No Chavez Graphic on Google?
Uh, Google! I'm disappointed that there's no reference to Cesar Chavez' birthday on your homepage today!
Happy Cesar Chavez’ Birthday!
I'm going to see the new movie Cesar Chavez tonight. It's about one of the great Mexican American civil rights activists. My family is very excited about this film.
Non-Anniversary
Tuesday, March 25th would have been my sixth wedding anniversary, but the divorce was final on 7 February, so this is my first non-anniversary. I wasn't expecting this week to be so hard, but I keep remembering what I was doing six years ago. Thinking about Bob makes...
Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself Update
Joe Dispenza's book Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One has been instrumental to me. I've been using his accompanying recorded guided meditation to clear decades-long self-hatred, old resentment and anger towards my mother...
My Mouth Hurts
My second gum graft was on Wednesday, March 19. Day 1 - On the day of the procedure, the only discomfort was getting the anesthesia. For the rest of the appointment and day I was either numb or on 800 mg. ibuprofen. Ice cream for dinner. Day 2 - Stayed on the 800 mg....
I Go Up and Down. Here’s Down.
Do you ever get tired of being yourself? Do you ever think, "I don't want to be me anymore?" I get so sick of being me. I get SO sick of being me. I'm not the only one, right?
Still Damn Busy
I have two jobs now: the full-time job I've had for five years and plan to stay in for 10 or 20 more, and my brand new Arbonne business. This has made me too busy to blog! All I can do right now are bullet points. 1. Hit my first month's goal of $1,000 in sales for...
Don’t Blame the Weather
So all these Chicagoans choose to live in Chicago, but rather than accept winter as part of the bargain, they complain about it. Why? My theory is that there are other things in their lives they're unhappy with, but they focus on the weather because it's easier to get...
The Twilight Zone
Recently I realized that I don't watch enough programming to justify having subscriptions to both HuluPlus and Netflix. For as little time and attention span as I have for watching entertainment on a screen, it made no sense for me to pay for both, even though they...
Busy Backson
It's been almost two weeks since I last posted. This is what my life has been full of: 1. My regular full-time job. 2. My new part-time job as an Arbonne consultant! (Consultant ID: 19557175) 3. Classic episodes of The Twilight Zone that I watch on Hulu.com. (Mostly...
Post-Divorce Valentine’s Day
It's Valentine's Day. I finalized my divorce last Friday. I had oral surgery on Tuesday and sometimes my mouth hurts. But I'm still in a good mood. Happy Day!
Don’t Be Afraid of Oral Surgery
My gum graft surgery went well yesterday. A gum graft takes flesh from the roof of the mouth and grafts it into the gumline where it’s needed (I’ve scrubbed away part of my gums by brushing my teeth too hard). The only pain was when the periodontist injected me...
