Mostly news stories or articles of interest in the future to me. I'll eventually get around to adding my own ideas and stories on a more regular basis.

    I'm really in a bit of a funk.  I stopped dieting and working out for almost two weeks (except for dog walks and Monday step class) and I've put on almost 10 pounds.  Now, I know it would come off just as fast, but DANG!  You would think this realization would bbe motivation enough to do better, but...not so far.  I mean it's enough to make me say to myself, "girl, you need to get your ass in line," but not necessarily to do it. 

    It's not really just about eating. It's about spending time out of the office getting ahead on my career (and making better use of my time there).  It's about spending time keeping up with those folks that aren't close by.  It's about getting my life in order. 

    Sometimes, I just don't think I'm doing such a great job.
