A Neapolitan Life: Waging a War on My Lifestyle.
http://neapolitanlife.blogspot.com/2012/10/waging-war-on-my-lifestyle.html
Monday, October 8, 2012. Waging a War on My Lifestyle. I am overweight. No surprises there, I'm sure. But wait (weight? There's more: I have PCOS, type II diabetes, high blood pressure. I take pills for anxiety and depression. I have no energy and all this is compounded by my working 3rd shift. He's an awesome kid! So I need to get my ass moving and figure out what works for me and just fucking do it already. So Here we go. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Something a bit more serious. . View my compl...

A Neapolitan Life: November 2012
http://neapolitanlife.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 7, 2012. Slack, cutting myself some. Here's a story my friend told me last night:. It's time to plant a tree folks. It's time to take the worry and stress off my shoulders and let God handle them. I can change a lot of things about myself, but I can't change the past and I can't change how others handle situations. I can only do what I think is right and good and let the chips fall where they may. So, this weekend is fall cleaning. Sort of like Spring Cleaning, only in the fall. Yeah ...

A Neapolitan Life: December 2012
http://neapolitanlife.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 22, 2012. 2012 Year in Review. 2012 has most definitely been MUCH better than 2011 was. 2010 only beat it out because Quinn was born that year and that was AWESOME. I got a 14% raise, in two increments (One 12% market increase in summer, and then the typical 2% yearly.). I got a new car with better payments. All our bills are up-to-date. We're working on buying the house we're living in. We need to eat healthier. We need to exercise more. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Woman, Mother, Empl...

A Neapolitan Life: NaNoWriMo
http://neapolitanlife.blogspot.com/2012/11/nanowrimo.html
Thursday, November 1, 2012. NaNoWriMo is not another language. Well, not really. It's National Novel Writing Month. NOVEMBER! Of which today is the first. The pressures of the "story" come at a cost to me if I have to deal with it every day. (Which is why I am a scientist, not an author.) So I have elected to do my own thing here and write a blog post every single day the whole month. This will include my world famous annual Thanksgiving post. What? You've never heard it? Thank you for your time. Yo no s...

A Neapolitan Life: February 2012
http://neapolitanlife.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 12, 2012. But ya know what? I am the luckiest person I know. And I take it for granted that I'm healthy and I have a healthy, happy family. If people who are going through the worst thing of their lives can be grateful and appreciative of their family, why can't I? And I am, I know I am. but sometimes that gets lost in the hustle and bustle and exhaustion of another day. So it's time to put it forefront of my life. Starting NOW. Saturday, February 11, 2012. What am I going to do? So that...

A Neapolitan Life: Post #2 and #3- Mortality and depression
http://neapolitanlife.blogspot.com/2012/11/post-2-and-3-mortality-and-depression.html
Saturday, November 3, 2012. Post #2 and #3- Mortality and depression. I am 38 and 1/2 years old. My mother died 12 years ago (tomorrow) at age 48. 9 and 1/2 years from now I'll be her age. She fought cancer for a year and a half. A HARD year and a half. She was young. Her children were young adults (26 and 22.) It wasn't fair. It was hard and ugly and frustrating. How does one deal with the loss and not lose parts of themselves? To not feel sorry for ourselves? I spend a lot of time inside my head. I...

A Neapolitan Life: May 2012
http://neapolitanlife.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 19, 2012. The Weird Sisters" By Eleanor Brown. The Weird Sisters" is about, well, three sisters that actually aren't really that weird at all. The "tag" line, as it were, is "See, we love each other. We just don't like each other very much." Which, really, defines a lot of families these days. Bianca is the middle daughter. She is the party girl with a penance to pay for her fast paced life. Cordelia is the stereotypical youngest child. You're supposed to feel sorry for the older two be...

Sunday, November 4, 2012. So I look in your direction,. But you pay me no attention, do you? I know you don't listen to me. Cause you say you see straight through me, don't you?

A Neapolitan Life: January 2012
http://neapolitanlife.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 17, 2012. What Are You Reading? I just started Stephen King's 11/22/63. It's an intimidating 849 page book about time travel. The way it started seductively sucked me in immediately. I'm hoping our Mr. King can keep the pace, cause it's well on its way to becoming a favorite. So what are YOU reading? I think I might read an oldie "Time and Again" by Jack Finney (sp? Next It's about time travel too, but I don't know the specifics. Monday, January 16, 2012. Sunday, January 15, 2012. So lat...
