Decorating the Elevator: May 2015
http://lauramerrill.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
About halfway through this teacher training, I didn’t want to do it anymore. There was no specific event that triggered this change of heart, more a combination of slightly uncomfortable factors:. A dislike of practice teaching, a guilt related to never quite understanding the material and never quite studying enough, a desire to have my Sundays back. I didn’t quit, though, because I’m a big believer in the universe giving you what you need when you need it. Not to bad either way. Stays pretty active, it...

Decorating the Elevator: A Few on Friday
http://lauramerrill.blogspot.com/2014/10/a-few-on-friday.html
A Few on Friday. 1 It's 5:21 in the morning and I'm making chocolate chip cookies with kettle chips. In them. Well, I was making them until I realized that I was out of baking soda so now I'm waiting until 6am to hit up the Kroger. The struggle is real, y'all. 2 I think my knee is broken! These hills, I blame them. 3 I believe I slept through a tornado in Oxford last night. I hope it didn't take down Game Day, that would be awkward. Would fit the bill. And head to Chapter 6 if you are interested. We all ...

Decorating the Elevator: March 2014
http://lauramerrill.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Well hey there guys. Just checking in to say that I'm checking out. Giving it up. Leaving it for a bit. Giving up what you might ask? The social media.the Facebook, the Insta, the Twitter, the Pinterest, the Blogger. That was kind of an embarrassing list to write. Lent is still kind of new to me but in my mind, it means a time of quiet reflection, getting back to basics. Sackclothes and ashes, yo. A time of prayer, repentance, alms giving, atonement and self denial. If you want to ask the wiki. I can't m...

Decorating the Elevator: Sauted Kale
http://lauramerrill.blogspot.com/2014/08/sauted-kale.html
Y'all I know that kale is hipper than bacon and cupcakes combined and you've probably had it a million different ways by now. Chips, hummus, hell maybe you've had it baked into a cupcake topped with bacon. Served it with a side of kale hummus or something crazy-town like that. But if you haven't tried this super simple presentation of it I suggest that you do. I used red. Kale, the recipe called for young. 1 head of kale, roughly chopped. 2 tbl olive oil. 2 cloves of garlic, sliced. 2 tbl red wine vinegar.

Decorating the Elevator: February 2014
http://lauramerrill.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Fresh Starts and Kale Quinoa and Avocado Salad. Well, I hope. Hope you're easing into this day with minimal stress and tiredness and an overall feeling of goodness. I say all of this zen shiz because that's what I'm working on today. I've spent the weekend eating thin mints, ignoring my Yoga Glo class reminders and drinking beers. Not really doing anything healthy; trying to pump the breaks a bit and get things back under control. Mondays are cool like that, right? Have a great week, friends! Just like h...

Decorating the Elevator: We Belong To Each Other
http://lauramerrill.blogspot.com/2014/10/we-belong-to-each-other.html
We Belong To Each Other. If we made a list of things that are hard for me to remember it would include the following: how to spell college and that we belong to each other. At least, that's how Mother Theresa put it. We belong to each other. Isn't that lovely? We could also say we are in this together or we are all one or we are all just walking each other home. Whatevs. Same thing. Same meaning. Same party. We're all here. And in it. And you know, sometimes we are in it. Thanks be to God for journeys.

A Few on Friday. 1 Does What Not To Wear. 2 I've been semi-killing it with dinner, too. Blackened shrimp salad a festive Rose. Bam. 3 I've signed up for yoga teacher training through Southern Star in Oxford.

Namaste, y'all. 4 Speaking of things that I've signed up for.we are quickly approaching that St. Jude half marathon. Have you made your donation yet? Links to this post.

Decorating the Elevator: Naked on Howard Street - My WW Journey
http://lauramerrill.blogspot.com/2011/01/naked-on-howard-street-my-ww-journey.html
Naked on Howard Street - My WW Journey. Get comfortable, kick up your feet, I've got a story to tell you. A story about how I went from this. Wait never mind, there's no picture. I tried to get a good "now" picture but I couldn't find one that wasn't fuzzy or didn't feature me looking like a lunatic. I like a picture, and there are some recent ones scattered throughout this blog, if you're interested. At the time, I would have rather stood naked on Howard Street. And you sure look pretty today! A few wee...
