OK, this is how I want to do Thanksgiving every year

Posted Friday, November 28, 2008 3:58 PM by HeatherLeigh
So I politely declined some plans for turkey day because 1) I didn't feel like traveling and 2) while I can handle 6 kids buck wild on sugar, I need a quicker escape than a trip back from Kent. And also, it just seems like it's too much of many things Read More...

Admit it:

Posted Tuesday, November 25, 2008 9:12 AM by HeatherLeigh
you have done this . I have recently. But only in the lead-up to a doctors appointment. And I apologized as soon as I was there, right before I said "oh good, it's not tuberculosis." I should never have read Angela's Ashes. Attention cyberchondriacs: Read More...

Bailout-palooza

Posted Monday, November 24, 2008 2:36 PM by HeatherLeigh
I hope that some day, we look back on this time hope that we never hear the word "bailout" (or is it/are it 2 words?). Much like I feel about "web 2.0"....well felt about it a few years ago before it kind of became it's own joke. It is said with irony, Read More...

In the spirit of appreciating the poor turkeys that are giving their lives

Posted Monday, November 24, 2008 10:13 AM by HeatherLeigh
I am going to try the blood donation again today. No antibiotics this time (not that they did me any good). If anything gets me this time, it will be that I haven't been all too interested in high-iron foods lately. I had to actually write a sticky note Read More...

Half an hour every day makes Heather a shiny girl.

Posted Sunday, November 23, 2008 2:52 PM by HeatherLeigh
The blog post I had hoped I would write someday. Every day now, I am spending a half hour in front of the light box. I'm not sure if it specifically is working or if it was the detox or some other stuff I am doing (gotta say that the detox was most definitely Read More...

Black Friday and Cyber Monday...

Posted Friday, November 21, 2008 2:31 PM by HeatherLeigh
sound bad but are totally good (and somewhat inconsequential for me because I am basically done with my Christmas shoppping...I know; don't hate me). Anyhoo, you can preview deals on these web sites: www.bfads.net www.blackfriday.com gottadeal.com www.cybermonday.com Read More...

Sometimes, when you work from home...

Posted Friday, November 21, 2008 11:52 AM by HeatherLeigh
you get stuck on this decision: is this work-related or personal? My work stuff ends up on my desk and my personal stuff ends up on my desk. No right or wrong. It just is. My work "to do" list sits on top of a flyer for a green cleaning service, which Read More...

OK, that was nuts

Posted Wednesday, November 19, 2008 11:43 AM by HeatherLeigh
I don't think I have ever been sick for 2 months before. I had mono in high school and still went to my prom. As I've mentioned, I am one of those people that figures if I can stand and walk, then I can go do stuff, including work, including prom. And Read More...

Song lyrics I heard today

Posted Wednesday, November 12, 2008 1:25 PM by HeatherLeigh
You know how there's a line in every song that sticks with you? Well, I have one for every song in my playlist... I ain't freakin', I ain't fakin' this. Shut up and let me go....hay! Take my hand and we'll jump out the window. When I'm with you, I feel Read More...

Further efforts in pursuit of a cure for crazy

Posted Tuesday, November 11, 2008 11:05 AM by HeatherLeigh
You probably know that sunlight is medically necessary. There's the whole vitamin D thing, but there's other stuff too. I think that sunlight promotes the growth of sanity. Oh, someone is going to link to an article about this, I am sure. In normal Heather Read More...

The appliest place on earth

Posted Monday, November 03, 2008 4:15 PM by HeatherLeigh
I never used to get the "apple" thing here. What's the big deal; they're just apples. And you have to cut them up to eat them or they just drip down your hands and make you all sticky and messy. I remember how weird I used to think a girl in my sorority Read More...

My comfort zone definitely does not include mayonnaise

Posted Monday, November 03, 2008 11:59 AM by HeatherLeigh
But it's good to get out of your comfort zone now and then. My friend Dave is one of the founders of J&D's Bacon Salt (which would have made it onto my good stuff list if I weren't talking about them here now), financed by America's Funniest Home Read More...
