There is nothing I can think of at the moment worse than having to eat this stuff for one more meal. Maybe I’m exaggerating. Maybe not. I’ve never been so bored with a diet in my life! I’m officially giving up. Okay, so let’s be honest… I gave up over a day ago LOL As a matter of fact, Wednesday evening I celebrated giving up …

A few days ago, I accepted a challenge with Lynsey (The Party Plan Coach) to do the Cabbage Soup Diet for 7 days. As I was cooking it, it seemed like it was going to be an easy feat. I LOVE Cabbage Soup. In my “diet introduction” post I published before, I expressed how delicious the soup was and how excited I was to see …

I’ve been trying to lose weight for, um, 2 years now. When Zoe was born, I halfway expected the weight to just fall off the way it always had before. Big mistake. Now, here I am two years later and I’m still waiting. And waiting. And realizing that I’m going to have to actually do something this time. About 4 months ago, I started a …

Last week, the feedback on my discussion post (which I made a 94 on – figured into that score were discussion response grades of 85 & 90) said that I need to condense my posts to under 300 words and that my two responses to classmates’ postings should be more …

When I say I am the WORST at change, I’m apparently not lying. At all. It’s been 12 weeks and I have to say that although I have done better at this challenge than I have past challenges, it still has been an off and on (and off and on and off and on) struggle for me to keep it going. I’m still in it …

In 9 days and 5 hours, I will be arriving in New Orleans, headed toward the Arena to register for the American Idol Audition which will take place there on the 26th. To say I am excited would certainly be an understatement. I’m ecstatic. Okay, that’s an understatement too. I’m not sure the English language has a word for it… I mean, other than just …

It’s hard to believe that in two weeks, I will be registered for the American Idol audition and sitting in my hotel room a half mile from the New Orleans Arena staring at my wristband, awaiting the audition! Since posting my initial blog entry, “Help Me Get to the American Idol Auditions,” I’ve received such an overwhelming amount of support, I can’t even express how …

Yesterday I got in touch with the University about registering my classes for the Fall term. If you’re not up to speed on my collegiate academic history this post will probably lose you. I suggest reading up on things by clicking here.
Those of you who have been keeping up are aware that since I was provisionally accepted this summer, I could only take TWO courses …
