Tatts
“What tattoo do you want and where would you put it?” None! No tattoos is the new tattoo. On second thought, I’d get matching ones with my kids if we ever get around to it and they still want to! 😀 Don’t get me wrong, I think they look cool when there’s a whole lot…

Curious
“What is one word that describes you?” I’m a curious kind of person. I’ve been that way as long as I can remember. The other day (Sunday to be specific) I decided to get some type of beef roast. I wanted to try our new crockpot that I had gotten for Christmas since my old…

Strategic Sundays or… How I Use Baking and Heavy Metal to Cope With Negative Feelings (Like the Sunday Scaries)
I’m a big metal fan. Wait, not that kind of fan. 😛 The other kind. The kind that loves spending a Saturday night in a small venue with the drums and guitar so loud I can feel it in my soul. (Yes, I wear earplugs). Recently I got to see Rivers of Nihil– and WOW.…

Change/Theory Part II
If you work in healthcare (or even if you don’t), you have most certainly seen your share of changes in the workplace! In the last article on change theory, I talked about the different reasons why people resist change. There are many. Like this one- I DON’T WANT TO! (insert temper tantrum/crocodile tears). This time,…

Three Things…
“What are three objects you couldn’t live without?” The things I could not live without: My coffeepot. It’s a Cuisinart. White. You can set it to brew at whatever time you program into it. Currently, it is loaded for tomorrow because I need it to start at 545 am. Haven’t gotten into the keurigs. Have…

Growth
“What experiences in life helped you grow the most?” There are a couple that come to mind. The birth of my kids. This helped me become a more mature person who got really involved in her community. Because of my kids, I got involved with support groups and helped to start a few. I owe…

Goodbyes
“Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to” I’m middle-aged, so I’ve been through quite a few life phases. Some were not so hard to let go of… teenage years (goodbye and good riddance). My partying, early twenties… My thirties… I feel like I hit my stride during my 40s but…

Eat Everything (?!)
That’s right. Everything. That’s what I heard one of my coworkers say not too long ago. Did I mention that she’s a registered dietitian? And it really did ring true to me. I loved that she was saying that. What does it mean to eat everything? Pretty much what it sounds like. As in- yes,…

Ambition
Describe the most ambitious DIY project you’ve ever taken on. I’ve had my share of ambition. A few of the most ambitious DIY projects- Covering this enormous pizza oven at my old house (my ex had built it) completely in mosaic tiles. Having a home birth (with midwives). Changing a tire. Fixing my sink (I…

Banned
If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why? I’m not much for banning words… comes too close to banning books in my mind, for some reason. And there’s a slight problem- just because you ban the word doesn’t mean you ban the actual thing that is that…
