From Non-Mom to Psuedo-Mom in 3 hours

This last month has been a roller coaster.  As you may recall, in my last post, I was both happy and hating everyone who easily gets pregnant.  Again, thrilled for my friends who are starting and expanding their families, but sad and angry at my own body’s inability to produce a single child. Well, things…

A Day that will Live in Infamy…

A year ago today, I felt like crap.  That wasn’t really anything out of the norm for me.  After spending three years in and out of the hospital without much hope for feeling better permanently, I had gotten used to feeling terrible. But this time, it was a little different.  Honestly, I didn’t feel any…

Procrastination Nation

Ah, procrastination.  That giant word that becomes the bane of my existence.  I am a total procrastinator.  Not out of choice, really.  Every personality test I have ever taken in life (and I have taken a lot, being a Psychologist and all) puts me clearly into the super-outgoing-friendly-with-the-attention-span-of-a-gnat category.  Let’s just say, I have trouble…

Too Pretty for Homework

Lately, my social media outlets have been crowded by this “Too Pretty for Homework” t-shirt slogan that has all the mom-blogs in an uproar.  As you know, this is no mommy blog.  However, when I see things like this out there, it makes my feminist vibe shoot straight up my spine and practically sprout antennae…

Day Zero

So, everybody knows there is a prep week day that goes into any new dieting plan.  Even a lifestyle change.  We know that we cannot possible be successful when we have things like tempting snack foods and high calorie sodas lying around.  My question to you is this – What do you do with the…

Jumping in Feet First

Last week was a real struggle for me.  I had some health problems and landed (again) in the hospital for the better part of the week.  But this past week was also significant because it was the last week of my short-term disability at work, and I had to make a decision. Do I go…

Relief is spelled T-U-R-B-O

Alright, so by now you have probably figured out that I have a problem with anxiety.  Always have, and probably always will to some extent.  It is one of the worst feelings I can imagine, especially for a control freak like me.  I hate the feeling of being out of control (a large part of…

An Open Letter to My Stomach

Dear Tummy, I am speaking to you, the tummy on the inside.  We will get to the tummy on the outside later.  I wish to tell you that you suck, and I am really tired of you being so temperamental all the time.  I understand that you are closely tied to my anxiety issues, but…

Happy Healthy New Year

Normally, at the beginning or ending of a new year, I like to do a little recap of that year.  This year, I have decided to spare my readers from reliving the angst.  Because this year is about getting better – Physically, Mentally, Emotionally, and Spiritually.  I have learned a lot this past year about…

All’s Not Quiet in Liztopia

It’s a funny thing, taking control of your life.  One day you are just going along and BAM! No, it wasn’t Emeril… it was inspiration.  It was the knowledge that something else, something potentially better was waiting.  And all you have to do is take the leap. And the leap, my friends, is scary as…
