I think I might just sell it. Another summer has gone by with it just parked in the yard.

Well, when I first started this, I was 109 (5’5” female), I am now up to 120. Woohoo! My secret, eat! I didn’t really realize until I started logging my food that I wasn’t really eating that much. I thought I was because when I did eat, I would eat a really big portion, but that doesn’t count. It’s the frequency that does. It felt physically bad at first to be eating 3+ times a day, but now it doesn’t, I feel SO much better and I really like how my body is beginning to look. I didn’t realize that I had a really warped body image.

After getting a BS in Physics, then grad school in Physics, I thought I got it. But I realized that I really didn’t get it until I started teaching it. That’s when you really get it. To be able to explain it to another person was it for me. If you need help with it, try tutoring it for someone, I bet it would help tremendously.

i love my two cats. Moxie is 8 years old and came as a kitten from the SPCA, and Clementine is 2 years old and I found her as a kitten in a parking lot. My neighbor said that in her next life she wants to come back as my cat.

Yeah, my engine has water in the pistons from bad fuel, which came with the boat when I got it. I am so bummed. So I got a manual and a friend who’s handy, and we’re going to give it a try. Wish me luck.

Well, it’s been a few weeks, but I am up three pounds to 112. It’s been slow, but considering I’ve started a new job in that amount of time, I am pleased. I think now that I’m not so stressed about the job, I’ll gain a little faster. I suppose a pound a week isn’t too bad.

Quick tip: I’ve discovered that those Sunbelt Chocolate Chip Granola bars have 200 calories in them apiece! A box of 12 is only $3, much cheaper than the Clif bars, which only have 25-50 more calories in them anyways.

There are lots of books out there that can help you, The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep, is one of them. I also had a Buddhism professor who had a method that works. Several times through out the day, look down at your hands, really look at them, turning them over, and say out loud to yourself, I am dreaming. Within a week, while you are sleeping you will in your dream, no doubt, look at your hands. When you notice your hands you will remember to say, I am dreaming, and you will become lucid during the dream. This is where the practice comes in, because initially you will wake up as soon as you become lucid. But if I can do it, you can.

A negative!

I have no problem with OpenOffice. I’ve been using it exclusively for about 8 months now. Download was easy, its use is easy, very similar to Microsoft Office. The only thing I wish that OpenOffice offered was something similar to Publisher, that is the only thing I still have to use. It can be frustrating at first, since you are so used to things being in a certain place with Word, but if you can’t figure out how to do something, just type in a keyword in the index in the help section and it’ll tell you how to do it.

By the way, to set the margins in Writer, click on Format, then the page item (about a 1/3 of the way down on the menu). Viola!

enough said!

when i was little, i completely designed the layout of what i called my ‘scooby do mansion’. it is complete with secret passageways, hidden rooms, you’d even be able to peek through paintings at people. i’ve worked out the bookcase door and the revolving fireplace.

i am totally going to build it and then i’ll invite all of you to a big party, and spy on you!!

i would like to have control over the visions that i experience.

i had the best time. i went by myself for 2 months. met people, saw amazing things. it was incredible. it was one of the most awesome things i ever did.

it’s not all that.

...being a vegetarian!!

i bought one, now, if i could just play it.

i literally threw out my tv 5 years ago. just get rid of it! now i spend my time in the evenings reading or writing. i do all kinds of needlework. on clear evenings, i have a nice space set up outside and i look at the sky. imagine that!

it really is great for those of you with kids. my daughter has an amazing attention span, she actually plays all day. miraculous, living life the way it supposed to be.

you don’t need it, it’s full of commercials anyway, and believe it or not, they call it programming for a reason. i still go to movies and rent the occasion dvd (i watch it on my laptop), but i would have to say that i feel much better without one.

...is so good.

...are awesome! I’ve been teaching astronomy labs for a few years now and I love looking at the sky. Even during the day I can’t stop looking at the clouds.

Look up!

i cut my hair super short in ‘97, i mean really short, like 1” long. i haven’t really cut it since. i’ll trim the edges, but i don’t go and have it cut. i like it now, it really long, i think it’s sexy, and it’s healthy, it’s not ratty. i wear it up, i wear it down, lots of options. just take care of your hair and don’t damage it too much.

i wouldn’t recommend the hair vitamins unless you plan on taking them forever. i took them a long time ago, and my hair grew lots, but when i stopped taking them, my hair started falling out, and wasn’t as thick. now it is normal, but i wouldn’t recommend being dependent on anything.
