is it vain that i would seriously consider naming...
i always kind of hated when parents name their kid Bill in some silly attempt to create a tradition.. i’ve always felt like that kind of thing was best left to medieval kings or ridiculously rich people with lame imaginations.
but honestly, some days i think Claire is just one of the loveliest names in the english language. momma did good.
for all my fitblrs out here,
i created a second blog to focus specifically on my adventures in getting fit and healthy. i kinda just felt like this wasnt the best avenue to talk about p90x and everything else ive been working on.. a little separation never hurt nobody!
findyourlovely is where you can find me. check it.
hope your today was lovely. i felt pretty good about mine.

caffeine and anxiety. my two arch nemeses have...
its kind of my fault. mostly. i know better than to drink coffee after four and think i can get away with it.
sometimes i go through cycles of depression. i think i’m there again; this past month has been excessively stressful on me for a myriad of reasons, and i’ve heavily favored bottling it up in the absence of any personal accountability. sometimes it’s just hard not to live...

you want to gain some respect, you say?
stop making promises you don’t intend to keep. i never asked for a pinky swear, so if you deal it out you had better be a man of your word. there is nothing in this world i despise more than a person who makes a point to raise hopes up, and then declines to follow through once it feels inconvenient.

i just finished getting all dolled up and now i...
well alright then.
