Procrastination

By Jean, July 24, 2009 4:46 pm

Recently, my husband and I have been getting more inspired. This afternoon, we briefly talked about how much time we can spend thinking about doing something, rather than just doing it. With the time that we’ve spent thinking of doing it, we could have done it, five times over.

But why have we procrastinated?

Writing things down puts my mind at ease and allows me to truly rest.

Snowy

By Jean, September 18, 2008 9:41 am

I wrote this to a friend, but thought I should post it for other friends as well.

This is so hard for me to say, but our cat, Snowy died this morning just after 3 am.

We  found her in the back yard close to the shed, lying on the ground. Her pupils were dilated, and her hind quarters were cold. Her front paws were getting cold. She was still breathing, but barely. As we spoke, she responded by moving her front paws a bit. Continue reading 'Snowy'»

Another Prema Medation

By Jean, May 23, 2008 11:03 pm

I must admit, I’ve not been very good at writing down my experiences, but when I do, I’m glad to be able to remember them for a longer period of time, and much more vividly than if I do not write anything down. Continue reading 'Another Prema Medation'»

Stuff

Ingredient X posted this at one time, but they don’t seem to anymore. I love it, so I must post it unless they ask me to take it down! Continue reading 'Stuff'»

I’m lopsided! My earrings give me away!

This was taken after I had all my mercury fillings replaced with Cerec brand ceramic inlays. Good stuff. Not much “exciting” stuff to write about a dental x-ray, but neat to look at just the same.

And yes, my ears are lopsided! They’re off by a lot! Click on the picture if you want to see it larger.

UPDATE: I realized why I’m lopsided. I never liked my hair parting in the middle, so I tend to style it with a part on the right side. Subliminally, I was tilting my head to keep my part! Gheesh! How vain of me! I’ll just have to deal with a part in the middle of my head if it gets rid of this “TMJ”, or clicking jaw I have. I’ll post back, although I’m sure it’s not of concern to anybody but myself! ;)

Car Sharing

I wrote this to a friend, and thought it would be worth posting:

As usual, it looks like Austin is ahead of the country with offering this:

Prema Meditation

By Jean, March 17, 2008 3:48 pm

Last Friday I went to a Prema Meditation class and it was so interesting, I have to share it. The class is small (7 people total) ~ The teacher (Norman), the ’student teacher’, another experienced Prema Meditation person, and 3 other students besides myself. Continue reading 'Prema Meditation'»

Pizza making at a well known supermarket…

By Jean, March 13, 2008 12:50 pm

I’ve mentioned to everyone that my hubby started working at a well known supermarket as a pizza maker. (Names withheld to protect both parties!) It didn’t turn out to be the job that he thought it would be. It’s more heavy lifting and cleaning and stuff like that. He said the percentage of time that he actually gets to make pizzas is around 10%. Yikes. Continue reading 'Pizza making at a well known supermarket…'»

Relearning to See

By Jean, June 7, 2006 10:27 pm

I’ve been learning more about retraining my eyes to see, and haven’t been wearing my glasses/contact lenses for 3 weeks now. It was strange at first, but my eyes have been getting better. It’s an odd thing, but I can think more clearly and find I’m “blocked” less. Continue reading 'Relearning to See'»
