This is why I don't do cardio
I had plans to do a nice, long yin practice when I got home from school today, but someone brought me Burger King for lunch, and I’ve only had fast food a handful of times in the last three years, and french fries taste so good! But that meant I had to get on the elliptical in my apartment office.
I’m now so cranky that I am jealous of my friend’s tea collection. Half of which I...

Make me a morning person
As I type this, it’s almost eleven in the morning. I’ve been awake for five hours. I’ve been dressed for approximately half an hour. This is my usual weekend routine—wake up about the same time as I wake up on the weekdays and then either lounge in bed or take a blanket to the couch, put on a movie, and doze for a few hours.

My response? “I’ll meet you for dinner.”
That was not allowed. So I pulled on some pants with an elastic waistline (best...

And I’m not willing to give up either in order to drop the...

Zero
This blog shares a premiere with Zero, written by Arizona author Tom Leveen. Tom’s having his debut party tonight, and I can’t be there, which saddens me. It’s one of the things I really miss about being home. He’s celebrating the release of his book at the site of my first real job. I got to know Tom after I had stopped working there (being a full-time student and putting...

Aye, it is all my doing
So it has come to this.
This entire undertaking is the result of a talk with my good friend, Kendra. It was January 2012, and I was on a visit to my hometown after moving in the space of six hours to start a job twelve hours later.
Kendra pointed out that I had a unique opportunity—I’m young, single, a voracious reader, and prone to making rash decisions (see the above job...
