defining the circles that make me whole
Surprise alone timePosted by Alli on August 31, 2007
Last night my husband took our son to a football game, so I got some unexpected “me” time. I was wanting to get a pedicure before our vacation this weekend, but never knew how to fit it in. And then yesterday morning my husband proposed taking Fuller to the UTC game and I jumped at [...]
New weekPosted by Alli on August 27, 2007
I took a bit of a blog break this weekend, not writing anything on any of my blogs. I just relaxed, did some freezer meal prep, and hung out. Sunday we took Fuller to the Creative Discovery Museum for a few hours. He was excellent and didn’t freak out when we had to leave. And [...]
Missed Weightloss Wednesday, but it doesn’t matterPosted by Alli on August 23, 2007
I forgot about Weight Loss Wednesday yesterday. I returned from my mini-vacation Tuesday and when Wednesday arrived, it seemed like my Monday. I got a lot done and organized a bunch of things, but I never got on the scale. Today I checked and I was at 214. So, I gained a little bit more… [...]
Monday moving onPosted by Alli on August 6, 2007
I had to take a break from points counting this weekend, due to illness. I was doing ok, but then I had a migraine and threw up. It isn’t like I just threw up once the migraine happened… it took about two hours for that to finally happen. But I have to wonder, does throwing [...]
Just bePosted by Alli on July 5, 2007
Still on vacation at Lake Martin! This is D and me on my FIL’s boat, enjoying the evening sunset. Relaxation has been hard to come by, with all the family stuff and Fuller getting ill. But as we enter the last few days of vacation (we leave on Sunday) I think we will have lots [...]
A little corner of my ownPosted by Alli on June 23, 2007
I took a trip to Ikea on Friday. I scored this new laptop desk from their As-Is showroom. I didn’t realize that when you go up the escalator to the showroom area that the first three rooms are all set up with As-Is furniture. The laptop desk was sitting in the second one. I didn’t [...]
Self Portrait Sunday: This is a big dealPosted by Alli on June 17, 2007
This is a picture of me drying my hair. As in, I am using an actual hair dryer to turn my hair from wet to damp to dry. Why is this a big deal? Well, it significance lies in the idea that a sign of depression is losing interest in taking care of yourself. I [...]
Time to myselfPosted by Alli on June 6, 2007
Mommy guilt has been running rampant today. The thing is, I wanted to be a stay at home mom for so long that now I am appalled at thoughts I have about being by myself. I daydream about taking a short night away from my family. I reminisce about that one time I spent two [...]
Achieving harmony in my environmentPosted by Alli on June 2, 2007
I haven’t studied Feng Shui or ever applied any of its principles to my life, but I think I understand what it means when your Feng Shui is out of whack. According to Wikipedia, Feng Shui is: ancient Chinese practice of placement and arrangement of space to achieve harmony with the environment.
