This is a busy time of year for my job; that's the main reason. I've also been trying to spend a little less time online in general, a little more time engaged with the "real world," if you know what ... http://lessinayear.buddyslim.com/2009/08/24/slack-about-writing/ I've been MIA for about a week -- sorry about that, friends! I was out of town Friday through LATE Monday, and then Tuesday was a totally lost day trying to catch up at work. Yesterday was better... Till I had a huge new project thrown at me. It's just ... http://lessinayear.buddyslim.com/2009/08/13/lots-going-on/ I've been a little MIA for the past few days. Work is... Well, my job is challenging always, but this time of year is particularly busy, and I have a lot of projects stacked up. Unfortunately, at my job, poor planning on other people's parts DOES constitute an emergency on ... http://lessinayear.buddyslim.com/2009/08/06/one-of-those-weeks/ For the weekend, that is. :) Of late, I've been traveling a lot on the weekends, which is fun and hard all at the same time. This weekend is one of only two for the next SEVERAL weeks (months?) that I'm not either going anywhere or having guests stay with ... http://lessinayear.buddyslim.com/2009/07/31/free-at-last-free-at-last/ I told myself when I first started on BuddySlim that I'd set mini-goals for myself every 10 pounds. (One of these days, I'm actually going to make it to that first one!) And I also decided that every 10 pounds I would treat myself to a massage -- a good ... http://lessinayear.buddyslim.com/2009/07/29/eager-for-a-massage/ Last night my boyfriend came over after work. It had been a pretty tough Monday for both of us, so we were in agreement that we wanted a quiet, do-nothing kind of night. We curled up and started flipping through stuff on TV and came across the new ABC show ... http://lessinayear.buddyslim.com/2009/07/28/reason-456-i-love-my-boyfriend/ Leaving work shortly for another weekend out of town. Cannot wait till the schedule slows down and I can sleep in, clean house, and do nothing! Argh!! Anyway, this weekend we're headed to my mom's to celebrate her birthday, and also to visit with other family who are going to be ... http://lessinayear.buddyslim.com/2009/07/24/another-weekend-on-the-road/ Last night my boyfriend and I had our gym date. Right after work we headed to the gym and did 35 minutes each on the elliptical, plus some stretching and a couple of cool down laps on the track. It was great -- and I was really pleased: Despite like ... http://lessinayear.buddyslim.com/2009/07/23/new-plan/ This evening I have a date both with and at the gym. I have a "gym date" with myself -- I am not happy with how I've scheduled my time lately, and my lack of time at the gym, so I need to remedy that. But I also have a ... http://lessinayear.buddyslim.com/2009/07/22/gym-date/ Was out of town this weekend for a family trip to Ohio. Long story, but suffice it to say that it had to be done, even though it meant 15+ hours in the car for very little ultimate reward. Anyway, it's done, and I'm back. Didn't get to do much ... http://lessinayear.buddyslim.com/2009/07/20/traveling-is-hard-on-the-routine/
