Malena's Journeys: November 2008
http://femalena.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 2, 2008. One of those weeks. Here's the lyrics. It really is a great song. Funny how lyrics can pick you up when you're down. One Day You Will". You feel like you're falling backwards. Like you're slippin' through the cracks. Like no one would even notice. If you left this town and never came back. You walk outside and all you see is rain. You look inside and all you feel is pain. And you can't see it now. But down the road the sun is shining. In every cloud there's a silver lining.

Ashton covered all different kinds of challenges, from physical addictions to mental obstacles. He says it best. It's easy to fight when everything's. Mad with the thrill and the glory;. And thou...

http://femalena.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 3, 2012. What does nearly two years make? Two fantastic trips to NYC, my new love. Traveling, traveling, traveling. Quitting my 6 1/2 year-long job. Starting my new job, my other new love. Celebrating one year at that job. Getting two amazing roommates who taught me how to feel alive again.

Malena's Journeys: August 2012
http://femalena.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 11, 2012. Can you believe it? I had my pre-op appointment this Thursday and it's made my nerves calm down tremendously. I haven't actually met my surgeon yet, but I have met the surgical assistant, Melissa, several times and I LOVE her. She always stays in the room for at least a half hour answering my questions and jokes around with me (a huge plus in my book! My birthday was on Monday the 6th. 27 is soooo going to be my year!

http://femalena.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 30, 2010. What's your favorite song to exercise to? For years now, I've always had Move Along by All-American Rejects on my playlist. It's fast, has a great beat, and the song is awesome! More recently, I have Good Life by One Republic on my playlist. I first heard it in a movie theater and I've been hooked ever since! Please, share your favorite exercise song! I need to build up my playlist. Thursday, April 29, 2010. Peanut butter squares, anyone? 2 sticks butter, softened. Before we set f...

Saturday, April 25, 2009. Let's make the most of this beautiful day, since we're together I might as well say. As many of you have already witnessed on Facebook, I've been having some more neighbor problems.I suppose "problems" is an understatement, as I have had to call the police on him 4 times in the last 2 weeks. He is INSANE. That blog I wrote "Adventures in Homeownership, Part 1" was only the beginning.here's the story. Won't you be, please won't you be my neighbor? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://femalena.blogspot.com/2012/07/thoughts-and-lists-from-almost-former.html
Sunday, July 29, 2012. Thoughts and lists from an almost former obese lady. I have NOT been excited until now. Anxious? Yes Scared. Ohhh yeah. Happy? Yes and no. Excited? I was finally able to get in touch with the patient liaison at the bariatric center, and while I wasn't able to schedule a surgery date, she did tell me they are currently scheduling surgeries for August 22nd. Yes, of 2012. There's so much I've had to do to prepare thus far, but I'm not even close to being done. Get a chest x-ray. I wil...

Malena's Journeys: February 2010
http://femalena.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 26, 2010. Hope dangles on a string. Like slow spinning redemption. The shine of it has caught my eye. Loss is a subjective word. Did I lose my willpower? Did I lose my focus? Did I lose my dedication? Have I lost my faith? Am I losing my job? Did I lose my best friend? Am I about to lose my mind? What exactly is loss? Loss is my temporary still. Loss has been my vindication. I literally feel change brewing. I can taste it. I can hear it. How do I find it? And I am flawed.
