Kangatopia

We’re home! We’re home! And we had fun – lots of it! We’re sunburned, dirty, car is coated with mud, it’s going to take me the rest of the afternoon to clean the tent – but it was a wonderful, community oriented, happy, fun experience, and I quite frankly can’t wait to [...]

You know how when you sometimes make a funny, and you think it’s sooooo funny that you can’t stop laughing and you’re pretty damn sure no one else will get the utter hilarity of the joke?
Well.
I was just filling out these required health forms for Bear and me for the camp out this weekend.  On [...]

I’ve revised my attitude completely on this camping thing. I’ll be disappointed now if we don’t go. Yes, I haven’t done any real camping (ie, with a tent) since I was 12, but that’s no reason to shy away now. Bear is going to have lots to do, and lots of other [...]

Today, my horoscope says:
It’s all about life balance. Pushing yourself beyond your limits will actually hurt you in the end. Once you regain a sense of equilibrium — for mind, body and soul — you’ll actually get more done in less time. 
Check.

It looks like I am going to be spending the weekend outdoors and under the stars (or at least in a tent) on a [expletives deleted] cubscout campout. I am not a woman who is made for camping, and probably with my emotional state as [expletive verb deleted] up as it is – my son [...]

So, yesterday sucked. I pretty much spent the day feeling like I was on the edge of self-destructing, and quite frankly I was welcoming the idea. I’ve been thinking about how when some people are in the midst of dealing with a lot of emotional baggage (dead mother, broken heart, dissatisfaction at work, [...]

Back to the gym tonight where I accomplished two things: work-out lasted approximately 45 minutes (I didn’t keep track, it might have been closer to an hour); and I lost my membership card.
*Later:  I just called, and someone turned in my card.  I’m fairly certain I dropped it in the parking lot, and it’s [...]

I finally went back to the gym on Saturday and gave it my half hearted best for around 40 minutes and stopped giving a shit about my heart rate.  The key thing right now is to keep it at a minimum level to burn fat, and the rest will probably follow.  As I decrease my [...]

Whenever I announce that I need to take a break from Kangatopia, it’s because I am in the depths of some emotional bugaboo or I’ve been censored. In this last case it was both. I really resent censorship, especially when identities are so carefully protected. The censorship, then, feels as if I [...]

Kangatopia is on a break. I may write again later today or tomorrow, but for at least this particular moment I am going to crawl under my bed and wait for some reason to come out again. But, really, let’s face it: my writing isn’t very good, is it? There is no reason to check [...]
