More True Confessions

Yes, I am a procrastinator. While I’m embarrassed to admit it, I must confess I don’t plan to reform anytime soon. It’s in my blood, the marrow of my bones, and the pores of my skin.
I procrastinate. I do that better than anything.
I have a list of to-do’s right on the side of my calendar, [...]
Over It

Maybe I’m suffering from a little menopausal insomnia. Perhaps I’m a little crabby tonight. But maybe I’m just over the girl thing.
Can we go back to being women?
I remember an evening in the late 80’s when my husband and I spent an entire evening with a young and clueless male friend, convincing him that adult [...]

What Do You Know?

The problem with being an overthinker is it’s a lot like being an overeater. You can only fast for so long. Thinking is necessary, overthinking is a disease. This gets tricky.
With two weeks sobriety under my belt, today I’m thinking a little, just to see what happens.
I’m wondering about knowing, and all the ways we [...]

Posted in Uncategorized on July 8, 2008 | 2 Comments »
A consequence of our thinkaholic world is that we don’t pay attention to our bodies.
OK, let me restate that. Some of us overthink our bodies to the nth degree – how they look, how they should be different, and the 1001 ways we could diet, exercise, breathe, cleanse, fortify, train, and otherwise obsess about them. [...]

With two free tickets in our hot little hands my husband and I took a no-risk chance at enjoying this movie. I wanted to like it. I knew it might be a challenge, snob that I am, but I was willing to put my prejudices aside and enjoy this film.
I expected the shallow focus on [...]

They don’t need to be the coolest, hippest, most Indie, or even from this decade. Pick what you like and rock on. Here’s the list that’s turning my crank these days:
I’m Beautiful – Bette Midler
Gonna Make You Sweat (everybody dance now) – C+C Music Factory

Freeway of Love – Aretha

Overthinkers’ Antidote #2: Play
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged cycling, escape, overthinking, play on July 2, 2008 | 5 Comments »
Overthinkers have a tough time with play. This is a symptom we have in common with overachievers. In fact, it’s possible to be an overthinker and an overachiever at the same time. If so, you’re doubly miserable.
Overthinkers might be persuaded to play, but overachievers can turn even play into something that feeds the addiction. I [...]
