Counting down…

So, I’m officially in the last three days of my Spring Break. I’ve been pleasantly lazy, working on absolutely nothing and getting to bed at a reasonable hour every night. I’ve enjoyed being unproductive, but I don’t want to end my Spring Break without accomplishing something, so I’m going to call on my followers here…

A Photo in The Flowerbed

As I was walking through my neighborhood a few weeks ago, I stumbled across this photo sitting in the flowerbed. There were no houses nearby, just shops and an elementary school, so I had no idea where it had come from. I didn’t pick up the picture, but I stared at it for several minutes,…

The Short Doc: Memoirs of a Yo-Yo Dieter

For those of you that follow both of my blogs, I apologize that you’re seeing this post twice. I promised myself that if I went through with it and created this documentary on my eating disorder, I’d share it with the world. If you’re going to do anything in life, do it well and do…

Offer is IN!

Ahhhhhhhhhhh! We did it! I just scanned the million-page document in and formally submitted an offer for Dream House Numero Uno. They have until the close of business day tomorrow to respond; that feels like a year from now. I’m practically hyperventilating with anticipation over here. You’d think the second time around it wouldn’t be…

BREAK!

It’s official! I’m on Winter Break! I feel like a child, celebrating the vacation from school with a level of enthusiasm that would put religious zealots to shame. Last night, with no assignments or due dates to worry about, I took my time at the gym [10 miles in 90 minutes!], made a nice dinner,…
