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,…

Doesn’t it always seem like Wednesdays are the hardest days? I know a lot of people hate Mondays because the weekend is over and all, but to me, at least I am facing Monday after having a fun and hopefully restful weekend. But Wednesdays are like an island. They are sitting out there surrounded by two workdays on either side, with no weekend in sight. It’s always the hardest day for me. Hard to get out of bed. Hard to get dressed and out of the house. I wish that I could just skip Wednesdays and go straight to Thursday….

Happy April Fools! This is not exactly a “holiday” tradition that I have gotten into too much in the past, but it’s fun to see what ideas creative tricksters have come up with. Google seems to have gotten in on the festivities with custom time, where you can send emails into the past and also a new wake up system, complete with bucket to dump water on you if alarms aren’t working. Check out a list of some online april fool’s day jokes at Cnet . My favorite joke so far is what Youtube has done. Just go there and…

Sometimes I think that ideas, feelings, experiences, emotions… all of these things need time to marinate. Whatever you are going through right now will never appear completely clearly to you, but it always seems that what you went through six months ago or sometimes 5 years ago looks so much simpler or easier to figure out now that it’s all over. Things that seem monumental at the time might seem completely trivial in the morning light. I keep trying to think of a quote I once heard about an author who said it took moving Paris in order to write…

Do you ever wonder why scientists and doctors invest so much time and money on studies that tell us… exactly what we already knew? CNN.com is reporting about a recent study that shows “Big Belly could carry bigger dimentia risk”. The article is basically about how doctors have been conducting a study over the past 30+ years to see if having a fat belly leads to health problems. DUH! Why don’t they just post one giant study that says: STUDY SHOWS THAT ABUSING YOUR BODY MAY LEAD TO HEALTH PROBLEMS. That should about cover it.
