Mountains & Mole-Hills

I have to apologize: life is pretty good. Which is odd, I know, but I suspect that tragedy makes for much more interesting reading, I certainly feel more passionate when I’m ranting. Although I suppose that doesn’t make the reading any more enjoyable. So yeah, life is good. I’m getting stuff done: It doesn’t look [...]
A week (or two) in the life
I think an update is in order. First, because I’m looking for an excuse to tell you that I lost 10 pounds. Second, because I’m also looking for an excuse to tell you what the therapist (under whose influence I lost said poundage) said to me this week:
Getting Dumped In High School
Getting dumped in high school really sucks, right? Now imagine getting dumped by your high school guidance counsellor.
By the numbers
Yeah, I know. I’m not a number. Numbers on a scale don’t define me. But they do describe me. And when I stepped on the scale this morning, for the first time in months, the description was… unflattering.
Swearing at Facebook: OK. Swearing on Facebook: NOK.
I kinda feel like the wheels are starting to come off. Last night, the vitriol:
Micro-Musing

Remember the summer salad challenge? Um, yeah, that. Anyone who was keeping track knows that I didn’t actually hit my goal of 12 weeks/12 salads. Or, well, at least not 12 posts. I’m not that fussed, because I did achieve 2 things: established healthier, vegetable-laden eating habits discovered and/or concocted far more than 12 salads
Super-quick post with a super-quick salad
Eep! I just realized I forgot to post a salad last week. Which is especially lame given that I knew what I wanted to post, and it is SO easy. This is perfect for a last-minute, crazy-busy, shoot-I-don’t-have-a-salad morning.
Corn, Crab, & Roasted Red Pepper Salad With Lemon Basil Dressing

This salad is a mishmash of 3 different recipes: I started with Crab, Corn, and Tomato Salad with Lemon Basil Dressing, took away some tomato (which I’m not that fond of – don’t ask me why I picked a recipe with “Tomato” in the title), added grilled red pepper (which I LOVE), and replaced the [...]
Reset (and another salad)
The scale is being a bitch. I was still feeling pretty Zen about it (or, at least in spite of it) earlier in the week, but no more. Please bear with me while I drag you through the details. Or, if you like, skip to the bottom for this week’s salad. (I’m totally ok with [...]
