My Focus for 2011: Family, Friends & Fitness

1.2.11

2010 was a crazy year for me.  Between work (and work travel), the breakneck pace of preparing for Blogalicious Weekend, and Chatterbox and Giggles entering new - and VERY ACTIVE - schools, my candle was being burned at both ends.  I spent most of the year feeling like I was ...

New York at Christmas

12.7.10

Lately I've really been trying to prioritize my life in terms of putting the really important things first: family, friends, my health to name a few.  I was sharing this sentiment with a girlfriend of mine last week and lamented that I hadn't yet seen my close girlfriend's baby (and ...

#FootballWidow

11.1.10

When football season began a few weeks ago, I felt this impending sense of dread; deep down I knew that I would "lose" my husband until January.  I remember joking about it with some other gals on Twitter about it at the time who felt the same way.  Fast forward ...

My weddings rings have magically reappeared

10.26.10

I found my wedding rings over the weekend after they’ve been missing for almost three years.  I thought they were stolen because I couldn’t remember “losing” them, but I guess they were placed in a box for safe keeping but whomever placed it in the box didn’t tell me and ...

Are we negotiating our way out of marriage?

10.18.10

By now you've probably seen or heard of the latest video sensation "Black Marriage Negotiations." Well this video and the ensuing discussion around my office couldn't have come at a more opportune time.  Hubby and I are going through a pretty rough patch right now and it was enlightening for ...

Anatomy of a Stupid Argument

9.8.10

I know you've had them. You know, those dumb arguments with your spouse about trivial things that you would be embarrassed to even mention to anyone else? The arguments that you can't even remember how they got started? Yeah. So here's ours from this morning: Hubby:  [Looking at the 2 family-sized cans ...

It's Day 3 of the Thank You Mom project, sponsored by P&G, and I'm excited to introduce Lorraine of Ask Wifey to those of you who may not know her.  My experience with Lorraine is different than the others because I met her IRL before I started reading her blog. ...

Out of town

5.8.10

Hubby is away (and has been gone for the last 2 days) and I miss him.  I'm not quite sure why. I'm not the lovey-dovey type and he's been traveling a lot recently and because he's running for office I barely see him when he's in town and we've had ...

Cheating Celeb Husbands: I’ve HAD it!

3.18.10

I've kept my mouth shut for far too long. I didn't say anything about Elliott. I maintained my silence about Tiger (did you see the freakin' latest, btw??). I've bitten my tongue about John. I zipped it about David. And there were more. Through it all, I silently fumed and ...

"Giving Meaning to a Meaningless Life"

3.10.10

Okay, the title of this post is the most interesting thing about the next audio book I listened to. The Power of Love, by Dr. Laura Schlessinger was not what I expected it to be. What I failed to do is pay attention the description and focused too much on ...
