Birthday Challenge: Complete
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, Life on October 13, 2011
Do you have any idea how many servings of pretzel M&M’s one consumes when she eats 38 of them?? That would be 2.5 servings, folks. A whopping 425 calories. That’s right. Four HUNDRED twenty-five calories. How about 3.8 nestles tollhouse cookies?? Roughly 380. To say that I’m not counting my calories today would be…reasonable, I […]
So, it’s been…like…months

I know. I really do. But, you see, life just keeps barreling on. Things keep happening. Things that keep me away from my blog for mostly good reasons. Things like a week spent camping in a tent with my kids. During which I spent 23 hours at home, baking, decorating, and repairing crashed cakes. Yep. My […]
Random Thoughts.

1. I have no idea why anyone drinks Swiss Miss hot chocolate. For 5 minutes worth of effort, made-from-scratch hot chocolate tastes like a completely different drink. And heaven. All at the same time. 2. Lactose Intolerance can kiss my butt when there is made-from-scratch hot chocolate around. So can any semblance of a nutrition […]
Working Out
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, Life, P90X on January 25, 2011
I totally love my workouts. I do. However, I also totally love sleep. When I can get it. I have lacked the motivation to get out of bed several times over the past 3 weeks due to a bit of a lack of sleep, and have always, always wound up feeling seriously grouchy at myself […]
Not Mine

I went to a concert tonight. Sort of. I say sort of because…well…concerts have changed a bit since I went to them as a teen. Or a young adult, for that matter. And, friends? For the record? I am no longer a young adult. I know this now. If I had any doubt of that […]
Just Ridiculous
Posted by malindar in Life, Reflection on December 15, 2010
The most ridiculous things happen to me. I know, I know, they happen to you too. They happen to all of us. But seriously…when I tell people the things that happen to me, they stare blankly. Because they’re ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous. I had a car accident about a week and a half ago, on 12/2. […]
Having a rough day?
Go here:nienie dialogues Yesterday, I needed sunshine. Today, this gives me perspective. My rough day seems…so much more tolerable when I realize how much rougher it could be.
There may be something wrong with me.
I can’t tweet. I can’t come up with decent status updates. I can’t decide on a single thing to blog. The mind that constantly thinks along these lines…won’t. I’m either entirely preoccupied… …or it’s writer’s block… …or something. Meanwhile, I’m done staring blankly at my screen, and I’m going to bed at 10:15. Maybe my […]
Amazing
You know those friends who are just amazing?? The ones who stand behind you and remember things you forgot you told them and take time to let you know they’re thinking of you and they love you and you are on their mind at just the right moment?? Pretty incredible. What a gift.
