Morning,
Well! As I had earlier reported, this morning I did the P90x Legs and Back DVD, along with Ab Ripper X. Great stuff, that….and by 9am, I was at the gym with my husband, ready to do my 55 minutes of treadmill cardio.
That went rather peachy, I must admit. Then I […]

Morning,
Have you ever heard of “emo”? Apparently it’s a breed of kids today who have certain, ahem, unique mannerisms and ways of having, hmmmm, “fun.”
I was just directed to
How To Be Emo

I will admit, most amusing indeed!
Enjoy,
Barbara
ps - Emo stuff? Here they are!

Morning,
You know, I’m 43 years old.
And for many of my fellow moms, that’s considered to be, well, not exactly young.
Thing is, though, I’ve been realizing as I’ve pitted myself against my abilities and broke thru countless boundaries this year….age is but a number. You could be in your 70s but still have the […]

Morning,
Hope your holidays have been perfectly peachy!
In this season, the season of gift giving, one thing that always makes me quietly chuckle is this.
When you do take the time to give a special gift for someone…and that someone neglects to appreciate it….do you feel mad? Unappreciated?
Back in my earlier years, I know I […]

Morning!
For everyone who celebrates Christmas, have a super happy holiday and an awesomely relaxing week!
We plan on visiting the family and traveling to the Chinese buffet for the holiday dinner. I love going there for holiday occassions - great food that my kids actually *eat*, and no dishes I have to wash! […]

Morning all,
Well, I’m one thrilled individual!
Last year on this day, I was approximately 174 pounds or so on a 5′3.5″ frame. I say “approximately” because I couldn’t bear to weigh myself at that time…I only weighed myself several weeks later.
Today, I’m officially 129 pounds!
To say I’m psyched is a weeee bit of an […]

Morning,
Well! In 7 days, it will be Christmas. And if you celebrate that particular holiday, chances are, you’re quite in the market for excellent holiday discounts. But how can you find them online?
Glad you asked! Here are some of my favorite resources.

Morning,
Life is joyous.
Back in the summer, one of our karate senseis showed up a rather killer pushup that my kids named ‘habanero pushups’ (mainly because your muscles burn when you’ve completed them).
Actually, they’re simply pushups with your hands close by your sides so it works your triceps. Thing is, though, back then….I […]

Morning,
One of the most devastating things that can happen to your child is being on the receiving end of bullying. It can utterly decimate a child’s view of himself or herself…and lead to more and more difficulties down the road towards maturity.
Personally, I hate bullies…and would gladly take great pleasure in sending them […]

Morning,
Well, it’s almost 1am and I cannot sleep. There is a slight (oh so slight!) possibility that I might have overdone my physical therapy a weeeeee bit (about as “weeeee” as a redwood tree) early today.
Today, all I did (really!) was unassisted chinups thru the day (I can do 3 at a shot, […]
