Taking Control Of My Hair

June 6, 2011

Well, hair we are again. Yet another post about my hair. Last week, I was straightening up the house while listening to my iPod and I heard a song that took me back to 1986. That was the year that Janet Jackson released her hit single, Control. That song just so happened to be the song that was [...]

Thursday Thirteen – Smiles

February 10, 2011

I have six or seven drafts ready for Thursday thirteen but each Wednesday when I’m deciding which one to use, none of them seem to grab me. So, today I thought we’d talk about thirteen things that make me smile. 1. When dropping Stevie off at school this morning, the gym teacher commented that he [...]

Engaged In A Fierce Battle

January 12, 2011

Back in 2008, I joined the YMCA near our house and started on a weight-loss journey. My goal was to lose a pound of week for forever as long as it took to get healthy. I stayed with it hot and heavy for 25 weeks. I lost 25 pounds and it felt good knowing that [...]

A Whole Lot Of Nothing

September 9, 2010

It’s one of those mornings where I would welcome genuine adult conversation. McDaddy left on a business trip to Canton, Ohio before I ever even rolled over, Stevie is at school, and Alex is busy playing with McDaddy’s vintage Hot Wheels service center. I am in my big, blue, bloggy chair watching Dr. Phil. Yes, I said, [...]

40 Things Before 40

July 2, 2010

While sitting around the campfire tonight, we talked briefly about the bucket list. I don’t really have a bucket list, but I do spend a fair amount of time thinking of things I would like to do before I um, you know, pass. This isn’t necessarily a bucket list, because? Hello? I’m already 36 and these are [...]

Four Days A Month

May 11, 2010

If you’ve spent any amount of time around here at Inmates, Inc. you know that I’ve started the great weight-loss effort of 2010. Which happens to be a continuation of the great weigh-loss effort of 2008. Or something like that. For the next seventeen seconds, do me a favor and forget that little tidbit? Because this thing [...]

Just Some Random Stuff I Learned This Week

May 10, 2010

 I’ve had one of those days. You know the days of which I speak. The day where your iPhone freezes (and you are sure it is deader than 4′oclock), you lose a diamond out of your (4 month old) wedding ring while having it cleaned at the jeweler – who refuses to assume responsibility thank [...]

What I Learned This Week [At The Gym]

April 26, 2010

 Yesterday, I was on the elliptical machine at the Y, listening to my iPod, minding my own business. That is, minding my business as much as one can at a gym. The fact is that I don’t really like to talk when I’m gettin’ my grove on at the gym.   For starters, I am typically experiencing [...]

Another Edition of Not Me! Monday

April 25, 2010

It’s Monday and as you know that means another edition of Not Me! Monday. You know, as in the first day of the week, Monday. Laundry day. The day where I admit to doing all kinds of goofy and embarrassing stuff. Not that I ever do anything goofy, or embarrassing. No. Not me.  It wasn’t me who [...]

Thursday Thirteen – Workout Tunes

April 21, 2010

It has begun. Or is it began? The Great Weight Loss Effort of 2010 is underway. On Sunday, I spent the better part of an hour on iTunes purchasing some new workout tunes. Because really what motivates a person to work out more than a good tune. Well, besides the stinkin’ scale of course. But [...]
