It’s Snowing on My Blog

My blog is snowing.  I don't know how I feel about it.  I tried to remember if I had it last year, or not.  I tinkered with the layout of my blog so much, I can't keep track of things like snow, much less write something. Over my lunch hour I took my journal and … Continue reading It’s Snowing on My Blog

The Tally: NaBloPoMo So-So While NaNoWriMo A Total No-No

Tomorrow is the last day of November.  It means people feverishly writing those last words to 50,000 for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month).  For others it's the last day of blog posting NaBLoPoMo (National Blog Posting Month).  Remember my post about doing both as 'sane'? I take that back. Let me clarify:  It's more sane … Continue reading The Tally: NaBloPoMo So-So While NaNoWriMo A Total No-No

How do I love this post, let me count the three ways. I fooled around some of the themes, thinking I needed a change. What I really needed was more tweaking. This post saved me mucho time messing around. A big 'Thank You' to the Word Press posse. Nothing makes a Winnipegger's heart sing like … Continue reading

Mindful Sitting and Hobbits

I graduated from 'in pain' to 'discomfort' in the back department.  The injury forced me to sit fully in a chair, rather than on the edge.  Everyone sits on a chair's edge, I am no exception.  I just have to commit my ample rear-end fully to a chair.  My back will thank me for it.  … Continue reading Mindful Sitting and Hobbits

Midweek Geekiness: Odds and Ends on a Sore Back

I will never, ever take sitting for granted.  I only hope to hang onto this memory, not forget it until the next time my back goes out.  It's not a great feeling to wish on anyone.  For now allow me to share a few things gleaned from the interweb, and other sundry sources. Who Knew … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Odds and Ends on a Sore Back

In Pain Yet Happy

The 'pain' alluded in my topic line involves one sore back.  I threw it out by simply getting off the chair.  I occasionally have these back spasms, the kind reducing me to the mobility of a 90 year-old woman.  After gingerly getting dressed, I went to my local Superstore to get something for the pain.  … Continue reading In Pain Yet Happy

Midweek Geekiness: Is It December Yet?

The Walking Dead premiered to huge ratings.  (No surprise.)  It means choosing another new countdown to grace my side bar.  What will it be? I thought.  I remembered the Thorin Oakenshield wallpaper on my work computer and iPod Touch.  Therefore a countdown to The Hobbit:  An Unexpected Journey begins.  It's mostly due to imaginary boyfriend … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Is It December Yet?

The Snow Fell Now the Challenge Begins

The low came, it dumped, and now we have some sunlight.  For my run clinic, and this reluctant leader, the real challenge begins.  I have to get my bum out the door, even if it feels cold.  How did I do this last time?  Oh, yes, I had a half-marathon to train for and this … Continue reading The Snow Fell Now the Challenge Begins

Plugging Away

At this present moment I work on my half of a presentation for my Thursday class.  What am I taking? you ask.  The course is called Supervisory Skills for Women.  Basically take all the leadership skills in a workplace through a female lens.  I did well on my test for the class, now it's time … Continue reading Plugging Away
