Matt Damon's Worst Nightmare

Remember a few weeks ago when Matt Damon voiced his concerns about Sarah Palin? He said her nomination for vice president was like “a really bad Disney movie.”

Well, someone took the bait and made this video. I think even Palin supporters will be able to see the humor in this.

The lamest post ever

So now that I have the days to myself and the kids I find myself turning into my mother. Not in the way she acted or crazy things she did, but in the obsessive cleaning department. Never before did I get why she would clean the house just about every day even if it was just a drastic let's pick up around the house. Today as I ran the laundry up and down the stairs and took care of the kids I realized just how much work she really did and why she had her cranky moments. I tried to tell her thank… Continue

Beating a Dead Horse

Why is the human condition such that we continually make choices that have the same undesired result. Exhibit A: the small, M'nM cookie I just inhaled is wreaking havoc with my digestive system. I ate the same cookie last night with the same result. If there were any left after my sugar binge, I am sure I would do the same thing tomorrow. Exhibit B: my husband works like a dog, gets sick, goes to bed, feels a little better, gets up, works like a dog, gets sick (worse, mind you), goes to bed.… Continue

Is Being A Mom Really This Hard?

A friend of mine and I were recently discussing how difficult we've found being new mommies. Our most recent conversation on this never-ending subject began because the clock is ticking again and we're thinking "Can we really do this again? Have another one?"

Both of us have one child just on either side of one year old and we both hold full time jobs. And before we became mommies we were both pretty active socially and in our community. Now we seem to only be able to make it to work… Continue

AMBER Alerts

I struggled a bit with whether or not I should post about tools to help recover our kids should they ever be abducted. I feel like its one of those things we can ignore, sweep under the rug, and hope never happens. Or, we can dialogue and be informed. So, here it is.

The internet, text messaging, and our online communities are some of the quickest ways to disseminate information in emergency situations. When a child is abducted, the kind of quick response we see on the web is… Continue

Eating Disorder or Just Starving?

I already know my answer...but a lot of women out there have no idea about theirs. For 12 years, I struggled with my weight, I binged, I purged, I didn’t eat, I suffered from chronic IBS, bloating, gas and pain, all I thought about was food, I loathed my body, I loathed myself.

At the time, I had several dietary rules/beliefs:

1. Eat as little fat as possible.

2. No dairy.

3. No meat.

4. Non-fat frozen yogurt doesn’t count as anything.

5. If it comes from the… Continue

SnapFish, PhotoBucket, Picasa?

Hey all! I was thinking about polling this on my blog - but I want more responses then just votes. :) I am currently using SnapFish for personal photos, and I love the fact that my pictures can't be seen by anyone unless they have a code that has to be given to them by me. However, I am not a huge fan of the fact that they have to join SnapFish to see them. I have a lot of family members who aren't so computer savvy and so they miss out. :( I haven't looked too much i nto PhotoBucket - but I do… Continue

I should probably post a blog about myself

I should probably post a blog about myself, shouldn't I?

I currently work two jobs, one as a consultant for Cookie Lee, and one as a feedback editor for a software company in Portland, OR. I'm currently looking for a third job while I get my business off the ground. I'm always looking for people to join my Cookie Lee team, so if there's anyone out there looking for a rewarding job opportunity-- it doesn't matter what part of the country you live in, it doesn't matter whether you have… Continue

Today - Day 6

So inspired this morning. Despite my crappy eating yesterday, my workouts have been so good and the other days eating has been on track that the scale moved in the right direction this morning!! Couldn't have pumped me up more for my day!! I don't get on the scale but once a week usually, the day of my check in with my nutritionist, but today I did...Extra! And thank GOD it was a good thing. Had it been the other way, I might have spiraled out of control with junk food today. Whew!! Love the… Continue

Work Vent

I'm pretty sure this is the only place I can vent about my office because there are no other mom's here. So, I should safe rambaling off the fact it drives me nuts that our office hours are 9 - 5 (FYI salaried staff also have a paid 1 hour lunch) so why the hell is it so hard to arrive on time?? It seeems people start rolling in at about 9:15, then they make a cup of coffee or something to eat in the kitchen, turn on their computer, back to the kitchen, chatting in the art department on the… Continue

Any Book Recommendations?

Hello all...any recommendations for books I can read to my little guy (almost 3)? We love Curious George and I read those to him at night. I am just not sure what other books are out there that he would enjoy.

Thanks.

Daycare blues part 2

Today was an awful drop off. I just don't know how to walk away and not feel total sadness.... The baby is as happy as can be, he smiles and laughs at everyone and has no problem going right to someone else. Ironically, I am happy and sad at the same time!

While my 2 year old cries and cries and cries when I say goodbye. The hard part is, he never cries. Not even when he has a large rock dropped on his hand which breaks his finger! So, its extra hard for me to see him in tears because I… Continue

Intervals

I LOVE intervals

This morning i did ....

A 2 minute warm up, just walking on the track.

Then i got on the treadmill and did 10 sets of the following

Walk 4mph 1 minute and then run 9.5mph 1 minute 10 times for each !!!!!

I love the fact that i am done the actual workout in 20 minutes and i have pushed my body hard.

You really do not have to do intervals at such a high intensity when you are starting out, as long as… Continue
