A Long Time

Sunday, March 25th, 2007

This weekend I’ve been doing something I haven’t done in a long time - a decent spring cleaning of the house.  Lately I’ve done mostly a few minor chores to keep the mess from becoming too bad, but things have become so dirty, dusty, and cluttered that I just couldn’t take the ickiness (if that’s […]

Return to the Land of the Living

Sunday, March 18th, 2007

After having spent a majority of the past week trying to kick a harsh cold, I’m working my way back into my hectic schedule.  I mentioned in an earlier post that the best part about being sick is when I start feeling well again - and I think the weather accompanying my current return to […]

Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig!

Saturday, March 17th, 2007

That’s the Gaelic for “Happy St. Patrick’s Day” for non-speakers.  Despite the fact that I’m probably 3/4 Irish (my mother was born and raised in Dublin and I’ve heard that I may also have Irish on my father’s side of the family), I know very little Gaelic and I probably couldn’t correctly pronounce the words […]

I’m Not Crazy, I’m Just a Little Unwell

Monday, March 12th, 2007

Yes, we’ve come to that time of year again…cold and flu season.  This is the time of year when everyone spends a lot of time stuck indoors together passing around germs, either at work or school, and most of us eventually get some form of illness.  Thanks to a couple of my daughter’s college instructors, […]

A Minor Change

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007

As you might have noticed, I changed my header from Jane of All Trades to A Woman on the Edge.  The update reflects how I feel about my life most of the time - and my tag line says it all: “Follow Through Isn’t the Problem - Follow Up Is.”  My life has become a […]

Busy, Busy, Busy

Monday, March 5th, 2007

While I managed to get in some walking over the weekend, I’m still having trouble taking my regular breaks at work and I’ve really got to start pushing myself to do that more often now that the weather is getting so nice.
The sun has been shining, the birds are singing, the flowers are poking through […]

Everybody’s Working for the Weekend

Saturday, March 3rd, 2007

This song title has never been more true.  For some reason, this past week was very exhausting on the work front and so I’ve decided to do a lot of reading this weekend to relax (and because I’ve got a bunch of library books due soon).  If the weather cooperates, I plan to do some […]

Workercize

Friday, March 2nd, 2007

The week has ended and I’m now feeling like a limp rag for some reason.  I’ve been working in my “new” job for over six months and this is the first time I’ve felt so wrung out so I’m not sure what I’m doing differently, but something is making all my muscles very sore and […]

Marching On

Thursday, March 1st, 2007

We’re in to the third month of the year as of today and life’s going on pretty much the same as usual.  While I’m doing pretty well on the dietary front, I haven’t been as motivated to get out and exercise as I should so I need to work on that portion of my health […]
