So today, the big-wigs at work sprang a big surprise on everyone.  Everything that we’ve heard is that the company I work for has been doing well.  However, today there was a meeting with the 2 people that founded the company and the current CEO.  They’re doing a merger with 2 other companies, our sister [...]

Monday night, I turned my back on my 19 month old son for a few minutes (less than 5 minutes tops) and he picked up a tin can from the trash.  He got his finger stuck in between the lid and the side and cut his finger.  I got the bleeding to stop and put [...]

I’ve been doing a lot of extra writing lately.  It makes it difficult to keep up with the updates some weeks.  I’ve also been reading a weight loss blog on the NewsOK website (http://www.newsok.com/fat-to-fit).  It’s rather interesting to see someone else’s point of view on weight loss.
I did find out today that a knitting needle [...]

Someone said something, that I’ve heard over and over the last couple of weeks.  I don’t remember offhand who said it, but it basically goes ‘doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of insanity’
Guess it’s time to change what I’m doing, otherwise my results will be the same.

Ok, so this is a few weeks old at this point, but I got a kick out of reading it on Slashdot when it first came out.  http://politics.slashdot.org/firehose.pl?op=view&type=story&sid=10/02/16/2346202 I even went to the source and read some of the first and second report written by the IPCC, or at least the parts that were referenced [...]

I’m not one for New Year’s resolutions because I feel like if I’m not going to start today, I’m not going to start Jan 1, but I do have goals for the coming year(s).
I’m giving myself a deadline of Jul 2014 to reach my goal weight.  That seems like a long time, but if I [...]

Like it’s not obvious with not being on the MUD recently, I haven’t been around much.  I’m working toward being able to post more frequently again.  Until then, you can check out my articles on the Examiner.com website   I think I posted a link to the side.  If not, there are several posted [...]

Ok, so maybe not any lions or tigers.
I’m sure you’ve all heard of the big scare for the swine flu lately.  There’s a varying number of dead, mostly in Mexico, with one Mexican toddler who died here in the US.  I don’t mean to sound callous, but it’s hard to get worried about this one.  [...]

It’s been rather difficult for me to post lately.  The area that everyone was saying wasn’t going to be affected has been affected pretty badly.  The company my husband works for laid off 25 people.  Another company in town laid off over 200, and oil wells are closing down.  It’s become as bleak here as [...]

Ok, so I forgot to wish everyone a happy Pi Day.  Though as Steve and I were commenting tonight, it won’t be a true Pi day until 3/14/15 (get it 3.1415 LOL).  Ok, we’re geeks.  Though I guess I can’t say too much according to one of Adam Savage’s tweets this morning (link here opens [...]
