I was watching American Idol last night and right there in the middle of the episode was a commercial for the 2009 Toyota Camry. 2009??? Are you seriously trying to tell me that the 2009 vehicles are already on sale in April?? Okay, so G looks over at me and says “Sweetie, it’s always been that way.” Has it really? I mean, I can remember the following year’s car coming out in the late fall and car dealers having commercials that said “This is the year end sales event! We’ve got to make room for all of those brand new…

I have definitely reached a point where being sad or upset about my past has gotten old. This whole not having self-confidence is a bit old too. Why did I let someone else take so much away from me? I really have to get over it, you know? Enough already! Part of what gets me when I start to think about my past is this feeling of “Why didn’t I take advantage of _____ when I had the chance?” (Insert whatever into the blank. e.g. sleeping in, being young, my freedom) Or realizing that I didn’t live to my fullest…

Have you ever watched the show “Deadliest Catch” ? It comes on the Discovery channel and is a documentary style series about crab fisherman. Now, before you start thinking that it’s going to be like watching bass fishing or something boring, you should really give it a chance. I would have never in a million years turned on the show if it hadn’t been for my brother, who is fascinated by it. Last year when I lived with my brother for about six months, we used to sit up together and watch it. Part of its charm may have been…

Tomorrow is the community yard sale here at our town homes. I am just going to pull everything out tonight that I can think of and stick tags on all of it. I am determined to get rid of everything, even if I have to sell a $100 item for ten cents. I just want it gone. The time has really come to purge our house and my life of all of these things that I got when I married J and things that he purchased or gave to me. It will feel so good to let it all go….

Sometimes I think I get too hung up on age. Yes, I know that 31 is still young, but sometimes it really feels like it’s getting to be too late for some things. Women can have babies into their 40’s, but when you already have trouble in that department, it makes you wonder when your cut-off date is going to be. Of course, I don’t want to have a baby before I’m ready just because I’m scared of it being too late. The other issue with age that I’ve had lately is just career based anxiety. Everywhere you look, someone…

This post may prove that I am the biggest dork in the world, but here goes nothing. When I am working out at Jazzercise, the routines sometimes get to be a bit too hard or I feel like I am starting to lose energy or the ability to carry on… so I have come up with a little way to keep myself going. I pretend that I am trying out for the Dallas Cowboy’s Cheerleading Squad. Did you ever watch that show on ESPN or whatever where they showed the entire audition process for the DCC’s? (Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader’s) Well,…
