little bit of a vent
There's a lot of stress right now in my life. Things with my sister, my uncle, my boyfriend, and my friend are going on. All different things. All equally important. All not fair. I wish I could magically make their lives easier right now. But life is hard and I just keep looking to God for strength. I did not sleep well…

Company ice cream
So, my company is going out and buying ice cream for employees on a pretty regular basis. I hate to seem rude and turn it down, but at the same time I'm generally not interested in the triple chocolate super-mega-jumbo sized ice cream cones they always get. Does anyone know a business-safe and polite way to turn it down?…

I would assume so. Does anyone know for sure? If…

Unexplained Bruising...
This is waaaaay off-topic, quite possibly. Please bear with me. I noticed, yesterday, that I have *huge* unexplained bruises on the inside of both thighs. They were a shock to me, to say the least. I know I did not bump myself or otherwise injure myself. The only exercise I've been doing is my mini trampoline (and I don't…

What the FRIGGING HECK!!

exercise calories??
Ok, so I've read on here that it is important to eat all of your exercise calories. I work out only 4-5 days a week during the evening before dinner, but I work out hard...I know I burn at least 400 calories doing cardio alone. However, I eat my normal amount during the day and am usually comfortable. On my work out days,…
