Things My Body Loves

February 29, 2012

Tonight I hope to attend a lecture at my school by a sex therapist who goes by the name of Juicy Justine.  As part of NEDA week, she is going to be discussing sexual pleasure and body image and I’m really excited to hear what she has to say.  With my closer friends, talking about [...]

I NEDA Change: The Beginning of NEDA Week 2012

February 27, 2012

The snooze button is simultaneously the best and worst invention.  It’s great because it can give you those precious extra five minutes or it can be that annoying sound that you turn off with semi-consciousness and then oversleep by two hours like I did this morning.  I blame the Oscars. Despite my late start, I [...]

Shrek Juice and Too Much Fire

February 25, 2012

I woke up today feeling really ready to take on the day.  I got a little bit of work done, talked to my parents, made some arrangements for spring break, and then made a great lunch before my energy workshop.  Today I made perhaps what is the best concoction yet in my Vitamix.  I call [...]

“Are you a carbon sample? Because I want to date you.”

February 24, 2012

I’ll be honest, the true way to my heart is through intellectual pick up lines.  Nothing tickles my fancy like a good Kant or Hume joke, and recently anthropological pick up lines like: “Did it hurt when you fell from your culture’s dogmatic view of an afterlife?”  This stems from an inside joke between one [...]

My 100th Post: Things I’ve Learned While Blogging

February 23, 2012

100 posts.  I can’t believe it.  Not to make too big a deal out of this, but I am quite surprised that I made it to this many posts.  I remember when I first started reading blogs and seeing bloggers reach milestone posts like this and wondering what it would be like if I were [...]

Thesis Goals and Managing a Busy Week While Sick

February 23, 2012

I think I have had very few non-busy weeks in college so to say I’ve been having a busy week isn’t saying much.  One thing I hate is when people try to “out busy” each other by comparing the amount of work they have to do.  The truth is, everyone works at different paces, has [...]

Creating a Life with a Slash

February 22, 2012

If you struggle with accepting yourself, comparing yourself, and thinking you aren’t good enough because you have been trying to live up to the expectations of others, then the book The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown is the book for you! I posted a long, long time ago that I was reading this book and [...]

1 Year “Adoptiversary” with my Little Gremlin

February 21, 2012

It was exactly a year ago today that I fell in love with this little guy:   I had been going to my local animal shelter nearly twice a week to try and find a dog I could call my own.  It wasn’t that I didn’t love our family dog, Lacy, it was just that [...]

To Walk or Not to Walk?

February 20, 2012

Things are getting real now.  February is almost over and I only have a few weeks left to finish a complete draft of my thesis.  I have two other papers due for another class and besides reading, that is the remainder of my work for my undergraduate career.  In less than 3 months I’ll be [...]

Sing, Cry, Laugh: Three Positive Ways to Emotionally Rebalance

February 19, 2012

I must start off today’s post wishing my niece a very happy first birthday! Lina, I can’t believe how much you have grown and I love you more and more each day.  I say this with absolute sincerity, it was her birthday party yesterday that was probably the best time I’ve had in months.  Having [...]
