I am finished!

It has been a long two years, lack of sleep, lots of reading, lots and lots of writing and I am happy to report only two breakdowns, (one revolved around accounting and the other was Human Biology) and I am a college graduate.  I graduated with High Honors (Summa Cum Laude) and was invited to … Continue reading →

Going Home…

The last time I stepped foot in the state of Michigan was 2012, it was summer time and I was here with my husband and kids.  This visit has been far different I flew to Escanaba by myself, in the middle of winter for my grandmother’s birthday.  I am older and one may even argue … Continue reading →

The Holiday Bustle

I wanted to let everyone know I am alive and kicking.  I survived Gingerbread Village 2015 and Boat Parade.  It was a long November with school, Gingerbread, Boat Parade, somehow I survived and got some much needed time off.  I started creating again it was definitely put on the back burner with school and work. … Continue reading →

10 Long Weeks…

This quarter made me question my sanity on more than one occasion.  I thought Business Law, Accounting and Finance were difficult nothing prepared me for Fundamentals of Communication and Consumer Behavior.  These two classes by far were the hardest for me not because of what I was learning but because I didn’t get a break.  … Continue reading →

Day 21 – Time off

Okay I admit I hit day 19 and I had to stop, that woman is crazy.  I decided to try some yoga in its place, I also found yoga is much easier in a class the videos suck.  I do like the Yoga Meltdown Video but I wanted something easier.  Today I picked it back … Continue reading →

Day 18… She made me cry

There I said it, after 18 days of this, I broke.  I broke down like a toddler who had their sandwich in triangles opposed to squares.  I completed the whole workout including the plank twists but I cried.  Today my arms feel like lead and my legs hurt too.  Tomorrow I hope I can get … Continue reading →

Day 17

I honestly don’t remember this morning’s workout I think I have a mental block or it is because I am drinking some God awful 10 year old Scotch.  That is what I get for not going to my normal liquor store, they never steer me wrong.  Oh well live and learn stick to what you … Continue reading →

Day 16

So today I really thought tears were going to happen, my arms feel like they weighed 1,000 pounds each.  You wouldn’t think 3 pound weights would make a grown woman cry, but 16 days worth of 3 pound weights almost did.  I will say I am far less sore after a ten and a half … Continue reading →

Day 15

I have made it 15 days and today I finally did this thing called a walking push up.  It was hell, I can’t even describe how awful they are but I managed to do a full push up from the toes not the knees.  I have always had problems with push ups because my shoulder … Continue reading →
