Be the Change (Book) http://www.Writing.Com/main/profile.php/blog/spidergirl Yesterday, I just had to go running. It was raining, but it was 49 degrees! That's very unusual for January in central Pennsylvania. It stopped raining about halfway through my run, too, so it was really nice. I ran 3.3 miles and it was a tough run. My legs were pretty tired (which I blame on the short pilates workout I did before I ran), but I took it slow. I felt really good when I w...[Read Full Post] Sat, 28 Jan 2012 09:33:20 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/745769 I've been crazy about reading lately. Maybe it was making the resolution to read 52 books in one year that's scaring me into wanting to read all the time, but I've finished 2 books so far this year, and I'm currently reading 3 books! A blend of physics and Buddhism? This is a perfect book for me, as it discusses topics in which I'm very interested. I...[Read Full Post] Sat, 14 Jan 2012 09:18:11 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/744211 I read 42 books in 2011 (a high number for me), and they're all listed here: [Link To Item #1364461] along with a rating system of sorts. I thought I'd mention my favorites here, though. Here are my top 11 of 2011: This book scared me to the point where I had to put it down for a few days. Some people might not be able to r...[Read Full Post] Sun, 01 Jan 2012 09:18:03 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/742936 I'm a very bad blogger. Almost six months since a blog? Yikes! I've been thinking a lot about the state of the world lately, and I've found some things that only reinforce some of my own thoughts. I thought I'd share them. [Link To Item #1765162] Recommended by none other than [Link To User storymistress] herself! Wow. This ...[Read Full Post] Wed, 30 Nov 2011 09:55:29 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/740736 I'm in job-search mode again. I really loathe the whole process! I scour websites and newspapers to find open positions, then agonize over whether or not they're right for me. I apply. I wait. Sometimes I get an interview, then I agonize over that. The, most of the time, they choose someone else. It's a constant feeling of rejection and not f...[Read Full Post] Wed, 22 Jun 2011 08:55:11 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/726839 Today is my 7 year Account bday! Woohoo!! I'm celebrating by doing a sprint of reviewing - I want to see how many reviews I can do in one day! Considering I spend a good deal of time on each one, I'm not expecting to get tons, but I hope to do at least 10. If you have something you'd like reviewed (not too long), send me a link! I love the...[Read Full Post] Mon, 20 Jun 2011 10:36:48 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/726620 I love new beginnings! Usually, I can't wait and start my "resolutions" a week early! I know many people are against making resolutions because people tend not to stick with them. Instead of a list of general resolutions, I made a list of goals for myself for 2011. Some of these, I know I won't be totally consistent, and that's perfectly okay with me. I set a...[Read Full Post] Sat, 01 Jan 2011 07:25:57 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/714452 Honestly, I don't know how I made it through high school alive. If I didn't have a twin sister to bond with, I probably wouldn't have made it. Even with her, I felt alone. I went through depressions before I was 13. My parents were afraid to leave me alone in the house, I hid behind big clothes and long bangs, and I didn't like myself....[Read Full Post] Thu, 11 Nov 2010 10:08:45 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/711075 We started a pedometer challenge at work, and I'm excited to see how many steps I walk each day! "They" say you should walk 10,000 steps per day. Yesterday (the first day of the challenge), I walked to and from work (about 1.5 miles) and I worked a 7-hour shift. When I got home I was just over 14,000 steps! But I was exhausted and crashed on ...[Read Full Post] Sat, 02 Oct 2010 12:20:44 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/707483 I won my first running medal tonight! I totally wasn't expecting it! The race was called, "Market Street Mile," and involved a one mile run down Market Street finishing at the town's park. I started a bit faster than I should have, but dialed it back to save energy for the end. I'd never run a mile race before, though I had tried just a mile, so I had ...[Read Full Post] Fri, 10 Sep 2010 21:39:02 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/705763
