The Word for 2017 | Renewal
Last year my word for the year was Transformational – and 2016 certainly was that. Mostly in terms of schedules transformed into over-busy as we hadn’t figured out how to put our Work Like No One Else mode back into lower gear. We decided that 2017 needed – no, it HAD – to be different. […]
Eye Spy | A Warby Parker Review
Let’s just put this out there: Getting older sucks in some ways. Just as you’ve dug into new levels of self-confidence and self-awareness, along comes crud like biology and the inevitability of age. For me, it’s eyesight. I struggled with horrible blind-as-a-bat eyesight for years. Then I had lasik eye surgery in 1998 and everything […]
Social Self-Censorship
If I was a “normal” person, I’d write more on this blog about things that really matter. That “normal” person existed a year ago. Before I started working for the City. Before “It’s a Little Plano” madness swept the interwebs. Before I people whom I don’t know follow and engage with me on Twitter and […]
Two Weeks (Plus Some) Later
I had my second round of stitches removed just over two weeks ago. Scar 2.0 isn’t nearly as “pretty” as Scar 1.0. Those are the breaks, I guess, when you have to have surgery on top of surgery. It’s angry and red, far bumpier and sensitive to the touch. Vanity, vanity…thy name is Shannah. And […]
I Unpacked a Box
The Hayleys are some tired people. And I would just like to say THIS IS NOT HOW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE. You know: Pay off the house, work close to home…life slows down and gets a bit easier, right? Right?!?! So far for us – not so much. Kelly has declared that THINGS must […]
Quick Update on that Whole C-Thing
A bit of a bummer – the lab results came back and the cancer was a more widespread than my doctor thought. Thursday afternoon Dr. Q’s office called to say there was still evidence of cancer cells at the edge of the tissue she removed over a week ago. The end result, it seems, is my inch-and-a-half scar […]
What You Think When They Say “Cancer”
I went in for my annual skin check mid-last month – the thing I made myself do as a silly 101 list item what seems like forever ago and have gone ever since – and mentioned the little bump on my shoulder that’s been irritating but not troublesome. Well it was troublesome. Enough so that the doctor removed […]
A Lot Can Happen (Or 25 Reasons Why I’ve Not Put Time on the Blog)
Other than my brow-and-lash dye post from yesterday (which I actually started writing in early January), I’ve not spent time writing for fun on the blog in two months. Holy cow. A catch up is in order. I’ve decided I’ll do some longer posts of the more interesting things that have kept us busy, and […]
