I have made the “Drink More Water” resolution every New Year’s Eve for at least the past 20 years. No lie. I go on week-long streaks of water-drinking, then revert back to “camel” mode where I don’t drink much of anything (except my morning coffee) for months on end. Even though Tim wrote it explicitly … Continue reading Water Resistant

100 Recipes: Nut-Crusted Tilapia
Oh boy am I in a food rut! Same thing every week, almost. So this being Rosh Hashannah and all, I decided to make a New Year’s resolution to try 100 New Recipes this year. I got the idea from Orbitalmechanic, a LJer I have followed for a number of years. She does this, and … Continue reading 100 Recipes: Nut-Crusted Tilapia
Be Nice
There’s a new building going up on the Mansfield University Campus. I’ve been watching it go up all summer: the ground-breaking, and then the backhoes, and now the framing. Lots of guys in hard hats, pouring cement, setting rebar, working hard. Building something of this magnitude takes a lot of planning and cooperative effort on … Continue reading Be Nice
Thought Experiment
I know a lot of people who don’t like their jobs. I know some that can’t stand their jobs. I know a few who can’t even bear to get out of bed in the morning they hate their job so much. You know what I wish? I wish that every single person who is just … Continue reading Thought Experiment

On Day 3, there were some very exhibitionist “babes” cavorting very loudly on the beach, making quite the spectacle of themselves, laughing, running, squealing, etc. Whatever. (insert eye roll here). But when the heat of the day was subsiding, and the lifeguards had packed up, and most people were dragging their sunburnt bodies back to … Continue reading Mermaids
Time Challenged
I have been really time challenged lately due to this 30 Day Yoga Challenge I am running at my studio. It's so inspiring though! I have a list, a backlog of stuff I will write about in May. But this morning I found this on a Twitter and it is so wonderful I had to … Continue reading Time Challenged
Switching Operating Systems
Sometimes I find it helpful to think of my brain as a computer. My body is the hardware, and I have an operating system like Windows XP, that runs all the software. This morning during my meditation I kept asking myself: Who is watching these thoughts? Who is interrupting them, noticing what is going on … Continue reading Switching Operating Systems
Begin Anywhere
Because I am a Capricorn and kinda anal, I have this tendency to want to begin at the beginning and give all the backstory to a situation. Thing is, I hate it when other people do this and would prefer if they just jumped in at the middle, or started from the end and worked … Continue reading Begin Anywhere
