Sew Succulent: M is for Maris
http://sewsucculent.blogspot.com/2009/02/m-is-for-maris.html
Tuesday, February 17, 2009. M is for Maris. My sweet friend Shelby welcomed her second child, Maris, into the world two weeks ago and boy is she cute. I made this little dress for her this weekend, and although it looks huge now, I bet she'll be in it by the time she's three months old. This is a easy pattern, New Look 6576. It sure does make me long to have a serger, though. I can never figure out the best way to bind those edges. The fabric is ADORABLE! July 19, 2010 at 7:46 PM. View my complete profile.

Sew Succulent: A Very, Very Romantic Valentine's Story
http://sewsucculent.blogspot.com/2009/02/very-very-romantic-valentines-story.html
Friday, February 13, 2009. A Very, Very Romantic Valentine's Story. Pete: " I'm going to Krogers - do you need anything? Me: "I could use some flour.". Pete: "Not to take the surprise out of it, but what kind of flowers do you want for Valentine's day? Me: "Oh, I don't care." [Then I start to think about how we're having company all weekend.] "Actually, don't worry about it because we're going to keep having to move them on and off the kitchen table for meals.". Pete: "Sounds good.". Nice blog. :o).

Sew Succulent: Of Mice and Men
http://sewsucculent.blogspot.com/2007/08/what-is-in-air-people-seems-like.html
Friday, August 31, 2007. Of Mice and Men. What is in the air, people? Seems like everywhere I turn these days, inwardly or outwardly, sweet souls are suffering. Suffering from loss or loneliness or purposelessness. Some have some real biggies going on: deaths of loved ones, ends of relationships, isolation from their support system. And the rest of us? We are all islands in a common sea. Hard to say. I'm just glad we're friends. And have been making Andrew some veggies and mice. I never grow tired of...

Sew Succulent: YIKES!! (and an announcement)
http://sewsucculent.blogspot.com/2009/02/yikes-and-announcement.html
Thursday, February 12, 2009. Where has the time gone? Actually, I can tell you. I just endured a rather unfortunate adventure in midwifery, so I have quit my job and am now (and hopefully temporarily) a kept woman. The crazy thing about creativity is that even though it can flourish during stressful situations, it can also wilt away. That's pretty much what happened. Ahem. So that's that. And fill them with chocolates. I used to live just a few streets down from the bakery in Brooklyn and loved to go....

New Voice, New Life: Post-Grad Thoughts
http://newvoicenewlife.blogspot.com/2015/05/post-grad-thoughts.html
New Voice, New Life. My story of recovery from anorexia. Sunday, May 17, 2015. There was a little bit of deja vu happening, since I went to this same graduation at the same university just two years ago for my bachelor's, but it was just a lot more fun this time around. I was not in pain, for one, unlike summer of 2013 (the chili pepper miracle cream didn't come around until October. Dad and Big Bro went home this morning, but Mama Bear is staying with me for a few more days. And she will grocery sho...

New Voice, New Life: Trip Recap/The Aftermath
http://newvoicenewlife.blogspot.com/2015/08/trip-recapthe-aftermath.html
New Voice, New Life. My story of recovery from anorexia. Sunday, August 9, 2015. One major positive - my injured foot was basically fine. An issue for me this summer, but man oh man it hit hard again. I was close to non-functional most of Wednesday night and Thursday morning, just totally freaking the fuck out about irrational nonsense, knowing. It was irrational, yet still. August 10, 2015 at 10:54 PM. Im glad the trip went so well! Sounds like a great time! Crappy that the anxiety monster reared its ug...

New Voice, New Life: November 2014
http://newvoicenewlife.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
New Voice, New Life. My story of recovery from anorexia. Sunday, November 30, 2014. Hey everyone, sorry for my freak-out the other night. I'm still feeling very defeated and humbled, and hate having to face the fact that my eating disorder is not gone. And I am not recovered. It is certainly less present and all-consuming than it used to be, but it's still here and that really sucks. Freak out and lose it tend to be during the week before my period. These are the times I find myself bursting into tea...

New Voice, New Life: ED Status Update
http://newvoicenewlife.blogspot.com/2015/01/ed-status-update.html
New Voice, New Life. My story of recovery from anorexia. Tuesday, January 20, 2015. Haven't really done a big juicy ED update in a while, have I? Maybe because it's not on my mind as much - although by that, I mean the ED. A little less explicitly disordered. If that makes sense. I wouldn't really identify myself as "eating disordered" right now; more just as someone who's weird about food. Because the true motivation has always been: I can't stop. Areas where I've improved:. Better overall calorie intake.

New Voice, New Life. My story of recovery from anorexia. Saturday, August 29, 2015. First Week Goings On. Some non-school updates: Sleep. Well, you haven't really lived. Until you've been hit by a car." Um, what? Links to this post. Sunday, August 23, 2015. Re-Injured and Other Updates. Guess who overdid it in PT and re-injured herself? Oh, JUST ME. I have tentatively diagnosed myself with turf toe. And they are super cute and comfy (or as comfy as any shoes can be with a bruised and swollen toe). I ...

New Voice, New Life: December 2014
http://newvoicenewlife.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
New Voice, New Life. My story of recovery from anorexia. Wednesday, December 31, 2014. Well it sure has been a ride, hasn't it? This year I had some of my highest highs and lowest lows, and just about everything in between. Entered my first (mostly) pain-free year since 2011, finished my first year of graduate school, dated for the first time since college, came off my medication, made some new friends, kicked some ass, got my ass kicked a little, and whatdyaknow, I'm still here.
