Go That Way Really Fast. Inspired words from a girl who knows how to ski. Tuesday, July 31, 2012. Big Girls Don't Cry. That tiny flicker of hope that I had this weekend was crushed by the arrival of a monthly friend on Sunday. I'm surprised to say that I didn't cry. I felt officially defeated, but I did not cry.

Go That Way Really Fast. Inspired words from a girl who knows how to ski. Monday, October 29, 2012. First things first, I am a capable speller and my title was a purposeful accident. As I began typing the title of my post, my left pointer finger decided to have a spaz moment and throw a "r" in the word "woman." I quickly began to backspace my mistake until I realized that some mistakes are meant to be. This was one of those convenient mistakes. Unintentional weight loss. I get busy at work, or start ...
