Confessions of a Workaholic

When I googled “Workaholics Anonymous” I was only half-joking. Last week was my first serious effort to break free from the pit that mires me. Like any addiction, she calls to me, tempting me with her siren song. I want to understand her better. There have been times when I’ve succumbed to the addiction because [...]

Welcome 2010, it’s going to be a good year.

Last year I began an exercise regimen that successfully stopped the horrific weight gain (20 pounds!) that plagued me during 2008. Although I was able to stop the trend, I’m still sporting the extra pounds. Other accomplishments of note include surviving the 1st year of employment in a start-up working for my old employer and, [...]

Wednesday Wants

When I got the e-mail from NaBloPoMo, I ignored it. Later my sister prodded me and with all of about 3 seconds of consideration I signed up. The theme this month is “WANT.” Ironically, I blog because I want to be a writer and to be a writer one must write. The more I blog, [...]
