If you haven't heard it, the song is about a girl who *thinks* she is gonna miss this guy when he breaks up with her, but finds out that what she actually misses is all the things about herself that she… Continue reading Miss Me More

The End of the Weight Management Program

One of the things my doctor is constantly obsessing about is my weight. To help appease these concerns I have tried diet after diet – all to no avail. Most recently (ok, about 6 months ago) he referred me to an endocrinologist who referred me to the Mary Free Bed Weight Management program – who… Continue reading The End of the Weight Management Program

I don’t know how to Twitter

Before I launched this blog, I had taken a well-needed sabbatical from Facebook which was, previously, the only social media site where I was active. During this hiatus I realized I didn't miss the drama and politics of Facebook, but I DID miss the news part of my newsfeed. To satisfy this craving, when I… Continue reading I don’t know how to Twitter

First Grade Writing Prompts – Day 2

I do not like bugs. Let me tell you why.     Reason 1: There was this time I was taking the trash out and a bug flew in my mouth and down my throat before I had time to react, and then I spent the next 24 hours wishing I could cut my head off.       Reason… Continue reading First Grade Writing Prompts – Day 2

Thoughts from Boston

Recently I went to Boston for work. While I was walking around the warehouse, I caught a glimpse of this beautiful cliff behind the building (see picture above). While I was admiring it, I asked the warehouse manager about it. "It's new," he said. "When we moved in, there was a hill behind the building,… Continue reading Thoughts from Boston

Variation is Inherent

For work I've been reading this book on Auditing (The ASQ Auditing Handbook, 4th edition, edited by J.P. Russell), and as I was reading through my many notes last night, I stumbled upon this quote: "Variation is inherent, it exists in all things." The idea behind this, at least as it applies to quality, is… Continue reading Variation is Inherent
