First off - happy May Day! I truly adore spring and christen it my official favorite season. The trees are in bloom, the weather is near perfect and it just makes one glad to be alive.
Second, here’s the challenge: read the passage below that comes from the Daily OM. […]

Before I forget, here’s my five for today (focusing on the physical since that’s harder for me):
1. I have lovely almond shaped eyes
2. My body is a healthy one - I almost never get sick.
3. I have naturally curly hair and when people used to ask who did my perm, I’d answer “God” (hee!)
4. Even […]

Taken from a thread on Salon’s Table Talk:

I’m thrilled that you guys are getting into this with gusto! Thanks for doing it on your blogs or in the comments. It is kind of challenging, isn’t it? I know I could easily list 100 things I don’t like about myself in less than five minutes. Why, then, is it so hard to […]

As I was drinking my umpty-zillionith cuppa coffee this morning, I mulled over what to write about Mother’s Day today. I pondered writing anything at all because I wasn’t sure it would be very moving or uplifting. But then I had an epiphany. I would write about the women in my […]

You know you’re in the wrong job when …
… you have a dream of working somewhere making $3 less per hour than the measely $12 you make now and are actually considering switching. How sad is that?
… Sunday night totally depresses you
… you long for the days of talking to financial morons for […]
