I spent most of my life being inflexible - in both senses of the word. I'd like to think that I have loosened up mentally, hard for a rule-loving girl and equally hard to measure. I know for a fact that my body is more flexible. I was born lacking typical baby flexibility. It really… Continue reading Inflexible

The F Word Discussion
Have you ever read a book for pleasure only to discover it had a homework kind of vibe to it? That is how I felt when reading Lean In. What kept me going was the fact tat it was only 175 pages. Since I'm not in grad school, I didn't have to read the 50 pages… Continue reading The F Word Discussion
Truth versus Trust
Somehow I managed to never see an episode of Dr. Who until two years ago. I’d never even heard of The Doctor until I lived in England, and I’m not sure how I missed watching the show then with the Dr. Who Omnibus showing up all the time on the telly listings. My first doctor… Continue reading Truth versus Trust
The Confessional – Guilty Pleasures Edition
I haven't stepped into the confessional on this blog in a while, so I figured it was about time. It's good for the soul, right? Although I refuse to pay for cable, I still watch television. That is not the secret since I've mentioned it before (including buying an antennae to watch football). What has… Continue reading The Confessional – Guilty Pleasures Edition
Company Pier
I was working at SANYO (where I made so many good friends, like Ms. M) when I went through my divorce. To this day I am so grateful to my boss for her support. For a couple months I was pretty useless. Before this went down, putting away all the paperwork was not my biggest… Continue reading Company Pier
House-aversary
Five years ago this week I signed my life away and bought my condo. As a single person, that was a scary step, but one I wanted to take. That step was a long time coming. With the housing bubble, the costs of home ownership were prohibitively high for years. But since I really wanted… Continue reading House-aversary
Mind Reading
Somehow the other day, I got to thinking about Mel Gibson. Not the Mel Gibson of the anti-Semitic slurs, but the young Mel Gibson who showed his bare butt in every film. That version of Mel Gibson I loved (and not just for his body) ... until I watched What Women Want. It didn't live… Continue reading Mind Reading
Fork
Years ago, back when I was working for SANYO, my dad was working with a company that sent him to Japan. During my next visit with him, he related a story about how, since he doesn't do chopsticks, he took a fork from the plane and carried it with him, using it in restaurants throughout… Continue reading Fork
Nostalgia – 80s Style
Lately, not only have I been listening to old time radio shows, I had a new discovery that is quickly becoming a favorite. Did you know Pandora has an 80s Cardio channel?!?!? It is now all I listen to on my neighborhood walks. Not only have I been listening to A LOT of the music… Continue reading Nostalgia – 80s Style
A Bigger Leap
Six weeks ago I took a huge leap of faith and left a job of seven years for a new adventure. I'm now taking another leap ... this time without knowing where I will land. Rather than being scary, it is quite liberating. After a month on my new job, I knew for certain… Continue reading A Bigger Leap
