Over on Budgets Are Sexy, J. Money has a life list. It’s different than a bucket list, because I’m never going to die. That’s right. I’m a vampire. Or something. Honestly, I don’t know how it’s different but this is just a list of a few super-fun things I’ve always wanted to do but are now on my fun goals list. Hop the next...

Workout videos show someone doing the workout and instructing you at the same time. What I hate are workout videos with voiceovers. Can’t stand them. Also, sometimes the music doesn’t quite match the steps. Since I follow the music I find that my brain can’t handle that I’m moving just a little bit off from what my eyes are seeing and trying...

Either that or just a hundred more pairs of regular socks. Socks seem to be the most difficult thing to keep track of in this house. They get put in laundry baskets and then moved around until you can find five single socks of five different types but there isn’t a pair to be seen. Plus, even when I do have socks in pairs they’re in my drawer in my...

I used to glance over at the calendar bar on the side of gmail and not really process what I was seeing. Reminders for weekly chat room sessions and the occasional doctor’s appointment. But now there are playdates, doctor appointments, local events, school information, birthdays, meetings with friends, etc. It doesn’t sound like a lot but now I have to be...

I am so excited! I’ve been thinking this whole “drink before you get thirsty” is some seriously counter-intuitive b.s. but couldn’t prove it. Luckily I don’t have to because Active.com has gathered up some studies about hydration and what and when to drink. Here’s a snippet: Here’s a look at the old and new views on...

I walk into my appointment downtown at a fairly busy clinic and I’m greeted with, “Hey girl!” and “Hi Jenny!” They smile, because they know I’m going to make them smile. The whole appointment process is smooth and they’re smiling and I’m laughing and it wouldn’t even be clinical except for my feet being slung up...

Regular maintenance is important for the whole family. Today three of our five family members have doctor appointments, including me! The scheduling was a horrendous mistake on my part, two kids getting shots at 7am and then me having to be downtown by 9:30am is just not the way you want your Friday morning to start. But hey, I did it and I’m going to power...

So I am working with Collective Bias and DaySpring on the Living With Purpose Campaign. They give me money and I go buy a backpack full of school supplies for my kid, and then a duplicate one for a child in need. Exciting, right? But as you can see from my last post I’d gone to four stores and no one had what I was looking for. I was disheartened. Then on a...

So I decide to go to school and completely change my direction. But there’s just this one company I decide to work for. The one run by a friend of mine. The one I’d pretty much do anything for because I trust her business sense like I trust a bloodhound to find stuff. She’s amazing. Then there’s this other company I loved working for. They...
