It's All About the Walls

For those who've been following the neverending story that is the United Healthcare saga I am pleased to report what I hope is the end:  they paid. I started getting shots again Tuesday, and f...

Charlotte 's got a post up that hit home for me.  I've been the person on the receiving end of commentary like she received, and I know there's legitimacy to it because frankly, I'm still a bit ...

Yep, the ridiculousness continues with United Healthcare.  Remember the allergy misery of High Hay Fever Season down here in Florida?  And remember my allergy test results (link includes pict...

I think it's the baby boa constrictor that tipped him off. Yes all, Choreboy finally noticed the cold-blooded uprising taking place in our house after the number of snakes hit five (and after ...

Well, would you look at that! Blogger once again is permitting me to upload pictures: Not my favorite pic, but it'll do.  I got my roots done yesterday and this is the first time I've actu...

The Gum Zombie has taken up parkour in his latest attempt to shatter what's left of my sanity.  I think his favorite drill last week was scaling a 10-foot wall only to leap down off it onto some...

I am freaking LIVID. My allergy shots are suspended until further notice. United Healthcare chose my account to audit with the allergist and their auditing company has determined that United He...

Heya folks :) So I completed my Whole3weeks last weekend.  I weighed 142 at the end of it so essentially, in three weeks I lost... nothing.  Nada.  Zero, zip, zilch.  But on the plus side I...

So far today I have  killed my lower body workout; done my weekly "scrub" facial (I will NOT go gentle into that good night); started the laundry; baked the chicken thighs for this week's work ...

So in my ever-ADD manner of dealing with All Things Diet, I'm now on a Whole30 kick, initiated by our beloved Norma .  Theoretically we're doing the 30 days for the first 30 days in May, but I ...

I've reached my happy place with my food and activity again.  I'm eating well, I gave up the stupid nightly fro-yo (because I'm forty-freaking-three years old and I finally realized that somewhe...

Sorry ladies, but it's true and there's only one of him ;) No, seriously, this is what the man made for me: Please excuse the apocalyptic stash of toilet paper, but there are priorities, ...

Last night my belly dance class started up again.  I'd missed probably half of the last session due to ongoing issues with my knee, my allergies (still on roid-rage eyedrops and Zyrtec, and have...

'Nuff said.

Update:  Holy cow, this sounds depressed.  I swear I'm not!  Just sort of laughing at the insanity... good grief, what a weekend.  Oh well, so it goes.  Sheesh :) AND the Gum Zombie's dow...

Never being one to do anything in moderation, my allergy testing revealed that I am allergic to All The Things.  Grasses, molds, pollens, cats, dogs, roaches (!!!)... essentially, if it's tested...

I feel like I'm in a holding pattern at the moment.  I got down to 140.5, and then my weight did its usual wonky thing where it spiked up to 144 (thanks to a more carb-laden week -- mostly lenti...

Here's a map of where my readership comes from: Okay, once you've settled down from laughing at my rather petite readership (I value each and every one of the six of you!), take a gander at...

Why no title today?  Because in 6.5 years I think I've about run out :P  Or at least I'm out today.  But regardless, forward! ---------------------------- The scale has gone crazy in the p...

We're currently dealing with the annual winter* plague, which means sick kids.  The Elder spent the weekend and yesterday convalescing, and the Gum Zombie woke up yesterday with a fever.  I lef...

EDITED TO ADD THE FOLLOWING REQUEST, IN LIGHT OF A COMMENT I JUST RECEIVED AND DELETED: Folks, I respect peoples' rights to believe or disbelieve in spiritual matters as they see fit.  Please ...

Yep, totally co-opting the song title, but it fits.  In addition to work I've also got to pick up my steroidal eye drops and take the rats to the vet.  Why?  Because we have to check on how th...

141 according to the scale today, so it looks like the downward trend is legitimate. We'll see what happens over the next few days.  Not in an "I'm going to blow it" sort of way because, uh, n...

http://amandajustice.blogspot.com/2013/02/guess-it-was-legit.html

So today in theory I weigh 142.5.  I don't know -- it could be right, it could be wrong.  I mean, it's a pound down again so yay!  But it's also our old dial scale (the only one we have) and I...
