When we last left off with my seemingly never ending weight struggle, I had learned that some medicine I'd been on might be the culprit. That was last August. In October, I finally changed doctors and started from scratch, trying to find some answers to this problem. By then, I'd gained about 20 lbs...

I am mightily irritated. Too many weeks and months of taking other people's shit has resulted in today, where I feel ready to slap a few people around yell at them: "Get over yourself and all your ridiculous drama already!!!!"I know I can be as self-involved as the next person, but I can't help but ...

I spent almost three hours in the ATL airport terminal yesterday waiting for my flight back home. I caught up on work, piddled around on Facebook, and did a whole lotta people watching. At one point, I became acutely aware of all the random thoughts buzzing through my head at lightning speed.So, wha...

The light of my life is, lately, a total pain in my ass. My God, people, this child is testing every possible limit, and I am tired of the high drama going on at Casa de Tere. The problem is two-fold: 1) he is too much like me in temperament, and 2) my patience quickly diminishes to shit, which is c...

It always goes down pretty much the same way: I make a joke about men, or being single, or something around that topic, and the other person - a friend, my sister, my mom - will tell me I'm full of shit for being so pessimistic because there's no reason why, at 31, I would remain single forever. The...

Let's all heave a quick sigh of relief: my stress is temporarily abated. For now, it doesn't feel like it's going to choke the life out of me; it's acting like it's happy to hang around in the background, doing a delicate dance of coming up too strong and close, then pulling back when I'm about to l...

Over the course of the last eight or so months, I have had dozens (at least, but probably more like thousands) of conversations with family, friends, even - to a lesser degree - co-workers and acquaintances, about all the shit going on in my life. With some people, the conversations have been very d...

I've been so incredibly stressed out that it looks like I've gone and given myself an ulcer. Or some kind of gastric illness that is making my life a living hell, what with the constant nausea and acid reflux. Not sure yet what it is, but I'm sure the specialist I'm seeing next week will let me know...

Trimakasih ya Tuhan atas segala yang telah kau berikan padaku… Trimakasih atas semuanya… Orang tua yang selalu menjagaku, membimbingku, menyayangiku… Keluarga yang selalu mensupport aku… Teman-teman yang selalu ada menemaniku… Thanks a lot! Ya Tuhan.. Hari demi hari kul...

I always know I've been watching too much Lifetime TV when I find myself fantasizing about randomly crossing paths with a handsome, slightly older man who's well-adjusted and emotionally stable. By the time I'm picturing us holding hands as we walk through a snowy park, Max running ahead of us, him ...
