The Trigger Something triggers you to join a gym. New Year's, or a desire to finally do it, or a picture, either of someone who did do it, or a picture of yourself, and you are shocked at how you changed so much without noticing. There's a gym by your work, or by your house, or next to a s[...]
I've been very interested in travel recently, but it made me start thinking - what about being a tourist in my own area? It seems pretty convenient since I'm already in the area. I decided to check out a local museum that I didn't even know was here, despite walking past it several times. [...]
My fall is getting more and more packed. I think this may end up being one of the busiest falls I've ever had. But, that's totally fine, it finally feels like I'm a full blown adult, planning out my life months in advance. Who knew that eventually that would happen?! So, here are some awesome hig[...]
I read an article a few months ago, Is My Relationship with My Trainer Normal? It annoyed me greatly at the time, and I thought about it again recently as I've been searching for a new trainer, and customer service has been on my mind a lot. To me, this article basically amounts to a traine[...]
I, unfortunately, wasn't there for it. Luckily his breeder was happy to pass along photos. What a little cutie! I commented that he seemed to be taking it well... she said yes, he's sedated. Well, that explains it! In Stu related news, it seems his hernia is getting bigger. I cou[...]
I took a talent assessment test a few months ago through my work. It was to identify my skills so I could best leverage them at work. My strongest skill was "Futuristic." I'm a planner. I think ahead. I can't just think of what the next step is, I need to think of what the next 5 steps are. [...]
I rarely get my hair done because I don't like sitting in a chair for many hours upon hours, and also having to pay at the end. My hair gets pretty long between appointments (usually hiding split ends fairly well). My approaching travel triggered an urge to get it done. I work in a fairly casual[...]
Another successful weekend of clearing! Progress is becoming more and more apparent, and it is looking like a turn out space, instead of a mess of scrubby trees. We (the amazing team that I can't believe is actually showing up to do this) cleared out a huge dead tree that had fallen, three scrubby h[...]
A while back, I started up Whole 30. I meant to post a more weekly update of what was going on, but let's be serious - I didn't have much to say and it would have been super boring. But, now that it's been several weeks I thought I'd provide an update. Yes, I kept with it to the bitter end of tho[...]
I feel like I only talk about one thing these days...and I have good news, I'm not going to write a lengthy post about him! Instead, here's a post made up mostly by some of the dozens of photos of Stu during his recent inspection. I feel like they will go to waste if I don't post them. &nb[...]
