writing hiatus lately … I just honestly think I have been feeling like I don’t have anything to write about.  This is completely untrue!  I mean, blog writing is just about writing – not necessarily about writing anything witty or inspirational or downright honest.  Blog writing [...]

10K. 55,000 Runners. One Peachtree Roadrace

Nearly two years ago I was sitting on my apartment balcony eating cereal.  I think it was some type of Kashi Go Lean and some vanilla soy milk.  I was sitting there overlooking Peachtree Street as 55,000 people ran past my building, down 10th Street and capped off in Piedmont Park.  I woke up pretty [...]

Back From Paris … Some Ponderings

I feel like I am getting back in the swing of things since coming home from Paris.  I feel a little lazy – maybe it’s just the jet lag?  I’ve been back for one week, and when I got home, I went straight to work and then came down with this cold.  I haven’t been [...]

Musings About Loss Of Many Kinds

I’ve been pretty obsessed with one of my favorite band’s new songs, “Human” by The Killers.  I think that it’s a perfect song for where I am right now in my life.  If you get a chance, definitely listen to it.  It puts me in a total trance of thinking about my past and thinking [...]

Full Of Friction

Went on a great jog today though Piedmont Park.  The Fall air was so crisp that it almost felt like there could be a lightening storm.  The kind of air that’s so full of friction.  The leaves are now maroon and gold – and falling leaves – make me smile. It was a great jog. [...]

Alterations, Of Many Kinds

Things overall are going great.  First of all, I can’t write this without saying, “YEAH!!!  OBAMA!!!”  Okay, had to get that out of my system.  Now, in my life, the biggest challenge is finding a new balance.  I love my new career and I feel like it’s a great step in the right direction.  I [...]

How I Prepped For Surgery

I had a wonderful request from Jillian, a supporter of my Blog who left me a comment-request to talk about how I prepped for my surgery.  She is in the process of getting ready to get her Lap Band, and I am glad to help.   I feel like I had to split my preparation [...]

Run, Forrest, Run!

Oh, I am exhausted!  So, as I wrote yesterday in my Blog, I ran (mostly) and walked in the Run Like Hell 5K.  And last night I went out with Edward and Simon and Edward asked me if I wanted to do the AIDS walk with them today.  I was like, “Sure…how long is it?” [...]
